BLACK FRIDAY/CYBER MONDAY HOME SALES

The Steele Maiden: Holiday Decor Entryway

I didn’t plan on doing a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale post this year (I think it’s honestly fairly easy to find what stores are having sales and I really don’t want to encourage people buying a ton of things they don’t even need..) – but that being said I’m really in the market for things to keep furnishing the new apartment this year and there are some awesome home-related sales that I wanted to mention in case you’re looking to do the same thing. With 25% off my favorite source for rugs and 40% off one of my secret go-to spots for furniture, I thought it was worth posting about. Hope this helps you score a great discount on something you actually really need and will use/love this year.

ANTHROPOLOGIE: 30% off sitewide

I’ve been eyeing one of these mirrors for the bedroom for over a year now and 30% off is definitely the best price I’m going to get. I also love Anthro for stocking up on candles and vases and really special holiday decor.

LULU & GEORGIA: 25% off everything with code BESTEVER

This is my favorite source for beautiful, good quality rugs that don’t break the bank. I have this great faux cowhide rug that I love from them and am on the hunt for a pretty pattern for the living room. They’ve also got a really fun selection of wallpaper (this is a contender for the statement wall I want to do behind our bed).

WEST ELM: Buy more, save more sale up to 30% off with code SAVEMORE

This is a great time to grab bedding (like their belgian linen), lighting (this one is in our entryway) or big ticket furniture (this leather armchair has been on my apartment wish-list for easily like 4 years).

WORLD MARKET: 40% off furniture + free shipping over $49

World Market has been a secret source of mine for super affordable furniture now for years. Our old dining room table came from there and my current desk chair (still available in this pink color that would be so pretty in a nursery or as a fun accent) and both held up really well for the price. I love their selection of couches, end tables and headboards if you are looking for a good IKEA alternative.

TARGET: Up to 40% off home + extra 15% off furniture & rugs with code TURKEY

Target is another great design resource if you’re on a budget – they’ve got things that honestly look just like West Elm for a fraction of the price. My favorite floor lamp is from there and I can never resist their home decor.

 

HOLIDAY STYLE: RED BERET AND PLAID BLAZER

The Steele Maiden: Holiday Style - Red Beret, Plaid Blazer and White Midi Skirt

This outfit feels a little bit like if I was a 2018 version of Audrey Hepburn who split her time between Paris and the West Village. Which is basically my dream.

BEST OF: WINTER COATS

The Steele Maiden: Best of Winter Coats

Wait – where did Fall go? With last week’s unexpected snowstorm, winter feels like it is officially here. And that means you’re going to want to stock up on coats. Like, now. I almost always buy my winter coats for the season during Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales (50% off goes a long way on bigger ticket items!). So I thought I’d share my winter coat arsenal in case you want to plan to do the same.

2018 CHRISTMAS CARDS AND HOLIDAY PARTY INVITES

The Steele Maiden: Holiday Party Invitations with Basic Invite

Can you believe the holiday season is here?!? I’m still trying to wrap my head around it honestly, but choosing to embrace it regardless. Especially holiday party season. Our old apartment was not at all conducive to having friends or family over, but now that we’re in a different space that really lends itself to entertaining, I knew I wanted to get my act together enough to host a little holiday cocktail hour this season! This time of year always sneaks up on me, so I was thrilled when Basic Invite (an online resource with over 500 Christmas card and holiday party invitation options) reached out to give me the nudge to print my invites early.
