your insider's guide to Black Friday
the black friday edition is here
I am not entirely proud to admit that Black Friday is still one of my favorite holidays, but if there was ever an excuse to resurrect this newsletter, this had to be it. In my defense, the markdowns haven’t always been this mad; these days, the seemingly month-long extravaganza is enough to make any reasonably adjusted fashion girl cry. In hopes of helping you avoid any breakdowns this Black Friday, know that these are the sales I’ve seen that are actually worth shopping this year — and that you do deserve a little treat!
☞ my can’t-miss sales & deals
J.Crew, where classic sweaters - in red, in cashmere, and more! - are up to 50% off, and real (and faux) leather bomber jackets from Mango for up to 50% off.
Classy new kitten heels for the office from M.Gemi’s up to 60% off sale, and one that can’t be missed: Reformation’s 25% off everything sale, for timeless statement pieces like this skirt, this top, and honestly, all of these shoes.
What’s left of knitwear from Abercrombie’s 25% off everything sale, and if you haven’t been directed towards Madewell’s accessories section, where everything is 50% off, run.
The literal perfect pair of pants, worth scooping up in every color as everything is 25% off at Favorite Daughter, and it-brands for up to 50% off on SSENSE.
Up to 20% off amazing gift ideas from LeMel, plus my favorite party dress (I’m wearing here!) in a new holiday hue from Lioness’s up to 60% off everything sale.
Statement pieces, like this electric wedding guest dress, from Staud’s 25% off everything sale, and diamonds for 30% off at Ring Concierge.
If nothing else, practical and affordable pieces from H&M’s 30% off everything sale, or something trendy from Rumored’s 30% off everything sale, like this maxi skirt (more colors and sizes are also 30% off at Anthropologie).
Shopbop’s extra 25% off sale is another I highly recommend scrolling through; you can find everything from these sunglasses for just $30 to gorgeous investment pieces like these leather booties and splurge-worthy dresses at more reasonable prices for your upcoming events.
With vacations on the horizon, you’ll need to review Net-A-Porter’s extra 15% off sale for anything from Agua by Agua Bendita, Farm Rio, or Dôen, or snag an Instagrammable number from Asta Resort’s 20% off everything sale.
Build your New Year’s Eve outfit now to justify anything that’s an extra 25% off at The Outnet paired with all the party pieces that are 40% off at Danielle Guizio.
I would be remiss not to mention this under-$500 tennis necklace (it’s sapphire, but still!) from Mejuri’s 20% off everything sale, and my annual 30% off everything at Alo haul, which included an Accolade hoodie and sweats I basically haven’t taken off since purchasing.
☞ honorable mentions
Up to 50% off Aritzia, 30% off everything at Oak + Fort, 50% off everything at La Ligne, 30% off select styles at The Bar, an extra 20% off sale at SIR. The Label, a major suitcase upgrade from AWAY’s 20% off everything sale, 20% off everything at BAGGU, 20% off revenge dresses at House of CB, 20% off minimalism at DISSH, 40% off the best swimwear ever, and, of course, up to 75% off MILLY.
