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

My Blogging Inspirations

05/10/2017

I’ve been blogging for 2 years in January, but dabbled in YouTube a number  of years ago. Throughout the last 7/8 years I’ve followed a select few via their blogs and YouTube channels that have inspired me and given me hope that I would be able to make it.
It might just be a pipe dream, I might well never make it – but I will make damn sure that I do everything in my power to grow my own empire like some of the following ladies;
1. Patricia Bright

I have followed this woman since I first discovered people actually document hair growth and how they’ve been growing their hair online back in 2012/13. She’s since ditched her hair growth videos, but has expanded into fashion, beauty and life.
I’ve laughed so much watching her and cried at beautiful moments of her life (her wedding video and when her daughter was born – I was an absolute blubbering mess!) She’s an inspiration in that she gives her viewers guidance and stories of how she’s handled life, her style slays and she’s always sharing her great advice. She’s really blown up in the last couple of years, exceeding 1 million subscribers, but do you know what? I can see why – she’s hilarious, honest and a beautiful human being.
2. Lydia Millen

I discovered Lydia a couple of years back and can’t remember a time where I haven’t watched her and read her blog. She posts the most amazing style videos, is the ultimate style queen (with a wardrobe I could only dream of) and is still so humble about how far she’s come. I get major bag envy watching her, but she really shows how much hard work goes into where she is today. 
3. Grace Victory

Grace has been someone I’ve watched for around the same amount of time as Patricia – she never holds back on giving her sometimes controversial opinions and is a real advocate for equality for everyone, no matter their size or skin colour – she’s someone that speaks for the people. I loved her book # No Filter (make sure to check out what I took away here) and felt so inspired after reading it to continue doing what I’m doing. For that, I’ll always be thankful to the Internet’s big sister.
4. Helen Anderson

Helen (formerly Melonlady!) has an alternative style which I love – she doesn’t hold back, will eff and blind all over her channel and has an amazing taste in music which makes me love her even more. I love that she’s stayed true to herself and hasn’t strayed from her high street style. She shares her great high street finds and continues to make me laugh with each and every video she uploads.
5. Samantha Maria

Sammi was one of the first fashion bloggers/vloggers that I started to follow online. She has amazing style and gorgeous tattoos which set her apart from a lot of other bloggers. She’s amassed a great well deserved following over the last few years and has launched her own fashion label with her now husband Jason #goals! 
And they’re my top 5 favourite most inspirational bloggers – if you haven’t heard of them (although I’m sure you would have!) make sure to check them out!

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
