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

Life

Life update 

15/06/2017

So I’ve been quite proud of the fact I’ve been consistent in uploading 3 posts a week, however I’ve not met that this week and I’m gutted – but there is a valid reason! 
I’ve got another fashion review that’s due to be uploaded shortly and was planning on finishing it up Tuesday afternoon when the parcel arrived. However, I’d been feeling pretty rough (sickness and itching all over) and the whites of my eyes had turned a bit yellow (not ideal for recording an unboxing or taking outfit pictures!) not thinking much of it, I called the pharmacy to check whether it could be a side effect of coming off of my sertraline (I was taking them for panic attacks which I was having after my first suspected seizure, only to find that people with a history of seizures/epilepsy probably shouldn’t be taking them – makes me wonder!).
The pharmacist sounded slightly concerned as it wasn’t a typical withdrawal side effect and advised I call the doctor that afternoon. 
Well, what happened after that call was a trip to A&E, 3 nights in hospital and yet another bloody sick note! 
Turns out I’d contracted hepatitis E (and no it’s not the grim type you get from sex or dirty needles!) which had caused me to have jaundice! This old yellow bird here couldn’t bloody believe it! I’d been signed off after having a seizure and the day before I was due to go back to work,  I was shacked up for the next few days with jaundice! 
I’m sure you can imagine that I’ve not been in the best frame of mind or physical state to write up blog posts about fashion when I resemble a Simpson in colour and have been sleeping a lot! 
Say hello to my beautiful yellow eyes 👀😂

On the plus, my skin’s clearing up and the monstrous spots on my face are now dying down so… silver linings! 🤗😂
Thanks for sticking around, I promise a fashion related post will be here soon and apologise for delays! 
Until next time…

    Scary that something like that could come on without you even knowing it until BAM you’re feeling that horrible! I’m glad that they were able to figure out what was happening, and hope that you feel better soon!

      Tell me about it! Just glad that they figured out what it was – I thought it was a side effect of coming off of some tablets 😂 thank you!

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
