Current outfit as we speak: My Alice & Wonder holiday cocktail sweatshirt (20% OFF!) + HannaAndersson jammies! (50% OFF)
Happy Black Friday!
How was your Thanksgiving!? Ours was so nice–we came up to Neal’s parents lake house on Wednesday afternoon and have been here since! It’s been such a lovely, low-key (very needed) couple of days! June also just ASKED ME to take a nap–what kind of lottery have I won?!?
If you’re in the mood to do some shopping, you’re in the right place! (And If you need more gifting ideas, make sure to check out my Gift Guide for Her, For Him, and For Baby/Kids! Lots on sale from those guides!)
As always, please do not feel pressure to make a purchase using my links, but if you feel like doing so–THANK YOU! The commission I get from readers shopping through my affiliate links (at no cost to you, of course) makes up a big part of my income and contributes to my own bottom line. I know most people don’t think about this, but I am also a small, woman-owned business, so I can’t thank you enough for your support!
Now, let’s go!
Shop sales by retailer:
ABERCROMBIE:
25% off EVERYTHING. Here are my top Abercrombie picks:
Tuckable baby tee for layering: If you’re looking for a great, formfitting, stretchy and super soft tee (that comes in tons of color ways) this is my #1. The perfect thing to wear under sweaters, cardigans, etc. The black version is the perfect casual-dressy wardrobe essential, the white isn’t see through, and I love the striped version, too!
Soft matte seamless touchable tee and long-sleeve tee: on that note, I LOVE this version of these tees that are a great “going out top” LOL (I’m sorry, I know the term dates us, but what else am I supposed to use to describe it?!) They’re so soft, feel like a supportive hug, are so flattering and give you that bodysuit look without being a bodysuit. Come in lots of colors and are perfect for tucking into jeans or layering under blazers, cardigans, leather jackets, etc! TTS, I wear smalls.
Sloane trousers: You likely know this by now, but I LOVE these trousers and I own them in multiple colors. They are so cute and versatile–dress them up with ballet flats, loafers or heels, dress them down with sneakers.
Vintage NFL crewneck sweatshirts: If you’re an NFL team lover or you’re shopping for one, Abercrombie has super cute vintage graphic sweatshirts with every team! Would make a great gift.
AE/AERIE:
AE is 40% off sitewide!
If you want affordable loungewear, this is the place to shop! Don’t sleep on their leggings- most are on sale for $25 right now! My exact tried-and-true AE leggings have been discontinued but it looks like they have reimagined them with the “Offline Real Me” in several styles. identical to the Lululemon Align material without the price tag!) Their activewear comes in a ton of matching sets– bras, tops, jackets, sweatshirts too!
Their cozy loungewear looks amazing too- I’ve been eyeing this quarter-snap sweatshirt that comes in a bunch of colors!
ALICE & WONDER:
20% off sitewide, no code needed! Plus free shipping on orders $100. My wonderful friend Ali’s boutique (who made the VOTE tees in 2020!) My favorites are her Chicago tees and sweatshirts, but she has so many cute clothing and gift items and everything is around or under $100!
AMAZON:
Shop all their Cyber weekend deals on this page and will be continuously updated. Most notably the Dyson Air Wrap is majorly marked down (no idea how long this will last, it keeps going back and forth–so check back!) My favorite ribbed yoga cropped tank/bra (have loved these for years) and my Little Green Machine upholstery cleaner machine is a GREAT deal!
BONOBOS:
30% off site-wide! Neal loves pretty much everything they make and a massive chunk of his closet is Bonobos, so if you’re looking for stylish, not-too-expensive, but well-made clothing for men, look no further than Bonobos!
DUDLEY STEPHENS:
Up to 50% off! The best deal you’ll ever find on Dudley. I cannot shout louder about how amazing their fleece turtlenecks are for those with freezing winters. Have owned both the Cobble Hill and Park Slope (both 50% off!) in several colors for years now. They also recently came out with a new style called the Greenpoint which is in between the two in terms of length! They are seriously the warmest thing you can own if you live in a cold climate (along with the Old Navy fleece-lined jeans :-P) go with the Vello fleece–it’s the warmest. (Terry fleece is good for warmer climates!)
