Okay girls.
This is it.
Today is The Day.
I've been behind the scenes preparing the blog for this day for over a week.
It's Black Friday and it's time to SHOP OUR FACES OFF. WooHoo! :)
So, I have some steps for you to follow to ensure Black Friday success:
1)
GET SERIOUS.
2)
Get your credits cards out.
3)
Remember to breathe.
4)
Repeat after me....
"It's not about spending money, it's about saving money."
I felt like the GIRL MATH mentioned above deserved a graphic.
And all of the ladies said "Amen".
And some of the husbands might have just rolled their eyes.
But we don't care about that today,
BECAUSE IT'S BLACK FRIDAY AND THEIR ARE DEALS TO BE HAD GIRLS!
Anyhoo...
I did LOTS to prepare for this day, so I hope all of my pictures and picks help you.
Thanks for coming by and shopping with me!
Shopping is SO much more fun with girlfriends! :)
LETS! GET! STARTED!
I think it's only fair that we kick today off with MY shopping mecca.
That's right, we are starting off at Nordstrom ladies.
(And look how festive my graphic is.)
Nov 28th 10:00 p.m. PST - Nov 29th 10:00 p.m. PST
33% off on select brands, and other new reductions site wide
No code needed
(I wasn't able to see all of the sales before leaving town, but I have highlighted a few.)
Click HERE to shop the entire Nordstrom site.
Deals will be featured across categories from women's apparel to kid's shoes and beauty to handbags. Find top brands like UGG, New Balance, Kate Spade, Tory Burch, Vince Camuto, Eileen Fisher, Estee Lauder, TopShop, and more!
There will also be lots of beauty special sets,
like THIS one from Bobbi Brown.
This would be soooo fun to get or give for Christmas!
And I did some digging around on the site and found some things that we've talked about previously that are now on sale for 40% off!
The below 3 colors of this tunic are included in the sale. Click HERE.
The Amber Sun version of this tunic (with faux leather accents) is also 40% off HERE.
I KNOW that YOU want this, and the ladies in your life do too!
I really liked the red stripe when I tried it on!
Red Rhode/Black Stripe HERE
(This is a medium because they didn't have the large stripes in a small. I prefer the small on me, but if you like a bit more room, order a size up!)
I really liked this Caslon military jacket HERE (that comes in both army green and black).
Keep in mind that due to the material, it's really more of an outside jacket than one you would wear all day. But, if you're looking for real outerwear, this is a great choice...and at 40% off it's a great deal! I really like the black one too.
And I've never featured this, but I saw it at 40% off and was INTRIGUED!
Click on the link HERE and look at the different colors to see how it can be styled differently.
And check out this pink puffer. SO flipping cute. What a great gift to give!
It's Betsey Johnson, and it's 50% off now making it under $50!!!!
Click HERE.
And the new Ecco Hobart boot is now 25% off.
Are you dying over all the buckles? Because I am.
Click HERE for this boot that comes in brown and black.
And you know I had to mention my WEDGE BOOTS again now that they are
back in stock and 40% off.
Listen to Ryan. He is wise beyond his years.
Click HERE for the boots!
Before the disappear again!!!
Lots of Michael Kors bags just went 40% off! Click HERE!
Some MK watches went 40% off too! Click HERE.
Look at this pink one HERE!
SO FUN!!!
And my Ellen flats just went on sale too!!!!!!
Click HERE.
(I think these were $78 when I purchased them originally, so the new price means that they are 33% off!)
Click HERE for all colors of the Ellen flat on sale (including cognac!)!
Marc by Marc Jacobs line on sale HERE with lots of bags and wallets included!
I love the small neutral cross body HERE.
Click HERE for this Rebecca Minkoff cross body that is 40% off!
I'm thinking it is going to be WELL WORTH your time to just spend a little time clicking around on the Nordstrom site. WHO KNOWS what you mind find on sale!?!
Click HERE to shop the entire Nordstrom site.
***************************************************
GAP
I didn't know sale specifics before leaving town, so just click on the links below and cross your fingers they are on sale. I imagine that EVERYTHING is going to be on sale for a certain % off with a code. (And rumor has it that it was possibly going to be as much as 40% to MAYBE even 50% off!)
Click HERE to shop the entire sale.
Click HERE for the softest t-shirt ever.
Click HERE for the moto jacket that is so cool!
Click HERE for the classic light blue menswear inspired pajamas.
Click HERE for all pajamas and HERE here THE SOFTEST henley ever.
GAP is great for Christmas gifts. Just go to the site and get the deals!!!!
Click HERE to shop the entire sale.
****************************************************
Next up, my newest obsession.
Black Friday the entire Anthropologie site will be 20% off, no code is required. Anthropologie rarely has a sitewide sale (almost never), so I think this is just about as good as it gets.
And if I'm not mistaken....it's even an additional 20% off items that are already on sale (which includes several items
I've highlighted below).
This sale is valid Friday only.
Click HERE to shop Anthropologie.
And from what I hear, these items will FLY off the shelves (if they haven't already). So, act swiftly if you want something. My friends that always shop at Anthropologie tell me that pretty much everything will be gone within a couple of hours.
Let's start off with the Elora tunic HERE.
It was marked down from $78 to $49 on Wednesday, and I think it still qualifies for the additional 20% off. (Although I'm not totally sure about that. Good luck!)
Already sold out. Sorry!
And look at the Satine top HERE.
It's not long enough for leggings, but it's great for skinny jeans, and I love the lace insets on the sides. Make sure you click the link to see the back of the top!
I am wearing a medium.
And I found a t-shirt that I am TOTALLY loving!
It's already on sale, so I hope the additional 20% will apply!
This shirt will be PERFECT with leggings under a long cardigan! There are 4 colors available, and I got it in black and red.
Click HERE for the short sleeved t-shirt that is long enough for leggings.
I am wearing a medium.
And look at this DARLING sweatshirt jacket HERE.
ALMOST sold out.
Sold out.
Other great picks:
a) crocheted heirloom pullover HERE
This top is greatness. Click on the link to see the nice detailing!
b) lace divide tee HERE (great with legggings! obviously!)
c) Essential Henley HERE
d) Ansonia pullover HERE
e) Mitzie tunic HERE
Also great with leggings!
f) Guru Zip Up HERE
Click HERE for the denim tunic.
Love the color, Love the collar, Love the one pocket, Love the round edges on the bottom.
Love it all.
I know lots of you love the denim and legging look together (as do I), and this is a perfect pairing!
For size reference, I'm wearing a medium.
A reader told me that she has searched her "entire life" for the perfect denim tunic and after this one arrived (at the sorority house mind you) she "knew her search was over".
Thanks Allie for letting me know! I'm so happy to know that your life long search is over! :)
And I've got one more thing to show you from Anthropologie.
Click HERE for the henley that spoke to me.
This shirt doesn't require any accessories, and I love all of the color combos available, but this grey and pink is my favorite. I'm wearing a medium.
Isn't it pretty?
I'm wearing it her with my MUST HAVE distressed skinny jeans (similar pair, just a little bit darker HERE) and my cognac wedge boots HERE.
And this next one kind of makes me want to scream because I love it that much.
Click HERE.
Do you think it would be long enough to be worn with leggings and a cardigan?
I think I might have to try it out.
I feel like I owe it to my leggings to at least try.

