Reese and Mila ...

Are currently duking it out for the Chic Deac Oscars "Best Dressed" award. I'm sure they're both sitting in Hollywood just desperate for us to wrap this contest up and give them the glory of being named Chic Deac's fan favorite, but they're going to have to wait 12 more hours until we announce the winner of a beautiful strand of pearls from University Stores and a definitive best dressed star. Make sure to cast your "vote" by liking one of their dresses on our Facebook page by tomorrow morning. Or throw Scarlett Johnansson a bone because no one has liked her dress yet. I guess that's what you get for breaking up with Ryan Reynolds.

Some other cute tops from Madewell - ON SALE!

We couldn't finish up on a Friday afternoon without checking out the sale section at Madewell and we found some really cute tops you might like. 

The Set Sail Tank

The Structured Silk Tank

The Sheer Detail Top

And perhaps wear them with this necklace:

Woven Chains Bib Necklace

Madewell Sequin Panel Top

This panel top from Madewell and is very cute. Some all sequin tops can just be too much - but this is just right. Wear it for a fun weekend night out or a sophisticated dinner with a blazer.

Rain, Rain Go Away

Yuck is all we have to say. Perhaps this bright yellow jacket from TopShop will brighten your day.

Cute Shirt Dress

We're loving this shirt dress from New York & Co. It comes in black and tan. The belt will make your waist look itty bitty and the whole outfit is under $60!

Dreaming of Spring Break

Wondering what to wear for that cruise or Mexican vaca you've been dreaming of since January? We found a cute selection of bathing suits we think you'll love to wear. 

For girly flare, check out this American Eagle ruffle bikini.

From Anthro - a one piece that will emphasize your cute waist and give you an irresistible retro vibe. 

And a bikini for the bronze goddess looking to really get a tan. The gold buckle spices up the bandeau top for a very cute look. 

What would these looks be without a big ole floppy hat that lets everyone on the beach or ship deck know how fabulous you are? This would be preferably worn with large Jackie O sunglasses to really round out the look. 

For the 1950s Housewife in You ...

This dress from Anthro screams MRS Degree, if you're going for that look. Get it from Anthro for under $160.

Now we just need to find the apron that goes along with it ...

Bon Vendredi, chic ones!

Everyday Fashion Blogging

Thanks to Wake Forest's Her Campus, we just learned of two new women blogging about everyday fashion. Their everyday looks are pretty impressive. 


Kendi Everyday's recent outfit:

Not too shabby or expensive!

And What I Wore featured a vintage coat that we would, well, we would die for. Some might call that a hyperbolic statement. We would not. Check it out here. 

See what we mean? 

Target Outfit of the Week

We're going to do a new weekly segment where we put together a cute stylish look from Target - just to prove that style does not have to come at a high price. Here is our first look - for that casual spring day heading to class.


A boyfriend cardi:

A pearl necklace with sass:

Some darkwash skinny jeans:

Some sandals with serious heel:

GO DEACS! BEAT UNC!

Miracles happen people. Say your prayers. Cross your fingers. Wear your pajamas inside out. We have faith - our boys could beat Roy and his crew tonight at Chapel Hill.

Stylish Lace Dress

We love this dress from the Outnet. Try it with a skinny gold belt and strappy gold sandals for a chic look. 

We like this skinny gold belt from Urban Outfitters and like the $20 price even better!

Laptop Tote

Under $25 from Target - not too shabby, chic ones. 

Valentine's Day

BEST. KISS. EVERRRRR. 

We're going to give the black and gold a break for this weekend (except on Sunday when we play State) because it is a certified national Hallmark holiday. We picked a pink and red dress in case you've got a special evening planned with a special someone. They are both chiffon because that's the most romantic fabric. 


And in case you are in the mood to hate on Hallmark, boys and all thing's Valentine's related - we won't judge you for putting on your favorite black sweatpants and The Notebook. If only we all had our own Ryan Gosling ...


From Top Shop, this dress is asking to be worn by a woman who'd like to show off her arms. We think gold accents like a clutch and some cute shoes would go perfectly with this look. It's under $80!

This next look is from Asos. And should be worn by the woman who is really looking to wow her Valentine. 

Happy loving (or hating) Valentine's Day, chic ones!

Polka Dot Skirt

Pair this black and bronze polka dot skirt from Forever 21 with a plain white tank for a cute springtime look. The skirt is under $20!

Zara Flouncy Dress

For all of you chic ones who loved shopping at Zara while you were abroad - here's one of their latest dresses. We think the shape is very cute and love that belt!

Match it with this calfskin bag for a super chic look:

P.S. - Let it be known, JTT may not have made the shot to win it last night, but he was pretty darn close. Chic Deac was proud of those boys and saw a lot of maturity in the way we played last night. We're not saying it will turn around this season, but we have reason to hope for the future!

P.S.S. - Chic Deac was not pleased with the student section turnout. PATHETIC. We're capable of doing better.

We're dreaming of spring. Thus these espadrilles:

Stylish LBD

This one shoulder dress is from White House Black Market. The asymmetrical cut is modern, but the shape is classic. You'll stand out from the crowd of black strapless dresses at any wedding, cocktail party or date function. 

Stay stylish, chic ones!
