Hope everyone had the loveliest Thanksgiving with friends and family! We spent the day here in Chicago, just the four of us. (Five if you count Noodle, haha.) It was such a nice, laid-back day… and the dinner actually came out decently! (So proud.) Feeling more grateful than ever today… and also more tired than ever, haha. BUT TADA!
Here are all the Black Friday sales I’m shopping as well as what I have my eye on. AND Mitch and I have included several gift guides to make shopping easier. (Nearly everything included in them is on sale today!) Phew. Eyes drooping, haha!

Tartan Curtains (Yes, I’m crazy. They came in a week! So cool.)
Here we go:
Nordstrom
Up to 50 percent off the Cyber Sale. It’s crazy! SO much good stuff is included, but I’ve included a few faves above. This is my favorite cardigan of all time, I couldn’t live without these faux leather leggings, I just got this sweater and I’m obsessed, I’ve given this initial necklace as a gift on countless occasions, this is perfect for your mother, “Neutral Rose” is the only lipstick I wear, I love that Blondo boots look and feel like regular boots but they’re actually rain boots, you need a Wubby, and these are my favorite Sorel boots. (Nothing warmer than Sorel!)
J.Crew
Use code “FRIDAY” to take 50 percent off full-priced products and 60 percent off sale products. WHAT! You can see everything that I have my eye on here, but I’m really focused on the New Year’s top right now. (Festive, somewhat casual since it’s a tee, AND warm. Winner!) Also, this is the softest chambray shirt I own; I want this (haha); these are the perfect velvet leggings; the Cocoon Coat, Lady Day Coat and Chateau Parka are all included; this tartan sweater is a must; I think this is the coziest sweater I currently own (so soft!); this herringbone number is a top-seller; all the tartan pants are back in stock; I wore these perfect tartan flats yesterday for Thanksgiving; and I predict that people are going to go crazy over this pom pom sweater and this one, too. Oh wait! And the classic rollneck sweater is now available in fair isle. And these are my favorite pajamas. They look just like the classic pair, but they’re super soft and cozy. And they don’t wrinkle! The navy is fantastic.
J.Crew Factory
Use code “YAYDEALS” to get 60 percent everything and an extra 60 percent off clearance + free shipping. Products I want to highlight: the iconic bow coat, the ruffled collar tartan flannel shirt, this flannel gingham dress, this flannel shirt jacket (!), this tartan top, this navy toggle cape, this sparkly necklace (my most-worn during the holidays!), these velvet leggings, these over-the-knee boots, these pearl clips, this very soft chambray shirt (size down), this perfect pom hat, these bow earrings, this buffalo plaid skirt, and these SUPER CUTE booties.
Tuckernuck
Use code “BRIGHT” to take 20 percent off site-wide, 25 percent off orders over $500, and 30 percent off orders over $1,000. I love this leopard blouse; the famous faux fur vest; this very affordable, best-selling sweater; this one-size-fits-all fur jacket; this gorgeous leather tote that I’ve owned for years; this gold party clutch; this perfect tartan dress; this leather skirt; the brand’s signature leggings; this navy plaid tunic which I own; and this Vineyard Vines flannel.
L.L.Bean
Take 20 percent off your order with code “THANKS20.” (This includes Bean Boots!) My favorites include the warmest pair of Bean Boots, the classics, these slippers, and this vest. Oh, and every girl needs a good fisherman sweater!
Talbots
Take 40 percent off your entire order. (You can also take 50 percent off one item if you order before noon.) I’m obsessed with this entire outfit, and I love (and own) this long camel blazer, this scalloped cape, these ankle pants, these Noodle shoes, this long blackwatch plaid blazer, this tartan blazer, these tartan pants, this tartan puffer, and these tartan bow shoes. I also LOVE this velvet bow clutch.
Serena & Lily
Take 25 percent off your order with code “THANKFUL.” Above, I’ve included some favorites that we have in our home. (A LOT of our house is decked out in it!) I think I’m going to order this wreath, too!
eBay
eBay has a ton of amazing Black Friday deals going on. Surf around the site; I couldn’t believe how much stuff they had that was on Emma’s list, or that we’ve purchased in the past for full-price! Great savings.

Mitch here!
I’m handling this short little intro for the gift guides. ;) This Black Friday guide is divided up by category. I tried to categorize by gifting level so you can knock out that Christmas list today. Or just treat yo’self. ENJOY!
