There’s more than just sweet potatoes and stuffing to be thankful for this holiday. Some of Store Adore’s favorite shopping spots have already kicked off the season with can’t miss sales on must-have merchandise.

Shrine to all things luxe, Net-A-Porter is currently offering 50% many of its fab finds. In the perfect shade of neutral nude, I’ll be strutting in these Christian Louboutin stilettos (originally $965, now $579) long into spring.

E-commerce fave Shopbop.com has thousands of great items on sale including this one shoulder dress by ADAM (originally $495, now $247.50). With an easy draped silhouette and elegant hand-gathered rusching at the shoulder, its forgiving shape makes it the perfect dress for New Year’s Eve – you won’t feel self-conscious after a few glasses of bubbly. Shopbop customers can take advantage of an extra special offer through the weekend, earning $50 off when spending more than $250, $100 off when spending more than $500, $250 off when spending more than $1000 and $500 off when spending more than $1500 (enter THANKS2U upon check-out).

Revolve Clothing has launched it’s biggest sale ever with upwards of 9,000 items available for more than 50% off. I’ll be doing my best Blair Waldorf come December in this hunter green chiffon dress by Julie Haus (originally $315, now $221).

Robertson’s Diavolina is the perfect place for stocking up on the season’s hottest clothes and accessories. This week, fashion-followers can stock up on lustworthy items at 50% off, including this Mike & Chris leather jacket (originally $828, now $414). The buttery soft crinkled leather jacket stylishly straddles the line between Downtown edgy and Uptown chic.

Once the turkey hangover wears off on Friday, run (don’t walk!!) to Arcade, LA’s newly-opened den of glamour, for 50% off fall merchandise. These elegant hand-embroidered bags by Bird (originally $920, reduced to $460, call 323-944-0018) are the perfect way to invest in spring’s key boho tribal trend.

There’s no better time to indulge in life’s little luxuries…

Announcing the latest Store Adore deal: 20 percent off any purchase at Black Label Boutique.

The epitome of effortless chic is California style: the laid back, but always together look that is sprawled across todays glossies. E-shop Black Label Boutique embraces the casual side of Cali fashion and makes it available to everyone with a collection of hoodies and dresses, biker jackets, boots and accessories from boutique labels we’ve come to associate with the West Coast. For a look that is relaxed, but never sloppy, and casual, but never dull, Black Label Boutique supplies all the Cali-cool necessities, now at 20 percent off!

Fun, flirty, and fuss-free, this Ombre Tube Dress from Sky (regularly $189, Store Adore Price $151.20) is the proof of the provocative power of a seductive silhouette. Cut to graze all the right places, splashes of yellow and grey make this piece scream “playful” not “prowling”.

The true California girl can’t escape her hippie roots, and the “One of a Kind” Gold Peace Necklace (regularly $165, Store Adore Price $132) is the perfect way to add a dash of counter culture couture to your wardrobe. The sparkling gold pendant against the more earthy leather braid is a true balance of rugged and refined.

Admittedly, all these sales are testing my self-discipline in major ways (especially before the holidays). But I do enjoy the rush of passing sign after sign advertising SALE or 50% OFF as I walk down my favorite boutique-laden streets. With family rolling in for Thanksgiving, I hardly have time to scour the sales at my top shopping spots, which means I’m power shopping my favorite stops online. Thank you, internet.

Naturally, my first online stop was SHE boutique because, well, it’s always my first stop, whether I’m headed to a wedding, an interview, or I just need a little something to lift the spirits. I love their clean aesthetic and their classic clothes with a modern twist. In poring over goods from Jill Stuart, Use/Unused, YaYa, Jodi Arnold and Thayer, I discovered my new winter obsession:

This hooded wrap, by Society for Rational Dress, is going to become my new winter uniform. It’s cozy yet polished and works on it’s own over a tee or offers personality to other cold weather gear, like a dressy wool coat. I plan on living in this all winter.

