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

New Year – new wardrobe staples! 

24/01/2017

I’ve decided that each month I’m going to summarise all of the new additions to my wardrobe to help me reflect on what I’ve bought and whether I’ve been making the same mistakes again.
One thing that clearing out my wardrobe taught me was the brands I love and the ones I need to steer clear from (*cough cough* Primark, Boohoo). So this is a good chance to put my learnings to the test!
For ease of reading (and to indulge my love of lists!) I’ve listed all of my purchases below;
1. Light pink shirt – Topshop £26

This is my favourite shirt of the month – the colour, the fit, the fabric – just perfect! 
2. Light grey jumper – Missguided £7

This was a great bargain and a perfect staple for my wardrobe. The colour is lovely, it drapes well, it’s a little on the thin side but I can just wear a top underneath! WIN!
3. Black matte Doc Martens est. £100

Okay, these were a Christmas present but I cannot get enough of them and have worn them (not joking) every single day since I got them. They’ve fitted into my wardrobe perfectly and go with EVERYTHING! I’m sure if you look back you’ll see them on every single outfit post of this year so far!
4. Black dress £7 Missguided

I’ve been loving Missguided this month and the fact that they have a now released an app is pretty dangerous for my bank account! I needed a new black long sleeved dress as I threw out my old one when I had the clear out (it didn’t Bring me Joy – check out my post on my clear out here) and am more than happy with its replacement! I love the button detailing on the shoulder 😍
5. Khaki cropped long sleeve top £3 Missguided

I wouldn’t be me and true to my word in my previous post about my love of Khaki if I didn’t purchase anything in this colour! Another Missguided bargain to add to my staples! I don’t think I’d wear it with these jeans, maybe a nice black midi skirt and my DM’s (just for a change 😜).
6. Cream peplum top £28 Miss Selfridge

I have the black version of this and fell in love today when I saw that Miss Selfridge were offering this in cream! I’ve worn the black one to death (wore it yesterday in fact) so I know that I’ll be getting my money’s worth from this piece!
I’m going to call it a month now and ease up on the spending! Let me know your favourite pieces and if you’ve found some gems this month in the comments!
Until next time …

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
