Avery Versus Black Friday

Where has the time gone?  Thanksgiving is this Thursday and I can't wait to spend it with my roomies, but I really miss my family back home in Hawaii.  I remember our huge Thanksgiving dinners and delicious potluck buffet.  November and December are my favorite months of the year.  As soon as November 1st rolls around I blast the Christmas music and dream about finding gifts for my family and closest friends.  It just so happens that Black Friday is the perfect day to find Christmas gifts for my loved ones (and myself).

I've been doing a little pre-Black Friday shopping online and in stores.  I've found some great potential gifts for my family and my friends.  I've decided not to picture a few of these gifts so I could keep the mystery of Christmas alive!  Anyway, here are some of my favorite finds so far.

 

 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 

Of course a few of these wishes are for myself.  It's almost impossible to only shop for others on Black Friday.  However, I'm trying to limit myself to only buying a Christmas party dress, one pair of reasonably priced shoes, a chunky button-up cardigan, and a new pair of earphones to replace my broken ones.  Hopefully publishing this on the blog will help me keep my promise to myself.

It's been hard to find gifts for my boyfriend.  He's a fashionable, nerdy, photography loving nineteen year old boy and if anyone has any suggestions for Christmas gifts, please comment below!

Avery Versus Ebay

It's really fall here in Portland, Oregon! The weather is fluctuating between blue skies, dark cloudy skies, drizzles, and showers.  This weather calls for fall layering and a hefty coat.  After searching the racks in physical stores, I turned to Ebay.  I've had positive and negative experiences on eBay, but I am willing to take a chance on cute, affordable coats.

Ebay is great for affordable, stylish pieces as long as you take accurate measurements and are prepared for imperfections.  This is my top pick for coats:

     

 

Also, I have decided to organize my closet and put a few items up for sale on Ebay.  I've made half of the items public already, and plan to publish the other items soon.  Among the items to come are a Tobi sweater knit cocoon cardigan, a Eugenia Kim via Nasty Gal faux fur collar (73% OFF), a TopShop Hawaiian print cutout skater dress, and a pair of Jeffrey Campbell Matara gladiator sandals (65% OFF).
