best black friday sales + a parisian birthday

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and that you’re stuffed full of juicy turkey, delicious pumpkin pie, and whatever other treats you consumed yesterday! At my house, we devoured our lunch before heading to the ranch, then onto the A&M game. We’ll be at the ranch the rest of the weekend, so while I won’t be taking part of any of the local Dallas Black Friday sales, I will be hitting them up online! Below are the best sales happening today, but be sure to check back on Monday for what is sure to be an even bigger Cyber Monday!! I certainly wouldn’t suggest waiting to shop (your favorite things may already be sold out by Monday).
