Once the temperatures drop, it’s hard to avoid falling into the Uggs/North Face/leggins rut. Looking fabulously stylish? Let’s just admit it — it’s the farthest thing from your mind when you’re making your way (teeth-chattering) to your 8AM.

CollegeCandy feels your frostbite pain, that’s why we want to give you the opportunity to keep amazingly toasty and fiercely fashionable this fall with a $325 leather jacket from Superdry! Oh yeah, it can be yours. For free. What now.

Students can apply through December 31st on Superdry USA’s Facebook page.

Do you ever feel like there’s a huge lull in your life after Halloween?  Like you’ve gone apple picking, you’ve admired fall foliage and you’ve turned your 2nd grade magician costume into a just-like-new Sexy Houdini costume. And now there’s nothing left. (Well, besides stuffing your body full of Turkey and assorted carbs and pies.) It’s just final papers and exams and professors refusing to move your final exam even though it’s on the last day of exams at the last possible time and  all your friends will have already left for winter break.

Fitness Magazine totally understands that this lull happens. But rather than embracing this wah-wah of a few weeks, they want you to fall into health. How? Well for starters, they’re teaming up with us to giveaway a pedometer, Yogi tea AND a $200 Visa giftcard. You read that right. We’re giving away money. It’s for your health.

FitnessMagazine.com is encouraging young professionals – women and men – to embrace a healthy lifestyle whether that means remembering to eat three meals a day, managing your time better so you get to bed a decent hour or reminding yourself to exercise a few times a week to relieve some stress.  They’re also promoting a new online tool created by Aetna – HealthyIs.Aetna.com, which is a great resource to help young professionals get a better handle on their health and health care costs as they prepare to embark on their career paths.  Find out more by checking out their Live Smart Page (also check it out for a chance to enter another great $300 giveaway)

Fall is officially here and I’m drinking Pumpkin Spice Lattes like there is no tomorrow. When I’m not chugging down $45 drinks, I’m splurging on sweaters, apples (nothing like a crisp fall apple) and fall-foliage-inspired clothing. Which means one thing. I’m broke. Damn that burnt orange zip-up that I just had to have. Anyways if you’re also fall-broke like me, don’t worry, because we have a treat for you. The ultimate fall accessory to top of your new wardrobe — Lauren Conrad Jewelry! Your favorite stylish galpal is giving away FOUR necklaces to FOUR lucky readers.

You can’t pass a magazine rack, turn on the TV or browse online without hearing about Lauren Conrad. She’s made a name for herself as an actress, fashion designer and New York Times bestselling author. In 2009, Lauren launched her LC Lauren Conrad collection exclusively at Kohl’s. Her collection includes casual, bohemian-chic apparel, shoes and accessories. Each piece illustrates her own take on fashion and personal style. Check out the entire jewelry collection here.

Who doesn’t love a yummy study snack? Or a midnight snack? Or a “just give me something to nom on during this boring recitation” snack? It’s pretty much common knowledge that the treats found in care packages and those snuck out of the dining hall are what get us through the day (and night).

And seriously, what’s the best snack of all? Popcorn, duh. Caramel-y, cheesy, buttery, salty…no matter how you get it…yummy-in-my-tummy popcorn! Whether you’re bringing a ziplock to the library or sitting down with the whole dang tin of it for a movie night, it is — hands down — the best snacking option.

Well, you’re in luck, because The Popcorn Factory wants to set you up for back to school with a tin of popcorn of your choosing! Just check out their Facebook gallery, and tweet @CollegeCandy which arrangement you’d like to win. We’re selecting three winners, so get on it!
