Sale Radar:
*Updated as of Tuesday, November 25th
OSEA Malibu (PRIYANKA10): This is a SIBAL staple turned cult-favorite clean skin and body care line. You don’t have to take my word for it—their award-winning body oil was name checked by multiple people I spoke to for this gift guide! It makes sense—that body oil is my favorite too, but I also love their thick body butter for winter, this seaweed body polish my sister turned me onto, and I’m dying to get my hands on this Vagus Nerve Bath Oil in case anyone needs gift ideas for me! Their sets are steeply discounted for Black Friday—this one combines their most popular products and gets you into free gift territory (with $48 savings), but my standout has to be this duo—you get two full-sized favorites for $50ish! It makes for a wildly good gift or treat for yourself. If you spend $125 between now and 12/1, they’ll include their travel-sized set of body oil, wash, body balm and serum. Travel-size is usually code for tiny, but these are all pretty substantial (a few are pictured below), plus they’re products that you’ll actually want to use (or gift)! The gifts keep getting better the more that you spend, plus my code applies on top of the discounted prices, so take advantage!
Reformation (25% off): This has been a SIBAL staple sale for years, and with a discount like that, it’s not hard to see why! The highlights obviously include cashmere—their boyfriend sweater and this cardigan are OGs, and this navy oversized number is giving Ophelia vibes. But it’s worth sticking around for their denim (Ref’s denim used to be horrible, but they REALLY turned it around) and the shoes (calf hair flats and these perfect going out boots, anyone??). I for one have my eye on outerwear, including this simple suede coat, a perfectly oversized denim jacket, and this fitted leather blazer that I’m praying comes back around!!!
J.Crew (40% off): Another SIBAL favorite! Hits include these leather tech gloves (and for the boys!), and all the Fair Isle, tartan, velvet, and cashmere you can imagine! Don’t forget Christmas PJs, of course. And it wouldn’t be a J.Crew sale without a few great cotton sweaters either (love that one for men!).
*The Great (25% off): Seasonal colors of their signature sweatsets are discounted (they make several styles, but these are my favorite sweatshirts and pants). I love their dark reds and that quartz color in particular. This gorgeous lace dress reminds me of Loretta Caponi (here’s a top version), and this slouchy tank has an effortlessly cool fit. Our beloved sweatshirt socks didn’t make the sale cut, but they’re still worth grabbing!
Doen (30ish%): Doen’s sale runs summer-y, but it includes a surprising number of good pieces. My favorites are this antique linen-inspired number (Doen does little summer dresses so well) and this crocheted beauty (can you even?!), but keep an eye out for romantic white tops, maxi dresses, and polished tunics too.
Shopbop (25% off): Have I influenced you to buy these pants yet? If not, now’s the time! I would be lost without them, especially this time of year. While you’re here, I love all things Róhe, these Ref boots (still going strong three years later!), and a classic denim chore jacket. Hunza G and FreeCitys are always worth checking out on sale, and don’t skip the beauty section—Retrouvé and Furtuna made the cut!
Todd Snyder (30% off): I’ve been told that I haven’t been sharing enough for the boys lately. Point taken! IMO, Todd Snyder is one of the best stops for classic menswear pieces (and a few fun ones too!). I love this classic cashmere crew, straight-fit twill chinos (that color!), and this sweater polo (how adorable??!). I got myself this fab jacquard shirt jacket earlier this year (influenced by
!)—I pair with white tanks and jeans or the black pants above. And if he wears a size large, today’s his lucky day!Roz Hair (20% off): A SIBAL all-timer! Their shampoo and conditioner are the OGs—they keep my hair manageable and soft and smell SO nice without being overpowering. This set adds their lightweight leave-in for heat protectant/help taming frizz, and it gets you to the $125 mark (where they throw in their deep conditioning mask)! Also an essential: Their root lift spray—if you want to make your at-home blowouts look professional, you need it.
Violet Grey (20% off $250+): VG is one of my favorite places to shop in general, and with a discount is the best way to do it! On top of all the splurgy beauty/ skincare—VB (this lip tint and contour are OGs), Fara Homidi (I love her new lip oil and this cream foundation duo), 111Skin (black and pink masks forever!)—there are a million and one giftable things you shouldn’t miss. Their new Madame Grey Zodiac Candles are divine and SO chic. This gorgeous red vanity case by Saie is at the top of my Christmas list (and is $45 pre-sale!). And if you need extras to get to $250, this clean kohl eyeliner and brow gel are godsends.
