(I'm a Brit, so excuse any secondary ignorance from over here)
What date does black Friday fall on this year?

We don't have anything like this over here, sounds pretty crazy!

Thanks Brandi that's great! Here in Australia we have our big sales on Boxing Day, the day after Christmas.
I have a few things in my PUG cart to use the 20% discount happening now. Maybe I should wait a week...:)

Also in Australia here and struggling with this too... last year the discount was 35% off. I don't know if that is a standard thing. BUT it took a long time to get online and order. The site kept timing out and by the time you did get on and complete the order the size you wanted was gone. I currently have a cart with $500 or so in it. With the 20% discount that's $400. I figure I can order today to guarantee the sizes I want for basically 15% more... which is about $50ish?  I am a huge PUG addict and already have about 15 PUG dresses so don't really NEED more wonderfulness but as I said - can't help myself. Good luck deciding!

oh my gosh this all sounds a bit crazy! We don't have anything like this in England!
I ordered four dresses today (and I've never ordered ANYTHING from PUG before)
The biggest thing that sold me was the free international shipping, because seriously, that's so expensive! D: I saved so much with that combined with the 20% off. It probably equals out the same as 35% off when you work out the difference.

Still, if the remaining dress I really wanted comes back in stock by Friday, I wont be able to resist.

Thanks for the info Kara! It's great to learn about others traditions. In the end I've decided to leave it until next week :) fingers crossed I can get through. I really want the red Lana for Christmas! I bought the teal and it's perfect!

I did place my order but only because one of the dresses I DESPERATELY wanted had already sold out in my size while I was dithering ;) But Kara is correct - last year it did come good eventually. And it is an awesome sale. Just because I placed an order yesterday for the "non-negotiables" won't actually stop me ordering more this weekend. Black Friday coincides with annual bonus week for me... SO NAUGHTY! And yes - the shipping does make a difference to Aussies. Although now they have the $28 flat rate I am not so worried! 

As an aside - the Red Lana is AMAZING. I just love it. The cut etc is awesome but also the colour. It's am amazing scarlet colour. Every time i Have worn mine I have had strangers in the street come up to me to ask me where I got it from. I also have the black Lana and the teal fireworks Lana. If my size is available on Friday I plan to pick up the rose print and/or the black fireworks one I love them so much....

Thanks for the feedback on Lana! I have the teal too and the fit and feel is amazing! I want all the colours! I'm after red for Christmas, I'm a red head so I'm hoping the red suits. I've only just started wearing red at all and it's only been a red tee or skirt not a whole dress.

The only thing I'd ( as a NZer) add Erin is for us it is Saturday!

Oooh, this sounds interesting!  Couple it with PayPal's new pay on receipt feature and it means I can join in with black Friday fun and pay when I get paid!  Guess what I'll be doing on Friday evening LOL

  HO HO HO ! LOL seems that " christmas ' as gotten lost in the sea of sales maelstrom , humble ' thanksgiving ' is being cobbled up as well . I mean is anyone actually buying up goodies on black day for gift giving anyway or is all just stuff for themselves . It maybe that the ' holidays' have changed/ evolved into a celebration of material goods and a cornucopia of commerce , perhaps tis good . Exploit ,  exploit each other , Exploit ! ;-)
