Black Friday SALES!!


Oh my goodness!  Is your heart racing?  Are you nervous?  Excited? Thrilled?  Scared?  Are you at home?  Because I am!  I am not out and about at some crazy mall fighting an old lady over a pair of socks…I’m at home listening to Christmas music by the fire with my coffee and leisurely shopping.  Because that people is the real joy on Black Friday.
I’ve done a lot of work for you…I scoured the internet for my favorite retailers who are offering crazy good sales today (WITH FREE SHIPPING OPTIONS!) and then I’m featuring a few of my favorite things off of their sites.

Did you read that?  Free shipping and no lines.  No fighting for parking spaces.  No pushing.  You don’t even have to get dressed or leave your couch.  This is what Black Friday should look like!

I’m just showing you a few things, you need to dive in yourselves for exactly what you want…it’s Black Friday ladies…here we go…it’s about to get fun!!!


I’m starting with Loft because with 40% off…you really can’t go wrong!  Big things to look for at Loft are jewelry, outerwear and a little sparkle for the Christmas season…

Black Sequin Tank, Sequin Boatneck Tee, Silver Sequin Tank

I love having a special little sparkly top to wear during the holiday season!  These would be so cute alone or underneath a cute little jacket or cardigan.  You could throw these tops on with a pair of jeans and you’d be all set!  Just a little sparkle is all you need!

And for other fun pieces…I found these too…

Striped Sequin Tee, Black Lace Sweater Tee, Red Boatneck Blouse, Vertical Ruffle Shell, Boatneck Cable Sweater (in 6 different colors!), Sequin Brocade Striped Tee, Sequin Skirt

Did you see that skirt?  All you need is a basic tee and you would be the hit of the party!  Plus, a fun skirt like that will never go out of style!  Sparkle during the holidays is timeless…you will be wearing this every single year.

Look at how casual their tops are with their sequin skirts!  All you need is a little sparkle this holiday season :).
Click here to see everything Loft has on sale right now…all 40% off!


And Loft’s big sister Ann Taylor is also 40% off today!  This is where I go for great staple pieces that you’ll have forever (great pants, skirts, tops, tights, and so on).  But look what other fun pieces I found…

This jacket is CRAZY cute!  Whether you’re shopping for someone who is 16 or 66, this would instantly add fun to any outfit!
I also saw this sweater and think it’s perfect for holiday parties!  It’s fun and kind of fancy without being too over the top!
For everything else Ann Taylor…and everything is 40% off…click here.
Shoes!  Shoes!  Shoes!  If you want to buy shoes for people in your life, buy them at Nordstrom!  Their return policy for footwear just cannot be beat…and shoe buying is so tricky…buy them somewhere that makes it convenient for your recipient to return if necessary!  (And don’t forget…free shipping on every single order!  You don’t have to lug these things through the crowded mall!)
I learned this from my own Grandmother…when you have several daughters, daughters-in-law, nieces, or granddaughters, get them each the same item but in their own fun color.  Here are several different things that you could mix and match for a group of girls!  Such fun gift giving!
Hunter Wellington Rain Boots are such a fun gift to give (and receive!)!  These will make excellent Christmas gifts!  Get each girl their own color!
These fun Uggs with cute bows on the back come in 8 different colors!  Imagine how cute your house full of girls would look in these!
Grab each lady in your life a different pattern of the same set of pajamas!  All you need next is cocoa and White Christmas!  Click here for the flannel sets and here for the fleece bottoms.
This is another example of what my Grandmother would do at Christmas…she would buy each of her girls a pair of Toms in a fun pattern or color.  Such a fun way to give gifts!
Leopard, Red, Camo, Zebra, Pink Paisely, Dark Green
Every single time I wear this scarf, you people go nuts!  It sells out quickly and then is out of stock for a month at a time.  It’s in stock right now and I promise you…it will be gone by tomorrow!  For $18, this is what you buy your babysitter, your best friend, your niece, your daughter, your mom…you buy it.  And then buy one for yourself!  
This scarf…is such a great bang for your holiday buck!
Robes are great gifts to give!  Everyone loves a soft and comfy robe…but rarely do we splurge on things like that for ourselves.  These are each under $50 and come in 4 really fun colors!
Click here to see all of the brands on sale at Nordstom!  (Michael Kors, Tory Burch, Steve Madden and so many more!!)
At Gap, you can buy everyone on your list something warm and cozy for the winter.  Whether they’re 2 or 92, boy or girl, you can find cozy knits and fleece to keep them toasty from head to toe…these are the things Christmas shopping is made for!
Click here to see all of the ladies Hats, Scarves, Mittens and More!  No figuring out what size she is…no guessing on if it will fit her.  Buy her these warm and cozy items and she’ll be all set for the cold days of January!
Click here to see all of the men’s Hats, Scarves, Mittens and More! Let’s face it…men don’t want a boring old shirt.  Get them something practical, something they’ll use every day, and something you know will fit!  These pieces will please any man!
But don’t forget the little ones too…
Click here to see the toddler girl cold weather pieces, click here for the toddler boy ones, click here for the young girl pieces and here for the young boy pieces.
Everyone on your list will love a fun knit item!

Look at these fabulous holiday sweaters!!  J Crew has taken the Christmas sweater and made it cool!  I love these!

    Hi shay! Quick question do u know if Welles run true to size..I wear a 8.5. Not sure what size to get?!thx sooo much

  3. Mix and Match Mama says

    I wear a 7.5 or 8 and sized up to an 8. Whenever I'm wearing my Wellies, it's either raining or really cold, so I have on thick socks. I think sizing up is better than sizing down for the sock factor!

    I have been wanting your leopard scarf for as long as you originally posted a picture of you wearing it. I was so excited to see it's back in; however, when I clicked on the link, it says it is already unavailable 🙁 Is there a way to see when it comes back in stock? I want this scarf so bad!!

  7. Erin Duddlesten says

    The scarf is already out of stock:( I will have to keep looking! I love all your blogs, your doing an awesome job!

    OMG that sequin skirt! I'm dying over it right now. Like I literally got heart palpitations. It's perfection. And Costco has Hunters for about 50% off what they retail for. They have the glossy black, navy and red.

    I ordered that leopard scarf several months ago and it was on backorder. I finally got it a couple of days ago and I love it!!! Now I am waiting on the taupe scarf like you have to arrive. It was on backorder too. Thanks for being my personal shopper. You and Sheaffer are the BEST!!! I have purchased so many items you two have recommended. 🙂

    Check out my daughters friends new site for jewelry. She makes all this and has been selling for years. Her husband is a minister of music and they are expecting their 2nd child. I know you will love it….You have the perfect look and what I call a great eye for style. Thanks Debbie Peterson

  13. Kris says

    I can't speak to all the brands, but if you are looking at Hunters you need to size down. I typically wear a 8.5 or sometimes a 9…my Hunter boots are an 8 and plenty of room for thick sock (not that you need them…they keep your feet warm…but lets be honest there are too many cute socks not to wear them!).

    I bought that beautiful cable knit sweater in neon coral from the Gap and I love it! NEVER would have gotten that if it wasn't for your post and pics.

    Thanks!
