Black Friday Finds

Well, we survived. I managed to drag Jenna out to meet me at 6:30 in the morning for her first ever Black Friday experience. She used to work retail and knew the craziness that was Black Friday, so never bothered to venture out as an actual customer. We both scored some amazing pieces, so I'm pretty sure the sleep deprivation was worth it! But I'll just shut up now and let you see for yourself.

JCrew Cream Excursion vest: 30% off $120 original price

JCrew Navy Shiny Puffer vest: On sale for $99.99 plus extra 40% off

JCrew Olive colored short rain boot: On sale for $49.99 plus extra 40% off

Banana Republic Paint the Town tee: from Banana Republic, not available online - 50% off $39.50 original price

Express Sweater leggings: 50% off $59.90 original price

Lauren Ralph Lauren Wine colored bag: On sale for $148.50 plus extra 25% off

Ok, so none of these pieces are really pieces that I NEEDED. But it all just kind of happened. I've been wanting a cream colored vest, and can't ever seem to find my size. I decided to get this one even though the price wasn't super marked down, and then when I saw my cranberry vest was marked down to around half off - you better believe I grabbed the navy version!

The rain boots were just too adorable, and for $25, I really could not pass them up. And they're different enough from my other two pairs (here and here), that I felt I could justify them.

The tee and leggings are cheap basics. Can't say no to those. Clearly.

And the bag. THE BAG. How gorgeous is it? And the fact that it is still full price online makes me even giddier about the $111 price I got it for!

Express Aztec blanket scarf: 50% off $49.90 original price

 Cole Haan Black stack heel booties: On sale for $184.90 plus additional 20% off

Well, Express didn't have the fringe mini nor the poncho that I was on the lookout for. I've had my eye on this Aztec blanket scarf, so I figured there was no better time to buy it than now.

The boots are probably my most favorite purchase of the day! I realized recently that I lack a medium heel, non-suede black bootie. I've been specifically wanting a stacked heel, especially after how much I love my cognac pair. I was debating on these and a Sam Edelman pair, but these were the better deal and ridiculously comfortable on top of that.  As soon as I set my foot in them, I knew they were coming home with me.

Banana Republic Sparkle crossover ring: 40% off $39.50 original price

Nadri Gold and silver hinged bangles: 20% off $55 original price

Kate Spade Rose Gold earrings: On sale for $29 plus additional 20% off - purchased at Nordstrom but also available here

Chanel Blue polish: Not on sale

And these are all my random impulse purchases. The ring I found at Banana, and it fit perfectly on my finger, which never happens. They're always so big! This added just the perfect amount of bling!

The earrings were just darling, and I only have one other pair of rose gold earrings, which are more of a statement pair. These will be great for everyday wear.

Jenna was raving about these bangles, and basically the Nordstrom sales associate should have just given her their commission for convincing me to buy them. I loved how delicate they were and that they truly fit around my wrists - normally it's like a pencil in a trash can when I try to wear bangles!

Chanel polish. Enough said. Couldn't resist this even at full price.

Overly stimulated yet? Well, before I go, this is a quick summary of all the stores featured in this post and their corresponding Black Friday sales for your reference!