Leset (30% off): I tend to treat myself to a new lounge set around this time of year, and this pointelle set (top here) was my Black Friday treat of choice last year. It’s gotten so much use (and so many compliments!) since. Their Margo tees also came out on top against at least a dozen others white t-shirts I tried. And I’m eyeing these stirrup leggings as well.
Dermstore (up to 30% off): So many of the best beauty brands are between 20-30% off here with no minimum spend. You can rack up big savings on UBeauty at 20% off (that duo is my favorite, but I also love their rich cleansing balm and insane body moisturizer) and 111Skin’s masks at 25% off (I love these ones for undereyes, and these for a full-face moment), but other SIBAL favorites on sale include Goop’s famous scalp scrub, Susanne Kaufmann’s luxe bath oil, BeautyStat’s simple eye cream, and Christophe Robin’s miracle hair mask.
Other Sale Finds Worth Browsing:
*Eby’s insanely comfy mesh bralettes are buy-one-get-one free. I’ve worn mine on multiple red-eye flights—that’s how comfortable we’re talking.
*Negative Underwear is 25% off with code VIP2025! I’m treating myself to this gorgeous burgundy set (top/bottom) in their cult-favorite whipped fabric.
*Lots of good Nili Lotan pieces got markdown/are still returnable—I ordered these jeans in dark wash and cream, and this thin v-neck sweater. Plenty of menswear made the sale cut too!
*I still need a few to go through Net’s sale edit, but some early highlights include staple Khaite cashmere, Guest in Residence fringe, and this LouLou de Saison cashmere sweatsuit.
*Clyque’s (30% off with THANKFUL) sale assortment doesn’t include their staple Tommy Pant (a Row dupe down to the fabric content!), but I did score this vacation-ready halter maxi dress. Don’t miss their wool/cashmere either.
*The number of people in my life who rave about this posture-correcting sports bra (20% off) is truly astounding.
Boring things I’m buying on sale: Socks, underwear, and Korean sunscreen.
*It’s always worth restocking your white tees with Re/Done’s 30% off sale.
I know everyone sings the praises of Nutrafol (25% off) for hair growth, but it WORKS. They make a men’s and a postpartum-specific version too.
Flamingo Estate’s (20% off) packaging is gift-worthy on its own! This set is perfect for anyone hosting you over the holidays, and this candle is my favorite of their scents. Add the soap brick for a perfect gift under $100!
Pretty much every skincare pick from this newsletter is now on sale, but don’t miss Sofie Pavitt and Dieux at up to 30% off. Not quite as discounted, but I’ll take whatever I can get on my favorite Retrouvé serum! And if you don’t have a red light mask yet, what are you waiting for? It’s nearly $100 off when you add to cart, and I notice immediate AND long-term improvements when I use.
If GP is your fashion icon, I have some good sweaters for you (1/2). My dream Khaite green calf hair ballet flats are also on sale—this is not a drill!
Speaking of investment pieces, Nour Hammour’s gorgeous shearling and leather outerwear is up to 30% off. They’ll still set you back, but for a buy now/have forever piece, take the sale price and run! This fabulous long black shearling coat and this chocolate shearling midi option are my favorites!
There’s never been a fragrance more popular with SIBAL readers than this one by Dedcool (30% off). I also can’t get enough of their softly scented detergent—this one smells like bergamot, cassis, and vanilla (divine).
Some pants for you: This Ruti pair has been a HIT with SIBAL readers, and is now 25% off. These Donni ones are another comfy favorite at 20% off.
*At 25% off I’m stocking up on my favorite chamomile tea by Raazi +
!*I’ve spent way too much time customizing my new stationery via Papier.
I debated between these burgundy and brown runners from Ruggable before deciding on the burgundy for my entryway (they’re also machine washable?!).
Kate McLeod stones are all 25% off—my favorites are the Grounding Stone (earthy and slightly smoky), the Daily Stone (floral and bright), and this seasonal Amber + Vanilla combo.
There are a lot of jewelry brands I love, but Catbird is the only one making pieces I actually wear at prices that don’t make my eyes water.
My intro to T3 was their iconic curling wand, but their blow dry brush has to be my favorite of their products. It’s the only reason I can fake a blowout at home, and is now 30% off. Their hot rollers are also discounted/ under my tree!
