Cyber Monday
Cyber Monday is here! Let the holiday online shopping season commence! Okay maybe I got an early start on a few Black Friday deals! I have compiled a list below of all the Cyber Monday deals I could get my hands on! I plan to get a lot of shopping done today, but I will also be updating this list throughout the day as I come across new sales and deals. Bookmark this page so you can come back throughout the day and stay updated too!
My tips for Cyber Monday shopping – 1) Always read the details of the sale sometimes certain brands or products may be excluded. 2) Check the shipping and returns policies, Cyber Monday is a great time to find Free Shipping deals. I have tried to list below if sites are offering free shipping. Also, check how long you have to return an item. This time of year companies typically extend the normal 30 day policy to 60 days or the end of January, but you want to be sure in case a Christmas gift does not fit.
Find a great Cyber Monday deal not listed? Feel free to leave me a comment or send me an email (karen@ladyinviolet.com) so I can share. Happy Shopping!

This shopaholic is skipping the stores this Black Friday! I love shopping but I hate crowds! When I shop I like to be able to leisurely walk around, trying on a few things here and a few more there. I also do not like standing in long lines to check out, but I don’t think anyone really does. Black Friday has never appealed to me. I will admit I have never really participated in Black Friday, so my opinion is based on stories from friends and what I see on TV. Even throughout the year, I prefer to shop on weekdays during lunch or first thing in the morning on weekends to avoid crowds. During the holidays, the crowds are crazy regardless so all my in-store shopping will probably be done right when the mall opens! I have found in past experience this is the best time to shop. The bonus you can usually get prime parking! Black Friday for me is all about relaxing, enjoying the extra day off from work,and gearing up for Cyber Monday! Okay, I will probably also do a little online Black Friday shopping. I can’t help myself, I love a good sale! I am planning on doing most of my shopping online this year. I want to have everything ordered this coming week to avoid any shipping issues. I have posted a few online Black Friday sales below that are to good to pass up! Monday’s blog post will be solely dedicated to all the amazing sales and deals I come across for Cyber Monday. I will be updating throughout the day so be sure to check back throughout the day on Monday for the latest offers! Until then, I am going to get back to reading my newest purchase, Camille Styles Entertaining. If you are hosting any holiday parties this year, this book has some really great party planning ideas and tips! Also, if you are looking for a comfy T-Shirt to lounge around in while online shopping, this Banana Republic Timeless Tee is awesome! The material is soft with a little stretch. This top is one of my go to tees when I have to run out on a quick errand on weekends!
Don’t forget to shop local this Saturday for SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY. I have also included some of my favorite small businesses with great sales in the below Black Friday list!

Men are always the hardest to shop for in my opinion. If I ask a man what he wants or needs, I usually do not get much of a response. For the men in my life, I usually resort to taking notes throughout the year of what I think they need. The easiest thing for me to buy a guy is something sports related! Autographed sports paraphernalia and jerseys or hats from their favorite team always go over well. Do they have a hobby or play a sport? You can look into accessories for that sport like balls or golf tees that they have to keep replenishing. Even tickets to a sporting event or a day at the golf range are great ideas for the man who has everything. I have also included some non-sport gift ideas too. I like to pair gifts together. If giving whiskey glasses, I might include a nice bottle of whiskey to go with it. If purchasing headphones, add an iTunes giftcard. If all else fails, I can never go wrong giving my dad a gift card to his favorite BBQ restaurant! Have any other gift ideas for him? Leave your ideas in the comment section!

I love a short work week! Only three work days for me this holiday week, so I am wearing a cardigan sweater with a little added sparkle to keep me in my holiday mood! I am a sucker for sequins and sparkly add-ons to any outfit, and I love the buttons on this cardigan! I tend to wear quite a bit of black, so I usually try to pick up a few colorful layering pieces like cardigan sweaters to add a pop of color and brighten up my outfit. The sparkly buttons on this cardigan will also make it perfect to wear to holiday gatherings! You can easily throw on some black skinny jeans and a black and white top to create a more casual look. Cardigans are also a great way to get a few extra wears out of your warmer weather sleeveless dresses!
