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

Update on the perm…

09/03/2017

I only went and permed my bloody hair didn’t I? Now I know what you’re picturing – the classic 80’s frizz ball;

But no, I decided that I wanted more volume so I didn’t need to plait my hair every night to achieve it. I didn’t use the classic perm rollers you’ll find in your old ladies hairdressers;

I went for the flexi-rods;

I’m not going to lie to you and tell you it was all hunky dory – because it was not. 
I attempted to perm it twice before getting it how I wanted (and I can hear hairdressers all over dying inside knowing I applied perm lotion to my hair twice in a week!) but the first time was awful. It was the day after my faint and I slept on my slightly damp hair straight after finishing, leaving my curls limp, my hair as dry as the Sahara desert 🌵 and quite frankly – minging. 
I knew I couldn’t put another lotion on for about a week if I wanted to keep my hair firmly in place on my head, so I waited a few days until I went into town (walked in all by myself I’ll have you know – crossing roads and everything) and picked up another perm set from Superdrug.
Now, you’re probably bored of all this reading and just want to see the pictures of how the second attempt came out? 

I got a nice wave (it ringlets more when it’s wet) that I’m very happy with! (Shout out to the best Grandad who wasn’t massively amused by the selfie taking). 
So, it wasn’t a total disaster and I managed to fix it. 
Would I do it again? Probably, because I enjoy doing my own hair and love trying out different things! 
Let me know whether you think I’m a raving lunatic and what you think of my new do below in the comments! 
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
