As soon as November arrives, the inevitable happens: Halloween decorations come down, and attention shifts to the holidays. For those who love shopping, this also includes Black Friday.
With so many sales, it can feel overwhelming to figure out where to start. That's why I like to prepare in advance and shop with intention. I prefer not to spend the day aimlessly scrolling. Instead, I create a list of retailers I'm most interested in and note the specific items I've been considering. Often, these are pieces I've had my eye on regardless of the sale season.
Below, I've rounded up the items I currently have bookmarked from Shopbop. While compiling this list, I focused on things that have been on my wish list for a while—like Uggs, Chimi sunglasses, and Levi's jeans. Looking ahead to winter, I'm also in need of a new scarf and some extra knitwear, so I'll be paying close attention to any markdowns in those categories.
I love Nia dresses.
This Guizio knee-length skirt.
I already own two dresses from Cou Cou that get so much wear.
I'd like this long-sleeve top as well…
…and matching pointelle pants to wear around the house.
Levi's 501 '90s Jeans, of course.
My friend has been wearing the same ACNE scarf for years, which is a testament to its quality.
I've been wanting an Yves Durif brush.
I'd love a Mason Pearson Pocket Brush to carry in my bag.
I'm such a fan of Chimi sunglasses.
Living in NYC, I think it's time I bought a pair of Uggs.
My dream ballet sneakers.
I love Georg Jensen homeware.
I'll be checking to see if anything from Peachy Den goes on sale.
I saw Heather Hurst recommend this cashmere wrap.
I know I'll get so much wear out of these.
This cute Sandy Liang fleece…
…as well as this 100% nylon skirt.
I can't say I thought I'd see the return of the Reva Travel Ballet Flats that my best friend used to wear in high school, but here we are.
Talia Mayden vouches for the Mary Jane Ballet Flats too.
I've been meaning to try Ouai's Fine Hair Shampoo.
St. Agni makes the chicest minimalist pieces.
A column skirt from Shopbop's in-house brand.
An upgraded canvas bag.
Cashmere socks.
I've heard this Goop body oil smells so good.
I resisted the Eberjey pajamas for years, but after I felt how soft they are, they won me over.
V-neck sweaters are timeless.
I'm looking for a balaclava for winter.
A classic halter dress.
A pair of investment leather clogs.
