    If You Love Someone, Don’t Let Yourself Go [He Said/She Said]

    You might not like what I’ve got to say. This week, we’re talking about “being yourself” in a relationship. As in your real self. As in, the one who doesn’t roll out of bed looking perfect, the one who loves watching ‘My Strange Addiction’, yes, even the one who will happily finish an entire pizza all by herself.

    What I Miss About College [The Weekly Ten]

    This week my college goes back to school. I’m not going back. Since graduating, I’ve been wondering when it will hit me that I’m not in college anymore.

  • In Defense of Sweatpants

    In Defense of Sweatpants

    Because our first go at deciphering the (ugly) language of sweatpants created such a stir, we’ve decided to give our readers what they want: a rebuttal argument in defense of our beloved, timeless sweatpants. Clap your hands say yeah!

  • Budget Stylista – Dressing Up Sportswear

    Budget Stylista – Dressing Up Sportswear

    This is one of the things that I love about fashion. Designers can be “inspired” by something, and then channel it in a way that is on an entirely different planet than the original inspiration. For example, just because the Victorian-era inspired designers this season, doesn’t mean girls are rocking the insane junk-in-yo-trunk bustle. So instead of the clothes you’d sweat-it-out at the gym in, there are chic, sporty clothes for you instead.

  • The Perfect College Hoodie

    The Perfect College Hoodie

    I am not a leisure wear person. I only wear hoodies out in public when running errands or at the curling rink. I do dress for comfort when I’m at home, but people rarely see me like this. Want proof? A couple of weeks ago a friend came to my building to grab something and her boyfriend told me he had never seen me dressed casually before (I was wearing a hoodie and jeans). After receiving my UNCL hoodie, this might change.

  • 8 Reasons I’m Happy Summer is Over

    8 Reasons I’m Happy Summer is Over

    I spent all my cold winter nights dreaming of beaches and sunshine and getting a tan at the end of summer. Then summer came and I was happy (minus a few sunburns and one month-long humidity frizzfest. Then summer came even harder — 95 degrees harder — and I was ready for fall. I want to accessorize with scarves and see my college friends and order pumpkin spice lattes. While “end of summer” might sound depressing if you’re forty with a real job, fall for the College Candy girl is fabulous.

  • Happy Lazy Day! Let’s Nap

    Happy Lazy Day! Let’s Nap

    I’m elated to announce that today, August 10th, is National Lazy Day. Seriously, this is a recognized day of do-nothing. Go out and get batteries for your remote, set up a cooler right next to the sofa, find the comfiest clothes possible – you’re going to be doing a minimal amount of moving. In honor of the only holiday better than Christmas, I bring you the ultimate Lazy Day schedule:

  • 8 Under $20: Victoria Has a Secret (On Sale!)

    8 Under $20: Victoria Has a Secret (On Sale!)

    Seriously though, Victoria’s Secret is so amazing for summer, especially the PINK line. All of the bright colors, soft breathable fabric, and summer-licious patterns. There’s just something about the store. I’m going to go ahead and blame the countless dollars I spend there on all of the fumes from Love Spell they spritz in the beauty section…

    The Know: This Post Will Change Your Life as You Know It

    I know on this website time and again we talk about how we should put in a little more effort for class, not roll out of bed in baggy sweats and at least put on jeans. But we all know that in the winter months even jeans seem like a lot of effort. Not to mention the uncomfortable factor of your jeans digging into you after weeks of late night pizza fests.

  • 5 Things Guys Should Not Sport to the Gym

    5 Things Guys Should Not Sport to the Gym

    One of the biggest motivations for us college girls to get to the gym every day is the thought of all the hot guys that will be there. Yeah, we go there to burn off last night’s margaritas and nachos, but doing all that burning is so much better while ogling delicious, muscle-y coeds lifting weights, the sweat dripping off of their glistening brows.

  • Single. And Looking Good, If I Do Say So Myself.

    Single. And Looking Good, If I Do Say So Myself.

    I was sitting on the bike at the gym yesterday, sweating out my stress to some Drake, when a cute boy sits on the bike next to me. I was so excited and in luuuurve, but instead of focusing on engaging in witty banter and knocking the socks off this kid, I was wondering if my eye makeup from the day had made its way down my face yet, and if sweat could ever be remotely flattering.

  • Be Lazy, But Don’t Look It

    Be Lazy, But Don’t Look It

    When it comes to fashion, us college girls have standards to uphold. In the fall we must waltz into lecture in a pair of killer leather boots and a blazer. When winter hits, it’s our chance to show off all of our scarves and that cute button down pea coat. Then we enter spring, when mom ships us all of our jean skirts, sundresses and cute tanks.

  • Wardrobe Wish List: Fragile Pull-On Pants

    Wardrobe Wish List: Fragile Pull-On Pants

    The pants look like jeans, but function somewhat like sweat pants in that you basically pull them on and button the single button at the top. They feature back pockets, faux front pockets, and no zipper, so you can imagine my surprise when I took them off the hanger and unbuttoned them in the dressing room to discover… pants that were not actually jeans.

    Day-to-Night Styler: From Casual Cool to Casual Chic

    We all live busy lives; we go to school or work (or sometimes both), we try to keep our lives in order and, on top of everything else, we try to maintain a social life. It can all be a bit overwhelming at times, especially when you’re running here, there and everywhere, and in the process of it all, still trying to look cute.
