The Black Friday Beauty Edit
In the winter months my skin needs a whole lotta extra love. Especially the day after a holiday, I woke up this morning looking like a dry Thanksgiving turkey. It’s a good thing one of my BFF’s favorite hobbies is skincare. Yes, it’s a hobby, and she’s really good at it. Rachel, aka Rocky, has that glass complexion that’s equal parts amazing and confusing. How does she look that good?! Well you’re in luck, today she’s spilling the tea that makes her T-zone shine. In the best way.
That’s her in the middle!
Below you’ll find what’s in Rocky’s cart and what’s on her radar, plus all the Black Friday beauty deals you need to know! I kid you not she delivered the below to me within one hour of asking. She’s now the MC EDIT’s permanent beauty contributor.
Enjoy!

$49 Holiday Sweater – Three Ways
I love how classic this cream cable-knit cardigan is and the jewel buttons just make it a touch more festive. This looks way more expensive than $49 and its silhouette is super versatile! I’ll be picking this up and wearing it all winter long. Below are three great styling ideas, perfect for however you’re choosing to spend the holidays this season.
Outfit 1 – Nothing is more effortlessly cool than a silk skirt and this color is stunning. Dress it down with some cool docs and accessorize it with this bottle of “Sexual Chocolate”. I can guarantee your outfit and taste in wine will be on point for any holiday gathering. Even if it’s just a party of two…
Outfit 2 – I know I keep saying this but you can never go wrong with a leather pant. Everything is betta with a little leatha, and wine. Here’s another one I love from Slow Down Wines – it’s definitely a stand out. You’ll also stand out in these Ganni loafers. They’re perfection. Finish the look with an extra fancy red lip by Hermes and this adorable bow in your hair. No, they’re not just for children.
Outfit 3 – Is perfect for every day. White jeans in the winter will instantly elevate any look especially if you go for a monochromatic top. I love this green quilted coat by Alexa Chung for Barbour. Never have I heard of a more perfect collaboration. Finish the look with a pop of red and a classic converse and you are set from day to night.
Hurry snag this Zara sweater here before it’s gone! Would also make a great gift for any woman in your life.

Warm & Wonderful x Rowing Blazers
This is just too good not to share! Inspired by the Crown’s fourth season featuring Princess Diana, Rowing Blazers has teamed up with Warm & Wonderful, the very label that produced Lady Spencer’s iconic sheep sweater in 1980! Currently run by the same designers who started the company in their twenties. Bloody brillant. Get the sweaters here!
