Welcome to the Ultimate Black Friday Guide to Bankruptcy

Well, hello there! You've stumbled upon a gift guide that's about as practical as wearing stilettos to the gym. Forget thoughtful, budget-friendly suggestions for your loved ones. This year, we're taking self-care to a new level— shamelessly prioritizing my outrageous, borderline ridiculous wishlist. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to be a delusional girl math-doing, expensive but broke college student with big dreams but no budget, this one's for you; by "you," I mean me. 

Clothing 

From a perfectly tailored blazer that screams effortless sophistication to a cashmere pink sweater so soft it could double as emotional support, these pieces are less "essentials" and more "I absolutely need this to survive, obviously."

1. Avec Les Filles - Hourglass Blazer Coat

2. Ganni - Long Sleeve Wool Polo Sweater 

Shoes 

Let's talk shoes—because what's a wishlist without a new pair of kicks? First, we've got timeless Reformation boots; then there are the red kitten heels with a little pop of color. Finally, the Salomon sneakers are the ultimate flex for when you want to look sporty and outdoorsy without actually stepping foot on a trail.

1. Reformation Gaelle Knee Boot 

2. AEYDE Saba Patent Calf Leather Red Metallic Pumps 

3. XT-6 Sneaker 

Accessories 

No outfit is complete without the right accessories. A statement belt that elevates any outfit is a necessity. Next are sporty sunglasses that say, "I just ran a marathon," even though I never will. Let's not forget the fur hat that makes you look like you stepped out of a ski chalet in Aspen. 

1. B-Low the Belt - Matilda Belt 

2. Holzweiler Lucus Sport Sunglasses

3. Cable-Knit Faux-Fur Trapper Hat

Home

Home is where the heart is—and fabulous decor—live here. First up, a cheetah lamp that's less about lighting and more about making a statement. Pair it with a pillow embroidered with Cher's iconic declaration, "Mom, I am a rich man," because nothing says cozy like lounging in self-empowered luxury.

Stuff I Don't Need But Want...

Ahhhh, the category of "stuff I absolutely don't need but can't stop thinking about." First, a six-piece packing cube set from Beis—because nothing says "I'm a well-traveled jet-setter" like organizing your suitcase into a Pinterest-worthy masterpiece. Will it change your life? Probably not. Do you still need it? Absolutely. Then there's the Laneige lip balm. Is it just fancy chapstick? Maybe. Will it make you feel like a dewy, radiant goddess? Without question. Sometimes, the little indulgences are the most necessary.
