Happy Thanksgiving week to those who celebrate! Our family chef Nick has been bustling in the kitchen planning for a Filipinio-American feast. He’s going to attempt lechon pork belly with crispy skin as the hero dish, and our moms will be pitching in with lumpia (spring rolls) and ube milk bread!
If you’re shopping this week’s deals, I’ll be updating this list on Friday and Monday when new promos go live. Almost all of these below are the biggest / steepest discount these brands offer each year! The sales can be overwhelming, so I highlighted a few worthy ones to check out first:
my NOT-TO-MISS SALES
**New ones added or updated over the weekend highlighted in yellow!
3 Handbags I love
- All Naghedi bags are 20% off with code MERRY. I love my Mini in Ecru (cream) with removable crossbody strap, and Medium in cashmere (the perfect taupe). I’ve never seen either on sale before!
- The Madewell bucket tote I’ve been using non-stop is now a whopping 50% off and still stocked in my Chocolate Raisin color. The original size easily fits my laptop and more, but doesn’t feel overwhelming in size because it has slouch to it.
- Demellier London: 20% off with code BF20 and free INTERNATIONAL SHIP (!). The one time a year they do any discount! Their handbags are high quality, chic and modern in design. The midi New York is a beauty!
Jewelry
A few brands & pieces on my wishlist I’m shopping:
- Mejuri – 25% off on orders $150+. Got a few dainty bracelets in XS (5.5″) / S (6″)
- HART – 20% off sitewide. Have been admiring their customizable baby heart of gold charm necklace and Percy clip necklace for so long, just need to decide on my charms!
- Ring Concierge – 30% off sitewide. See their best sellers.
- Heaven Mayhem – love this vintage classic earring (lightweight!) in gold; getting the 2-tone now
Anthropologie (with designer denim!
The deal: 30% off everything + extra 40% off sale. Shop their petites here.
- Tip: they actually have one of the best designer denim selections (filter by your size), including rare petite sizing. Many of these brands ONLY make petite sizing as an Anthropologie exclusive that can’t be found anywhere else! A few popular denim picks with good reviews including Paige, MOTHER, AGOLDE, and more.
- The Colette is a huge fan favorite with different fabrics & petites
- Prettiest vanity trays and their cult favorite mirror
FARM RIO
The deal: 50% off everything + extra 10%. This is a crazy deal for them but note final sale. I usually fit their xxs pieces that look midi length or shorter on the models.
- Items on my wishlist including more fall / holiday pieces and some with resort vacation vibes. I’ve tried on both rompers in xxs and they fit well, fitted at my waist. Their non-stretch xxs pieces usually fit a 24 to 25 waist.
NEIWAI BRAS
The deal: 30% off my everyday bra! A longtime EP reader favorite and makes a great gift since they come packaged individually in small boxes.
- Barely Zero Spaghetti Strap Wireless Bra – also in a bundle of two or three pack. See on me. This one remains my most-worn style for everyday wear, and works best for maternity and nursing because of the higher stretch level.
- Newer fixed cup wavy bra (also with a clasp back option) – Compared to their “one size” OG spaghetti strap style mentioned above, these come in sizes like XS/S which fit a little smaller at the cups and band.
Tatcha
The deal: 25% off + gift with purchase at $100+ with CYBER24. My repurchases:
- Indigo Overnight Repair Cream – If you also have sensitive or eczema prone skin, this “serum in cream” is fragrance free, gentle and nourishing. I use it when my skin is extra dry in the winter or if it’s ever feeling irritated or red. Designed to repair your skin barrier at night.
- Dewy Skin Cream – a velvety textured, rich night cream. Still my must-have daily face cream.
Honorable mention if you’re shopping for kids gear:
- $150 off the Nuna Rava convertible car seat in gray
- Nordstrom has several good baby & kids gear deals on our Yoyo compact travel stroller & Cybex single to double stroller, Stokke high chair, and Slumberpod sleep tent.

The deal: 40% off sitewide + free shipping on all orders. Their biggest discount this year. See my fit videos of my favorite Levi’s styles and wash colors + my Levi’s guide for petites blog post. My top 3:

- Ribcage Straight jeans – I wear 24 x 27 length as a full length jean.

MADEWELL
The deal: 50% off with code MADEBETTER. See my Madewell try-on videos here. My top 4 sale picks:
- Essentials leather bucket tote – best price yet! I use this one all the time as a laptop bag / work tote / mom bag, Chocolate raisin is the perfect deep brown with hint of plum.
- Perfect Vintage wide crop jeans – both Altoona & Vintage Canvas are very versatile. Petite is TTS with a mid-high rise.
- PV wide jeans in full length – black rinse wash is highly reviewed, has a little stretch, and can be worn to an office for denim days.
- Justine ankle boots. Great fit in my usual 5 (sometimes I size up to 5.5 in Madewell flats) and very comfortable off the bat for a heel. Only black leather is included in 40% off.
Margaux NY
The deal: 20% off. Huge range of shoe sizes from womens 3.5 to 14. I’ve heard wonderful things about the quality & comfort and have been eying several styles for a while! I take my true size 5 in this brand.

- 327 sneakers – see on me in a different color. TTS.
- 530 sneakers – see below on me in a different color. This style runs half size big. Since womens sizing only starts in 5.5, I bought big kids size 3.5 to fit like a womens 5. The exact color I own (cloud nimbus grey) isn’t on sale, but some other good ones are!

tarte cosmetics
The deal: 40% off sitewide!
- My new favorite concealer: their creaseless concealer which has officially replaced Shape Tape for me! I’m shade 25S light medium sand in winter. It’s creamy, brightening, truly creaseless and looks very natural, plus without the oozy tube of shape tape. Do yourself a favor and get this concealer paw brush with it. Dense yet fluffy and amazing for effortless blending!
- Also been liking their Sculpt tape contour with this brush – so easy to apply and blend
TUCKERNUCK
The deal: 20+ % off everything with buy more, save more.
- All Naghedi bags are included with the good neutral colors! I love my Mini in Ecru (cream) with a removable crossbody strap, and Medium in cashmere (the perfect taupe)

Thanks so much, Jean, for all the info on good sales!
Whenever you have a chance, I’d like to read your recc’s of good holiday gifts for mens (husband/father/bf, etc). Finding a good gift for this target group has always been a “headache” for me haha. Thanks!
Hi Jean,
If you had to choose between the beige or the brindle color for the Oak + Fort trench, which color would you choose and think it’s more versatile? I want both but can’t really justify both. What are you thoughts on the black one as well? Thank you!
Hi KC – Beige is more versatile in my opinion for year round! I wear that one the most. I’ve been wearing cooler deeper tones in the Fall / Winter so that’s the reason Brindle has been showing up more in my pics. Just note that it runs very oversized and is a longer midi length on me, and that the customer has to cover return shipping costs for returns.
Hi Jean!
I just ordered the Wedgies! I have a pair of J Crew straight jeans and they are so big around the waist – even the 23 is too big – I have had to shrink them 4 times or so and now they’re better, but jeesh!! Hope these are a bit better around the waist. I love your posts and am looking forward to the new belt in December!! I am also going out on a limb and trying some dark browns this season. Hope you guys are great and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!! xx
Hi April! Always soo nice to hear from you : ) J.Crew does run bigger at the waist but my weight has definitely fluctuated so I don’t mind some extra room! I’m glad they eventually shrunk down for you. I hope the wedgies work out better for you off the rack! Happiest Thanksgiving to you and your family!!
nice