One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven / Eight / Nine / Ten / Eleven / Twelve / Thirteen / Fourteen / Fifteen
Highlight #2: I’m in love with Hand & Craft and their line of perfectly designed charging accessories. I guess I’m just sick of tripping over a pile of ugly extension cords and chargers at my desk. My personal favorite is the marble and gold Monument.
One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven / Eight / Nine / Ten / Eleven / Twelve / Thirteen / Fourteen / Fifteen / Sixteen / Seventeen / Eighteen / Nineteen / Twenty / Twenty-One / Twenty-Two / Twenty-Three / Twenty-Four / Twenty-Five / Twenty-Six / Twenty-Seven / Twenty-Eight / Twenty-Nine / Thirty
One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven / Eight / Nine / Ten / Eleven / Twelve / Thirteen / Fourteen / Fifteen / Sixteen / Seventeen / Eighteen / Nineteen
One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven / Eight / Nine / Ten / Eleven / Twelve / Thirteen / Fourteen / Fifteen / Sixteen / Seventeen / Eighteen / Nineteen / Twenty / Twenty-One / Twenty-Two / Twenty-Three / Twenty-Four / Twenty-Five / Twenty-Six / Twenty-Seven / Twenty-Eight / Twenty-Nine / Thirty / Thirty-One / Thirty-Two
Admittedly, I was thinking of Emma and Lucy when I put these together. I’ll do a far more intensive gift guide for kids + babies soon, and that’ll cover both genders and several age groups!
One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven / Eight / Nine / Ten / Eleven / Twelve / Thirteen / Fourteen / Fifteen / Sixteen / Seventeen / Eighteen / Nineteen / Twenty / Twenty-One / Twenty-Two / Twenty-Three / Twenty-Four / Twenty-Five / Twenty-Six / Twenty-Seven / Twenty-Eight
One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven / Eight / Nine / Ten / Eleven / Twelve / Thirteen / Fourteen / Fifteen / Sixteen / Seventeen / Eighteen / Nineteen / Twenty / Twenty-One / Twenty-Two / Twenty-Three / Twenty-Four / Twenty-Five / Twenty-Six / Twenty-Seven / Twenty-Eight / Twenty-Nine / Thirty
One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven / Eight / Nine / Ten / Eleven / Twelve / Thirteen / Fourteen / Fifteen / Sixteen
Highlight #11: If you’re close enough to gift someone boxers, I think these boxers are a steal. On a personal note, I wear Christmas themed boxers all year ’round so I plan to buy a few dozen of these to tide me over until next Black Friday.
One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven / Eight / Nine / Ten / Eleven / Twelve / Thirteen / Fourteen / Fifteen / Sixteen / Seventeen / Eighteen / Nineteen / Twenty / Twenty-One / Twenty-Two / Twenty-Three / Twenty-Four / Twenty-Five / Twenty-Six / Twenty-Seven / Twenty-Eight / Twenty-Nine / Thirty / Thirty-One
Highlights#4: I think Cathy’s Concepts might be the best place to shop for those supremely difficult names on your list. They recently launched a new website and we’re obsessed.
One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven / Eight / Nine / Ten / Eleven / Twelve / Thirteen / Fourteen / Fifteen / Sixteen / Seventeen / Eighteen / Nineteen / Twenty / Twenty-One / Twenty-Two / Twenty-Three / Twenty-Four / Twenty-Five
Highlight#24: A good beanie can make or break a winter and the Linus Beanie from Sh*t That I Knit is the best beanie I’ve ever owned. It’s warm and cool at the same time plus, and this really can’t be understated, Sh*t That I Knit is the best brand name of all time. Period.
One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven / Eight / Nine / Ten / Eleven / Twelve / Thirteen / Fourteen / Fifteen / Sixteen / Seventeen / Eighteen
Highlight #2: My mother-in-law gifted me this pair of Bean Boots exactly five years ago and I wear them daily this time of year. Giving away Bean Boots must run in the family ;)
One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven / Eight / Nine / Ten / Eleven
Highlight #5: I know some of this stuff is extremely splurgy, but Mark & Graham’s line of baseball leather products are the best. This is the kind of stuff that you have for decades and it looks better each time you use it. I use the baseball leather Dopp kit at home just to feel fancy.
Mitch. OUT!
