Pea coats, please.

I know that pea coats are hardly a new trend but one thing I love to see every winter are all the great colors!  Anyone can rock a classic black peacoat, but sometimes it's great to find a fun, colorful one to best suit your personality!

Essie giveaway!

Hi everyone!  I know I said would be posting a giveaway on College Kara this week and it's finally here!  For my first giveaway, I decided to go with one of my favorite products for this season which is Essie's nail polish Scarlet O'Hara!

This is a gorgeous ruby red that would be wonderful for the holidays!  It has just a hint of shimmer to it and looks gorgeous both in and out of the bottle!

You can get a closer look at this color on Essie's website here!

There are only two rules for this giveaway and they are both very simple!

1.  You must be following College Kara's blog.

2.  You must be following College Kara on twitter.

You can access these options through the Rafflecopter widget below (which is how I will randomly select a winner!)

This contest closes on December 11th, so you have plenty of time to enter!

Best of luck to all of you!

Thanks(giving) a bunch.

Hey everyone!  I know it's been a while since I've been able to blog, but I will have more time now that the semester is winding down!  I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I had to stay up at school for work this weekend, but lucky for me, my parents and one of my brothers came up to celebrate with me!  Here's just a few shots from my turkey day!

My brother Matt and I at dinner this afternoon.

Snowing on Thanksgiving over Lake Superior - gorgeous!

Right now I'm cuddled up in the hotel suite with my brother watching We Bought A Zoo.  This is my first Thanksgiving away from home, but I'm so glad my family is here with me!

There will be a giveaway for College Kara posted this week!  Eep!  I am so thankful for every single one of my wonderful readers!

Happy Turkey Day everyone!
