I hope y’all are having a wonderful Thanksgiving week! Mine was spent with family right down the road, on Folly Beach. The weather was absolute perfection, and it was fun spending some quality time with Sterling’s side of the family. My Black Friday shenanigans have been less involved than previous years. Growing up, it was always a tradition with my Dad + I to wake up at 4AM and stand in the old school lines outside the stores for ‘door busters’. My Mom always stayed home and slept in {don’t blame her haha}, but we loved the thrill of it all. These days I feel like my shopping is a little more 50/50. Some in person {especially to support small} + some online.
Alas, I did want to share some of my favorite sales I’ve been shopping myself. Don’t want to overload y’all, but these are my sales to check out, along with items I love, have purchased, or have in the cart.
THE BEST OF BLACK FRIDAY 2020
ABERCROMBIE | 50% OFF SITEWIDE | The popular middle school retailer {at least for me back in the day}, is still going strong on their come back. Scooped up this cream puffer and a couple mom jeans to try!
ASOS | Up to 70% off sitewide. Extra 25% OFF sale items {which is pretty much the entire site right now}. LOVE ASOS for a plethora of UK-based brands {like Sister Jane}, and quick-ship on brands like Barbour + Mango.
BED BATH & BEYOND | I feel like BB&B is underrated, but y’all, their options for coupon + code stacking allow for some killer deals on household appliances and #adulting things. Like this 30% off Nespresso! It’s also a great opportunity to indulge in a few tabletop additions, like Spode or Wedgewood.
H&M | 30% off sitewide! Plus free shipping over $40; no code needed. While I LOVE to support small businesses when I can, sometimes you can’t pass up the incredible price points at H&M. Loving their fine knit sweaters for laying in the fall + winter months.
JCREW | 50% OFF SITEWIDE + 50% OFF SALE WITH CODE ‘FRIDAY’ + free shipping. A trusty favorite, J Crew is always my go-to for Sterling. He loves their button downs + outerwear.
LOFT | 50% OFF | Recently back on my radar for come/cozy turtlenecks + fun, festive sequin and velvet pieces just in time for the holidays! I also picked up a couple pieces for my Mom that I know she’s going to love.
MANGO | Up to 50% off sitewide! A great destination for cozy sweaters, fashion-forward dresses, and some of my all-time favorite statement earrings. I love MANGO also for the fact that it’s not as widely shopped of a retailer. Nothing wrong with matching your bestie on occasion, but also fun to discover new finds!
What I’m Shopping
It’s impossible not to do just a little shopping for yourself with these insane deals, but I have only gotten a handful of items for myself/our household, and have been focusing on our families. I purchased this adorable, personalized cheese markers + milk frother for my Mom, a new charcuterie board + pairing book for my MIL, AirPods for Dad + Brother, mostly clothing for Sterling, and some cool shoes for my teenage sister – to name a few! If you’re looking for recommendations for specific people in your life, feel free to shoot me a DM or email!
Shop Favorite Small Businesses
While there are so many incredible small businesses that deserve your support this season {and I’m sure I’ll miss some}, but here are a few of my all time favorites! And one’s I’ll personally be shopping for myself + loved ones:
AMANDA LINDROTH | 20% OFF | 20% off full-price, additional 30% off sale + FREE SHIPPING through 12/6. Love Lindroth Designs rattan everything pretty much. I’ve used my wrapped tumblers over and over again, throughout the seasons – they’re super versatile!
CHAPPY WRAP | 10% OFF with code ‘BLACKFRIDAY10’
BEAU & RO 30% OFF | Charleston-based boutique that carries a great selection of easy, breezing clothing, unique gifts + accessories!
INDIA AMORY | 20% OFF | sitewide, for the most beautiful, hand stamped linens + napkins.
NICOLA BATHIE | The most beautiful statement earrings. Sterling bought me a pair for Christmas last year, and I just adore them.
WAITING ON MARTHA | Buy more, save more up to 30% – such a wonderful selection of speciality gifts + home items.
i definitely took advantage of a bunch of these! 🙂
