WHAT’S HOT?
These Black Friday Deals!
Dear Hot Friends,
I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving, filled with good food, lots of laughter, and absolutely no political discussions. Can you imagine if all that divided us were dietary restrictions — like in Roz Chast’s famous 2010 cartoon above? Even in a year that’s been challenging in more ways than one, I know we still have so much to be thankful for.
By now, you’ve probably been inundated with endless lists of the “best” Black Friday deals. And every year, brands seem to launch their discounts earlier and earlier. Truth be told, I’ve never been much of a Black Friday shopper myself. The last time I remember being in stores the day after Thanksgiving, I was still a teenager.
But this fall, I’ve had my eye on a few things I’d truly love to snag at a discount — and this time of year is perfect for updating your winter wardrobe. The weather is finally turning cold, and you know exactly what pieces you need to pull together the looks you’ll be wearing all season.
And speaking of deals…
Every HOT product is 50% off through Cyber Monday.
It’s my biggest sale of the year, and the perfect moment to treat yourself to something fabulous.
Below are my top Black Friday picks — plus a little something HOT just for you.
Lunya Washable Silk PJs $193 - For years, I've heard nothing but raves about these washable silk pajamas. They're breathable, hypoallergenic, and best of all, they can go in the washing machine! This is the perfect time for me to experience them firsthand. I'll take them in this pretty deep blue.
Dr. Dennis Gross 3 Minute LED Device $364
I've been very curious about LED face masks, which use specific wavelengths of light to address skin concerns. This one by Dr. Dennis Gross is highly rated, and Sephora is offering it at 20% off today!
Apparis Sylke Faux Fur Coat $484
For many years, I've wanted a faux fur coat, but I have never really liked the quality of most of the faux fur I've seen. Until I saw these coats from Apparis, that is! A combination of beautiful, real-looking fur paired with chic designs makes these highly covetable.
Stuart Weitzman Gisele Boot $637
This fall, I realized I haven't worn a knee-high boot in years! I have tons of ankle boots and a few over-the-knee styles, but recently I've been craving a classic boot that hits at the knee. I love the fit and comfort of Stuart Weitzman, so here's my number 1 choice!
Maison Francis Kurkjian Grand Soir $140
This might be the only day in the year when my beloved favorite perfume is marked down. I've been wearing Grand Soir by Francis Kurkjian for almost a decade, and people actually follow me down the street to ask me what I'm wearing. Time to stock up!
Large Always Pan from Our Place
This pan has so impressed me that I've convinced everyone around me to buy one! I use the medium-sized one that I've had for over a year every single day, and it's time for me to enjoy the larger size.
And now check out the amazing HOT items you can get at 50% off!
The RESIST T-shirt features the artwork of Patrick-Earl Barnes. Each t-shirt also comes with its own original, hand-painted dust bag by Patrick-Earl.

Dominique Aurientis was one of my favorite jewelers working in Paris in the 8os! Known for whimsical pieces featuring lots of gold, gorgeous colorful stones and pearls, her pieces were coveted by fashionable French fashionistas.
