IT'S GO TIME PEOPLE 🛒💨
INSIDE: Inciardi prints, my holy grail jeans, and SO MANY STEALS it's insane
First and foremost, I hope everyone had a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving filled with lots of good food and good company – I am so grateful every day for this little corner of Substack and all of you fantastic people I’ve had the chance to meet!!!
And second… holiday season is OFFICIALLY here with a Black Friday BANG as always!! Thus far, the only things I have purchased on this hallowed day are as many Inciardi prints as we were allowed to (5 lol) at the Inciardi machine in Grand Central. There was a pretty long line, but I am a HUGE fan and my friend and I both walked away with the coveted Metro card ones 🥹🥹
We also did a little drive-by at the Bryant Park Winter Village where I was devastated because I couldn’t find my fave, Olfactory… dare I say the Union Square holiday fair may have them beat this year???
Ok that is MORE than enough yapping from me for today. As I mentioned, Tuesday’s special ATSC focused a little more on gifting, and today’s edition is pretty much just a (very long, so sorry) laundry list of all the things I either love and highly recommend OR am currently coveting and adding to cart. Next week, I think I am going to go back to adding pictures of items to the newsletter… but this week’s is all about jam-packing the goods in here :)
Happy shopping! Don’t forget to spread the love and support to your fave small businesses 🫶
B.N.W.T.
It’s time for me to share one of my secrets with y’all… and that is that one of my holy grail pairs of jeans is the Old Navy Ski-High wide-leg ones ($21 today!!!). Please just trust me when I say they make your legs look a mile long! Never sleep on Old Navy denim!!
And keeping it in the family, don’t sleep on the Gap Cashsoft line, like this v-neck sweater ($27) that is SO good and is selling out so fast that I literally have heartburn lol
I am absolutely gagged at how good the Reformation sale is this year, and this sparkly knit top ($66) might be the NYE outfit I’ve been searching for…
Is it even a newsletter if I don’t mention Quince?? Today, I am planning on scooping up one of their perfect chunky knit fisherman sweaters ($35) and a pair of their cashmere-lined leather gloves ($35)!
J.Crew is also going absolutely wild with the sales today with 50% off, and I am OBSESSED with this button-up collar sweater ($35).
I might be a total weirdo for this… but I genuinely enjoy getting nice socks for Christmas now that I’m in my twenties lol, and Free People is doing a “get 3 for $30” sale on their knit ones with the little ruff that are everywhere!
This year marks the year that I became a Mango girlie and it was entirely because of their incredibly cool coat like this denim “parka” with the mismatched collar ($100).
I also always make sure to check in on one of my all-time faves, Beis, on Black Friday, and this year, they are doing 30% off!! I have had my eye on their commuter tote ($83) for forever, now might be my moment…
Get Thrifty
At this point, we all know that the off-the-shoulder going-out top is all the way back – and this super subtle green Free People one ($30) is perfect for the season!
Every Thanksgiving, I think about Friends lol, which means I think about Rachel Green’s iconic style. And for some reason, branded GAP sweatshirts like this cutie one ($20) will always be associated with her in my brain!!
I actually cannot stop thinking about the Skims black boyfriend pants ($38) and now allllll my algorithms are serving them to me pls help
Ok, my probably lukewarm take is that I actually really like puffer bags because I feel like they are more likely to protect your laptop and anything inside it?? Not sure if that logic is logicing but I do think this white nylon puffer tote has a really cute and unique lil quilted pattern happening ($23).
ICYMI, every bag is 50% off on TheRealReal for Black Friday which is WILD and I absolutely love this black Michael Kors moment ($48).
As insane as it sounds, sometimes you can score extra good Black Friday deals on summer clothing – and these Ganni dad shorts ($94) are a perfect example of that!
This cutie silver ring doesn’t have a brand listed on Vestiaire Collective… but it does give me some Van Cleef & Arpels vibes?? We love a doop.
And speaking of off-the-shoulder tops from all the way at the top… here’s a black Reformation one for $70!!
Shop Small
This is undeniably the year of the bag charm – and I LOVE the ones from Puffie Handmade, especially the little croissant one ($11)!
This handmade to-go coffee cup ($69+) from Cute Things Ceramic is the prettiest thing I have seen in my life.
This adorable little gold cobra ring ($38) from Monochromatiques is so wonky, I love him 🥹
I also conceptually vibe very hard with these mismatched angel and devil stud earrings ($16) from Forgotten Confused.
For all my other friends who are on the pill, I added this lil Poptart sleeve holder for your pills ($15) from ES Knots and Co to my cart SO fast.
And speaking of pouches, the leather card holder is having a big moment this holiday season I feel like, and I really like this leather, customizable one ($16) from Suede and Co because it also has a key ring (bag charm on your card holder anyone??)
More Fun Stuff
(I’ll keep this one short for now and be back with more links next week!)

And don’t forget to add the Phia extension to your Chrome browser to see vintage and/or second-hand options of literally everything you’re already looking at! I literally love it, more on that next week!!
This Tok made me lol but also is entirely not wrong (fellow anxious liberal girlies, lmk if you agree!)
As always, please feel free to use my ShopMy link! Go forth and get that bag 🫡
Last newsletter’s most clicked links were the burgundy customizable Zara bag for $50 (HOW insane is that), the sneaky martini mug, and the subtle beaded friendship bracelets!
That’s all for now – happiest of Black Fridays to all those who observe 🖤 See you next Friday!
