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

Life

Getting into the swing of blogging 

23/06/2017

Welcome back people! I’m still off sick with this minging hepatitis E and jaundice, so haven’t spent too much time writing these last few days! I’ve got a couple of posts lined up where I’m waiting for deliveries etc. so stay tuned for those – another fashion review is on the agenda 🤗. These seem to be going down really well with you guys, so please keep on letting me know about what you’d like to see! 
Anyway, I wanted today’s post to be about how I’ve found getting really into blogging this last month or so (let’s face it, I’ve been off bored out of my mind between being sick/ having the shits and scratching – this girl is missing her job like crazy!) and how I feel like I’ve been upping the blogging game! 
Photography
I think in the past year I’ve made a conscious effort to improve the photography I feature in my posts. I’m really fortunate that Aaron’s pretty good with a camera (I guess some good has come from those many nights spent photographing fish for himself and his mates LOL) and he’s been able to get some great outfit snaps. 

I think I finally found what kind of photos work best with my content after working with my amazing friend Katt on a shoot a few weeks back (see the post Getting Used to Posing to see some of the great shots she got that day) and have established the more natural walking poses are more my style! 

Better Relevant Content 
I’m finding writing and coming up with content easier now I have a regular series to follow which I can link in with my YouTube channel – now I have a backlog of content to reflect on, I’ve been able to see what goes down well with my audience and what doesn’t, which helps me tailor future content to my audience! 
YouTube 
Watching back videos is one of the best things I do to improve my content – I film videos that I would like to watch and like to make it as relatable as possible. My channel is nowhere near to the level that my blog is at, but I’m making some progress slowly but surely! 
I’m also becoming more and more savvy with my video editing and have found some royalty free backing tracks that fit well with my personality 🤗

Networking
As I’ve had a lot of spare time, this is something I’ve been able to devote more time to. I’ve been more active on Twitter, have joined more Facebook groups specifically for bloggers, have driven more traffic to my Instagram account and have finally set up an account for affiliate links! The blogging community is so welcoming and supportive, we’re all wanting to do what we can to put each other out there and it’s really motivating to have them on side! 
So these are a few points of how I’ve been upping my game, let’s hope I can continue when I go back to work! 
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
