Fashion and Academia: A Full Week of Fabulous Day 6

It is no secret that the fashion capital of the United States is New York City, so it is also no secret that I very much would love to attend college there. So, as part of my New York trip, I did college tours of Colombia University up in Morningside Heights and a tour of New York University in Greenwich Village. Here are the pictures!

 The main library at Columbia has the names of all the famous philosophers engraved on it.

NYU doesn't have much of a campus, your campus is New York City, but here is a picture of the NYU subway stop in Greenwich Village.

How fun would it be to live in the fashion capital of essentially the world? I would never stop loving it. Until next time lovelies!

Hottest Look of the Week: Soho Style: A Full Week of Fabulous Day 5

I found this girl in Topshop in Soho, so it's no surprise that her outfit is very chic. I love her nod to menswear with a tank tucked into fitted, high waisted trousers. Her patent grey/cream belt and black shoulder bag finish off the look, and of course some shopping bags, because, let's face it, if you're in Soho and looking this cute, you've got to be a bit of a fashionista.

At first when I ask most people to take their picture for a fashion blog, they are a big shocked and confused. Upon asking tshe immediately goit into full on model status, with a concentrated face and no smile. I did however get her to grin in a second picture, above.

Confessions of a Shopaholic: A Full Week of Fabulous Day 4

There really is no way to visit New York City and not go shopping, and my visit was no different. Here are some pictures from my day of shopping.

A giant Apple Store on 5th Avenue. FAO Schwartz, the very famous giant toy store, is to the right. I loved it when I was little.

A Louis Vuitton store, also on 5th Ave. J'adore the pop art eiffel tower on the storefront.

Next I made a stop at Bergdorf Goodman. Every girl's dream is to shop at this store, I'm completely convinced.

shoes, Shoes, SHOES!!! Gotta love Ferragamo.

The true Holy Grail of all shopping, Saks Fifth Avenue.

Next I went down to Soho and checked out Topshop. The only Topshop in the country is in Manhattan, so I had to stop by.

They have an awesome new men's section now too. You can take your guyfriends there now ladies!

Next I went to Topshop Makeup. It's full of fun colors and has every product you could possibly imagine.

The Topshop special edition makeup collection.

All of my lovely finds!

I had a great time shopping in NYC. Next we have the Hottest Look of the Week! Hope you're enjoying A Full Week of Fabulous!

C'est American Chic: A Full Week of Fabulous Day 3

After my first incredible day in NYC I have to say that there is truly no city like it. Even though I've been there before, it's always full of new and exciting surprises. Today I checked out the American Woman: Fashioning A National Identity exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Thanks to my lovely grandmother, I managed to get a behind the scenes tour when the museum was closed and the only people allowed in were staff and their special guests. The exhibit is one of the most incredible that the museum has ever done, in my opinion the only rival being last years' The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion. The exhibit also doesn't allow photography, so the ones shown here will probably not be found anywhere else. I hope you all enjoy one of the coolest, most inspirational, most beautiful exhibits I've ever seen anywhere.

I apologize for the blurriness of this photo, It says Bohemian, 1990s.

My favorite headpieces in the exhibit were the ones in the flapper exhibit. All wigs and headpieces were designed by Julien d'Ys.

I believe the pictures are mostly self explanatory. These pictures do not by any means do the exhibit justice. If you have the chance, you should really try to check it out before it closes on August 15. Now for some more classic Met stuff...

Some annoyingly blurry pictures of me at the Met.

Me in front of the new Met flowers! Every week a crew switches them with a new theme of flowers, thiss week is tropical with lots of birds of paradise.

The new front desk flowers, still under construction.

The front of the Met and the famous Met steps commonly featured on Gossip Girl.

Nobody does it like the Empire State! More tomorrow!

High Style: A Full Week of Fabulous Day 2

So as you all were informed, I am in New Jersey tonight, getting ready for my week in Manhattan. To kick things off, tomorrow I will be seeing the American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on the museum's day off. The exhibit follows female styles from 1890 through 1940 and how women "initiated style revolutions" as The Met itself describes it. The exhibit contains both pieces from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute and The Brooklyn Museums' costume collection, which has been recently given as a gift to The Met. I'll bring you all the exclusive details tomorrow afternoon, and I'm sure it'll be pretty sweet. Until tomorrow all you lovely people!

A Beautiful Surprise: A Full Week of Fabulous Day 1

It is no secret that Miss Saturday Morning adores MAC Cosmetics. So, we were psyched beyond words when we found out that MAC is doing a collaboration with the fashion line Rodarte, designed by Kate and Laura Mulleavy. Their success is another very poorly kept secret, as they have been featured in almost every major fashion magazine and websitew known to mankind. Their line of pretty dresses for Target last year (and their incredible relationship with fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson) was remarkable a will not be soon forgotten. After working with MAC on the cool tribal like temporary tattoos they featured in their fall/winter 2010 runway show, they are now ready to introduce a cosmetics collection with them. It promises to be ethereal, cool, and very Rodarte. We can't wait!

 The cosmetics line is meant to be somewhat inspired by the candle wax heels Nicholas Kirwood designed with Rodarte, above.

And in case you weren't completely sold, Miss Saturday Morning has an insider bit of information: MAC and Rodarte will be previewing their cosmetics line at New York Fashions Night Out on September 10, 2010. Another bit of info: Miss Saturday Morning will be there too.

A Full Week of Fabulous

As the summer drones on, we can imagine that all of our readers are getting pretty bored. We definitely have the case of the summer blues here in Southern California, because for some reason the sun just can't seem to shine. Whenever it gets too cloudy for our taste, there is really only one solution: hit up Manhattan. This weekend I leave for the Empire State to pull you lovely people out of the doldrums, so stay tuned for a Week of Miss Saturday Morning. Starting this Saturday we will be posting every single day for a week with some insider makeup secrets, behind the scenes tours, and fabulous street style. So put on your bikinis, grab your shades, and head over to Miss Saturday Morning; this summer is about to get a whole lot more stylish.

P.S. As a kick off to a week of fabulous fashion, I just found this picture from my Spain trip this past Spring. I love my friend Mckenna's (on the left) style, very classic and cute. Ralph Lauren would be proud.
