Happy Sunday!

I hope you are having a great weekend.  I enjoyed watching college football yesterday!  The Big 10 started its season - so I got to watch Ohio State beat Nebraska - and Michigan beat Minnesota.  And, what an end to the Penn State and Indiana game.

On to fashion - how about that leopard dress, which would look really cute styled with black tights and black boots this fall and winter.

As far as sales, it is really odd to be talking about "Black Friday" deals already - but it seems like all the stores are starting their sales early.  Black Friday is supposed to be the day after Thanksgiving when stores moved from "red" (or loss)  into the "black" (profit) - so I guess stores are getting a jump on turning a profit this year - and for some, I am sure it has been a tough year.

MY DAILY FINDS & DEALS

These cute "blue light" glasses are on sale for $10.

These faux leather jeans are 55% off - and very flattering.

Are you ready for Thanksgiving week - and all the shopping deals?  It seems like the deals just keep starting earlier and earlier.

Today starts the big buy more - save more sale.  It is a great time to stock up on those items that rarely go on sale.  I have been thinking about these boots.  They are currently 30% off plus an additional savings depending on how much I buy.

I have been doing a little Christmas shopping - and putting together "my list".  This year - new ice skates - are on my list.  I went shopping for new skates yesterday.  I have mentioned this before but one of my favorite childhood memories is ice skating.  I skated on a national synchronized team that traveled the US and Canada.  Starting at age 10, I started traveling on the weekends to compete.  It is one of my best memories - and one I am very thankful that my parents supported me - and allowed me to do. 

Recently, I decided that I wanted to start ice skating more. They offer lunch time skating at a rink near me - so it is a great time to get some exercise and get away from work for a bit.  The only problem, I think my feet have slightly grown (making my skates very uncomfortable - like wearing too small of shoes), and my wonderful blades have exhausted their times of sharpening - so it is time to invest in some new (more comfy) skates and blades.  One thing people may not know is that you typically buy the boot and the blade separately.  You find a boot that fits your foot (or if you are really competitive you have one custom made that is molded and made specifically to your foot). Once you have a boot, then you buy a blade that matches your skating level and what you plan to use it for.  The combo is an investment - so that is why I am taking my time to pick out just the right boot - and the shop is ordering in some more boots for me to try.

I am pretty excited for this Christmas gift...  And, I can't wait to use them!

Top Five Strategies to Save Money During Black Friday

TOP FIVE WAYS TO SAVE MONEY

I just read this article about the top five ways to save money (and hassles) during Black Friday shopping.  So, I thought I would share.

1. SHOP STRATEGICALLY

Do not get sucked in by the moment.  Look around and find the best deal.  And, if the price isn't what you had hoped - there is a good chance it might go lower.  Have a list of what you plan to buy and work off of that list.  If you have a price point and grand total in mind - stick to it - and if you follow some of the other tips below, there is a good chance you will save more money. 

2. TIMING IS EVERYTHING

A lot of the great deals will happen before Black Friday - and after Black Friday.  Retailers know they have a captive audience on Black Friday - expecting to get great deals.  But according to researchers the best deals happen between December 10-18.  I have seen better deals leading up to Thanksgiving, like 50% off at Gap - happening right now.

 
3. ABANDON YOUR "ONLINE" SHOPPING CART

If you want to see if you can get a better deal, put something in your online shopping cart - and then log of without buying it.  There is a good chance the retailer will notice - and send you a better deal. 

4. LOOK FOR PRICE MATCHING

Nordstrom is one of the easiest places to shop - and they will definitely price match.  If you find an item somewhere else for cheaper, they will match it.  Plus, Nordstrom offers no hassle returns - so if you buy a gift there, it is easy to return it if it doesn't work out.  And, they will even return an item at any time and without a receipt.  Plus, if you buy something - and wear it - and it doesn't meet your expectations - they will return it (and refund your money) at any time!

5. USE LIVE CHAT

If you are shopping online  - use the "chat" feature.  I have found that the online chat is actually quicker and easier at getting answers to questions and a few times I have used it for getting a refund on an item that was marked down after I bought it.  I have a high suspicion that online retailers will have a full force of customer service agents available to "chat" during Black Friday - so it might be your quickest way to get an answer and a deal.  Plus, you can multi-task. While chatting, you can be searching online for more shopping.

 TOP FIVE "BLACK FRIDAY" DEALS RIGHT NOW

1. COZY EVERYDAY FLEECE

I love this fleece pullover.  It is warm and cozy and it one of the warmest things fleece pullovers I have owned.  Plus, it washes up great and will last forever!  I had my previous one for many years, and just decided to replace it this year.  And, right now it is 25% off (there were limited sizes left)  Also, here on sale in a few colors.

2. SPARKLE

These earrings would be the perfect stocking stuffer or gift exchange idea for your best friend, mom, or daughter.  You get a set of sparkle (and non-sparkle) earrings for only $10 (plus free shipping).

3. FESTIVE RED

This festive red sweater with a fun pocket detail is only $20! 

4. PLAID PONCHO

This neutral plaid poncho is 40% off - and a great layering piece for winter. This one is also fun and its under $30!

5. HUNTER BOOTS

These Hunter Boots are 30% off.  And, these fun pink ones are also 33% off.

6. DESIGNER SUNGLASSES
I had to add a 6th entry because these designer sunglasses are only $80!  This one color which is not a bad color at all is only $80 - the other two are $405.  When I saw the price - I almost thought it was a mistake.  Be sure to check them out!
