Leopard, Pumps and Boots, Oh My!

Perhaps it's the change in temperature that has craving leopard print, boots and some suede fall shoes. Perhaps it's the fact that it's parents weekend that has us craving expensive shoes. Alas, here are some of our faves from the Fall 2011 Tory Burch collection. They just look so cozy, warm and chic all at the same time! Find them on Tory Burch's website. 

P.S. - Don't forget to snap some pictures for the tailgate contest tomorrow! You can still look fab in chilly weather, chic ones. We were very impressed with last week's turnout in the contest and look forward to getting more entries!

We can Wear White!

We don't really pay attention to that rule, but we'll celebrate the ban on white being lifted with the Horkelia Shift from Anthropologie and Tory Burch's Julianne wedges. 

Hope you had a lovely Memorial Day Weekend, chic ones!

Graduation Gift Ideas

Parents, family and friends of Class of 2011 grads - check out some of Chic Deac's gift ideas for graduation. Graduation is such a bittersweet time, but you can make it all the sweeter with some great gifts that will help the new alums keep Wake Forest in their hearts forever. 


Demon and Deacon wine from the Reynolda Village Deacon Shop would be an excellent choice. We once saw someone write a personalized note on a wine bottle in metallic paint pen. This makes the bottle a keepsake in itself and a great accessory (or vase) for a post-grad apartment. 

This monogrammed Max & Chloe necklace won't break the bank, but it will be appreciated as a classic gift. Get it in 14k gold to remind them of Mother, So Dear.

A classic tote is a great gift for any woman entering the working world, but why not have a Wake Forest twist with black and gold hues? We love the dipped leather look on this tote and think that it's a worthy investment. A Tory Burch tote will surely last your grad a while, or at least until they have a bigger paycheck to buy their own replacement.

Everyone has to write thank you notes when they receive gifts, and what better to write it on that customized Lilly stationary?

Tory Does it Again

Doesn't she know I won't have $600 to throw around until my summer job paychecks kick in? And that even then it would be completely irresponsible of me to purchase this purse? And that I will probably buy it regardless? At least it has scratch resistant saffiano leather, which means I will be able to tell myself it is indeed a very practical purchase.

Tory Burch Top

If we had a summer house in the Hamptons, this is what we would wear to our fabulous poolside party. Some basic black shorts, gold sandals and a margarita in hand would compliment this shirt perfectly.
