Keeping Time

We don't need watches to tell us the time anymore, but they sure are a stylish accessory. The Tourista Watch with a black strap is not for the faint of heart. We love the clunky charms and the ability to wear it in different ways - it goes with a cocktail dress or jeans and a t-shirt. 

Reynolda Film Festival

Reynolda Film Festival by Chic Deac featuring gold beaded bracelets

Chic Deac is going to this year's Reynolda Film Festival. Are you? We're definitely going to see Jason Reitman (director of Juno and Thank You for Smoking) in Wait Chapel on Saturday night and we'll probably be seeking refuge from this rainy weather by checking out some of the other films in the lineup. So what to wear for the RFF? We think keeping it dressy casual will help you stand out ... wearing a regular ole outfit will just be boring. This is the closest Wake Forest gets to a Hollywood red carpet, after all. Our pick for a Reynolda Film Festival look is above. Obsession best describes our feelings towards that bracelet. 

Thanks to the organizers of this amazing event. Can't wait to see the product of your hard work!

Darling Bow

This bracelet has such an usual look to it, but I think it's really darling. This isn't an every day class outfit, but something for a special occasion. It's only $42 and available in a few colors, so check it out here on Etsy.

If Jackie O Were a Chic Deac (Pt. 2)

The Chic Deac obsession with Jackie O is kind of intense, so please be prepared for the constant oohs and ahhs over her style. The Jewelry Box has decided to recreate her most famous pieces of jewelry (with less expensive materials) in a new line and it has made me so happy to know that this exists.

The first piece is based on an early 19th century French brooch that was passed down through the Bouvier family. Eventually it was made into a necklace, and Jackie had earrings made to match in 1960. Look at this piece here for $149.


Next, we adore this bracelet that JFK gave to Jackie O. This would be perfect with a basic black shift and some heels. It's being sold for $139 here.


Lastly, we want this watch so badly. It's got a classic look, but it's especially perfect for any Wake Forest fan. The tank watch was never well known until Jackie bought one in 1964 and made the style famous, so follow in a great woman's footsteps and get it here for $129.


And of course, Jackie O would have had a pair of these earrings if Wake Forest alum and Etsy seller pendredkeller28 had been making them back then. Win them for free - check out this post to see how!

Wine Glass Winner and the Infinite Love Bracelet

Congratulations to Brighid Jensen on winning our custom painted Wake Forest wine glasses. Brighid is an alum of the university and we know she'll display the wine glasses proudly! Don't be sad if you didn't win the wine glasses. You can buy your own pair right here on Etsy!


Now back to our regularly scheduled programming: Paired with a black dress at tailgates or just worn with jeans and flip-flops on your way to class, this bracelet is a perfect way to fashionably display your pride in the Old Gold & Black. I love the simplicity of the design. The infinity charm is gold dipped and the actual bracelet is made of Irish linen. It's from dogeared.com and $70 -- so put it on your birthday wish list!


It would look great with this top from Macy's (on sale for $20) which I love for one of the brisker tailgates in October or just going out on a weekend.
