Black Friday open thread + my hunting list

Black Friday is here and retailers are drooling over us hoping we’ll crack open our wallets and fork over whatever’s inside. It’s hard to pass up such tempting deals but with budget in-hand I’m fighting the impulse shopping back.

Inside, what I’ll be looking for at Anthropologie today…

Aside from gift shopping I do plan to take advantage of Anthropologie’s 20% off promotion for anthro members today. I’m usually a full-price shopper anyway so this discount is a nice incentive. Below are a bunch of full-priced items I’m considering, plus a couple of sale items that I hope to pick up with the 25% off sale promotion running through the weekend online and in Anthropologie stores. Will you pick up anything today at Anthropologie?

In addition to my Anthropologie hunting, several of Effortless Anthropologie’s sponsors and affiliates are running promotions today! I’ll be back later this morning with a full list. Enjoy your Black Friday whether you are shopping or not!

IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE THE 20% OFF ANTHRO MEMBER EMAIL YESTERDAY, USE THE CODE LUCKYDAY AT CHECKOUT.

Feel free to use this thread to share your hauls, questions and comments. And please keep it polite! If you’re shopping today, great! If you’re not shopping today, great! Judge-y comments and backhanded comments are going right to the deleted bin. Let’s keep that holiday spirit alive kids! If a troll should stop by the comments please do not respond to or feed them. I’ll deal with them.

I saw the Glinted Sunset Shift ($228) at Corey Lynn Calter’s Fall 2012 presentation and loved it! So happy to see it’s available at Anthropologie. I’ll have a review of it soon.

Guess I’ll finally get a chance to pick up J Brand’s Brocade Marias ($242) that I’ve been obsessed with for months! Will the Isabel Knee Boots fit over my calves? Probably not. But I’m hoping against hope.

Stellon Bag ($250)

Stellon Bag ($250)

I’m in love with both versions of this bag that Anthropologie carries, as well as the waxed Canvas version that’s currently $150 on sale on the Jo Handbags website. (Green or charcoal waxed convas…which one would you pick?)

Miette Blazer (now $70)