But the best part of my discovery? It seems SHE is giving their adoring fans something extra to be thankful for. See, when the website asks you for a coupon or code, simply type in SHEsavesnov for an extra 30% off! Which means that I’ll score this $315 coat for only $220.50. Yup, I’m thankful for SHE.

But this isn’t the time to procrastinate: visit the SHE website immediately! The sale runs only until the end of November.

It’s supposed to be the biggest shopping day of the year, and judging by the percentage of merchandise already on sale at Tysons Corner this weekend, we’re in for a terrific Black Friday.

We’ve always loved Ravinstyle, the interactive boutique featuring the profiles of stylish women from the real world (mostly models and fashion editors), who inspire shoppers by modeling outfits pulled from the site’s stash of independent designers. These days, we really love Ravinstyle, since the Ravinstyle team not only selected us to appear in their upcoming campaign (we’re not worthy!) but they also made us feel like superstars throughout. (What could be better than a “work day” spent getting your hair and makeup done, pulling together your dream outfit, and striking a pose?)

Ravinstyle’s M.O. is to ask its “models” to select clothing that reflects their own personal sense of style. While Meredith favors the muted classics paired with of-the-moment accessories, Cristina’s closet is all business, with an added dash of sass. Check out the feature on Meredith and Cristina, and browse for the items Store Adore’s two leading ladies loved so much. (Meredith’s already been seen wearing the Plume Feather Headband around the office.)

PS. Don’t forget that you can save $25 on a $100 purchase at Ravinstyle. Just enter “StoreAdore” at checkout. Click here for details.

The temperature in New York—where Store Adore offices grace the Madison Avenue sidewalk—has gone from “oh, winter is here” chilly, to “good God am I in the Arctic!?” frigid over the past few days. We need gloves! The Echo Bow Gloves (regularly $125, Store Adore price $100) that Cristina sported are elegant in a classic black leather, or with a swanky metallic twist. Both color options are adorned with an eye-catching bow detail, and the leather is treated with aloe that moisturizes you hands with every wear!

Cristina is known in the office for her fascinating scarves. Yes, the woman grew up with a super-stylish female force in the form of her mom, Rosalia, but that doesn’t mean the rest of us should have to live without the stunning color and pattern influences that go into Ms. Miller’s everyday ensemble! It’s no surprise to us that Cristina singled out this gorgeous and interesting Tolani Scarf ($85), or that the whole office snatched it up the second she did. Rich with color and an enticing zig-zag print, this single item will had a whole lot of pop to your winter blacks and browns.

We all know that great minds think alike, so naturally if those two minds both have flawless taste they will shop alike as well. The Cammie Hill Croc Day Tote caught two sets of eyes when our co-founders browsed the Ravinstyle stock. This one roomy tote carries as much as you dare to pack without looking duffle-ish or dowdy. The drool-worthy cherry red crocodile stamped leather doesn’t hurt either.

Store Adore shoppers receive a free Turkish Delight with every Mastihashop purchase of $10 or more and a free pack of Mastiha Gum with any $20 purchase. (Mention “Store Adore” at checkout for your free gift.)

Ever wondered why the people of Greece seem so joyful? Perhaps it’s the ouzo or perhaps it’s Mastiha—an aromatic tree resin grown only on the Greek island of Chios and known for its healing properties such as aiding digestion, clearing the skin and freshening breath. Already a popular chain abroad, Manhattan-based Mastihashop offers a range of products from lip treatments to chocolates to soaps featuring the magical ingredient. This Mastiha Olive Oil Soap makes a great stocking stuffer, and all Store Adore shoppers walk away with a free chocolate covered Turkish delight ($1 value) with every $10 purchase.

But when I’m leaving the office and heading to happy hour, the last thing I want is to look like I was sitting in a cubicle all day (cause I wasn’t!).

Cermanova and her partner, Michaela Schwartz, stock the minimalist space with an equally streamlined inventory of go-with-everything colors on less than a dozen racks. How does Green and Blue maintain a small selection but a big following? Daniela tells us in this week’s Store Interview.
