Polka Dot PJs (40% off!), Initial Mug (great gifts & 30% off!), Kitchen towels (less than $7)

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you are enjoying delicious food and heartfelt company. Even though I did a story on how to be a Shopping Assassin for WTKR News 3, I’ll be staying in this Black Friday. I’m anchoring the 11pm newscast and I enjoy sleep too much. Besides, there are plenty of awesome sales you can shop from home in your comfy PJs. I’m rounding up the Best Black Friday 2016 Sales for you below. I’m incorporating my picks for guys too, so you can check off buying gifts! Black Friday is one of the best times to buy apparel since there are the deepest discounts. You can click directly on the item to shop. Happy Shopping!

50% off sitewide w/ code CELEBRATE. I love AT sweaters. As you may know, I adore last year’s peplum sweater and this year’s version comes with feminine bell sleeves available in great colors, including blush. If you want something festive, this crystal-embellished collar sweater is perfect for work and parties. Also, this cable stitch sweater looks uber cozy. There’s a beautiful gray wrap coat and plenty of great work dresses, including this ponte sheath I love, too.

30% off everything w/ code LETSGO. These initial mugs are my go-to for gifts. I get the gold for women and the black for men. 30% is a deep discount for Anthro, so I highly recommend using this time to get bigger items. My rivulets bedding is a feminine classic and perfect for all seasons. This romantic lace dress is one of my favorites (seen on me here) and comes in black, too. I styled this crinkled velvet dress earlier here and love it for holiday parties. Other clothing notables include a cozy tunic dress, balloon sleeve sweater (in petite sizing too with five colors) and wool long vest. I own and love this embossed trim dinner collection. Also, this Hello Lovely marble serving board is so charming. The Capri Blue Volcano scent is my absolute favorite. I use both the diffuser and candle.

30% off everything w/ code THANKFUL30. If you’re looking for a holiday party look, Asos is where you need to go. This year’s version of my favorite holiday dress comes in a lush burgundy. It continues to be a huge hit whenever I wear it during the holiday season. I also love this velvet off the shoulder dress. This red dress looks very similar to one made by the much more expensive self portrait brand. For brides out there, Asos has fantastic dresses for showers and rehearsal dinners. I love this whimsical one, off-the-shoulder bardot dress and high-neck lace dress.

30% off sitewide w/ code THANKS30 plus free shipping + returns. I am a big fan of these tassel earrings. The color goes with everything and they are so fun. I just got these festive red ones and I can’t wait to wear them to holiday parties. This sale is a great time to snatch up pricier pieces like this statement bib, moon-rock earrings, and pave link bracelets.

50% off + free shipping. I am very impressed with Express. There are tons of great winter looks. This trapeze dress caught my eye and comes in three colors, too. Sweater dresses are cold weather essentials and I like the pleats on this one. I love this mock-neck lace top for tucking into pants or skirts fo fancy occasions. While I don’t own this crochet midi skirt, I’m thinking about getting it since it looks so elongating. There are plenty of cold-weather accessories worth getting too. A buffalo-check reversible scarf, pom beanie and white plaid blanket scarf are among my must-have picks.
Also, if you are looking for gifts for the guys in your life, there are some great suits in a variety of fits. The modern cut suit is roomier in the arms and torso. I plan on having Johnny try this out and see if it’s comparable to the Crosby. Johnny is a fan of this flannel shirt, so I’ll probably snatch it up during the sale. Plus, this shawl-collar sweater would be a versatile piece in any man’s closet.

40% off online and in store, which is unheard of w/ code HOLIDAY. Don’t forget J.Crew has plenty of their pieces available in 000 and petite xxxs, so this is great for those who always have to alter clothes. I’ve never seen these pieces at these prices before, so they are definitely some of the best black friday 2016 sales. I get my favorite cashmere pieces from J.Crew and these shells are my winter must haves. I wear them under everything and they keep me so warm. This v-neck cashmere sweater is a classic and comes in so many colors. I don’t personally own this puffer coat, but I’ve heard so many great things about how warm it is. Another coat I’m eyeing is this wool belted trench. My lady day coat with thinsulate is a winter must-have. This ponte dress for work is at a great price, too. Don’t forget, J.Crew’s PJs are super festive and at 40% off would make fantastic gifts. The polka-dot set I’m wearing above are some of my favs from this season.
For guys, this is the time to get cashmere sweaters for 40% off! These thermal henleys look like great basics and so comfy. Don’t forget, J.Crew makes a great suit for guys with a bigger athletic build, which is included in the sale. To go with the suit or for dressy occasions, this shirt is a must-have because it’s wrinkle free.

Extra 20% select sale styles. Items go so quickly during any of Nordstrom’s sales. I highly recommend going to their sale page and filtering by category. A couple notable Stuart Weitzman boots are on sale. I like these and my booties I’ve been wearing are on sale too! Among my favs are the faux leather jacket, ankle booties (comfy, affordable and in 5 colors), suede over-the-knee boots (getting these in burgundy!) crepe bow-neck dress (I snatched this up during the anniversary sale, highly recommend), lace bralette, black jeans and lace ombre dress. Lots of sale items would make great gifts too, including the red crossbody, Kendra Scott earrings and more. For guys, there are watches, Johnny’s favorite wingtips are less than $130 and this great duffel bag for the jet setter.

The Best Black Friday 2016 sales aren’t just limited to these stores. There are also some great items at deep discounts. My favorite leggings ever (seen on me here) are 50% off and come in petite, regular and tall sizing in seven colors. Get 25% off all T3 Micro products w/ code T3CYBER16, 30% if you spend 250+ at Tory Burch w/ code THANKS and Shopbop is having a stacked sale based on how much you spend with code GOBIG16. I’m also linking a few knick knacks below, including Christmas decor! Whew! I hope you enjoyed my roundup of the Best Black Friday 2016 sales and you score some great deals out there on not only yourself, but some gifts for others as well! Remember, many sizes sell out quick, so if you see something you love, add it to your bag and check out or you could risk losing it.
