Happy Friday!
I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving. I watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade at home with my family. I may or may not have woken up at 8 am to see if the balloons would fly because of the high winds! And then my mom made the most amazing feast and is truly the MVP of the whole holiday. We then took the longest and most amazing nap and proceeded to watch a Harry Potter marathon. It was the most perfect day and I couldn’t be more grateful.
I also may or may not have done a little shopping already. My mom kept asking me “what’s the damage?” but some of the sales were too good to pass up! My first year of blogging I did a massive roundup of every Black Friday sale I could find, but since then I’ve cut back because I know it can be overwhelming. So instead, I wanted to share the 10 Black Friday sales I’m actually shopping.
FASHION
Am I biased since I work at Gap? Definitely! But they currently have 50% off of everything with code “BLKFRIDAY” and an additional 10% off with code “BESTEVER“. Plus some doorbusters that include $15 flannel pj bottoms, $10 flannel pj shorts and deals on scarves & hats. I’ve been wearing this Sherpa jacket to the gym and it’s so warm and I’m loving this plaid coat.
I’ve been eyeing this bag for a while now and since they are having 25% off (with code “DOMINOFRIDAY”) I decided to bite the bullet. It’s going to be perfect for my upcoming Vietnam trip. I picked up the Scout Tan color, but I’m also loving the Atlas Tan color and this duffle bag.
I’m normally not crazy about Shopbop sales. I know it’s great for big ticket items, but I’m not always in the market for a $200+ dress. However, I’ve been eyeing this fanny pack and it was on sale for $18. I wanted to pick up the black color as well, but it wasn’t on promotion. Their sale is all about “buy more, save more” with code “MORE19” so if you’re looking for any splurge items, I would definitely take a look!
I love Levi’s. It’s definitely one of my favorite brands and I look forward to their Black Friday sales every year. They currently have 40% off with free shipping and returns with code “INDIGO”. I didn’t really need any new jeans so I only picked up this polo that I’ve been eyeing. Plus you can get my favorite tee that I wear once a week and the jeans that I wear pretty much every day for 40% off.
I haven’t purchased anything from Asos yet, but they are currently having 30% off everything with code “BIG30”. There are a few things I’m eyeing for my upcoming vacation and it would be great to get them at a discount! Plus their assortment is so big that you can honestly find something even if you’re not looking for anything. I’m currently eyeing this flirty mini dress, this little red dress and this midi dress.
BEAUTY
I love Tula products and let me tell you, I use and try a ton of different products and they have some of the best on the market. I’ve been out of their face wash for a while now because I’ve been too cheap to order a restock so I was excited to see they are having 25% off sitewide with code “BLACKFRIDAY19”. I picked up their most popular face wash that I swear by, a travel version for my trip, my favorite serum and this eye product I’ve been dying to try.
The Soft Glam palette is one of my favorite palettes. So when I saw this 3 Palette Vault for only $69 I had to have it. For context, individual palettes are $42 and you are getting three for $69. The brand released a handful of kits at discounted prices along with individual discounts on palettes, brow products, lip products and have a “buy more, save more” promotion so if you’re a fan it’s a great time to stock up and if you’re new to the brand it’s a great time to try some of their items.
EXTRAS
Every year I pick up a new planner from Sugar Paper because they are my absolute favorite. I just love the layout and the details and the look, it’s just the best. I think this is my third year in a row getting it. They are currently having 30% off with code “THANKFUL19”.
Is it even Black Friday if you don’t shop at Bath & Body Works? I always try to stock up on their candles. Fresh Balsam & Winter Candy Apple are some of my faves. They currently have “buy 3, get 3 free” and you can mix and match anything in the store. Normally that deal is reserved just for body care, but you can now mix and match any 3 items in the store which I think is really cool! They also have a few other deals floating around the site and a $30 gift bag with 8 popular products with any purchase of $30 and over.
I normally don’t go crazy for those big ticket items that Black Friday is famous for. I don’t have the patience for the lines and the people and I don’t even know that much about tvs and cameras and all that to know if it’s a good deal. But, I randomly clicked on the Target email to see their doorbusters because I was curious and because they were already available online. And… I walked away with an iPad! I had an iPad for a long time and one day it just gave out on me. I currently have a hand me down from Eddie’s brother’s girlfriend, but it doesn’t really work that great. And I’ve been wanting a new one to read books on and just something travel friendly so I decided to treat myself! I got the gold one that is wi-fi only with 128gb. It’s normally $429.00 and I snagged it for about $350!
And that is everything! Are you as exhausted as I am? Did I go overboard? I’m thinking no because ‘tis the season! Plus I also picked up some gifts for my family & friends throughout my online shopping excursion. This Black Friday is my mom’s first year not having to work so we are heading out with the masses and braving the mall to shop around and see what’s out there!
Happy shopping and hope you all have an amazing Thanksgiving weekend with your families!
