Happy holidays and greetings from Philly where I’m visiting my family until Thanksgiving day. I feel fortunate that I got to spend time with my family this year and I’ll also have time to see my husband’s family. I’ll be flying back to be with his family on Thanksgiving and couldn’t believe that I managed to score a great price on a last minute flight back to Boston.

Below are the latest sales in anticipation of Black Friday and Cyber Monday which is right around the corner. I’ll update this page or post another update as some of these sales are switched out if they haven’t already been published.
Amazon – Shop their Black Friday deals here. Take 30% off clothing, shoes, watches, jewelry and more. Use code 30BLACKFRI at checkout for a discount on eligible items sold and shipped by amazon.com. I have Amazon Prime through my friend and it’s been so convenient (maybe too convenient) to order things and have them arrive quickly within a day or two. I have major commitment issues when it comes to a watch so I don’t own one (my Toy watch from a few years ago broke) but I’ve been looking at this Skagen watch (34mm) and a similar one from Nordstrom Rack (28mm). Not related to Amazon but I’ve also been looking at this drive mini watch (23.5mm) by Tous. My dream watch the Cartier Santos Galbeé.
Ann Taylor – Get 50% off EVERYTHING until 1PM. Use code CELEBRATE. Valid online and in store. Shop my sales picks here:
I liked this windowpane camp shirt but I wish they also offered it in white with black grid lines. Size XS regular fits me pretty well (if I had to be picky about sizing then I’d want to try on size XXS too for comparison). I passed on this blouse since I prefer light blouses over dark blouses.

Sale ends tonight 11/29 at 11:59PM ET. I love J.crew pocket umbrellas and I own a few of them. I still love my Chateau parka that I bought last year (review here). I want this pajama set but I’ll probably get the LOFT version here, here and here instead as long as my size doesn’t sell out. I recently tried on the popular lady day coat in 2 regular and it fit me everywhere except the length was too long. If I don’t want to alter the length which is very expensive for such a thick coat then I probably need it in 4 petite but I’m worried that the sleeves will be too short.
J.Crew Factory – Get 50% off every single thing (prices as marked online) plus free shipping on orders of $50 or more. Use code SHIPGIFTS. Valid in stores and online. Sale ends tonight 11/29 at 11:59PM ET.

I wanted this scallop lace dress the moment I saw it online since it has sleeves. Below I’m wearing my old lace dress from 2013 on the left and this year’s version with sleeves on right.

LEFT – LOFT Scalloped Sleeveless Lace Dress, size 0P (old from 2013, review here, similar here)
RIGHT – LOFT Scallop Lace Dress, size 00 regular
I originally tried on the scallop lace dress in 2 regular in stores (refer to the below picture) and realized I would need to stick with regular missy sizing so that the dress would sit at my natural waist. Petite sizing would be too high and more of an uncomfortable empire waist on me. Size 00 regular has a 28″ waist and fits me comfortably with room to eat a meal. Luckily the lace sleeves were also not tight and skimmed my arms. Size 2 regular on the other hand was a few inches too wide all over. I’d say this dress runs about one size larger. I’m on the fence about returning it since I don’t love the lace they used as much as I thought I would. On the other hand, it’s a great dress to have for formal events but I have so many clothes that I save for a rainy day and never wear or barely wear. I have longer arms (I usually take 23-24″ sleeves) so if you’re petite and go with the missy sizing for the waist placement then the sleeves may be more bracelet length on you.

LOFT Scallop Lace Dress, size 2 regular

LOFT Starry Long Rib Trim Tank, size XS regular
I love the tiny stars on this starry rib trim tank and I hope petite sizes will be available soon/later. The color is light blue in person but it comes across as white in their online stock image. I tried on size XS regular which fits like a basketball jersey length so I’m pretty sure I need this in XXSP since it runs really long and oversize in regular missy.

I want all of the cute new pajama sets from LOFT (available in polka dots, starry print and gingham print) but I wish they were available in petites. Hopefully size XXS won’t sell out in at least one of the styles but I’m holding out for 50% off or better. I can’t see myself paying a lot for clothes that I’ll only wear at home but they would make cute presents. The starry print (pictured above) is grey and not off white as pictured in their online stock image. See the gingham version on Kate.