My favorites all linked in my Flagship storefront!
EQUILIBRIA
Up to 30% off, plus you can stack my code JESSKEYS on top for an extra 15% off! They have so many amazing products that have made such a difference for me in both the management of everyday stress and also falling asleep AND staying asleep!
They’ve expanded their product line so much outside of CBD too. Their daily CBD capsules and CBD Rapid sleep melts, and their Stress gummies are my favorites.
They also just launched a new brand called Tipsy (my same code JESSKEYS also gets you 15% off and note they won’t be running a Black Friday discount, but you do get a free pouch gift with purchase when you order through my link!) They are CBD products but with low-dose THC–they’re incredible and the perfect amount of subtle. (They give you the most relaxed buzz and the closest thing to describe it to is the feeling you have after you walk out of an incredible massage. SO RELAXED. But not a weird/out of it high.)
The Tipsy gummies and drink drops are both phenomenal if you are looking for a way to wind down and/or cut down on alcohol and don’t want to deal with going into a dispensary. (Buy them both together for a discount and get their pouch free as a gift with purchase when you enter my code JESSKEYS for 15% off and order through THIS link!!) For the record, I have bought the Earlybird gummies before and I like the way I feel with these a lot better!
ETSY:
Up to 60% off certain Etsy sellers! This is amazing! A lot of the items in my gift guide for her, for him, and babies and kids are from Etsy, so head there for favorites!
EVERLANE:
Up to 50% of almost everything! Eyeing this Alpaca Cocoon Crew and Merino Half Zip– both come in a bunch of colors! I have also owned their City Boots for a couple of years and they are FAB.
FREDA SALVADOR:
25% off everything! Such a great time to snag their incredible shoes at a discount! I can’t say enough good things about this woman-owned shoe brand- amazing quality! You all know how much I love my favorite white sneakers- the Eda– and my new water-resistant Brooke boots! (Amazing stylish winter boots, so comfy and SO LIGHTWEIGHT). I’m also eyeing these penny loafers and woven flats!
GAP & GAP FACTORY:
50% off sitewide at Gap! Always a great stop for pajamas, closet staples and kids/toddlers/baby clothes! Plus they have 60% off their matching sweat sets that come in a million colors!
Gap Factory has 50-70% off as well! Have to call out that Gap Factory’s CashSoft Collection sets would make the perfect holiday gift for any woman on your list (or yourself!) Looks so bougie without the price tag! Check out my set here! Now 60% off and come in a bunch of colors/styles!
HANNA ANDERSSON:
Everything is 50% off- including their beloved PJs!! The BEST jammies–especially if you’re looking for matching family pajamas for the holidays or cute baby PJs! I also love their soft everyday skater & t-shirt dresses for June.
J.CREW:
50%+ off sitewide! (So many markdowns! WOW!) I always recommend J.Crew for coats, so if you’re looking for a warm non-puffy winter coat, I can’t recommend the classic Lady Day coat enough! And of course, tissue turtlenecks! (They come in RIBBED now, have you seen them!?)
My fave metallic sneakers are 50% off! Love these! Really comfortable, TTS and they instantly jazz up any outfit. They do come in more neutral colorways if metallic isn’t your thing. If you’re looking for a pair of low-heeled, pointed toe boots, I love their Stevie boots.
If you’re searching for a great NICE gift for the woman who has everything, their cashmere wrap scarf is always a hit. Plus, they just came out with a whipstitch version and OMG it’s so beautiful.
I also really want a pair of their stratus pants!
MADEWELL:
50% off with code MADEBETTER! (I’m a huge fan of their totes– such great quality & I just got this cable-knit sweater in and can attest it’s SO cozy and so cute). And of course, the Court Sneakers that I’ve owned and loved for many years now.
MANGO:
Up to 50% off sitewide! Don’t sleep on Mango’s coats and jackets! I just picked up these loafers (LOVE) and this plaid scarf that are both on sale!
MARK AND GRAHAM:
Up to 70% off + free shipping on orders $100+! This is one of my favorite retailers for really nice, practical gifts (you can monogram everything too!)–especially great for gifts for parents and in-laws!
