The Black Friday sales craze has begun. Retailers are all enticing us with amazing deals and finds, and yes, we’re tempted.

I’ve scoured some of my go-to retailers so far, and as I see things selling fast, I wanted to highlight some things, as well as holiday-style picks you don’t want to miss. As always, for more finds, check out my ShopLTK. Without further ado…


Black Friday sales and Holiday Style Picks


Holiday Accessories

Accessories can make or break your holiday outfit so I wanted to highlight them separately. I searched a few of my favorite retailers and selected what I think, are great pieces to complete your look this season. Check them out below.

AMAZON has just everything under the sun on sale. I will emphasize the very best find, aka, my IPL Permanent Hair Removal device (reviewed here), this bag I just purchased, the ever-recommended portable carpet and upholstery cleaner, this kitchen system, this outdoor pizza oven, this 6.5 feet Christmas tree, this artificial wreath, and more.

ANTHROPOLOGIE has 30% off (exclusions apply) plus an extra 50% off sale items. I love their home category, and jewelry, specifically, earrings.

That aside, this dress is gorgeous and something that can be worn year after year and for various occasions. This is another dress that I don’t see going out of style. This bodysuit is a versatile piece to wear with trousers, jeans, skirts, shorts, etc. This sequin turtle neck top is perfect as something “extra” when you want to look festive, but not go all the way with it — wear it with a slip skirt or wide-leg pants.

BANANA REPUBLIC FACTORY has 60% off everything + an extra 20% off purchases. You’ll find there plenty of holiday-ready styles, (and my favorite so far) including this black dress, this red dress, this luxurious faux fur scarf that would go perfectly with this cowl-neck velvet dress, and more. I am sad that these pants are pretty much sold out, but no surprise there — they were perfect; I would have paired them with this top. Apart from their holiday items, I would check out this pleated top, these beautiful pumps, these strappy heeled sandals, this cable-knit sweater dress, this knee-length sweater dress, these satin palazzo pants, and, of course, their sweaters.

H&M is currently doing 30% off sitewide + select styles up to 60% off, and it’s a go-to for affordable finds, both trendy and classic. Their stuff usually sells out quickly, so I wouldn’t wait if I’m eyeing something. Out of their holiday items, I’d take advantage of the sales to grab this gorgeous coat, this textured blazer (I’d size down), this boucle blazer, this striped cardigan, this textured cardigan, etc.

INEZ is doing 20% off their beautiful and comfy shoes and boots. There are so many drool-worthy styles; I am loving this style — the mocha croco is drop-dead gorgeous, these booties, and these kitten heel mules in this stunning pinot suede!

J.CREW is having up to 50% off almost everything, and not surprisingly, things are selling out quickly.

I am loving J.Crew’s holiday shoes like these sandals, these rosette satin heels, these mesh slingbacks, these metallic heels, and these ones, though they might not be for everyone based on reviews. As far as other items on sale, I’d take advantage of the highly coveted tweed lady jacket, the long sweater blazer, the striped lady jacket sweater, THE lady jacket, the slip skirt, this shirt-sleeve slip dress, this timeless dress, etc.

J.CREW FACTORY: 50%-70% off the entire site and store + $10 off every $50 spent online with code FRIDAYFUN. I shared here some of their new arrivals that caught my eye, however, they’re a great resource for basic and/or classic items you can wear every day in and out of work. Out of those: the should I say iconic sweater blazer, the classic schoolboy blazer, cotton-wool blend sweaters, the seasonal Fair Isle sweater, the pleated pants, the classic Jamie pants, and the very classic cardigan that was an absolute staple for me when I worked in the office.

MANGO is offering up to 50% off. For those unfamiliar, Mango is a good mix of classic and trendy styles. Their jackets are gorgeous — this one is stunning in its simplicity, this one is a true classic, and this one is ladylike and timeless. Their sweater dresses are also great — don’t miss this one, this one, and this one. I also love this paisley jewel-green dress (great for work as well), this textured jacquard dress, and this pleated dress (also perfect for work). This pleated skirt is chic and timeless — I would definitely wear it as styled with this sweater for a monochrome look. If you’re heading on vacation somewhere warm, this embroidered halter dress is just perfect for that.

ROC Skincare has 25% off sitewide + free shipping. I am seriously loving this face and neck contouring cream, and have loved all the products I’ve tried so far. Needless to say, this is a brand that earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine. Plus, all their products are so affordable!

SARAH FLINT is offering 30% off everything; today only, get a free 45 cm silk scarf with your purchase of $400 or more (after discounts are applied) — use code BLACKFRIDAY (make sure to choose your scarf and add to cart before checkout). This is the perfect time to shop my very favorite Natalie slings, these gorgeous ballet flats, and so many other beautiful styles for less.
