Friday Favorites #72: Black Friday Edition (contains discount codes!)

TGI(B)F!  Although I absolutely love Thanksgiving (and any holiday that involves eating copious amounts of yummy food), Black Friday is definitely the shopaholics' holiday.  We spent yesterday being thankful for all the wonderful things we have... and then today is all about materialism and commercialism.  ;)  I've already done most of my Christmas shopping, so Black Friday is a time where I can snag some great deals for myself!  Here are some things I've been coveting this past week -- and be sure to scroll down to the bottom for a huge list of promotional codes (including one for my own Shop My Closet store)!

I feel like it wouldn't be a Friday Favorites post without some novelty purses...

Aren't these lip balms adorable?

A gal can never have too many coats, and these are so pretty!

I also love the color of this vibrant lavender coat:

I tend to drink lots of tea and hot chocolate in the wintertime.  This infographic will help keep my beverage choices interesting (and delicious)!

I can't talk about treats without mentioning these donut notecards!  I need them!

I'm also a big fan of salt water taffy, and this pumpkin pie taffy looks especially good:

This phone case is pretty sweet (pun intended)!  It's sort of cotton-candy-inspired!

I'm very much into documentaries, and I recently watched two films that I absolutely adored.  The first was called I Know That Voice, which is all about voice acting and the actors behind many of the most beloved voices in animation.  I've always secretly wanted to pursue voice acting and voice overs as a facet of my career, so I was already familiar with some of the cast, but holy smokes, if you're at all interested in performing or entertainment or just like cartoons... you should check it out.

The second film I watched was called Advanced Style.  I wasn't familiar with the Advanced Style blog, but the film is centered around some of the women who had formerly appeared on the blog (which is about New York women who are over 50 and have impeccable style).  As someone with a flair for the dramatic when it comes to how I dress, this film really spoke to me and was truly inspiring.  If you're into fashion (I can only assume you are, since you're here!), give this one a watch.  Both of these films are streaming on Netflix Instant!

Okay, back to the clothes.  A pastel blouse with scalloped edges?  I'm in love.

This would be such a fun gift or party-time game!

I have holiday parties on the brain!  Either of these dresses would be gorgeous for Christmastime.

And this bright red dress would be such a fun holiday option, too!

These little trees are so cute for smaller spaces!

I love a good pair of red flats, and these look like little wrapped Christmas presents!

I love this Cath Kidston sweatshirt -- it's so perfect for Christmas morning!

ModCloth always goes all-out for Black Friday, and they currently have hundreds of new arrivals on sale for 50% off!  Here are a few of my favorite dresses from the sale:

The Shopaholic's Holiday (contains coupon codes!)

Of course, I'm referring to Black Friday!  Yesterday was devoted to turkey and family and tradition... but today is all about shopping (at least, it is for me)!  There are obviously a ton of great Black Friday deals right now, and if you're stuck at work (like I am) or want to spare yourself from navigating all the crowds (like I do), online shopping is a wonderful option.  

Out of all the big holiday sales, the one at ModCloth has to be my favorite -- but this shouldn't surprise anyone, since ModCloth has HUNDREDS of items on sale for 50% OFF right now!!!  I'm nearly hyperventilating at the amazingness.  These are all brand new arrivals to ModCloth, and all are half price!  It's almost too good to be true.  Here are a few of my 50%-off-favorites:

a // Luck Be a Lady Dress in Garden

b // Record Store Date Dress

c // Fashionably Afloat Dress

d // Darling, Please Dress in Jade

e // Fluent in Feline Sunglasses

f // Critter-cal Mass Bag in Cat

g // Looking to Tomorrow Dress in Evergreen

h // Bake Shop Browsing Dress in Umbrellas

i // Boysenberry Buckle Dress

j // Unrivaled Radiance Flats

k // Purr-chance to Dream Flat

l // Career Fairest Heel

Not only does ModCloth have great ideas for your holiday shopping needs, but since this is too sweet a deal to pass up, I'm sure you'll find a little something (or several somethings!) for yourself.  I'm really tempted by the beautiful baby blue dress, the cat purse, the purple halter dress, and the spectator heels!  Ahh!  This ModCloth sale lasts only 'til December 1st, so hurry up and head on over to the Black Friday 50% off sale to snag the best deals while they last!  PLUS, ModCloth is offering FREE international shipping on orders of $150+ for the holidays (so now is your chance, if you live outside the US and are a ModCloth lover!).
