I had grand plans of finding all sorts of cheerful and bright wintery picks for Black Friday (color and fun patterns are usually my “thing”.) Everything I find myself clicking on, however, is black and gray and warm and cozy — and it’s giving me great joy thinking about gifting these feel-good picks or maybe even crawling into some of them myself. The amazing deals this year are ALSO giving me great joy. Hopefully some of you guys are also feeling the need to hibernate a bit, and get nice and cozy this winter.

Warm & Cozy Black Friday Picks

Comfy Cozy: All Day Long

1.  Splendid Stargazer Loose Knit Pullover: Splendid is the best for comfy cozy…so soft, perfectly drapey, and this star pattern is fantastic (especially at 30% off with code GETGIFTING).

2.  Splendid Striped Long Sleeve Tee:  Stripes forever (of course)! Soft fabric from Splendid…everyone needs a good striped tee. Excluded from sale on Splendid.com, but part of Shopbop’s up to 25% off sale with code MORE18.

3.  BB Dakota Brushed Knit Jacket: Ahhhhh…the perfect sweatshirt jacket that looks great unzipped and zipped, at a great sale price. Black Friday discount with code MORE18 on top of the current sale price!

4.  Dior Sweatpants and Sweatshirt: This is a pricey sweatsuit (better with up to 25% off with code MORE18 for sure), but I think it’s the answer to Shana’s question of ‘what does a mom wear to play soccer in the grass, climb trees at the park, swing a tennis racket on the court, and then go for brunch somewhere you don’t want to look too “schlubby”‘.  Put together, but still play-appropriate (and not skin-tight). If you zoom in, you can see that there’s actually a really cool red AND blue stripe down the side.

5.  Athleta Criss Cross Hoodie Sweatshirt: These Athleta sweatshirts are ridiculously soft. The material is ah-mazing, and they come in four totally comfy cozy colors. I have the sweatshirt with the crisscross in front, but I like this one even more with the crisscross in back and the hoodie. Available in 4 colors and on sale.

6. Vince Gage Sneakers: If you’re going to splurge on Vince sneakers, now is the time with up to 25% off with code MORE18 at Shopbop. I love the design of these –comfy, but so chic.  They also come in this gorgeous woodsmoke color.  

7.  Smartwool Socks: I love getting Smartwool socks on sale. You can’t really have enough of these  — so warm, so cozy, and the J.Crew patterns look so cute peeking out underneath booties. J.Crew has amazing discounts right now.

8.  Skulptek Skinny Jean:  You know I LOVE my grey jeans from Lucky (which are 50% off right now), but I tried these on at Athleta (on sale now too) and they are pretty wonderful. So easy to move in with awesome stretch (like I could do cartwheels and backbends in them — if I could actually physically do these things). Note: I sized down to get a more fitted feel.

Comfy Cozy: In the House

9. Love Struck PJ Top and Bottoms: You have to zoom in on this one! The pattern is a collection of awesome lightning bolts. So fun to have pjs that are cute enough to wear in the house all day on these upcoming vacation days. Up to 25% off with code MORE18.

10.  36″ Carson Cheese Board: Shana has a giant gorgeous wooden cheese board that I have been so jealous of…until I found this one. THIS is the cheese board I want. It’s 36 inches long, but only 8 inches wide — what a statement this would make! Filled with cheeses and accouterments, or piled with various tiny desserts or fresh veggies and dips or even peanut butter and jelly triangles. This would be used all the time in my house. It’s 20% off right now.

11.  Leopard Faux-Fur Slippers: Slippers are one of those things friends and family often won’t buy for themselves, but they’re so happy when someone else makes sure they have a good pair.  And this definitely would be the case with these on-trend furry leopard ones (25% off with code DEALWITHIT).

12.  Jaxson Old Fashioned Glasses and Decanter:  These are obviously meant to hold whiskey (which would keep you plenty warm and cozy), but I don’t drink whiskey, so I’d use them for all other types of beverages. Far too pretty to only be used for one type of drink, right?