Click HERE to shop LOFT.
I'm going to post some of my favorites from my Wednesday post again.
So, if you want to see more picks of me in the LOFT stuff, click HERE.
I LOVE this sweater. I love it so much I got it for myself.
It's going to look great on it's own, but it will also look great under blazers and military jackets.
I think it's festive for the holiday season, but I would have no problem wearing it ay time of year.
Click HERE for the striped sweater.
Click HERE for the purple lace embellished tee (same as the red one above).
Click HERE for the polka dot puffer vest.
I'm not normally a puffer vest girl, but I'm loving this one!!!! I'm for sure loving it at 40% off!
Sweatshirts are ALL THE RAGE right now, and here are a couple of great ones!
Click HERE for pearlized gem sweatshirt. Click HERE for mini polka dot sweatshirt.
Okay, time for some holiday wear now, but I want to give you a peek into my mind.
I HAVE A CHRISTMAS PARTY TO GO TO!
YEAH! SO MUCH FUN.
Okay, WAIT.
What the heck am I going to wear?
Does anybody else feel the exact same way?
Well, I have lots of tops highlighted today that would be perfect for a party!
Depending on the party will depend on what you should pair the tops with.
I actually loved all of the tops with the distressed skinny jeans and tall boots.
So, jeans are an option if you have a casual party where just a festive top would be perfect!
Otherwise, you could pair them with nice pants, a pencil skirt, a fancy short skirt...whatever!
This first one is my favorite.
I cannot tell you guys how much I loved this shirt, but I will try.
I loved it so SO much.
The red is a PERFECT red. The lace is VERY pretty. The scalloped edges are GORGEOUS.
And it SCREAMS "CHRISTMAS PARTY!!!!!"
(It also screams "I'm not just good for a Christmas party! I'd be good for regular night out too! Or for a Christmas Eve service at church!" This shirt has a lot to say.)
I bet this is going to go fast.
Click HERE for red scalloped lace embroidered tee.
I was wearing a medium.
Click HERE for tapesty jacquard peplum blouse and HERE for tipped tweed jacket.
I really REALLY loved these next 2 things. And I think they are both items that would be great staples to always have in your closet.
Again, click HERE if you want to see some other items I tried on during my last LOFT trip.

After all, shopping is my cardio.

I get that online shopping probably isn't considered cardio to most...
BUT I PROMISE YOU MY HEART RATE WAS ELEVATED.
Yes Ma'm.
I feel QUITE sure I worked off the dressing.....
and the pie....
and the mashed potato casserole....
and my Aunt Katie's rolls.
I hope you girls snagged some AMAZING deals and have a wonderful and relaxing weekend with friends and family this weekend.
REMEMBER YOUR BLESSINGS!
xoxo,
Sheaffer :)
p.s.
And remember that Monday I start a 12 Day series with Shay.