NORDSTROM:
Up to 60% off tons of items! Most notable markdowns right now: RAY BANS and Blondo (my favorite waterproof suede boots!) also my favorite moonlight pajamas and Barefoot dreams robe (BEST WARMEST ROBE ON EARTH, BAR NONE.) The new version of my tried-and-true Nordstrom budget-friendly waterproof chelsea boots are 40% off! (I don’t own this version- this has a higher heel, has great reviews & comes in 3 colors!)
OLD NAVY:
50% off site-wide! (Depending on the item!) They always have cute super duper affordable holiday PJ’s! I also often find some really cute baby clothes at Old Navy & their toddler and kids’ stuff are at amazing prices right now!
QUINCE:
I feel obligated to list that Quince is dropping different deals each day that are really good discounts BUT heads up — a lot of their daily deals are final sale. So unless it’s something you already own and you 100% know your size, and just want to get another color, etc the daily deals might not be a great fit, in my opinion. 😬 BUT I absolutely love Quince and have been pretty obsessed with everything I’ve ever bought from them, so do with that what you will LOL.
REFORMATION:
One of the best sales to shop this weekend in my opinion, because it’s the best sale they EVER RUN. To say I have an obsession with Reformation would be an understatement. Their tops are always a standby in my closet for date nights because they strike the perfect balance of sexy, unique, but still classy. (The ones I have I’ve owned for years and I still love them). Right now this top and this top are in my bag!
Also, all the dresses, especially for wedding guests and bridesmaids. The dress I wore to Whitney’s wedding (Black Tie Optional) is included!
SHOPBOP:
25% off sitewide with code HOLIDAY!
Perhaps most excitingly, lots of AGOLDE items are on sale, including my 90’s pinch-waist jeans. (I ordered my regular size. At first, I sized up but they were WAY too big.) Plus, Loeffler Randal is part of the sale–including my classic black-heeled booties. (Reviewed here!) You can also snag Clare V on sale (you know how much I rave about the Grande Fanny) as well as Freda Salvador shoes! (Including my favorite white sneakers of all time & my new favorite waterproof Brooke boots).
More Black Friday sale highlights:
(Including some things I own + love, what I have my eye on personally + other things!
Reformation tops: 25% off!
To say I have an obsession with Reformation would be an understatement. Their tops are always a standby in my closet for date nights because they strike the perfect balance of sexy, unique, but still classy. (The ones I have I’ve owned for years and I still love them). Right now this top and this top are in my bag!
Stratus pant: $119 (19% off)
Currently in my cart! I’ve been wanting a pair of pants just like this! These are a crinkle satin, pull-on pant that looks fancy but feels like PJ’s. The burgundy is perfect for the holidays but I also want a pair of the black (they seem like they’d be the perfect travel pants. Comfy enough for the plane, can be dressed down with sneakers for sightseeing but dressed up for a fancy dinner!) Will keep you posted on how I like these but they have amazing reviews!
Bombas slippers: 25% ($45)
Both Nordstrom and Bombas.com have 25% off right now! Obviously you know I love their socks but I also just got these slippers and OMG they are incredible! I love that they’re a bootie and that they have grips on the bottom and also you can just toss them in the washing machine and dry in the dryer!
Readers also rave about their Saturday slippers (also on sale!)
Madewell super soft collared cable knit sweater: 50% off with code MADEBETTER
I wore this for Thanksgiving last night!! SO SOFT AND COMFY! Love that it’s a more casual/modern take on a cable knit sweater with the collar. TTS, I took a small!
Everyone luxe merino half-zip: 30% off ($104)
Been eyeing this sweater for a long time. Comes in so many pretty colors and I love that it’s got the casual-factor of the half-zip but it looks luxe and elevated at the same time. 😍
Everlane washable silk button-up: 30% off ($105)
One of the longest-standing wardrobe essentials I own (or maybe THE oldest?) I can’t recommend this shirt enough. Wear it to the office, wear it for date night, it’s a pillar piece in any travel capsule wardrobe when you’re trying to be smart about the pieces you’re packing–it’s just an absolutely fantastic shirt. Worth it at full price, even better at 30% off.
Get $400 off accessories with the purchase of any RadioFlyer eBike: If you’ve been waiting for this bike to come back in stock, it’s back!! And they’re running a great gift with purchase!
