Black Friday sale round up
As a Canadian, I used to throw major side eye at the American equivalent of Boxing Day (Gretchen, stop trying to make Black Friday happen…it’s not going to happen). Well, it happened. And count me among the converted (probably the last one, but hey).
I thoroughly enjoy the thrill of a great deal hunt. So in the spirit of my newly discovered love for a pre-Christmas excuse to treat myself, here are a few of the sales I’m most excited about this year.
Aritzia: clientele up to 50% off
If you’re familiar with Aritzia, you’re familiar with the infrequency and sometimes comedy ($5 off? Mmm okay.) of their sales.
So when an Aritzia sale comes around, I tend to take advantage to check a few items off my wish list. This year that includes some key winter accessories and year-round wardrobe staples.
Daria ankle pant: I already have a pair that have been well worn for 5 years (and still going strong). But I’ve been wanting to upgrade to this ankle length that wasn’t previously available.
Wren sweater: I love that this isn’t your typical looser knit. The weight and drape is beautiful.
Cashmere knotted hat: a twist on a winter necessity, which I am here for.
Jotham pant: I’ve had my eye on these in the camel colour way and now is probably as good a time as any to pull the trigger.
melanie auld: up to 60% off
This is hands down one of my favourite jewellery brands and Black Friday coincides with their biggest annual sale. I love their minimalist aesthetic and how simple and wearable their pieces are - plus they’re a Canadian brand (woo!).
I’m planning to grab a few pieces I’ve had my eye on for quite a while (see, patience is a virtue).
The Arc ring: I’m planning to stack this with my engagement and wedding rings, because well, the more the merrier.
The Dainty Arc ring: this will be an excellent one to wear alone on my right hand or mix and match with the other MAJ rings in my collection.
Herringbone chain: I cannot wait to layer it with the daintier necklaces I already have. Perfect for everyday wear.
bOnlook: up to 30% off
Although I don’t need to wear glasses 24/7 (just to, you know, drive and binge Netflix), I love collecting fun eyewear. And this (ahem, Canadian) brand is amazing.
I’ve got my eye on two sets of frames to work into my repertoire.
Imagine Plus: this “Terra” colour is a great alternative to basic black. Nice contrast without being too harsh.
Icone: I don’t currently have a two-tone pair and I’m loving this colour combination.
FYI: they recently began offering blue light filter on the lenses and I’ll never again go without. It’s seriously made such a difference, drastically reducing the headaches I used to get from staring at screens for extended periods of time.
There you have it - the Black Friday sales I’m watching out for and the items I’ll subsequently be stalking via tracking number. Happy shopping!