13.  Exposed Clay Mugs: Additional 40% off sale price with code SAVEMORE. Gorgeous mix and match geometrical designs.

14.  Sherpa Jersey Striped Throw: Sherpa on one side, soft Splendid knit on the other.  Perfection. Comes in stripes and plain gray. 30% off with code GETGIFTING.

Comfy Cozy: Out in the Cold

15.  Splendid Reversible French Terry/Sherpa Peacoat: How brilliant is this! Two comfy-cozy coats in one! I really do think both sides look equally wonderful. So cute over crop jeans and sock booties, flares and clogs, skinny jeans and snow boots, workout clothes and sneaks…OK…you guys get it! 30% off with code GETGIFTING.

16.  J Crew  Beanie with Faux-Fur Pom-Pom: This comes in nine (yes nine!) colors, but I love the simple elegance of the white one. All nine are on super-sale.

17.  Sam Edelman Jeanie Boots: Faux-fur lined gorgeousness! These are in my cart. Click through to see them folded down with the faux-fur popping out. Warm AND beautiful. LOVE!

18.  Sorel Kinetic Boots: These were just delivered to my house and they are super-cool. The perfect cross between a sneaker and a snow boot. Micro-fleece lining, lightweight, comfy and included in Shopbop’s up to 25% off sale with code MORE18.

19.  Rebecca Minkoff Patchwork Jacquard Beanie: Super-cute at a super-great price. Up to 25% off with code MORE18 if you fill your Shopbop cart.

20.  BB Dakota Sherpa Jacket: Like wearing a teddy bear…well…a stylish, sophisticated, nicely designed teddy bear. This is another BB Dakota that is cut to look equally good open or closed. Part of Shopbop’s up to 25% off sale with code MORE18.

Comfy Cozy: Out on the Town

21.  Rachel Comey Cartwheel Earrings: Lightweight and a comfy, easy way to make anything you wear more styled. Do we think I can wear these with the lightning bolt pajamas? Okay, maybe not ANYTHING you wear, but pretty darn close. Up to 25% off with code MORE18.

22. No. 6 Pull On Shearling Clog Booties: I can’t stop wearing my clog booties, but now that it’s getting colder (and I saw these gorgeous boots), I am convinced that I need these shearling-lined ones, so I can continue wearing my clogs all snowy winter long. Not in my budget for sure, but the closest I would get to actually pulling the trigger on these would be this up to 25% off sale. I would totally rock them on nights on the town with the black Splendid sweater dress and fabulous statement earrings.

23.  Splendid Nova Sweater Dress: Yes! This is what I want to wear if I have to get dressed up at ANY point this winter. Feels like pajamas, but looks like a million bucks (such a weird expression-sorry!) I’m in love with the neckline and detail on the sleeves, as well as that it could be dressed up or thrown over leggings or jeans. Comes in heather gray or a beautiful ruby. It’s 30% off with code GETGIFTING.

24. Rebecca Minkoff Julian Nylon Backpack: I can’t believe I’ve joined in on the TME Julian train, but I have. There’s a reason all these lovely ladies at TME love their Julian backpacks. They’re comfortable to wear and look great. How fun is the silver on the sides of this one AND the fact that it’s 25% off for Black Friday!

25.  Ulla Johnson Barranco Tote: I wasn’t going to include this because… Hello, $395 handbag…but I kept coming back to it to gaze upon its perfectness. Small crocheted pom-poms (still within the comfy-cozy theme, right?), perfect metal handles, perfect flecks of gold, perfect boho, but still with a classy feel — and it goes with the Splendid sweater dress and statement earrings and clog boots so well — and it’s included in Shopbop’s up to 25% off sale with code MORE18. So there it is. It’s a huge splurge…but maybe a perfect splurge? Hope someone goes for it!

26. Sorel Joan of Arctic Wedge II Tall Boots:  Ugh. I’ve been thinking about these ever since I talked about them in my comfort shoe follow up. The short Sorel wedges were so insanely comfortable, and I think these would be perfect for winter dressed up or down. Included in Shopbop’s sale with code MORE18.
