    8 Under $20: Velvet [GALLERY]

    One of the biggest fashion trends for the 2010-2011 fall/winter season is velvet. The ultra-soft fabric looks and feels luxurious, so it’s great for holiday parties. It’s also warm, making it perfect for cold weather.

    8 Under $20: Sequin Overload

    Here at CollegeCandy, we’ve sort of been obsessed with sequins lately. And why shouldn’t we be? Sequins are fun, glam, and, depending on what you style them with, you can rock them day or night. And while designer sequined clothing can get pretty expensive, these pieces are all under $20!

  • 8 Under $20: Purple Perfection

    8 Under $20: Purple Perfection

    I just love purple clothing and accessories for fall. The deeper and jewel-toned shade you see in stores this time of year are flattering on everyone, and you feel instantly more sophisticated when you wear it (it is the color of royalty, after all).

    Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Kourtney Kardashian is Floral and Fabulous

    Kourtney Kardashian is totally my favorite Kardashian sister (no, I’m not ashamed that I even have a fave). Did you know that she’s the only one who went to college?

  • 8 Under $20: Flirty Florals for Spring!

    8 Under $20: Flirty Florals for Spring!

    Every year, as the snow melts and we are once again able to break out the flippy floppies, we begin to see flowers popping up everywhere. And I’m not just talking about in planters and vases. Florals are consistently a huge spring trend, and this year is no exception.

    Wardrobe Wishlist: Express High-Waist Geometric Pencil Skirt

    As winter break winds down, I’m starting to have nightmares of exams, a jam packed calendar, and having my alarm wake me up before noon. But no matter how much I dread it, next semester is coming and it’s coming fast.

  • 8 under $20: Target

    8 under $20: Target

    And that, my friends, is when you should head to Target. Not only can you get a gift for everyone on your entire list there, but you can also pick up stuff for yourself without feeling guilty. Seriously, they’ve got a ton (and I mean a TON) of really great stuff under $20 lining those racks. I just want it all. And at these prices, I may just get it all.

    Budget Stylista: Glitz and Glammer on NYE

    New Year’s Eve is hands down the best excuse to dress up. But that doesn’t mean you gotta splurge on some hot frock that will look great in pictures, but not so great sitting in the back of your closet for the next 2 years because you have nowhere to wear it again.

  • Wardrobe Wishlist: Summer in The City Sequin Skirt

    Wardrobe Wishlist: Summer in The City Sequin Skirt

    With Thanksgiving around the corner (I say this with giddiness…pumpkin pie, football, sleeping all day anyone?) the Holiday Season is about to hit full force. Which means my search for the perfect holiday outfit is officially on. The fact that I spend way too much time shopping online means that, of course, I have already found the perfect piece to jump-start this outfit:

  • 8 Under $20: Tilly’s

    8 Under $20: Tilly’s

    I’m pretty sure there is nothing better in life than a really fantastic sale section. Especially at a store stocked with things you already love. Take home some awesome finds on the cheap? Yes please! Much like Urban Outfitters and Express, Tilly’s is chock full of really cute stuff at a somewhat “affordable” price. But it is in their fabulous sale section where you really hit the fashion jackpot.

    Military jackets are trendy for fall and will keep you warm as the temperature cools. Here are two ideas on how to wear this piece:

    8 Under $20: American Eagle

    Now that I’m back in school and broke thanks to a few trips to the bookstore, saving money is more essential than ever. But so is a brand new fall wardrobe! Luckily, American Eagle is a great stop for super comfy weekend/gym/off-to-class clothes on the cheap. There are always awesome deals to be had, and here are just a few of my favorite things.

  • Do It Yourself Tuesdays: High-waisted Skirts

    Do It Yourself Tuesdays: High-waisted Skirts

    Like most of you, I am a (recently graduated but not willing to accept it) college student who would rather dish out money for fashion than food. But sometimes, like in a recession…or when I’m really hungry, that doesn’t work out so well. A girl’s gotta eat (and look fabulous), right?

  • Fashion Porn: Skirt Orgy

    Fashion Porn: Skirt Orgy

    Just because summer is over, doesn’t mean you have to mourn. With the start of fall comes new opportunities – including new clothes (!!!). And what’s one piece you just gotta get this season? The skirt. It’s chic and fun and more versatile than a pair of jeans.

  • 8 Under $20: Forever 21

    8 Under $20: Forever 21

    So as I write this, I’m sitting on my lanai (balcony) overlooking the beautiful, blue Maui ocean (yes, I’m on my first “real” vacay in years), which means I’m not particularly keen on scouring the internet for under $20 deals for long periods of time (not to mention, they’re only giving me an hour of free wifi). So where did I head? The mother of all cheap & trendy spots: Forever 21.

  • 8 Under $20: Macy’s

    8 Under $20: Macy’s

    So I know you’re thinking: “How can you get anything for under $20 at a department store like Macy’s?” I get it – sometimes I feel like I can’t even afford to breathe the air in that store and I am doomed to spend my life lusting for everything on the over-stuffed racks. But I’m here to tell you it’s not impossible.
