Happy Thanksgiving, friends! Checking in today to share my top 5 favorite Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals to shop this week. Be sure to check back today through Monday as I’ll continue to update with the best deals. Enjoy!!! Xo. Lauren

Shopbop

Yesterday I shared the details for Shopbop’s Shop More, Save More (MORE17) Black Friday Sale. Shopbop rarely runs sales throughout the year so this is one of the best time to stock up on brands you wouldn’t normally shop at regular prices. Insert Stuart Weitzman, Tibi, Acne, and Veronica Beard. This is my personal favorite Black Friday Sale so if there’s one sale you’re going to shop, make it this one!

Shop The Sale

Nordstrom

Shop 20% off selected items at Nordstrom. I love these suede booties, this Topshop Camel Coat, this Burberry Vest, or this Madewell sweater.

gift

Pottery Barn

Pottery Barn, one of my go-to decorating sources for all things holiday, is offering 20% off EVERYTHING plus free shipping. Or if you’re looking to stock up on Christmas decor, they are offering 30% off select items. I bought so much holiday decor at Pottery Barn this season including these plaid plates, these snowflake stockings, these nostalgic santa salad plates, and these antique silver chargers (on sale for $34 dollars!). Seriously, so much good stuff! Shop my favorites below.

Ann Taylor Loft

I’ve been shopping Ann Taylor Loft more recently for work. I always freeze at the office so finding affordable layering pieces is key. Ann Taylor Loft’s Black Friday deal is a good one!!-You can shop 50% off everything with promo code THANKS!

gift

J.Crew

Last but certainly not least, J.Crew is offering 40% off everything! Stock up on outerwear like this fur jacket, this wool coat (it’s stunning in red!), this leopard top coat or this parka with the fur hood!

2017 Gift Guide Series | For The Jet Setter
0

You guys know how much I love to travel so putting together travel gift ideas for the jet setter on your list is always so fun for me! Over the past few years, I’ve learned a thing or two about my absolute “must haves” whenever I get on an airplane or train — many of which would make for great stocking stuffers or bigger gift ideas!

I personally like to travel with a carry-on suite case to avoid any delays that might come with checking a bag. Mark and Graham has come out with a new Terminal 1 Carry-On that is just as durable as it is chic. What I love most about giving this carry-on as a gift is that you can make it personal. Mark and Graham has a wide variety of monogram and color options to choose from! I would opt for a navy with white monogram, who’s with me?

I can’t travel without my back up external Mophie charger. Mophies come in a wide variety and colors. I personally like the XL version which provides up to two full charges for your iPhone – essential when you’re on a long flight! Make sure to get this version as I’ve noticed Amazon put several refurbished options on their website which can get confusing! In order to keep all of my chargers in place, I also like to travel with this leather wire roll up. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I have all of my chargers loose in my purse!

Whenever I travel, I like to be as comfortable as possible. This means cashmere pants (a new discovery for me!), APL sneakers (seriously obsessed with), and a comfortable cardigan because I’m always cold on planes and trains.

Other great travel gift ideas include this passport case, this worldwide travel adapter, these seersucker travel bags or this weekender which would make for a great gift for her, or him! Last but not least, I always like to take a peek at Shopbop’s travel accessories whenever I’m searching for travel gift ideas since they have a wide variety!

I’ve linked to all of my previous gift guides below. Happy Shopping! Xo. Lauren

2017 Gift Guide Series | For The Hostess
0

The number of holiday parties that take place over these next few months can be overwhelming! I’m a firm believer in bringing a hostess gift when attending a party at a friend’s or family members house over the holiday season. What I love most about giving hostess gifts, is that they don’t have to be expensive & you can easily make them personal!

Today I’ve rounded up the best hostess gifts to shop this party season.

A small Diptyque candle is always a good idea – I prefer the roses scent! Williams-Sonoma has two great coaster options – these gold rimmed coasters and these white marble coasters which both are under $25 dollars! A hostess can never have too many wood salad severs. Last but not least, this Williams-Sonoma mulling spices gift set would make such a nice hostess gift if  your budget is around $100 dollars.

2017 Gift Guide Series | The Best Beauty and Makeup Gift Sets To Give This Year
0

Gift-Guide-Beauty-And-Makeup-Gift-Sets-Holiday-Shopping

One of my favorite gift guides to create each and every year is the one dedicated to beauty and make up gift sets! Honestly, this is one of the best times to invest in skincare or make up brands you love as these value sets are truly phenomenal.

In case you’re just tuning in, we’re in the middle of my 2017 gift guide series! So far we’ve launched the top gifts for her, the top gifts for him as well as the top holiday plaid gifts to give this year. My fourth (and personal) favorite gift guide launching today is dedicated to skincare and make up. You can shop each and every gift guide by clicking on the black and white plus sign next to each product in the collage above. Or if that’s too hard, I’ve linked to every product featured below under “Shop The Post.”

After browsing a few of my favorite retailers for the best beauty and makeup gift sets, I’ve come to the conclusion that these below are just too good to pass up. Plus, the single products I’ve linked to (ones not included in a value set) I use in my daily skincare routine and hope you love just as much as I do. Let’s get to it, shall we?

My mom is going to go crazy for this huge lip kit from Sephora – can you believe how many lip glosses, balms and lipsticks are included in this set for $70 dollars? This would make such a good gift or stocking stuffer! I also thought this skin wonderland set that comes with Sephora’s best skincare sellers would be a great starter kit for anyone wanting to enhance their skincare routine. I will be stocking up on this L’occitane hand cream set – you cannot beat this $30 dollar price point. Last but not least, I’m dying to try the new Gucci sent, Bloom – you can shop a 3-piece gift set for $129!

Product Highlights — I’ve used Dermalogica in my skincare routine since I was 25 – this power firm eye cream is the best and this pre-cleanse is great for removing oils and unclogging pores. This Hourglass ambient palette is one of the best for highlighting your cheeks during the holiday season. This Charlotte Tilbery eye shadow palette is perfect for a smokey eye. Last but not least, a new discovery that I’m slightly obsessed with is this Henne Luxury Lip Tint ($21.95 dollars)- it’s a great, clean alternative to Dior’s Lip Glow ($33 dollars).
