I'm Helping My Best Friend Navigate the Black Friday Sales (Early!)—I Suggested These Chic Finds From Nordstrom, Revolve, and Shopbop

The biggest shopping weekend of the year is nearly here—I'm talking about Black Friday, if you hadn't already guessed—and I'm already planning and prepping what pieces I'm hoping to buy at majorly discounted prices.

As you can imagine navigating Black Friday sales can be an overwhelming feat—with so many emails bombarding our inboxes and so many different retailers offering discounts, it can be hard to decipher what's worth buying and what's not. My best friend, has already messaged me asking for my help with what she should be adding to cart this year (with specific requests for new sweaters, jeans, coats, and boots). Of course, I'm happily obliging!

I narrowed it down to three retailers we both love—Shopbop, Nordstrom, and Revolve—who carry a myriad of different brands, so that the shopping and checkout process will be much easier. While we still don't know exactly what will be on sale yet, I put together a chic list of items from each retailer that I believe are worth getting her hands on this season. Included in the mix are gorgeous coats, chic boots, holiday party pieces, and plenty of sumptuous sweaters to get us through the cold-weather season. Keep scrolling to see my picks.
