BEST OF: BLACK FRIDAY SALES

HolidayGiftGuide

As we move from Thanksgiving into the true holiday season, I’m feeling extra thankful for all the big and little blessings I’ve got in my life. From life in New York to having Adam as my partner in this venture (and life), traveling the world, my friends, family and career.. and of course you all! Whether you’ve followed from the beginning or just stop in from time to time – this little corner of the internet means the world to me. So thank you. And one of my favorite way to say thanks to those that are near and dear to me is by finding them a perfectly fitting present. So without further ado – I bring you the best of the internets Black Friday sales. I’ll be updating throughout the weekend and if you really want to make a strong game plan I suggest you check out my Gift Guide for Her, Him and the Hostess first before then perusing the sale options below. Happy shopping and enjoy your long weekend!

BEST OF: FALL SALES

Fall Sale Instagram Round Up

As I’m writing this I’m curled up by the fire at my parent’s house in PA. Which basically is the very coziest way to spend a Sunday. Another good way to spend the afternoon? Online shopping. There are some killer sales happening right now which is perfectly timed since the weather looks like we’ll be saying goodbye to bare legs and light jackets very soon. Below a few of my favorites..

(Photo 1, Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6)

Anthropologie – Sales are few and far between here, but this weekend they’re offering 20% off all full-priced apparel w/ code FALLFUN. I’m wearing this dark orange turtleneck in photo 4 above and am obsessing over this vest.

French Connection – Save 30% off all coats and jackets with code FC30CJ – I wear this denim jacket (in photos 3 and 5) constantly and swear I’m going to finally pull the trigger on this leather moto jacket today.

LOFT – 40% off sweaters and tops – this slouchy sweater would get a ton of wear and I love the mixed print on this top.

J.Crew – 30% off outerwear, sweaters, shirts and t-shirts w/ code LAYERUP – now would be a great time to purchase a winter coat like this one or this one.

Ruche –  Extra 40% off sale items with code EXTRA40 – I’m loving this marigold color for Fall and this floral dress would be so pretty paired with tights and a berry lipstick.

Nine West – 40% off select fall styles – these black pointy toe boots add instant chic (shown in photo 6) and these Chelsea boots are a total wardrobe classic.

Madewell – Extra 40% off sale items with code EXTRA40 – this cardigan (shown in photo 1) is a total steal and I’ve worn it at least once a week since picking it up and this plaid scarf would add a cozy touch to any outfit.

Talbots – 30-40% off select fall styles – I’ve been loving this teal slouchy sweater paired with this paisley scarf and this quilted cross-body bag (shown in photo 2) has been a favorite of mine so far this Fall.

SUMMER ROUND-UP & BEST OF LABOR DAY SALES

The Steele Maiden: Best of Summer

The interesting side effect of having a blog is that you also end up having a sort of visual diary of your life. A way to scroll back through nearly every week of my life for the past 3 years. I particularly like to do this at the end of each season to reminisce through where Adam and I went, and naturally, what I wore. Above are some of my favorites and original posts are linked left to right, below. And because another thing I like to do at the transition into a new season is shopping – I’ve included a few of my favorite Labor Day sales too. Hope you’re all having a fun long weekend!
