I'm Only Shopping at Sephora, Nordstrom, and Revolve This Black Friday—Here's My Buy List
It's finally here—almost. Yes, I'm talking about Black Friday aka the one day a year when shopping is priority number one. Whether you're eyeing a bigger TV, a fresh set of hotel-grade sheets, or fashion and beauty buys (my favorite categories), there will be a markdown waiting for you tomorrow when the post-Thanksgiving sale event kicks off. That being said, any regular Black Friday shoppers will tell you that you no longer have to wait until the big day to start checking off items on your wish list. Most retailers now offer deals up to a week ahead, so if you're not on cooking duty today, I thought I'd offer up an alternative way to pass the time: shopping.
I'm keeping Thanksgiving very low-key this year, so rather than crafting a beautiful feast, I'm spending my holiday snagging early Black Friday deals from my favorite stores—Sephora, Nordstrom, and Revolve. Yes, I'm sharing my best finds. There are blush sticks, candles, and perfumes as well as LBDs, jeans, and lots of knitwear. In other words, everything anyone style-minded could ever want is just a click away. Without further ado, scroll down for 36 must-see Black Friday deals from Revolve, Sephora, and Nordstrom.
Nordstrom
I stock up on Nordstrom's cashmere every Black Friday to give out as gifts. No one complains when they open cashmere during the holidays.
Layer this tee under the above sweater for a hyperstylized look.
If you want elegant shoes but hate heels, these slingback flats are perfect.
Good ankle boots are essential. It doesn't hurt, too, when they're only $81.
Whenever I don't know what to wear to a formal event, I throw on a black dress. It works every time.
Dark-wash jeans always look fancier and richer than light-wash pairs.
Sephora
Sunscreen is important 24/7 and 365 days a year, so when a really good option is on sale, it's best to stock up.
I know muskier scents are popular this time of year, but if florals are more up your alley, try this gorgeous rose-scented eau de parfum from Nette.
I swear by the NuFace. When I use mine regularly, it makes a huge difference.
With the new year just around the corner, my number one resolution is to finally make those life adjustments I've talked about for months and have yet to implement. First up is replacing my apartment's dingy showerhead with this filtered option.
Get that bronzy glow in the winter with this easy-to-blend contour stick from Nudestix.
Revolve
The sheer bottom of this dress makes it feel so cool and different.
