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

My learnings of this year

31/12/2016

Good afternoon internet friends! Thanks for hanging around while I get myself together again, it’s been a mad few weeks and I finally feel myself again (almost!)
A quick life/health update before today’s topic, I met with the neurologist at the hospital and he’s 99% sure I didn’t have a seizure and the blackout was of unknown cause but likely related to anxiety!
Now to some that might still sound worrying, but it’s a lot easier for me to deal with that than going through the motions of scans/tests and being put on anti convulsants, so overall I’m a much happier chap!
For today, I’ve compiled a list of my fashion/ beauty learnings of 2016 and thought I’d summarise it in a nice list for you (I love lists ❤️) ;
1. The one piece of jewellery missing from my life has been an engagement ring and I’m over the moon to be marrying my best friend in 2018;

2. Armani Luminous Silk foundation is a potion of wonderfulness and makes my skin beautiful, so it cost a small fortune (cough..£35… what?!) but that’s okay!
3. Diet Coke is life, but my skin doesn’t agree. 2 cans of caffeine free everyday and gallons of water/ Robinsons strawberry & kiwi is much better for me!
4. No more purchases should be made from boohoo.com as their quality is rubbish and 2 orders I’ve made haven’t made it past my front door. For a reminder, I’ve inserted a photo of a not so great dress order I posted about earlier on this year;

5. I love white shirts. Since my post about my obsession, I have purchased an additional 2 to add to my collection making a grand total of 11
6. I also have a bit of a thing for boots. For Christmas I got 3 different pairs and am sure that I will continue to add more to my collection!
£30 in the River Island sale£20 in the River Island salePrice unknown (likely around the £100 mark) from Doc Marten
7. I will continue to be a Topshop clone
8. I feel like I have achieved sexy and am proud of my bod, hello Bond girl coming out of the sea;

9. I consider my hair to be long now (it covers my boobs 😜😂) and I will continue to grow it for my wedding 👰
10. I’m not a fan of throwaway fashion and like to invest in statement pieces that I’ll get a lot of wear out of – prints and patterns go quickly out of fashion people!
11. I’ve found that I can’t be bothered to dye my hair anymore and have decided to go au natural for a while (doubt this will last!)
12. Eyebrows are important and it’s easy to get whisked away with the continuous plucking. Fuller brows that aren’t far apart look much better;

*SO FAR APART!*
13. Not to dismiss bridesmaid dresses from China, sometimes they’re pleasantly surprising! 
14. I’m probably going to post a lot more stuff of weddings, because in case you haven’t heard, I’M GETTING MARRIED!
15. WEDDING!
There’s obviously a lot more that I’ve learnt but these have been my highlights. Please feel free to take yourself back to earlier posts for a bit of light reading!
And thank you all for taking the time to read my posts this year. It means the world to me when people I know have been reading my blog and bring it up when I see them! I love writing and this has been a great outlet for me to express my love!
Have a great one tonight and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
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