Certainly a splurge item BUT I had to include the eBike that changed my life! June and I ride this everywhere, daily, and use it over my car as often as I can. Truly makes every outing better and I can’t say enough great things about this gem. It has a 30-50 mile battery range and you can customize accessories as needed — to have kids ride behind you, storage basket, etc. Can confidently say this is my most treasured material possession.
Chappywrap blankets: 20% off
The cutest blankets that come in tons of sizes: from baby blankets to king size blankets, throw blankets, and more. They’re a small mom and daughter-owned business and their blankets are so soft and the perfect weight but won’t make you overheat! Think similar weight to a Pendleton, but really soft and not scratchy! Make such a great gift. They have so many holiday styles too.
Maya perfume: 25% off
This is my favorite daily perfume that is so subtle but smells SO GOOD (if you love the Whole Foods Amber oil, think similar to that in its subtlety but it smells even better!)
People WILL stop you in public and ask what you’re wearing! It also smells a little different on everyone, so it’s kind of like your own signature scent.
Their “base” perfume is my go-to everyday. It can be worn on its own or layered with another perfume to make it more complex and incredible.
Their #1 perfume is what I wear in the summer (think beach) but I just realized (as I’m typing this) that they also came out with a #2 perfume that has rose and amber (OMG two of my favorites) I’ve never added something to my cart so fast!
Note: They make multiple sizes of their perfumes (even minis!) and also candles!
Samsung Frame TV + Etsy gold frame:
If you’ve been wanting a frame tv, now is the time to buy it! At first glance, Target and Amazon have varying pricing/availability depending on the model you want. (Worth comparing with Walmart too!)
If you already have a frame TV and have been wanting a cool frame (lol) to make it look like artwork (because ironically the frame it comes with still makes it look like a TV) we just purchased this vintage-looking gold frame from Etsy and it should be here any day.
I definitely should’ve waited for Black Friday pricing but oh well. It’s now 40% off–these frames are so expensive normally so it’s for sure worth ordering during BF! The seller has been so kind and responsive and went above and beyond to ensure I was ordering the right version for the model of TV I had, and got it shipped super quickly!
Gap Factory CashSoft Collection: 60% off!
If you want a bougie lounge set without the bougie price tag, these CashSoft lounge sweater sets are amazing (and 60% off right now! Both the top and bottom are under $30 each!) Come in a few different top styles- hoodie, cardigan, crewneck!
THE Amazon coat: 45% off ($82!)
The most budget-friendly SUPER warm winter coat. The best part is that it expands at the sides so it’s perfect for moms so you can wear your baby and zip them up inside! (Great for pregnancy too!) I reviewed it in detail in this blog post.
PuzzleFolk puzzle: 30% off! ($20 per puzzle!)
For my puzzle people who want to support a small biz, PuzzleFolk is the cutest brand! They have so many different puzzles (truly something for everyone!) with the cutest illustrations. Would make a very fun gift!
Blondo waterproof boots:
One of my most brands (and most- loved reader brands!) from over the years. I haven’t bought any new pairs this year so can’t comment on individual styles personally, but Nordstrom has SO MANY Blondo styles marked down (that I’ve never seen before!) This pair is very similar to a pair I love, just a slightly higher heel!
You don’t need to do anything to do them–you just wear them straight out of the box and they’re waterproof! You can wear them through the rain and sleet and slush without worry–they have tread AND are BEAUTIFUL (which I think we can all agree can be a rare combo when it comes to true winter boots!) Shop them all on sale at Nordstrom.
Loeffler Randall Elise Booties: 25% off with code HOLIDAY
One of my favorite pairs of “dressy” booties. These are comfortable, the heel isn’t too high, and they’re super sleek so they look great with all kinds of pants straight leg, wide leg, cropped or not!) Note: I believe they might be cheaper on the brand site, but they’re final sale. That’s not a risk I would take because LF sizing can be notoriously tricky! I took my regular size in these, but sizing is so personal!
Madewell Court Sneakers: 40% off!
Some of the most comfortable white sneakers! My go-to “all purpose” casual white sneakers especially in cooler/bad weather. They are made of sturdy leather that wipes off easily and is naturally quite water resistant, so I don’t ever worry too much if I get caught in the rain or if there is a puddle here or there on the ground. TTS!
