Books to help you become a fashion designer

Here are three books on helping with becoming a fashion designer that I will be reading, if you are an aspiring designer like me they should be really helpful. The Art of Dress Modelling    Becoming a Fashion Designer  Fashion Design Course Fashion Law I am excited to read all of these, the law one not so much, but I figure I should at least have it on hand and glance at it, and read it at some point when I am extremely bored. (Which is really never) I recently discovered THE artist behind Henri Bendel. So I looked him up check it out! If you love line drawings as much as I do I am sure you will enjoy it. -Miriam  Subscribe on the top of my blog to get my posts in your inbox

Fall Fashion 2017

Image
Working on my line, I have to think ahead.... To FALL FASHION, and it is really hot outside right now so that's tough! Here goes: The open toe bootie ! The closed toe slip on bootie FRINGE !! I love this top! Fall florals !! 100% yes And plaids too which I was already thinking of so that's great! And leather I recently got into, but I do pleather only. There are also other trends  that I am not really into. I also think corset like style will be a thing since the bag dress is so in style right now and people are adding belts, I think that we will move the other way into corsets because the "cinched in" look is really flattering! I am currently talking to a manufacturer to see what they can do for me. Looking forward! Miriam click here  and hit the subscribe button to get these posts in your email!

Fashion Faux Pas

Image
Ok So ya'll know I love dresses. I saw this one here  and i was thrilled!! I saw it on someones Instagram too, it looked so so cute. I was super excited so I went ahead and ordered it. When I got it I cant tell you how disappointed I was. It wasn't the dress I was expecting. For some it might be just fine, but to me I thought for the price I was paying 69.90 US dollars plus tax.. that I would receive a quality garment. This faux pas is not just in this dress. I find this with many many dresses from many brands. It looks great in pictures, but once you get it you can not believe that for that price, the material is thin, or the threads are pinching the material and so on and so forth. Its clothing like this that is pushing me to grow/design/manufacture my own brand. So I have started, I hope you will join me on my journey. Please share you fashion faux pas stories below!!

I am who I am because of me. I choose my path. I choose my happiness. We get what we put into the world. We receive what we give. Time for fashion in my next blog post!! My daughters beautiful patterned drawing is my inspiration.

I love love love design

I love love love design and especially clothing design. I appreciate clean lines and well thought through and well made clothing. For a long time I searched for clothing that suited me, I found a site today! So I had to share it here because I can't be the only lady looking for affordable pretty clothing that cover the collarbone etc, according to tznius laws  . I also really love love the fact that their clothing is fun and interesting! The dinner post is STILL coming no worries, sometimes other things come up first. Can't wait to buy a piece and share it here with you.

Whats in a name?

Names are so important, its usually the first thing you are asked when you meet someone new (or maybe later once you realize you have forgotten to ask) right? Well the name of my blog was difficult to figure out, I wanted the blog to cover many topics but I wasn't sure what the best name would be. Even so once i thought I had a good once, low and behold it wasn't available, and neither were the 10 or so ones i tried after that! So eventually I thought of Gab in a Blog, or Gabina like my friend pointed out. So either one works for me. We can all be Gabina's sometimes I think. Join me on my journey of gabbing and talking about the relevant things going on in my world. Enjoy (oh and if anyone wants to edit my blog-I would not say no! ) next blog will be on supper/dinner planning. Subscribe to my blog on the top of the page! -Miriam
