Black Friday Deals | 2014

If you’re anything like me, you like to have a game plan going into black friday. My main priority is finding out what deal everyone is offering and how long the deal lasts. Next, I scout out what I want to buy before the deals start, that way I can shop around for the best price. Finally, I like to write out a list of people I plan on buying presents for and potential gift ideas for them. That way they are fresh in your mind when you are browsing the sales!

In honor of black friday, today’s post is dedicated to the deals I think are worth checking out this black friday!

Rag & Bone Booties for Less

Rag & Bone booties continue to be some of the most coveted boots season after season. I love the look of them, but the price ($525) makes them more of an investment than what I’m looking to spend on boots.

That’s why I put together the below list of reasonably priced alternatives. The prices range from $35-$78 and they all give the similar look of the rag & bone harrow boot, but with different silhouettes so there’s something for everyone! The options range from peep toe, flats and extreme deals (under $50!). Which one is your favorite?

Black & White- the perfect pair

Black & White- it’s simple, chic and everywhere this season! This color combo is both classic and trendy at the same time. Wanna know the best part? I’m sure you can find this trend hiding in your closet already!

There are tons of ways to interpret this trend, colorblocking, graphic prints, solids, stripes, etc., each looking just as stylish as the last one. I think my favorite part of this trend is the individuality it offers. I know that seems counterintuitive since it follows pretty strict color code, but you can still put your own spin on it! It’s easy to infuse it into your office wear, lounge gear or date night outfits. Dress it up or down. Wear prints or solids. Whatever you do, have fun with it!

Fringe by the Bay

Glamourita Denim Vest by the Bay

Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping and the sun is shining! San Francisco weather has been unusually warm and I have been taking advantage of it. Any chance my husband and I get, we take a trip to a park or beach. In this case we walked up to the pier and spent the day at Ghiradelli Square. We love to bring a book, some snacks and hang out and enjoy the weather. Often times we will take the scenic route back and stop for dessert along the way. It’s a great, relaxing way to spend the day outside together.

On this beautiful day by the bay, I chose to go for the boho chic look. I paired this vintage shift dress back to my go-to Levi’s denim vest. I brought the whole look together with this super fun ALDO Fringed Crossbody and beaded sandals. This outfit was the perfect laid-back look to spend the day lounging beachside. Do you have plans to go to the beach soon? If so, what’s on your packing list?

Simply Scalloped

I admit it, I’m a sucker for a scalloped trim. There is just something very feminine and sweet about it and a scalloped trim can transform any outfit. It makes shorts more elegant, tops and dresses more playful and adds a little bit of whimsy to accessories. I see this trend popping up everywhere this season, even in some unexpected places!  Check out some of my favorite scallop trimmed pieces below!

Feeling Daring? Splurge for the red ASOS Open Back Dress.  This dress is a showstopper and would make a great outfit for date night! Feeling playful? Snag the yellow ASOS Clutch. It’s a great way to introduce the scalloped trend into your wardrobe. Or are you feeling just plain practical? If so, the kate spade iPhone case is the way to go! The scalloped trim even doubles as a credit card and ID holder. As you can see, there are tons of different ways to rock this scalloped trend this season, which will you choose?
