If you’re like I am, you avoid the insanity that is Black Friday shopping at all costs… In-person, at least.

I have a love/hate relationship with holiday shopping… And by that, I mean I love sales and hate traffic, crowds. Thus, I avoid it entirely and do all of my damage online.



Today’s post will be broken down two ways: (1) my Black Friday plan-of-attack and (2) a round-up of the web’s most shop-worthy sales.

Happy shopping — from the comfort of my couch to yours!

(1) MY BLACK FRIDAY PLAN OF ATTACK

I love shopping online (to my wallet’s dismay), but if I had to stick to a few sales this year, it’d be Nordstrom, Piperlime and Shopbop — hands down. All three have items for women and men — ranging in price from affordable to designer.

*Browse the Shopbop sale:
denim | boots | bags

PROMO CODE: GOBIG14 for up to 25% OFF

I’ll probably hit up Piperlime, too — everything is 25% off, including the sale section. Some items are already reduced up to 70% off! How cool is this moto jacket?

*Browse the Piperlime sale:
sweaters | shoes | olivia palermo’s picks

PROMO CODE: IHEARTNYC FOR 25% OFF

I’ll also be replenishing my NARS lip pencil obsession and tanning towelettes from Kate Somerville.

Oh, and just a tip: Nordstrom’s designer mark-downs are unbelievable this season. If I didn’t already have a Pashli, I would scoop this one up REALLY fast. That color is everything — and at 35% off?!

*Browse the Nordstrom sale:
clothing | beauty | home & gifts | designer collection

Okay. Next order of business: Grab your coffee, shake off yesterday’s turkey coma and let’s get to it.
