Black Friday 2016: Where to Buy

Posted on by

Next Friday is one of the most anticipated days of the year: Black Friday! It’s a popular tradition in the United States after Thanksgiving. All shops and companies offer incredible discounts so people can start buying their Christmas gifts.

Luckily, in the past years Black Friday has become a worldwide celebration. If you are looking for discounts on your favorite vintage inspired shops, now’s the time to prepare yourselves for the big day.

Remember to be organized. Check your favorite shops to see any hints on what type of discount might they offer, and check your favorite items. Don’t forget to be sure about the sizing before Black Friday.
Black Friday is like The Hunger Games. Some sites crash during the sale and even if it seemed you had purchased an item, maybe it won’t. Check your email at all times to ensure the payment and order is processed. 
If you order from countries which will requiere customs and other taxes, I recommend you to even buy in different orders to ensure you don’t pay a lot in customs.
Here are some of the most popular shops and brands that will do a Black Friday sale next week:

  • Pinup Girl Clothing. Every year they do a Black Friday sale site wide, which can vary from 20% up to 30% off depending on the year. Stay tuned for more info on their social profiles.
  • Collectif Clothing. Last year they offered a 20% off site wide.
  • Lindy Bop. Last year they had a 50% discount site wide. They are currently warming up Black Friday with sales and promotions.

    Crazy for Tiki

    Summer calls for floral dresses, playsuits and hair flowers. And that’s what I’ve done recently. Last week I attended the 080 Barcelona Fashion, also known as the Barcelona Fashion Week. And it’s been an exhausting week, working non stop during and after the runways. And on Saturday I decided to wear this amazing original playsuit from the 1960s I bought in New Orleans nearly 2 years ago. 

    I styled it with my new tiki inspired earrings and hair flowers from Goldie’s Clothing, along with some bamboo bangles I purchased from Audrey Star’s Boutique.
    The thing is, that these accessories match really well with one of my favorite summer essential, this lovely dress from Collectif Clothing. Its atomic/tiki print is so cool, don’t you think?
    Quick blog post to update you all with my life and outfits! 😉
    Don’t worry, I’ll do more soon! xx

    Lazy Sunday

    Hello lovelies! 
    Today I am sharing with you a beautiful vintage skirt that belonged to my grandmother. It is made of wool in the 1960s, and it is from a local shop in Barcelona where she would often buy clothes from back in the day. 
    At first I wanted to sell it on my Etsy shop (which you can visit here) but after talking about it with others I have decided to keep it for myself. 
    So how was your Sunday folks? Mine was a bit boring. I haven’t slept well and my head hurts a bit at the moment, plus I have to finish a reportage for tomorrow. I hate deadlines, but that’s what it takes to be a journalist haha. 
    You’ll have to excuse the low quality photos, the aim of this post was to show you the beaut I am wearing and I posed in a bit of a rush 😉 Also ignore my weird face above, on Sundays I try not to wear make up. 
    Some details:
    Top from Zara
    Shoes from a local shop

    P.S! I blogged about a stunning Cocktail dress from the early 60s that I also kept for myself, but it is now on the shop, so make sure to check it out!
