It’s that infamous day after Thanksgiving (known as Black Friday) when the holiday hussle and bussle comes into play, you know, the day when everybody and their mother makes a mad dash to the malls to get in on those crazy sales and deals, stocking up on last minute gifts before Christmas.
Although I have never fallen prey to this holiday ritual, I did go online to check out the deals and here are a few of this season’s must-have items — in versatile black — worthy of being on any fashionista’s wish list, found at the designer discount haven, bluefly.com.
It’s not a celebration without the perfect party dress. Celebrate holiday festivities in a classic LBD (little black dress) with a modern twist like the Design History, black stretch jersey sequin trapeze dress. retail: $130 bluefly: $62.40.
The boot is a major do this season and the sleeker the better like the Gucci, black patent ‘Romy’ buckle boots. retail: $865 bluefly: $692.

Knits are a soft and cozy way to keep warm as the temp cools, but bulky isn’t necessary, try a look in cashmere with dramatic details such as ruffles like the Alvin Valley, black cashmere cable knit ruffle cardigan. retail: $615 bluefly: $369.
-
Be chic in the comeback trench. Forgo the classic khaki canvas version for a sleek patent leather look like the Yoana Baraschi, black ‘Bond Girl’ belted trenchcoat. retail: $635 bluefly: $381.
Okay, be real, have you ever went shopping and been able to decide on just one handbag? Well neither have I, so I just decided that all three of these warrant a little visibilty. In fall’s favorite luxury fabric, patent leather, these bags not only have good looks, but charisma too.
