Black Friday: Fashion, beauty retail steals and deals

The term "Black Friday" originated in Philadelphia in the '60s, after the PPD started using the term to refer to the surge in downtown traffic from post-Thanksgiving holiday shoppers.

Some things- like the traffic on the Vine Street expressway and the unavoidable cluster of women heaving over the shoe sale at Macy's- never change. However, developing a good shopping strategy could change Philly shopper's perceptions on Black Friday- for the better. Therefore, this holiday season, add our sale-finder to your list of reasons to be thankful. We've scourged the city for the best fashion retail deals. Here are our picks from Center City to the World Wide Web.
