And so the chaos begins…
Mayhem ensues as Black Friday begins but it was nothing but decadence and DJ’s at Vogue’s Gold Night Out at Westfield London last night. The Village played host to an evening of discounts at the majority of the stores with free events such as palm readers, make up lessons and style tips from Vogue’s experts. However with stark contrast to last night’s festivities, Black Friday or more accurately Black Weekend has begun leaving stores in chaos and websites crashing with the influx of bargain hunters. Although I preferred sipping Prosecco while browsing at Vogue’s Shopping Event, it is hard to resist the tempting offers of a discount.
With the days after Thanksgiving marking the official start of the Christmas shopping period, we can’t help ourselves but indulge in this American tradition. With only the weekend to navigate through this discount madness, here at CVUK we thought we would give you the low down on how utilise all the great discounts. We are just thankful that it has fallen on pay day!
However, if you do not fancy haggling and pushing your way through the crowds the discounts are also being offered online, so you are able to browse and buy all from the comfort of your sofa.
