As nossas mães nos levavam para fazer o vestido da igreja ou o fato para o baptismo, e a moda não era sequer tema de conversa. Crescemos, nós, Millennials, e despertou o bichinho da curiosidade à medida que ganhávamos acesso à televisão internacional e a diferentes ideias de como vestir e estar mais actualizados.</span><br> </div></div></div></div><a href="https://onlymingas.blogspot.com/2019/08/fancy-fashion-show-uma-nova-forca-na.html#more">READ MORE -&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</a>Mingashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14682063620835194456noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913004342043877157.post-13537473588376020812018-12-10T20:37:00.004+02:002021-09-15T21:28:06.559+02:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzjmoAv-7xYQIB4upW3HdREfkxdwzxpNRPWhNCQJ5nhHkBNNxjdhuhYAKYaYtZjXoRbsZT6FsBq24NT8XGaQ_Aat9bRyU7WovDw2aqiC4j8z9tBP-PV2jRK6PPZaPdSmoOusMXahX5Rhk6/s1600/Salvatore-Ferragamo-Holiday-2018-Campaign02.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzjmoAv-7xYQIB4upW3HdREfkxdwzxpNRPWhNCQJ5nhHkBNNxjdhuhYAKYaYtZjXoRbsZT6FsBq24NT8XGaQ_Aat9bRyU7WovDw2aqiC4j8z9tBP-PV2jRK6PPZaPdSmoOusMXahX5Rhk6/s1600/Salvatore-Ferragamo-Holiday-2018-Campaign02.jpg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Salvatore Ferragamo Holiday 2018 Campaign</td></tr> </tbody></table> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"> 2019 à porta, e mais um ano se passou sem postar por aqui. Mas, que melhor forma de recomeçar a postar, a não ser continuar onde parei?</div> Bem, passaram-se 4 anos desde o meu último post, e não aconteceu mais nada na área da moda. Ao regressar da África do Sul, foquei-me em conseguir um trabalho, pagar as minhas contas, sair de casa, arranjar um carro, e fazer uns upgrades aqui e ali, e aí eu ia começar de novo.<br /> <br /> Tenho-me dito a mesma coisa há 4 anos. Quatro anos. É muito tempo.<br /> Nos trinta, cansada de trabalho, e com o clássico "não tenho tempo" à ponta da língua. Mas eu tenho tempo, sim. Bastante até. Não tenho é criatividade. Autoconfiança. Mas também sei perfeitamente que a criatividade não brota, e se alimenta sozinha. Então o meu voto para 2019 é ser quem eu sou.<br /> Livre. Designer de moda. Feliz. Criativa. Arrojada.<br /> <br /> Seja bem vindo, 2019.<br /> <br /> Até já!<br /> <br /> ---------<br /> <br /> <br /> 2019 knocking at the door, and one more year has gone without a post. But, what better way to kick it off again, than simply picking up where I left of?<br /> Well, it has been 4 years since I last posted, and not much in terms of Fashion has happened. I focused solely on getting back home, getting a job, paying my bills, moving out, getting a car, get a few upgrades here and there, and then I would start again. I've been telling myself that for 4 years. Four years. That's a long time.<br /> I'm in my thirties, exhausted from work, and with the classic "I don't have time" line at the tip of my tongue.<br /> But I do have time. Plenty actually. what I lack on is creativity. But I know for a fact that creativity needs to be fed, it doesn't just pop up on the head, and grow. So, My vow for 2019 is to be who I am.<br /> Free. Fashion designer. Happy. Creative. Bold.<br /> <br /> Here's to another year.<br /> <br /> Welcome to 2019.</div> Mingashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14682063620835194456noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913004342043877157.post-54129552964650348122014-08-17T20:28:00.001+02:002014-08-17T20:32:37.989+02:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZBHEE5Iy_L8AKUDQ1GZ-UE6XHfgC1ncud9xJfwHf_Jf_su0xbBlt86MHF9XLNg7Q7VsbkyLnjdoqXhoXkf4147JkkPFqMLIaiFeHWcMRnN9_svyRN6LArGXyBZ-X18HwMDGMlH-4eIZhd/s1600/14_EGA_SDR_6354_DomingasLoforte_w580_h387.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZBHEE5Iy_L8AKUDQ1GZ-UE6XHfgC1ncud9xJfwHf_Jf_su0xbBlt86MHF9XLNg7Q7VsbkyLnjdoqXhoXkf4147JkkPFqMLIaiFeHWcMRnN9_svyRN6LArGXyBZ-X18HwMDGMlH-4eIZhd/s1600/14_EGA_SDR_6354_DomingasLoforte_w580_h387.jpg"></a></div> <br> E finalmente aconteceu!!

Mas foi tão rápido e de repente acabou. Senti uma mescla de emoções desde alegria, felicidade, orgulho, até medo, decepção, e falta de confiança em mim mesma. Tudo bem, já vou na 3a vez, acho que já estou habituada.

Maybe a little bit more maybe a little less. But it was so fast and then it was gone.

All I heard about suits was that it was super difficult to make. And I mean, it was a general pattern we were making, no specific design details. The only think we could choose to make some sort of statement was the fabrication and haberdasheries. In other words, fabric and buttons, threads, lining, etc.<br> </div><a href="https://onlymingas.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-tailored-suit.html#more">READ MORE -&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</a>Mingashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14682063620835194456noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913004342043877157.post-70468165034011851712014-02-27T13:57:00.000+02:002019-08-30T19:06:00.862+02:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9qWOyMsBmm_QD4dZAoFoPnbbqfMUG-qrPxrepTNnAQ64wXEfhH3eSmqUMzM40tWDMiPrOF69KxZ-j4bLMGT7ZtHo8sdc2InJymaA6Hmkbfqunfc3zmfw25SYVz8_t56U5asxrjJeHbSe-/s1600/Like+A+Virgin2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9qWOyMsBmm_QD4dZAoFoPnbbqfMUG-qrPxrepTNnAQ64wXEfhH3eSmqUMzM40tWDMiPrOF69KxZ-j4bLMGT7ZtHo8sdc2InJymaA6Hmkbfqunfc3zmfw25SYVz8_t56U5asxrjJeHbSe-/s1600/Like+A+Virgin2.jpg" height="452" width="640"></a></div> <br> <br> Here comes my favorite photography/styling task I had last year.
