As the mercury continues its steady drop, the discerning Dartmouth fashion lover is forced to trade his or her impractical fripperies and fineries for the warmth of utilitarian winter gear. Fun, trendy items are replaced by boring, heavy duty gloves, hats, parkas and, of course, scarves.

Looking for a fresh way to celebrate the New Year in style? Ditch the same, old boring goals -- lose weight, spend less, exercise, eat healthy, get more sleep -- (you know you'll forget them by the end of the month, anyway) and make some fashion resolutions instead! Here are some chic ways to make your mark on 2009:

Hello my name is Stefanie, and I'm a dork -- a total unabashed geek. I've been known to watch C-Span for fun, download Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus albums because I genuinely like them and tell painfully corny jokes at the most inappropriate times. Honestly, there's not much else to aspire to when you're a scrawny myopic klutz who spent her formative years socializing at an all-girls school. Luckily for me and my kindred dorky spirits, geeks are having their moment in the sun, heralded by actors (here's to you, Michael Cera) and musicians (see former Ivy League nerds Vampire Weekend and Chester French) who draw inspiration from painful years of being stuffed into high school lockers.

Spotted: Dartmouth students having a not-so-secret love affair with WASPy prep-school staples -- luxe tweeds, proper plaids and argyle sweaters. From FoCo to the Choates, girls in knee socks and boys sporting cashmere scarves are ubiquitous this fall, thanks to "Gossip Girl," the television program New York Magazine has dubbed, without a hint of hyperbole, the "Greatest Show of Our Generation." The super-addictive soap opera, which chronicles the lives of Manhattan's privileged elite, has ignited a sartorial frenzy that brings tony Upper East Side style to Hanover. For those who have not yet embraced the aristocratic swagger of Gossip Girl's pampered teenagers (and their preternaturally preserved parents), there are plenty of ways to embrace the trends currently sweeping campus.

In 1992, Marc Jacobs, then a young and largely unknown designer for Perry Ellis, shocked the fashion world with his landmark Grunge collection, a witty tribute to the youth culture of Seattle's emergent music scene. Encapsulating the "throwaway attitude of rock and roll," the clothes were luxe versions of the trend's staples: oversize flannel shirts, ratty sweaters, chaotic layering, long skirts in dark colors and crocheted skullcaps worn over lank unwashed hair.

Every girl has an accessory fixation. There are the shoe fanatics who collect Louboutins and Jimmy Choos, the jewelry chicks obsessed with shiny baubles and the bag ladies who love a nice piece of arm candy. As a high school student, I was definitely a part of the last group -- buying bags like it was my job. While at Dartmouth, however, I became less preoccupied with purses, being that it is a less than ideal environment for the trendy pieces I used to love.

It's no secret that things are pretty bleak right now. With Wall Street reeling and the economy in shambles, everyone's talking about cutting back like it's 1929. In the magical little bubble known as Fashion World, however, the larger-than-life decadence and glamour of the bull market 1980s is in full swing.

The leaves are falling, the weather is getting colder, and school is back in session. Although the onset of fall may seem bleak, the season does have one saving grace. I'm not talking about the foliage (overrated) but rather, Fashion.

As the temperature rises in good ol' Hanover and the frozen tundra slowly gives way to small patches of green, Dartmouth students -- newly liberated from North Face prisons -- begin shedding layers quicker than Miley Cyrus on a Vanity Fair photo shoot.

"The Seeger Sessions" is live and acoustic, and a spur of the moment musical collaboration not originally intended as an album. Recording over three days at Springsteen's farmhouse, the musicians gathered and played in Springsteen's living room and hallway. With no previous rehearsals, arrangements or overdubs, the album maintains a slightly unpolished air that ultimately authenticates and enhances the sound of the motley band, which consists of a tuba, accordion, fiddle, banjo, upright bass, tambourine, mandolin, saxophone, trumpet, trombone and washboard. It is quite apparent that Springsteen and his irrepressible, irresistibly rowdy collaborators had a genuinely good time -- the album projects an infectious excitement and passion.
