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!

More Warm Accents for Your Dorm Room

Everyone will have a floor length mirror that they bought from Target or Bed Bath & Beyond, but why not add a warm touch to your room with this gold oval mirror from IKEA? It's a classic piece that you'll be able to find a home for in the years to come. 

Ikea, $80

Invest in some Scotch 3M wall hooks and make it the nice silver ones. The white plastic work well, but they don't do much in terms of warming up your space. If you have the time (and it's only May right now, so you DEFINITELY have the time) take 10 minutes to sand the hook and spray paint them gold. This will make your hooks unique from everyone else on the hall. 

Wondering what you are going to hang on those hooks? How about a monogrammed waffle robe like this one from Bed Bath & Beyond. Trust me, a robe is a great investment for the college years - along with shower shoes, but we'll get to those later.

What Would They Wear?

What would the ladies of Sex and the City wear if they were a Chic Deac? This question popped into our minds a few weeks ago so we did some looking around and found some looks for each of the ladies. 


Ms. Charlotte York has a classic glam look about her and we thought of her immediately when we saw this 1960s vintage dress on Etsy. With her big Jackie O sunglasses, she'd wear this dress like it was always meant to be worn. You know Charlotte would be rocking her pearls at every tailgate and arrive with baked goods in tow. 

Ms. Miranda Hobbes is always the conservative dresser. She works in a law firm and perhaps had the more masculine style (and personality) in the earlier seasons. However, Pat Fields began to pay her some attention by the end of the series and most certainly when the movies arrived. She loves the belted look and it suits her well, by cinching in the waist and adding a more professional touch to a draped dresses like this one on the left. This Natori dress is perfect for her red hair, fair skin and professional setting.

Ms. Samantha Jones always has a preference for what's short, tight and plunging when it comes to clothing. However, she really does like to color coordinate and pick solids. Her accessories are always the most matchy-matchy out of the crowd, which is funny considering how unplanned her, um, liaisons are. We could definitely see Ms. Jones rocking this dress from Milly.

The grand finale obviously has to be Ms. Carrie Bradshaw. Carrie's style was what made the fashion on this show stand apart from everything else out there. Prior to SATC, we'd seen Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha's looks somewhere else. Carrie was sweet, yet pushed the line just enough. She'd put on this gold dress without question and probably match it with the same red patent heels she has on in the photo on the left. Plus, she'd love to max out her credit card on its $500 price tag.

Marigold Madness on Young Sophisticates

Young Sophisticates found some seriously amazing pieces, all inspired by Kirsten Dunst's Chloe marigold dress she wore last week in Cannes. We haven't liked Kirsten Dunst since the days of Little Women, and even then she was quite the brat who burned Jo's book and stole Laurie from her (we're not bitter about it or anything). Perhaps she is turning over a new leaf these days, because we like what we see!

Rifle Stationary Preview

Email, blogging, and texting are part of Chic Deac's daily life, but really there is nothing better than a handwritten note on some crisp looking stationary. Apparently last week was the National Stationary Show (which we'd like to be invited to in the future, just think of all the beautiful papers and prints) and Rifle Paper Co. debuted this new collection which we adore for obvious reasons. The gold foil adds a special touch, but we love how each card is a commentary on communication in general. They're just lovely and we may have to order a pack when they go on sale.
