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!

Tartan Curtains (Yes, I’m crazy. They came in a week! So cool.)

Here we go:

2019 Black Friday Sales

Outfit

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!)

2019 Black Friday Sales

Outfit

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.

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!

2019 Black Friday Sales

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.

gift guide for mom

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

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!

2019 Black Friday Sales

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.

2019 Black Friday Sales

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.

2019 Black Friday Sales

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 ;)

2019 Black Friday Sales

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!
