Hi Friends!

The holiday season is officially upon us, and you know what that means—it's shopping time! Black Friday deals will be rolling in, and it's the perfect opportunity to snag those pieces you've been eyeing (or add a few extra treats to your cart just because). Whether you're hunting for a new winter coat, cozy knits, or statement shoes, I've got you covered with tips and tricks for navigating the sales and building a wardrobe you'll love for seasons to come.

Alexis' Top Tips for Black Friday Shopping:

  1. Make a Wish List (and Check It Twice!) 📝 Before diving into the sales, take a moment to review your wardrobe. What's missing? What do you need to refresh? Write it down and prioritize these items to avoid impulse buys that end up sitting in your closet. Trust me, this small step makes a big difference!

  2. Shop Your Color Palette First 🎨 Now’s the time to score those investment pieces in your best colors! Remember, building a cohesive wardrobe is all about choosing colors that make you look and feel amazing. If you're a jewel-tone lover, look for deep purples, emerald greens, and rich blues. Neutrals like deep navy, charcoal, and black are also great basics to stock up on.

  3. Look for Versatile Pieces 👖👚 Focus on versatile items you can mix and match through the holiday season and beyond. Think classic blazers, tailored trousers, and chic knits. Bonus points if it can be dressed up with a pair of heels or dressed down with sneakers for a more casual vibe.

  4. Don't Forget the Fun! 💃✨ It’s the holidays, after all! Keep an eye out for festive pieces like sequined tops, metallic shoes, or a statement coat that will make you shine at every party. Even if you're usually a neutrals fan, the holidays are a great excuse to experiment with something a bit more glam.

What I’m Shopping This Season that will stand the test of trends so you can wear forever!

1. Luxe Knitwear:

The early winter chill is the perfect excuse to layer up in cozy, but stylish knitwear. Look for sweaters in soft cashmere or merino wool in rich, saturated shades like deep burgundy, forest green, or charcoal gray. Cropped cardigans, chunky turtlenecks, and oversized sweaters are versatile options that pair well with jeans or tailored trousers.

Shop My Faves:

Striped Turtlenecks, Colorful Sweaters, Neutral Sweaters

2. Elevated Outerwear:

A stylish winter coat is a must. Go for a classic wool coat in a flattering cut—belted, wrap-style, or a tailored silhouette are all great options. If you want a trendier vibe, try a quilted puffer or a statement leather trench. Opt for neutrals like camel, navy, or black for versatility, or go bold with a jewel-toned option to brighten up your look.

SHOP: Grey Coat, Shearling, Camel Coat, Red Coat
