I had a lovely week with family and friends and I have overindulged. Our friends joined us for dinner on Thursday and I have to say I was pretty chuffed with how the turkey came out after brining overnight. Needless to say on Friday morning I felt like I had been soaked in a bath of salt and wine too, hence I didn’t get too involved or carried away with Black Friday 🙂 In fact I had several items in and out of my Zara cart all day and didn’t buy any of them. I did succumb and buy the Off Duty jumper in charcoal and navy from Boden. I have a couple from previous years and love them so with 30% off I bit the bullet. I can never have too many jumpers!
Some of my favorite stores do still have great discounts this weekend carrying into Cyber Monday:
J.Crew – use HOLIDAY for 30% off and 40% off sale items till 11/30
Mango – use 5BLACK2 in the US and 5BLACK4 in the UK till 11/30
GAP are still offering 40% off everything in the US using code GIFT
Boden have 30% off using code 3K3G at checkout in the US and N9H6 in the UK
AllSaints – 20% off till Monday with promo code CYBER
ASOS have 30% off everything using TGIBF
Back on Tuesday we went to the movies to watch Hero 6 which was really good fun – popcorn and an empty theater – fabulous. I wore my fur as it was pretty chilly here in Atlanta.
Sneakers – Golden Goose (on sale here) // Trousers – J.Crew slouchy wool jogger // Sweatshirt – Target (old) // Fur – Zara (currently in the Cyber discounted section!) // Bag – H&M (old)
Poppy and Hugh were very excited to get out of the house! Poppy is all in H&M except her fabulous red boots which are Boden – she hasn’t taken them off since they arrived!
On Wednesday, once we had bought the 15lb turkey, we headed out for Mexican so we could prepare stuffing and cranberry sauce without feeling hungry!
Sneakers – Nike from J.Crew // Jeans – H&M (some washes just $14.95) // Jumper – J.Crew colorblock tunic // Coat – Mango
Today was spent walking and running with the dogs – time to detox before Christmas so hopefully I can still fit in some of my party wear! I am insisting however that we don’t even discuss Christmas in our house till next week when we get the tree. I need a week between celebrations to reset!
Poppy's Style 
Sounds like a good time was had by all. Love the easy wear outfits Joanna and oooooh Poppy’s boots look fab x
It was brilliant – I think if the UK are adopting Black Friday they should definitely adopt Thanksgiving too – it’s such a fabulous Holiday!
I can’t even get my head round all the Black Friday sales, there’s too much going on!! Your kids are beautiful & I adore Poppy’s red boots! X
I bet they do them in adult sizes too:) She loves them and wears them all the time so they will no doubt be trashed by Xmas! x
I didn’t succumb to any Black Friday purchases in the end…..it’s just all too overwhelming!! Love you in the faux fur….such a lovely colour, the Mango coat looks absolutely gorgeous on you too! xx
The fur is fab but they really do bulk me out – I need to be careful I don’t end up looking like a yeti:)
Absolutely FANTASTIC in the fur and the grey coat.
I’ve not bought a single thing – it’s all too overwhelming!
It really is isn’t it – I still can’t believe how it has become a thing in the UK too!?
