7 Killer Shops to Visit on Black Friday at Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls, USA

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Buffalo chapter.

We’re so incredibly lucky to have a fashion outlet thanks to the tourist attraction and natural wonder, Niagara Falls. For the city of its size, we have such great shops, brands, and deals all in one spot. Just a 20-25 minute drive from the city of Buffalo.

Many of my friends always say that there’s nowhere to shop and that the Galleria sucks. I always tell my friends to go to the outlets but the truth is, I don’t think many people know about them! So my job here today is to share with you my FAVORITE shops and some aaamazing deals for you to score on Black Friday.  For those of you who are totally guilty of being clueless, there’s over 200 brands at the outlets that offer up to 75% off! 

If this list isn’t enough, then maybe this is; Get there early to receive an exclusive swag bag which is available on a first-come-first-serve basis. Each swag bag will contain a mystery mall gift card, valued anywhere from $10 to $100, along with special retailer offers, a Fashion Outlets savings pass and more!!! Here’s the link because I know you’re thinking about it now :)

1. Saks Off Fifth

I am boujee and I love nice things. I WISH I lived in NYC where there’s Saks Fifth Avenue but then again, this is Saks just way more budget friendly. I can find the top designers that are trending but at a much lower price. I was there just 2 weeks ago, I found too many things. I found a red, mini MAC crossbody bag from Rebecca Minkoff for $99.99(MSRP $195). I own a gorgeous tweed one that I also bought from here over 3 years ago for only $79.99. Also, scored a pair of Chanel sunnies for $119 instead of $349. I can’t even imagine what bigger and better deals will be available in just a couple of weeks. They have a great selections of hat now too which are currently trending. I found this one that I liked!

 

2. J.Crew

I’ve always admired everything at J.Crew but I could never splurge on such preppy and business casual clothes that I would barely wear. Now, that I am soon entering the professional world, I need everything at J.Crew now on a budget. Thank god for J.Crew Factory. I’ve been eyeing this coat that every blogger seems to have. It happened to be at Fashion Niagara Outlets for a steal. It was $228 at the outlets, with an additional 40%, then 25%. IF you’re a student, you save 15% on every purchase. If you open up a charge, you get 25%! Lucky me, I had a $75 gift card. I found the perfect coat for the winter for $50.15. I spent the whole night dancing!!

 

3. Levi’s

Where else would you go to get your denim, anyways? Enough said. 

4. Burberry

Buffalo has Burberry! It’s probably the fanciest store in town. They have some great deals that even poor students like me can afford. I layed eyes on a coat for $330 but they didn’t have my size!

5. Banana Republic

Another great store that’s even better as an outlet. Last weekend, everything was up to 60% off. They have the perfect interview ready clothes and you know it.

6. Sunglass Hut

Does anyone else love to splurge on sunnies? I love sunglasses and I buy 2 a year. My favorite brand is Ray Bans. I like that they have their sale glasses clumped together by price so cheapo’s like me can spy all of the good stuff. With Winter fast approaching, now may be the best time to score a pair!

7. Adidas

40% off track pants, joggers, leggings, and sneaks. They even had a $4.99 bin! 

 

 

 

Those are just my 7 favorites! If you head over that way, please share with me your favorite purchases and your mystery amount with me on Instagram @doseoftravel.

Happy Shopping & Happy Holidays!!! xoxo
