Plus, J.Crew winter staples up to 71 percent off.
Black Friday is officially one week away, but a handful of early deals are already here. So to make my holiday weekend a little more relaxing—I want to spend more time celebrating, less time searching for the best sales—I’m getting a head start while the markdowns drop left and right.
At J.Crew, almost everything is on sale, with discounts on new arrivals and an extra 50 percent off already-marked down styles with the code SHOPSALE. Kate Spade Outlet also just slashed prices on its already-discounted bags—they’re now up to 80 percent off—while Nordstrom Rack remains one of the best places to shop this season’s must-have shoes, including Ugg slippers for less. For beauty, you don’t want to miss the sitewide sale at Oprah-favorite brand Laura Geller (you can save up to 75 percent off!), while Amazon’s early Black Friday sale is where I’m grabbing holiday gifts from $24.

Almost everything at J.Crew is on sale: Winter arrivals are up to 61 percent off, while sale items are an extra 50 percent off with the code SHOPSALE. When the sale dropped, I immediately grabbed the Gwen Lace-Trim Slip Skirt in black, which has been on my wishlist for months. But I’m also eyeing this 71-percent off strapless sweater dress and this sequin-covered red top for holiday parties. And for winter cozies, you can’t go wrong with the brand’s iconic rollneck sweater or this cable-knit cardigan.

Kate Spade’s outlet store always has good deals, but this week, they’re really good: A handful of the already-marked down bags are now an extra 25 percent off. The biggest discount is on this crossbody bag, now 80 percent off, which is available in seven colors and features a chic chain detail. The Madison Medium Satchel and Lena Bucket bag make for great everyday styles, and both are under $100. This metallic tote is super festive, and this $30 wristlet is, IMO, the perfect holiday gift.

Laura Geller is the makeup brand Oprah and InStyle editors love, and right now, everything is on sale with the code CW10. I was actually shocked to find the shopper-loved brow gel is now just $7 (that’s the easiest add-to-cart I’ll do all weekend) and that the foundation our beauty editor loves is only $16. You also can’t go wrong with this smoothing primer or the $13 concealer that shoppers say “doesn’t settle into lines.”
