There's nothing I love more than when a friend or family member reaches out to get my fashion advice. I always relish in the hunt to fulfill their request, as there is nothing I love more than this type of shopping sesh. A friend recently requested a list of chic items I recommend, and it just so happened to coincide with some stellar sales of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Naturally, I sent her my top picks out of the bunch.

The retailers with the best fashion deals that caught my eye include Nordstrom, Zara, and J.Crew. I was especially focused on fall-ready pieces that can be worn right away and found everything from standout outerwear and classic sweaters to cool jeans, elevated dresses, and more.
