Hi friends! Welcome to the biggest shopping day of the year. Personally, I have always loved the idea of Black Friday, but hate fighting the crowds. So in effort to shopping a little easier, I thought I would share with you my guide to finding the best of Black Friday.
You will see below that I have it broken down in a few different categories: Fashion, Home, and Beauty. These are my absolute favorite finds and most under $100! I also found a few stores that are doing “site wide” sales (everything’s is on sale) so be sure to check out ILY Couture (25% off with code ILYGIFT), Birchbox (25% off orders of $35 with code BIGDEAL), and Design Darling (20% off with code THANKFUL) for big sales. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Many of these are items I have tried first hand or seen in the store, so I can hopefully help you with questions regarding size, quality or color!
As this is the season of giving, I am excited to announce that I will be giving away 10 $50 Gift Cards to Nordstrom, Amazon or J Crew (you get to choose)! I am truly thankful for each of you. Every comment, email and message means so much to me and words can’t express how much I appreciate your support.
Good luck to each of you and thank you for entering!
Please see the Rafflecopter widget below for entry rules. All rules must be completed in order to be registered to win.
Happy shopping! xx


There will be 10 winners chosen. The winners will be announced on theteacherdiva.com at 12:00 p.m CDT 12/4/15. Winners will have 24 hrs to email me (theteacherdiva@gmail.com) to claim their prize. If winners do not email in 24 hrs, a new winner will be selected and contacted by me. Thank you and good luck!
