The Scoop on Black Friday...

Happy Thanksgiving, my dears! I'm a little delirious from prepping cooking + putting together this one-stop shopping post for the best Black Friday sales, but I'm looking forward to sleeping in a little, drinking the bottle of Sancerre I found today, and eating my heart out at dinner.

So I'm not a big fan of stores being open on Thanksgiving day, but a lot of online retailers are starting their Black Friday promos today and hey, that doesn't hurt anyone (or too many people…). And you can shop on your phone under the table while your crazy aunt or uncle is going on and on at dinner. Here's a roundup of some lingerie sales (and sales on sites that sell lingerie… and also some of my favorite clothes in general), and a few choice items from each. There are some great Cyber Monday deals a-comin' too, so check back Monday morning to see what those are.

[Ed. Note: The following list has been edited to reflect latest sales & expired deals as of 11/30/14.]

EBERJEY
20% off online (and in stores) through Monday with code GETCOZY. Love these bralets and adore the star print on all the Starry Eyed pieces. The Paloma pieces are a great choice for bridal shower gifts too, by the way. Left to right: Paloma Bralet, Starry Eyed Dolman Top, Emilia Bralet.


COSABELLA
40% off with code BLACKFRIDAY on a selection of items ranging from slips, camis, shorts & soft bras. My favorites: The Lily Soft Bra & The Mercedes Underwire Bra.


AERIE
40% off everything with code GOBBLEUP. Also, their super-cute and festive PJs are buy one get one free, and undies are 10 for $30… which is pretty insane. I love these mini-boyshorts—they're pretty similar to the lace tanga style that I loved two years ago. Check out these too: Waffle Sleep Leggings, Flannel Pajama Pants (with polar bears!), and the Skinny Joggers (I got a pair of these and have been living in them this weekend).

2014 Holiday Wish List

Happy Thanksgiving Eve, y'all! I think November flew by too fast. I remember feeling like Thanksgiving was sooo far away and now, it's here. Well,  it's here tomorrow. So while I'm cooking all day and night, here's my holiday wish list for this year because you really, really wanted to know... right?

1. Two lingerie sets, one from La Perla Studio and one from L'Agent by Agent Provocateur
If you're a regular reader (or follow me on Pinterest), you'll know how much I'm loving La Perla Studio for everyday lingerie. Love the pink accents on this otherwise neutral Anemone set, and I'm really loving how super-pretty this Clementina set looks. I have a pretty basic (not that kind of basic) everyday wardrobe, so I love the idea of knowing that I'm wearing lingerie that's this beautiful under a solid crewneck cashmere sweater. And let's be honest—of course there are more than two lingerie sets on my real wishlist, but these two are the ones I want right now. Like right now.



2. This sick Acne Studios Velocite Shearling Jacket in Black
Sick. So sick. I've been obsessing over this coat for the past few years, and haven't had the guts to just go and buy it yet (hi hefty price tag). But I'm thinking that if this polar vortex is going to keep coming to hit NYC every winter, then I miiiight be able to justify it. But I'm not sure yet. Either way, I'm super excited that Acne Studios came out with an all-black one this year and in lambskin leather at that. I love the suede versions but I feel like the leather is safer, no?


3. Delicate jewels from my favorite Vale Jewelry
I probably visit Vale's site at least 3-4 times a week and just repeatedly look at the same jewels over and over again. I went to their trunk show a couple of weeks ago and tried on almost every ring they have, as well as the Diamond Slice necklace and it was surprisingly gorgeous. So these three are topping my jewelry wishlist right now—all in rose gold, of course. (Also on my jewelry wishlist is a piece of Chanel Fine Jewelry that I'm just going to keep to myself for now...).


Glam it up for not a lot of bucks. Love the chunky, oversized shape of these sunglasses, especially in this iridescent shell tortoise. These are great for everyday sunnies, and the darker grey-ish palette makes them fab even in the winter.


You're probably noticing a pattern by now (black, textures, fleece/shearling). I'm a woman of simple, albeit expensive, tastes. At least I own up to it. Anyway, most of the time when it's freezing out, the heat turns on in my apartment to a degree that I can't control and I'm sitting here in a tank top and shorts sweating profusely. Then there are times when it is just as cold inside as it is outdoors, but the heat doesn't come on because the temperatures haven't dipped below 35. Those times are when I'd love this cozy-looking robe.
