I Have a Running List of Things to Buy on Black Friday—Here’s Everything On It
At any given point throughout the year, I have a running list of things to buy that I keep in the notes app of my phone and desktop. On it are all of the holes I've identified in my life—you'll find anything from a new white T-shirt to the It bag I'm lusting after or even the supplements my friend recommended to me. I use this list as a way to save up for the items I really want and avoid making random impulse purchases that I may or may not regret later.
Now that the shopping event of the year (Black Friday is 11/29. Mark your calendars.) is mere weeks away, I'm getting my shopping list in tip-top shape so I can hit the ground running as soon as my favorite brands and retailers start offering some of their steepest discounts of the year. I just put the finishing touches on my Black Friday shopping list and biased as I may be, I thought it was way too good to keep to myself. Curious to see what's on it?
Scroll down to see the exact list I have going in my notes section and then shop everything on it, including the fashion, beauty, and wellness buys on my list.
These Paige boots are topping my list for a number of reasons. Firstly, they're a favorite among the WWW editors and a handful of in-the-know celebs, which is always a great stamp of approval. But they're also rumored to be way comfier than your average ankle boot. I'm sold.
I've had my eye on Yuzefi's new collection of bags ever since they dropped. From the shape to the combination of colors, I might lose sleep over it if I don't make it mine soon.
The leather trend may be spreading like wildfire through our wardrobes right now, but a pair of black leather trousers are a forever staple. Come Black Friday, I plan to make these mine.
I've been in the market for a slightly slouchy-fitting suit for a while, but I haven't found "the one" until I spotted our managing editor Kristen in this glorious set from Pixie Market.
So easy to style together as an outfit or wear each piece separately.
I could always use more white tees. No matter how hard I try, mine never stay as crisp as I'd like them to, so I'm taking it upon myself to restock with this editor favorite.
The same goes for no-show underwear—you can never have enough.
I have my running shoes and I have my "fashion" sneakers but for some reason I don't have one pair that does both. This cool color-blocked sneaker solves that.
I've been in the market for a '90s-style shoulder bag for a minute now, and I simply can't resist this affordable version any longer.
Lip balm with just the right amount of natural-looking tint.
I've tried nearly every product from Glossier, and yet their iconic Boy Brow is the one I never forget to re-stock. Truly a can't-live-without product.
I didn't think anything could top the magic of Boy Brow... that is until I tried their newer brow gel pen. Nothing helps me fake a strong brow faster than this little pen.
Hair perfume might sound like a ridiculous addition to a beauty routine, but after catching a whiff of a friend wearing one of Byredo's hair scents, it all made sense. This keeps your
I've lusted after La Mer's iconic face cream for so long now, subsisting off of teeny samples of it from the beauty counter, that I think now's the time to commit to a full pot.
I tried a sample of this tinted moisturizer and loved the velvety texture and all-day coverage it provides, so I'm going back for the full size this time.
With 1.5% salicylic acid, Sunday Riley's UFO oil treats and prevents acne without drying out your skin and specifically targets congestion and oil buildup. I'm ready to put it to the test.
I'm in the process of (slowly but surely) switching over my bathroom products to non-toxic versions, and this body wash is my next step.
From roughly November until March, I keep a tube of intensely hydrating hand cream by my side at all times, so this year I'm trying this luxurious and great-smelling one from Aesop.
In an effort to be more sustainable, I'm saying goodbye to throwaway coffee cups and plan to bring a chic reusable one like this around with me on runs to my local coffee bar.
As an avid hot yoga goer, I've had Lululemon's sweat-wicking Big Mat in my life for nearly 8 years and it's just now starting to lose its grip. Talk about a low cost-per-wear...
These are formulated to help break down protein, carbs, sugars, and fats and aid in overall digestion. Perhaps the key to a flatter stomach and beating belly bloat once and for all?
After reading our beauty editor Erin's review of this magical de-bloating product, I was immediately sold.
Based on the last two products, can you tell that digestive health is a priority for me? Well, I'll take all the help I can get and this "inner beauty" powder is my next buy. Formulated with all-natural ingredients like aloe vera, licorice root, milk thistle, and slippery elm, this contributes to a healthy gut and strong immune system.
Battling stress is a full-time job—these gummies, stocked with 10mg of CBD plus Chamomile and Lemon Balm extracts will help.
