Style Inspiration: Black Onyx

Black onyx is a beautiful gemstone and it's best accented by gold - leaving us with plenty of chic, Wake Forest themed jewelry. Here's some style inspiration for you this week:

Gold Feather Fan Earrings

 

 

 

Delicate Beauty Earrings

 

 

 

 

Sipping on Cocktails

Doesn't this outfit look like it deserves to be worn at a cocktail party on a rooftop bar? We love the one shoulder style dress and all you need is a great pair of gold heels (these are from BHLDN) and some Stella & Dot dangling earrings. 

Black and Gold Earrings Galore

Thanks to Etsy, we have lots of options when we go searching for our next pair of black and gold earrings. Check out some of our finds below.

These earrings are simple, but very pretty. The shimmery black spinel briolettes are wire wrapped and hung on 14k gold filled wire. They're available for only $24 on Etsy!

These earrings are quite classy if you ask us. The Vintage Romance Bridal earrings have real Swarovski crystals and teardrop pearls - making them a true steal at only $26 on Etsy. 

 

These Lacy Gold Filigree earrings are so delicate looking. We love them for a variety of looks. They dangle but aren't too heavy for those of you who don't like big earrings. Again, these earrings are only $24!

Chloe Collection. Simple. Chic. Effortless. Only $36 on Etsy.

Our favorite pair of the bunch are these vintage pearl and onyx earrings. They look very Eastern inspired - very unique earrings from this Etsy shop for only $40.

Last Post of the Day

We couldn't resist letting these earrings wait until Monday. The bow is endearing and these are very different than anything we've ever seen. Check them out here on Etsy, before they're gone!

Have a lovely weekend, chic ones, and GO DEACS!

Jewelry Galore

First off - Chic Deac spotted a countless number of cute (and spirited) outfits at the tailgate last night. It was so fun watching our Deacs pummel the Blue Hose and we hope you stayed til the end! Please send us pictures of your tailgate outfits. The "cutest" outfit as voted by our readers will win a big prize next week, so send us your pictures! The e-mail address is chicdeacstyle@gmail.com.

Now onto the day's post, we have been finding lots of chic jewelry lately and wanted to do a post with a bunch of these pieces. We can start with the ears and work our way down! These earrings, from FredFlare.com, are a perfect accent to any Wake Forest outfit. The description is very accurate - these classic earrings can go with anything in your wardrobe and for just $10, they are well worth the money!


Secondly, we love love love this necklace being sold on Etsy. It's apparently modeled after an orchid leaf, but we'd much prefer to pretend it's a magnolia blossom. Then it would be the PERFECT piece of Wake Forest jewelry. Check it out here for just $23.


Lastly, this ring is a very cute addition to any outfit. Also from FredFlare.com, it's only $18.


Have a great weekend, and remember to SEND US YOUR TAILGATE PICTURES!
