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

Eyebrows are important

20/08/2016

So it’s been a while… Actually a while is an understatement, I’ve abandoned my blog and I’m finally back to resurrect it!
So last night I popped to the pub for an after work drink (which turned into me getting in at 1am) with some friends from work. I met a lovely fellow fashion blogger and felt so inspired to write again after chatting away to her about blogging and remembering why I started this in the first place (thanks Louise!)
So back to this week’s topic. My friend Esther has had her eyebrows tattooed so they’re on fleek all the time (her words not mine 😜- although I do agree!) and we started to talk about plucking, waxing, gelling and pencilling in.
I then remembered a time where I became obsessed with plucking my eyebrows (honestly, I’m talking once a day, every day) So much so that I failed to see them drifting further and further apart;

Until one Sunday afternoon when I was plucking away sitting next to Aaron, binge watching some series (I can’t remember what it was) when he said to me “Gaby, I don’t think you need to pluck them any more. Your eyebrows are getting a bit far apart.” And that one fly away comment flicked a switch in my brain that made me realise that they were FAR apart and me plucking away was making it worse. I started to frantically flick through pictures over the last few months and realised I needed to do something about this.
I made a conscious decision from that day on to grow in my brows back to their former glory. I’m quite fortunate in that I didn’t really touch them growing up as most girls did so they could grow back and am happy to report, the brows are back and looking on fleek 💁🏼

Couldn’t resist the filter 😜.
Anyway the moral of this story is that, eyebrows are important and it’s easy to get carried away plucking, just make sure you pay attention!
Until next time…

    […] At this point in my life, things started to look a bit better, but my obsession with my eyebrows started to take over and drift further apart as the impulse to pluck, pluck, pluck was too much. Make sure to check out a post from my early day about why eyebrows are important here. […]

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
