We love the sleeves on this dress. Immensely.

YT Clothing Contest Results

We had so many incredible entries this fall for the YT Clothing Contest ... our readers are incredibly chic and stylish in their black and gold. Choosing a winner each week was no easy task, but we finally arrived at finding 5 stylish Wake Forest fans to enter into the random drawing. We assigned each of them a number in the order that they won.

Then we used an online random generator to determine an outcome.

Which was ...

Congrats to Jordan Fashimpaur, a freshman, who has been a regular reader of Chic Deac this fall. Here is her winning picture, from the very first game of the season.

Jordan, expect to hear from Chic Deac about getting your free YT Clothing Contest dress. Thanks to everyone who participated and remember to check out YT Clothing online if you are looking to buy yourself a consolation prize!

In honor of H&M opening at Hanes Mall and the craziness surrounding their opening, we'd like to show some of our favorite pieces from their current collection. WE ARE SO HAPPY. This is a long awaited Chic Deac dream - there is finally a reason to go to Hanes Mall.

Zara is Online

Thanks to a super informed reader, we became aware that Zara now does online shopping. This is simultaneously awesome for our closet and terrible for our wallet. We are particularly hooked on this leopard shift:

and how fabulous are these black booties from their shoe collection?

Happy shopping chic ones!

YT Clothing Contest!

Here's an update from the Notre Dame game contest. We only received one submission (too much time in ZSR to focus on fashion perhaps?) but it's okay, because this would have been the winner anyways. This email was sent out by Desiree Sanchis to several listservs, and we actually got it forwarded to us THREE times. This group of girls studying abroad took a photo of themselves ready for battle in front of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France. 

THIS is what we call being true to your school, chic ones!

Congrats to Desiree for being entered into the YT Clothing contest. There is only one more submission opportunity this weekend with the Maryland game, so start planning your look now!

Retail Therapy

It's hard to remember a more painful Wake Forest football game than this past weekend's matchup against Clemson. I mean that was just really, really painful. Part of me is proud that we were ahead of the No. 9 team in the country at one point, and another is just wishing that we had never been teased into thinking we could win. Disappointment and frustration categorize our post-game feelings that we are continuing to wallow in. 

The only cure is retail therapy and looking ahead to next weekend's game against Maryland. So, we obviously turned to Anthropologie for the healing powers their cute clothes contain. We were excited to stumble upon the most perfect Wake Forest dress that EVER existed:

The velvet piping, the fluted shape. We are in love. Find it here.

J.Crew Jacquard

Holiday parties are just around the corner. Christmas Cocktail or New Year's Eve anyone? Try this J.Crew Jacquard dress on for size. It's a classic shape with a sparkly twist. We love the skinny belt around the waist. Check it out here on the J.Crew website.
