We have very addictive personalities here at CollegeCandy. We’re addicted to coffee, to Chelsea Lately and to outdoor drinking in the summertime (that one might be slightly serious…). Our worst addiction, though? Clothes. We can’t get enough.

Most people update their wardrobes seasonally; we do it daily. And the fact that there are so many great online stores only fuels our addiction more. We don’t even have to put on any of the 40 pairs of pants that we own to add a new piece to the closet. We don’t have to slip into one of our 14 pairs of Havaianas to cruise the mall. All we need is a laptop, some internet and we’re in shopping heaven.

And where do we spend most of our time? Lulus.com. You see it featured on this site a lot and that’s because it’s got everything a girl could want: the trendiest clothes, accessories and shoes, all on the cheap. And not cheap in a “wash it once and say goodbye” sorta way. It’s just good stuff at a low price.

And it’s about to get even cheaper, because the ladies behind that store are offering CollegeCandy readers 15% their orders from today until August 1st!

All you have to do is type in COLLEGECANDY at checkout and you’ve got yourself a 15% discount. Woohoo! That means you can buy 15% more (OMG, we really do have a problem), and you’re most definitely going to want to buy more. More dresses, more tops, more bib necklaces….

Tell your friends, tell their friends and tell their friends’ friends. Then sit back on your couch with a cup of coffee, some Chelsea Lately and click your way to a fuller and more fabulous wardrobe.

Welcome to July. After the 4th (chock full of parties, fireworks, barbecues, and every imaginable type of food on a stick) the rest of the month is sorta meh. It’s the middle of the summer, there is not much to do and you’re counting down the days until you’re back on campus.

Well stop counting. July just might be the most underrated month of the year. There are tons of things to celebrate besides our independence, namely the fact that it’s National Ice Cream Month. So grab a tub of Edy’s and let’s rock out with our…er…well, let’s enjoy the month of July.

July 4th- DUH.

Celebrate it with your favorite dogs – corn dogs and hot dogs, I mean. Enjoy the fireworks, but be careful because (not ironically) it’s Fireworks Safety Month. Not that it needs to be – the fear of blowing your hand off should be enough to keep you away from those shady shacks hawking cherry bombs on the side of a dirt road.

July 8th – Video Games Day

For my brother, every day is video games day, but at least today he has an excuse. Pick up the Xbox, Wii, or old-school Nintendo controller and unleash your inner child. Duck Hunt, anyone? Read More »
