Kate & Jackie

International Business Times wants to know if Kate Middleton is the new Jackie. We think there's potential, but we hope William has the sense to be more faithful than JFK. Let's check out the evidence:

The rings seem to be a great starting point as both are anchored by colorful gemstones - not just a traditional clear diamond. Bold, yet still classic. 

Lace was the most important ingredient of their wedding look and each chose to highlight the tiniest part of their bodies with a nipped bodice. Plus their veils blew in the wind emphasizing their already unarguable perfection. Sigh.

Both women know the power of a great trench coat.

They also know the strength of the skirt and blazer combo, but we do prefer Jackie's flats to Kate's suede boots.

Kate and Jackie are each aware of the rules of style when it comes to engaging with world leaders. Wear chic, well-fitted, neutral colors and you shall always impress. They've even got the same freaking pose.

Red is a stunning color on most women, and these two certainly know how to wear it.

And both know how to pull of a chic hat! 

Jackie O still conquers. If you're a regular reader, you know that Jackie is the ultimate style icon in our book. However, Kate has a very impressive roster of looks for such a young age. We look forward to seeing what she can do to change out the No. 1 spot on our list of style icons.

Anthro Sale

We like to follow companies on Facebook and Twitter as opposed to getting ten emails every day from various people that junk up our inbox. This way, all of our sale info is nicely condensed in our feeds and we can pick and choose. Today, we picked Anthropologie's sale update as the source of our daily "will we spend money we don't have" internal debate. We may just spend it for these cute finds - a striped top and summery golden scarf. 

By the way, chic ones, are you our friend on Facebook or following us on Twitter?

Bows Galore

Chic Deac loves a good bow - there's nothing more endearing and whimsical in our opinion - but sometimes it's hard to rock a bow and look your age. You want to wear it without looking like you did when you were eight. We put together a fun Pinterest board over the past few weeks with some of our favorite mature ways to incorporate bows in your style. Some of our favorites are below and you can check out the whole board here.

We're Baaaaacccck!

Chic ones, we took a sweet hiatus from blogging to enjoy the summer sun, but we couldn't stay away for too long. Especially when we saw this yellow and gray color scheme on Apartment Therapy. This is some nice dorm room decor inspiration, right? Don't worry, we'll be back to our regular blogging routine for most of the summer!

 

The Lemon Dress

Classic

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.
