Black Friday 2015 Roundup

Some awesome greeting cards:

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration filled with yummy food and family. I definitely am in sweat pants mode after the huge meals we had today (pics of today’s meal prep and feast on my instagram!). I remember in college my best friend and I would rush over to our nearest malls and outlet centers at the stroke of midnight on Thanksgiving day and we would have crazy 16-hour shopping extravaganzas on Black Friday. Now that I’m older, I no longer have the energy to do that, and I’m so thankful today that most sales are online so I can shop in my pj’s in bed, with my belly full of turkey.

Nordstroms is one of my favorite retailers because it carries petite sizing and TINY shoes. I wear anything between 4-4.5 for flats and heels and size 5 for boots, so I can’t find shoes anywhere (save for kid’s shoes) except for Nordy’s and Nordstrom Rack. I was so happy to find that Nordstrom is doing a Black Friday extra 25% off select sale items today; now that my cart is full, I’m ready to share some of my finds with you! Everything I’m sharing is on extra 25% sale, so keep that in mind because the prices on the widget don’t reflect the extra discount.

Formal shoes: I’m really digging the Sam Edelman picks on sale today, from the scalloped flats to the pumps. Their gold metallic Orella pump faintly reminds me of the Jimmy Choo Agnes glitter pump. Speaking of Choos, there are also a ton of Jimmy Choo heels, wedges, and flats on extra 25% off today, so if you’re in the mood to splurge, now’s a good time.

I’ve also been coveting several boots and booties from this year’s collection and I’m glad I waited to pull the trigger because all my favorites are now an extra 25% off in the sale! The Tom’s desert wedge in taupe has been a winter staple since I purchased it at full price last year; they are super comfortable and I can walk all over the city in them without any trouble. There’s an adorable herringbone pattern available now which sold out like hotcakes last year, so I’d advise jumping on these if you’re in need of a good bootie. I also just ordered the Lucky ‘Raisa’ Moto bootie as well as the Franco Sarto Cita bootie to have booties that fit a more casual and formal look, respectively.
