Willa Holland has recently made it back on to Gossip Girl–namely in Eleanor Waldorf’s runway show episode–as a conniving itch plotting to get back at Little J for their last collaboration. One thing I love about Willa Holland is her style. And the fact she’s worked on two of the tweenage shoes that define our generation: the OC and Gossip Girl.

the boy void.
Mother is always asking, “Dawn, have you met any interesting young black men lately?” I haven’t.
The truth is, I’m very picky. At Elon there are two types of black males: the Thuggish Asshole Athlete and the Theatrical Gay, the athletes being my least favorite. You know them. The ones who make obscene passes at you around campus, always skip class, and only seem to care about playing football and grunting? Yeah, them. On the other hand, I really have come to appreciate my theatrical gays. With Elon’s theatre department constantly gaining national attention, the number of gay black males with talent on campus grows every year. I adore their scarf collections and dainty singing voices. The only issue is, we both like boys.
The boys at Street Etiquette, an NYC blog that brilliantly approaches urban style for men, compiled a list of 20 black style pioneers for GQ online in honor of Black History Month. As I looked through, I found myself wishing all these men went to Elon. They’re finely dressed, eccentric, and endlessly amusing. Oh and look! The only known gays in this group are Marvin Gaye and Langston Hughes.
Still, all of these men are acceptable suitors. Next time Mother asks about the boy situation at school, I’ll direct her to this slideshow.

I was recently scouring Ebay for something with a tough look. I came across this designer out of LA, Sheri Bodell. I love the hardware in her collections and all her pieces are moderately priced. Everything about her designs is effortlessly cool. These are a few looks from her Spring 2010 collection.

What I love most about Marc Jacobs is how you know when you see a Marc by Marc piece. I ranted on his Spring RTW 2010 collection in an earlier post. I was at home on break recently and went to dinner with a couple friends in New Orleans. This dress was fun for the French Quarter.In the winter I wear this dress with high black suede boots. Since it’s a bit warmer, I chose flats. What I love most about this piece is the array of fabrics.
My biggest dream is to make it to one of his infamous fashion week after parties.
Mini dress: Marc by Marc Jacobs black floral jacquard silk tiered dress
tights: vintage sheer polka dotted pair
Flats: Seychelles

Great feature story on Gaga in this week’s NYmag. Love the new revamp of their site. Check out the early gaga photos as well as an ultimate collection of her best fits.
“what I’ve discovered is that in art, as in music, there’s a lot of truth—and then there’s a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It’s the moment that the audience falls in love. – Gaga

college is supposed to be the most exciting four years of your life. Housing, meal plans, crazy parties, and greek life all with your parents footing the bill. But one thing they forgot to tell us is that summer jobs and a monthly allowance are barely enough to cover weekends at the bar much less additions to your wardrobe.
