Love fashion magazines but hate the fact that you can never afford anything in them on that college budget? We feel ya, sister. The CollegeCandy office is filled to the brim with stacks and stacks of magazines that we can’t get enough of…even if they are as close as we will ever get to the Diane Von Furstenberg dresses we covet.

Lucky for all of us, Lucky magazine, only the best magazine for shopping (or drooling if you are anything like us), heard our cries. And you are going to L-O-V-E this.

With the help of dozens and dozens of fashion icons, Lucky is hosting their annual Lucky Shops event on November 7th and 8th. No more flipping through hundreds of pages thinking, “OMG! I wish I could afford that!” Now you can.

Entrance to the event is for ticketed ladies only, but Lucky is giving two very lucky (pun intended) CollegeCandy readers tickets for FREE.

First prize winner will receive 1 pair of tickets to the first day of the event November 7th (value $130). Second prize winner will receive 1 pair of tickets to the second day of the event, November 8th (value $40).

Hell yeah.

How do you become one of those readers? All you have to do is head over to the Lucky Shops site, answer the following questions correctly and you will be heading to shopping heaven.

Submit your answers to Lauren@CollegeCandy.com by October 1st. We’ll let you know if you win by October 15th. Simple as that. Read More »

CollegeCandy.com has done it again — another awesome bag giveaway! And this time it’s the underground, cool and still up-and-coming KOOBA “Natasha” bag in black patent leather.

This bag is sleek, modern and super cute with its quilted banding at the top and high-shine patent leather finish (patent is all the rage this season). Striking the perfect balance between fashion and function, this KOOBA bag is prominent, yet somewhat understated and perfect to carry you from summer all the way through winter.

The best part? If you win, you’re pretty much getting two bags in one because the “Natasha” is convertible. It goes from small to big with a simple twist of the turn-lock closures. Let’s be honest; it really doesn’t get much better than that.

In order to snag this fine piece of arm candy, just leave a comment about your craziest college experience. Whether it be a night involving streaking with your sorority sisters or a risky rendez-vous with your boyfriend, CollegeCandy.com wants to hear about it. Now, don’t go writing a novel, ladies! Keep it to 75 words max.

We’ll pick the winner at random on Thursday, May 31st by 12:00 pm.
