Gaga for Graphics

We've been slightly obsessed with graphic posters as of late and the plethora to sort through on Pinterest have just left us wanting more. We've found a bunch that would be a perfect accent for your Wake inspired dorm room this fall:

Jason Munn Biker Poster

For the Procrastinator's Workspace?

When Life Hands You Lemons

Hopefully you'll have a lot of bright ideas at 2am when you finally start that paper ...

We've Reached the Big 3-0-0

Dear Chic Ones,


Thanks for reading frequently enough to keep us inspired to reach the big 300 post milestone. 300 may not actually be a milestone, but we feel like maybe it means we've moved on from our amateur stage. We're continually surprised by how many of you are reading up on fashionable finds for the Wake Forest fan - sometimes multiple times per day (you know who you are and you should also know we love you for it). 


It has been a long year for Wake Forest sports, and therefore Wake Forest spirit. We're hopeful that the future looks brighter. By hopeful, we sort of mean that it couldn't possibly get worse. We knocked on wood after typing that last sentence, because the hits have certainly kept on coming. 


We're certainly not done posting and look forward to a much more spirited (and winning) year ahead. This has been an incredible amount of fun for us and that's largely because you keep coming back to see what we have to share. We've been so lucky to have you and hope you've felt slightly luckier to have our blog in your life too!


xoxo,
Chic Deac

Wanna Feel Old?

BuzzFeed compiled an incredible (and sad) list of things that will make you feel old. Like the fact that this year's freshmen were born in 1993. Yikes. Here are some of our favorites:

Kids These Days Will Have No Idea What Rewinding Is

The Macarena is 16 Years Old

This one is supposed to be sad because it was taken in 1990. We are more saddened by the fact that Cameron Diaz apparently has access to the fountain of youth and has yet to share its secret location with the rest of us. 

Khaki Chic

We've finally got our invite for Pinterest, and following in the footsteps of Style of a 20-Something, we'll shortly be sharing our creative boards with you. It's safe to say that this is a bona fide addiction. Anyways, we've found some great pieces from the various people we're following over there and combined them into one chic summer look. 

Michael Kors Sunglasses, $98

Black and White Striped Tee, $77

Patent Leather Belt, $22

ASOS Fit and Flare Skirt, $65

The Initial Touch

In case you have not yet caught on to this fact, Wake Forest gals love a good monogram. I mean they really love a good monogram - on bath towels, on bedspreads, on tote bags, on jewelry, on pencil cases, and even on jeans. Yes, jeans. Chic Deac has seen a girl on campus who actually takes the time to bring jeans to a shop and put a monogram on the back pockets. We do not endorse monogramming everything in your life and certainly not jeans, in case that girl is one of our readers. There is such a thing as too much monogramming. However, we would like to officially endorse using your initials to add a warm touch to your dorm room this fall. Check out some of the ideas we found:

Yarn Covered Letters

Ribbon Letters (a Refurbished Idea from Martha Stewart Weddings)

Wine Cork Letters - Buy on Etsy or DIY

Apparently ...

The Deacon makes guest appearances at weddings. After blogging about people wearing black and gold for nearly a year now in a pretty dedicated fashion (minus exam periods which simply do not count) we would hope that he appears at ours too. We think he owes us. 

Summer Cocktails

We are loving this Indah one shoulder ruffle dress and trying to think of something we need to wear it to this summer. Paired with gold accessories and a decent tan, this would be a stunning summer cocktail look!
