Didnt make it to the sample sale? Check out Rebecca Minkoffs Black Friday deals Rebecca Minkoff Black Friday

If you’ve been lamenting the loss of those good deals, the Rebecca Minkoff Black Friday Sale is what you need to do with yourself today.

Neiman Marcus Black Friday Sale! Neiman Marcus sale

First things first: I have my eye on a leather jacket in this sale, and if any of you cause it to sell out in my size, I will cut you. With that being said, the Neiman Marcus Black Friday Sale is totally worth a look, particularly if you’re looking for clothes. Lots of items are an extra 20% off the listed sale price, and if you buy things from NM’s gift list, you get extra discounts.

Chanel makes a bag exclusively for Lady Gaga that the rest of the world envies Lady Gaga Chanel Bag2

Oh, to be Lady Gaga. The world adores you, designers pine to make ornate crazy couture items for you, and you have by far the coolest and most moving commercial (Google Chrome) on TV this year.

But the main reason I am envying Lady Gaga right now is because Karl Lagerfeld designed a one-of-a-kind Chanel bag to be paired with her Chanel Haute Couture white tweed dress with black trim. Accessorizing her dress are Chanel pearls, camelias and bows while her white bag features one black and one white flower applique. If you wonder why Lady Gaga had this amazing Chanel moment, it is because of the launch of Gaga’s Workshop for Barneys NY.

I have a major case of Givenchy Antigona envy Givenchy Antigona 1Images via Vogue.com

The Givenchy Antigona Satchel is such an under-appreciated handbag. The design is exceptionally crisp and minimal, it comes in a variety of sizes, materials and colors, it’s Givenchy, fer chrissakes. It’s far superior to the Givenchy Nightingale (says me), but yet, it’s not quite as well known. With Givenchy’s killer slate of Antigonas to come, Spring 2012 might change that.

With this lineup, there’s a little something for everyone. Exotics, stitched details, brights-and-neutrals colorblocking, mirrored patent leather. The Antigona takes well to all of them because of its immaculate, well-edited structure; there’s never a metaphorical hair out of place on this bag. Check out the versions to come after the jump or shop Givenchy via Barneys right now.

Let's be best friends.