I will not shut up about Higher Dose’s infrared sauna blanket (20% off)—it’s seriously my new favorite thing.
La Ligne’s Mercigiving highlights include these chic terry sweats (in the same Colby cut we know and love) and this darling crochet knit tank (that I will be pairing with gunmetal satin Colbys).
Amazon decided to get in on the Black Friday action, but be warned—their site is currently the world’s most garish shade of orange. Past SIBAL favorites on sale include this travel pillow, these face masks, and the Oura ring?!
In Case You Missed It:
The early bird sales from last week are still going strong:
Beyond Yoga (30% off): Beyond Yoga’s supersoft Spacedye fabric is a cult-favorite and a personal staple. This onesie is my favorite piece, but I also love these leggings—the crossover waist is as flattering as it is comfortable. I’m using the discount to treat myself to this simple tank and to refresh my activewear drawer with a set of this sports bra and classic leggings (oops, I got two sets…).
Away (25% off): I have this carry-on/checked bag duo, but the minute I get more storage space I’m adding this flex bag to my collection for the wedding weekends/shorter trips where I still need to bring options... (aka all of them). They also make light weekenders and diaper backpacks—good to keep or to gift!
Brooklinen (25% off): If you’re in need of a bedding/bath refresh, now is the time! I have their percale and linen sheet bundles—they’re one and done with everything you need. This bed blanket is my latest obsession—such a cozy layer for winter that won’t have you overheating. And if you’re always staining your white robes (happens), I like their new checkered designs!
Jenni Kayne (25% off): JK knew their type-A customers would love getting their shopping done early, so their sale has been running for two weeks already! The highlights include this sculpted cardigan, this chunky knit turtleneck, this darling cashmere polo, and of course this Shitter-favorite linen shirt/shorts set. Upon my latest browse, this chocolate sweater and skirt combo is perfect for Thanksgiving (it’ll probably get to you in time too!). They also make gorgeous $50ish candles (their Sun Valley one is SO good) with a buy four/get one deal if you stock up.
Glamsquad: If you live for a good blowout, this is a VERY good sale—they’re running a promo where you can get two at-home blowouts for $99… if you live in NYC, that is a STEAL, and the convenience of being able to get your hair done at home/in your robe cannot be overstated (they’re also available in LA, DC, SF, Chicago, etc). The packages are already discounted so my code doesn’t apply, but if you want to try it out (or to treat a friend!), BFCM-SIBAL will get you $20 off.
I saw this Monday Swimwear one-piece on Laura Harrier and immediately bought for myself (Code: BFCM25).
Ghia’s better-for-you N*tella (and all their N/A spritzes!) are 25% off—I’m dying to get my hands on their new Blood Orange flavor.
Perelel’s pregnancy-safe sleep supplement + creatine-boosted protein powder are both 25% off!
Finding Ferdinand’s clean tinted lip balms are now $20! Their Black Balm is a standout—the pigment looks like it’d be intense, but it goes on sheer and is very flattering across skin tones. I was impressed with how creamy their liner is too—this is a great set for gifting (and I love their packaging).
Cadence’s packable capsules/parcels are up to 30% off. I use and love both, but the clear parcels are especially handy with or without the capsules.
Our Place’s air fryer/toaster oven combo is PFAS-free and works like a charm.
Shoppe Amber Interiors is one of my favorite places to browse for luxe, lived-in interiors. On my list: This glazed vase, vintage-y frames, and their gorgeous glassware.
Isla’s gentle toner is a full 35% off, bringing it to under $40 (Code: Special35).
Almina Concept’s perfect button downs are 25% off, along with their rest of their site.
Material Kitchen is up to 35% off sitewide. I love this knife trio and simple sharpener, and perhaps not what it was intended for, but this salt cellar has become very chic countertop storage for my allergy pills/ Nutrafol…
I put Moon Juice’s pearl powder in every matcha latte I make, and maybe it’s placebo but I do think it makes my skin look better/brighter.
A portion of today’s letter was written in partnership with OSEA Malibu, a longtime favorite of mine for body care and a true SIBAL OG. I literally have with emails from their team from 2019 when this newsletter first started! They’re pioneers in clean beauty, have always been SO supportive of this letter, and I couldn’t be happier to partner with them!
