As a 20-something lifestyle and fashion influencer, I’ve got a running list of things I’ll be treating myself to this month, and I’m not just jumping on any old trend. These are finds that I actually need, love, and will happily spend my hard-earned money on (because let’s be real, we’re all here for that little serotonin boost a fab purchase brings).
Black Friday 2024 Wishlist
So, what am I snapping up this Black Friday? We’re talking gym gear to get me motivated, beauty essentials I can’t live without, and chic wardrobe staples that I’ll actually wear over and over. Whether you’re looking for a bit of inspo for your own list or just wondering what’s worth the splurge, keep reading. And who knows, you might just find your next must-have too.
Black Friday shopping can be overwhelming (the emails, the pop-ups, the countdown timers), but it’s also a goldmine for those pieces you really want. Instead of scrolling aimlessly, I’m approaching my list with purpose. I’ve narrowed it down to what I know I’ll love, use, and share with you on my socials.
Keep your eyes peeled for all my exclusive discount codes and links throughout this list, where you can snag even bigger savings on your order! And just a heads-up: I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through these links: no extra cost to you, just a little love back to support what I do!
Gym Gear That Makes Me Want to Work Out
After a whole year of trying (and sometimes failing) to stay consistent with workouts, it’s time to add some cute new gym pieces to my collection. I’m eyeing those sets that are both supportive and stylish because let’s be real, sometimes looking the part is half the motivation.

Fashion Finds I’ll Actually Wear
Gone are the days of buying things just because they’re trendy or cheap! I’m focused on investing in pieces that fit my style and that I can see myself wearing on repeat. Think classic jeans, cozy knits, and versatile jackets: the kind of staples that look amazing but feel effortless.
PLT RACER JACKET: £21
BROWN OFF SHOULDER JUMPER: £16
OVERSIZED SCARF: £12
My absolute favourite way to style a big, chunky scarf is by wrapping it as a balaclava: it’s cozy, chic, and makes a real statement! Over time, I’ve mastered the art of wrapping scarves in the most flattering ways, so you can bet I know how to turn any scarf into a stylish winter essential. Check out some of my favourite scarf looks in the video below for all the tips and tricks you need to make any scarf look effortlessly cool!
H&M JUMPER: £21
Jewellery That Adds a Touch of Glam
A great piece of jewelry is one of those things that can instantly elevate your look, and I’m all for finding quality, timeless pieces that I’ll wear year-round. I’ve already got my eye on a few rings and dainty necklaces that’ll go perfectly with anything, from a casual tee to a night-out look.
Most of my jewelry collection comes from Abbott Lyon: they’re truly my go-to brand for stunning, quality pieces. I’ve been working with them as an influencer for a while now, and I absolutely love their designs! They haven’t fully announced their Black Friday sale yet, but I’m keeping an eye out for the big discounts.