Clare V Grande Fanny:
My #1 most worn, most-loved everyday purse. (Shopbop has the woven cream for 25% off, more colors 20% off on the brand website.) The colors are going quickly though so don’t wait! (Don’t forget their amazing interchangeable bag straps to go with!!)
This bag is a splurge, but the cost per wear is pennies (for me!) It makes every outfit way more fun, a great size (fits enough for a “mom” bag but not too big and stays out of the way!) and I love how it lays very flat so you hardly ever feel it on you. You can also purchase different straps/accessories to change up the look/make it even more versatile. See it styled in this post!
Rey to Z Hats 25% off:
The cutest hats for anyone on your list! Come in adult, kid and toddler sizes! Such a great personalized gift! Come in a bunch of colors and a great way to support a small, mom-owned local biz!
Delsey 21″ carry-on suitcase: 28% off! (Under $200!)
My go-to suitcases for years now. I’ve owned it in white for a long time, but Neal has the brown, and while it’s a VERY durable option for a white suitcase (it’s so cuteee 😬) the brown is for sure more practical if I’m comparing how worn they look through the years. (Or maybe it has to do with the fact that Neal is at type A person and I am a walking tornado and they have been cared for quite differently 🫠). My white one has been officially beaten to hell and I just ordered a new one (this time in brown, because I’m old and practical now). They also have a 24″ checked luggage size (which I also own and am obsessed with).
Amazon Fleece-Lined Leggings: on sale for $27!
The perfect gift for friends on your list who live anywhere COLD- trust! These are really comfortable and warm for cold winter days. They come in a bunch of colors and you can get them with or without side pockets! I wear these so much in the winter. Not TOO thick that they make your legs look weird and warm enough to keep the chill out but also don’t make you overheat outside!
True & Co Wireless Bra:
My FAVORITE wireless bra. Nothing tops it–NADA! I even bought 3 new ones at full price (as I needed to size up) when I was pregnant because they were THAT good. Feel like butter–have removable light pads (which is key). They run TTS. Buy more than one, you’ll be thankful! Amazon has certain colors as low as $25 right now. (Nearly half off!) Also available (and on sale) at Nordstrom.
Amazon Sports Bra/Yoga Tank ($17):
Love these! Come in a bunch of colors and really comfortable!
Amazon Ribbed Cropped Sports Bra ($17!):
Another great Amazon bra find! Comes in several colors- great for low-intensity workouts, lounging around the house, styling under button-ups, etc.
J.Crew Tissue Turtleneck Tee: HALF OFF ($20!)
Another OG bestseller–I couldn’t get through winter without these turtleneck tees! Super thin, the perfect base layer. I own so many colors. Runs TTS. If you want more of a really tight “bodysuit” type look, size down.
New ribbed pointelle tissue turtleneck: $34-39
I mean 😍 SO GOOD. FYI, a reader mentioned to me that these are, in fact, fab, but note they are thicker than the other tissue turtlenecks! Come in this cute stripe as well as solids! (This stripe is in my cart, obvi!)
Hanna Anderson Matching Family Pajamas 50% off!!!
The best quality and prints! Snag styles for everyone in your family — babies, toddlers, kids & adults!
Hands down my favorite new pajamas this year are Hanna Andersson’s “HannaSoft” women’s jammies. Super breathable, stretchy, and temperature regulating so you don’t overheat at night! Come in so many cute festive colorways. (Think very similar to the OG Nordstrom Moonlight PJ’s) 50% off right now through Cyber Monday!
T3 Products: 30% off!
My favorite T3 items are on sale! My trusty curling iron (comes with multiple barrels) and holds curl better (and curls faster) than any curling iron I’ve ever used. Have also loved and used their hairdryer forever (it’s so lightweight and dries quickly!) and their straightener is great too!
J.Crew Metallic Sneakers: ($54!)
Picked these up this summer and couldn’t love them more. They are SUPER comfortable right out of the box–no rubbing–I wore them all over London! I love how much they dress up an outfit! Would be so fun and festive for the holidays too! TTS. Currently 54% off!!!
