Fishtail Skirt

Outfit: Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell Litas, Fishtail Skirt - Forever 21, Top - H&M, Belt - Forever 21

It took me a loooonnggg time to find the perfect fishtail skirt. I mean, seriously, I have tried on countless and just haven't found one that works. Plus, I really wanted it to be black. One day, on a visit to F21 I found this skirt but it was in a nude color. It fit perfect and, although it wasn't black, it fit just how I wanted. 

(NOTE: Be nice to sales associates, they will help you in your time of need.)

As I was paying for my items, chatting up with the F21 employee, I mentioned I had really been look for a black fishtail skirt. She looked up, told me to wait one second, and returned from the stock room with a box full of my skirt in black. She told me that it just came in today and pulled out my size. 

This skirt is perfect I've been wearing it with black opaque tights lately and I just love the way the tail flows behind me. For those of you still in search of the perfect fishtail skirt, don't give up. Your skirt is out there somewhere ;-)

Favorite Christmas Gift

            

 Outfit: Jacket - Chicwish, Boots - Jeffrey Campbell Taupe Litas, Jeans - Joe's


Ryan gave me this jacket for Christmas this year. Can you say, "best present ever?" How did he know to get me this jacket from Chicwish? Just a few subtle hints ;-)

I had seen this jacket worn by a few people on LookBook and I had been lusting over it forever, but during the holidays it's hard to justify a purchase like this. That is why I couldn't have been happier when I opened it up Christmas morning. It's such a striking jacket. Whenever I wear this coat, I get so many compliments. I think the large plaid print combined with oversized lapels and shape help to make it an effortless piece. Not to mention how cozy it is!

PS - My second best present were my taupe suede Litas :-)

It's Christmas In Cali

Outfit: "Ugly" Sweater - Thrifted by Danielle Pavlecic ($4), Jacket - H&M ($30), Boots - Jeffrey Campbell Litas ($165)

Anyone who knows me personally, knows I am obsessed with the Christmas season! I listen to Christmas music on the radio, watch Christmas movies over and over again (sometimes four times in one day) and can not stop buying festive clothing.  I will have to take a picture of our gigantic Christmas tree for you guys tomorrow. It is breath-taking! Our tree is covered top to bottom with ornaments, there is probably only one or two branches free for decoration. The special part is that almost all our ornaments have special meaning. My Mom and I collect them from places we visit and such.

Anyways, on to the clothes! I attended an Ugly Sweater party at a friends house recently and didn't have time to stop by a thrift store and find one for myself, so I told my very good friend Danielle to pick me up one on her trip out. Danielle got a little excited shopping and ended up with not two for us, but four "ugly" sweaters. When I met up with her and saw this one, I not only decided to wear it but I actually thought it was really cute (so did Danielle) :)

So I worked it into my wardrobe and have been wearing it quite a bit! 

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you get all you ask for and more!

Love you all!

Faux Leather Pants

 Outfit: Faux Leather Pants - Forever 21 ($20), Boots - Jeffery Campbell ($165), Sweater - H&M ($18), Scarf - H&M ($7)

I bought these leather pants at Forever 21 a year ago and have worn them only once. Well, you all know how I feel about not giving my clothes enough attention so I pulled these out and decided to wear them yesterday. Once again, I fell in love with them. The details are my favorite part about them. Leather pants become to much more interesting with a few added details such as the seams along the knees and zippers at the ankle. 

I am still recovering from my stressful all-nighter this weekend at Versace for H&M, but I promise to post all my goodies tonight. Also, be sure to "like" The Fleur de Fashion on Facebook for all the latest Black Friday sales (both online and in stores). Must head for out for Thanksgiving grocery shopping.
