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

Life

The blogging dream

21/04/2017

I don’t know what it is, but lately I’ve been day dreaming  about throwing in the towel at my current job (which I’ve always loved and still do!) and going at it full time with my blog. 

I don’t get anywhere near the amount of traffic to do this (and I’m not stupid enough to do that – girl got a car loan to pay off and a wedding/house to save for!) but it’s the dream. 
I love writing and find it very therapeutic, I love to make people laugh (even if that’s at my expense) and love fashion. I always have and always will – ask anyone that’s met me and I guarantee I would have at some point made a comment about how I like something they’re wearing or their make up or hair. It fascinates me and I love seeing how everyone portrays themselves through their wardrobe every day. 
I’m sure if you’ve been a long time reader you’ll have noticed that I’ve dedicated a lot more time to this since the start of 2017. This is what I love to do and I know in my heart that it’s what I want to do with my life.  
Creating a fashion blog is such a common thing and it’s hard not to think that there’s not enough room on the internet for little old me. But I’m going to stick at it – I was watching a video on Jade Vanriel’s channel (she’s a 23 year old that’s just bought a flat – go and check her out!) featuring Gracie F Victory (who I love and have been following for years) about her career and blogging. One thing that really resonated was that if you’re true to yourself it will take longer to get where you need to be, but you need to stick with it and it can work.
Aaron’s been great at playing photographer and is really supportive of what I’m doing, which really helps me believe in my writing – a couple of the snaps below were shot by him – isn’t he great? One of the many many reasons I’m marrying him next year!

But that’s exactly what I’m going to do. Keep on writing what I’m passionate about, I like to think my blog is unique in that it’s about making fun about my mishaps with fashion and beauty – and if it’s meant to be, it will be. As my late Grandma would always sing-  Que sera sera (god I miss her a lot). 
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
