Black Friday Seems to Come Earlier Each Year: A Shopping Guide

Above: Exploring the streets of NYC.

Happy Thanksgiving; I hope yours was wonderful! This week, we’ve been enjoying the wonders of NYC (full recap post soon) and even though I am but a stone’s throw away from some of the best shopping in the world, I will also be indulging in some online orders to streamline the process.

For
the past few days, the web has been abuzz with a plethora of promotions
dedicated to the ineffable Black Friday shopping extravaganza; some have even already begun! 
Although some of us embrace the thrill of traditional shopping on the
27th–dense crowds and long lines can be marginally invigorating when
coupled with the thrill of the hunt–there is a certain sense of peace
in choosing one’s spoils from the comfort of a computer, ideally with a
frothy latte at arm’s reach.  


To
assist in savvy navigation of the sales, I have compiled a list of my
favorite retailers, replete with discount code details (where applicable) and my curated
choices:


DEPARTMENT STORES (Beauty + Fashion)

  • Nordstrom: Up to 40% off in all departments…I have my eye on the:
  • Bloomingdale’s (use code TURKEY for best savings)
    • Nespresso Lattissima Touch Espresso Maker...if
      you are a coffee lover, this is incredible, if you are one who cannot
      get enough frothy milk on your coffee, this is a MUST.  We bought ours
      from Bloomies last year and use it daily…the fact that is it $100 off
      simply cannot be ignored.  Ours makes us ridiculously happy.
