The Fashion Faux Pas of Gabrielle An unconventional fashion blogger trying to find her place on the internet

In the name of FASHION

22/05/2016

It’s been a mad couple of weeks (the arrival of my cousin’s beautiful baby girl, work etc.) hence the delay in posting and as always I apologise!
So, I was at work last week chatting to the girls about my beautiful peep toe cut out boots and how my toes were killing me after wearing them all day. Sarah said to me, “Gabs you should do a post on them!” and it gave me a thought… Why not do a post about the things we wear in the name of fashion?! So, without further ado, here are some ridiculous things that I put myself through in the name of FASHION!
1. Shoes. There are so many styles of shoe that I’ll make my feet endure, purely because I fell in love with them. Whether that be some heels (I don’t wear heels that often but for the purpose of this post and many others out there, I’ll include them) or shoes that are; too tight, too loose, rub on your little toes, make your feet sweat like hell.

2. Jeans that are now too tight. Now, this one is more relevant to me right now having gained some weight in the past year. In the name of fashion (and pride and stinginess) I refuse to go out and purchase a load of larger pairs of jeans because I have gained a little bit of weight. I’d rather tone my belly up to make sure I can fit into the many pairs of jeans that I spent a small fortune on, than go out and spend even more.
3. Underwear. So, this one is something that not many people will address, but it’s me and I don’t care, so will. I need to make sure that I don’t have the dreaded knicker line when I wear something a bit tight so will have to make myself endure the uncomfortableness that is a thong in the name of fashion.

4. Clothes that are incredibly difficult to get into. By this, I’m referring to a body con dress Aaron bought for me a couple of Christmases ago (I did pick it) that didn’t have a zip and was far smaller than its size 8 label would have you believe. Picture a girl with arms in the air, dress wrapped around her head and doting boyfriend attempting to pull it down. DISCLAIMER: the dress in referring to has never been worn and still has the tags on.
5. Make up and skin care. I’ve spent a small fortune in my life in an attempt to find the perfect foundation, hair colour, mascara, moisturiser, spot cream, the list goes on. Now, this one is mainly due to wanting to improve my skin. But in the name of fashion, I will always try my hand at make up and hair trends, be that contouring, a smokey eye, ombré hair, I’ll always give it a go whether it works or not.

So there you have it, if you have any other things you do/ wear in the name of fashion, please let me know!
Until next time…

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds
Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
