Burgundy. According to Instagram trend analyst @databutmakeitfashion, rich burgundy increased 53% in popularity in October. ‘Tis the season.
Tall Leather Boots. There is something so luxe about a knee-high quality leather boot.

7 Black Friday Shopping Tips Our VP of Marketing Swears By
Having worked two decades in PR and e-commerce, our VP of Marketing Stephanie Jenkins has a few shopping tricks up her sleeve. Leverage these Black Friday tips to help clients (and yourself) navigate these sales like a pro.
- Plan Ahead: Make lists and build your shopping carts early. Even take screenshots of items for easy reference later. Identify what you genuinely want instead of making impulse buys as the sale is ending.
- Edit Your Cart: Add everything you might want, then go back to remove unnecessary items before finalizing your purchase.
- Shop Directly from Brands: Check brand websites for the best discounts, as they often have better deals than multi-line retailers.
- Google Is Your Friend. Even if you don't find that killer handbag on the site that you found it on originally, you'll find it on sale somewhere online. Keep looking. Remember that a lot of people also do a year-end sale, so you don't have to buy it on Black Friday.
- Look for Everyday Essentials: Don’t just chase big-ticket items; stock up on everyday basics that you’ll use regularly.
- Check Back on Cyber Monday: Brands often release additional sales or discounts on Cyber Monday, so keep an eye out.
- Subscribe for Updates: Sign up for newsletters and text alerts from your favorite brands to stay informed about their sales and get those subscriber discount codes.
