ONLY ONE more day to sleep until Black Friday! Never mind that most Black Friday sales have already begun.
Last week we found great deals on some retro-looking striped socks, dark indigo jeans spiffy enough to pass for more formal pants, breezy linen pjs for cool sleeping and a trendy weighted walking vest with health benefits. This week we’ve got our eye on a terrific tinted sunscreen that’s almost one-third off its usual price; a mascara we’re obsessed with that’s a steal considering it’s selling for $10 less than usual; a posh-white jacket glammed up with rhinestone buttons and cherry-colored corduroy pants. Oh, boy!
Take a look at what’s in our carts now:
Eryfotona Ageless Mineral Sunscreen
A lightweight tinted sunscreen my dermatologist loves. I do, too. It’s not cheap, so Dermstore’s Black Friday Sale is the time to buy it—for 30% off (use code JOY).
Better Than Sex Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara
I’ve tried many other mascaras over the years, but I always come back to this one with its easy-to-use, lash-separating hourglass brush. It usually sells for $29 but during Ulta’s Black Friday Beauty Deals, it’s $20.30.
Instead of the regular $95 price, about a dozen or more Cariuma Oca Low canvas sneakers are selling for $45. I don’t know how long this sale will last, so jump on it if you want this style in white, gray, sand, navy and a few other colors, including my favorite, off-white canvas with a gum sole.
Collection Lady Jacket in Textured Tweed
During J. Crew’s Black Friday Event, this polished piece with rhinestone buttons is marked down from $378 to $264.50.
This slouchy merino knit from Everlane comes in several other colors, all of which are going fast–for $104.
You’ve seen this loafer before. Snap it up while it’s selling at Margaux for $276 in burgundy and four other colors.
My savvy daughter-in-law is sold on Merit Beauty. I’m always on the hunt for a blush that works on my dry skin, so I’m tempted to try this creamy one while it’s $24 instead of $30.
Zella Studio Luxe Performance Jacket
Indoor tennis and pickleball courts are always cold, so I’d happily slip on this sleek fitting, sporty stand-collar jacket, which is $69.99 during Nordstrom’s Black Friday sale. It also comes in navy, light blue and pink.
Slouchy Straight Corduroy Pant
I’m a fan of corduroy pants. They keep my legs warm! These—from Banana Republic—are $92 during the retailer’s sale. They’re available in this cheerful cherry jam color and black.
During La Ligne’s Mercigiving Sale this cotton knit is selling for 50% off.
Woven buttons punctuate the front of Mango’s charming fluffy faux-fur coat, which is reduced from $199 to $129.99.
Also from Mango, a peacoat-inspired jacket with top buttons you can leave open or wrap close around your neck. It’s now selling for $129.99, down from $199.99.
Corduroy shirts read sort of sit-by-the-fire, country house casual but add a sweet ruffle down the front and you can wear it to cocktails.
Sparkly Bow Embellished Cardigan
Bows are back in full force and looking especially appealing encrusted with rhinestones on this cardi, which is selling for $88.50 at Bloomingdale’s.
Do Weighted Vests Give a More Effective Workout? asks the Wall Street Journal in a recent article. With an 8-pound weight included, this vest sells for $35.99 from Amazon.
I bought these trouser-like jeans for full price and don’t regret it. But, during 7 For All Mankind’s Black Friday Preview, take an extra 25% off sale with code: SHOPEARLY. They’re $146, reduced from $208.
Utility Shirt in Washable Silk
Pockets give a sporty look in a luxe fabric for the final sale price of $75 from Everlane.
During Serena and Lily’s “sale of the year,” these airy linen pjs are $98, instead of $168. They come in three other colors.
My colleague Meredith Gallo has three pairs of these from Amazon. She says, “They’re cheap ($54.90) but don’t look like it, and they come in so many color ways. Great for weddings and holiday parties.”
A J. Crew “Holiday Deal,” this crisp poplin button-down is selling for $56.50, down from $98.
Is it just me or are jackets more user-friendly than coats? Besides the pretty hue, this one from REI Co-op offers 650-fill-power down for warmth and a windproof, water-resistant shell fabric. Until November 25, it’s on sale for $77.39.
I’ve also been eyeing this 650-fill-power down jacket from Uniqlo. It’s $79.90.
Says Meredith, “I really like these socks from Amazon; they could be a fun stocking stuffer (pun intended).” A Black Friday Deal, three pairs are $11.19; five for $15.99.
Fair Isle Sweater in Merino Wool
A fair isle sweater that looks more grownup girl than kid with shades of deep lavender, merlot and cream. In Brooks Bros. 30% off site-wide sale, it’s $173.60, down from $240.
I think this cute little belt bag (7″ x 2″ x 4 1/2″ D) with an adjustable strap will be perfect for my trip down under this coming February. It’s on final sale from Athleta for $19.97.

All about puffer jackets for my daily exercise walk, particularly if the zippers open from the top or bottom for air.
I’m thinking of getting the Uniqlo one.
