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

Follow up on the fake Gucci Marmont belt

29/11/2017

I recently wrote a post Buying a FAKE Gucci Marmont Belt on Depop (make sure to check it out if you haven’t already) and said I would write a follow up once I’d heard back from PayPal and Depop.

I contacted PayPal about returning the belt as per the instruction email (which is a standard email that goes out for all disputes) to check whether this put me in a shitty position for handling counterfeit goods and giving them back to an obviously dodgy seller – I didn’t want to ya know, break the law, I’m a law abiding citizen after all!
It was a bit of a nightmare to speak to a human being, I had to talk to machines who kept on referring me to their website (which didn’t have the option to ask this kind of question) and go back and forth on the main menu before I was able to speak to someone. The guy I spoke to in the end was really helpful and confirmed that I wouldn’t be in trouble for returning the belt as it’s the first time that this seller had been reported and they would be monitoring the account.
So I returned the belt to the seller as per instructions from PayPal and am pleased to confirm that I received my refund in full – thank the lord!
I also received an email from a fellow blogger Zoe Wong who works for Depop (make sure to check out her blog Face Value Beauty Blog) to check whether there was anything they could do to help – after she’d read my post she couldn’t find anything reported on their end so was checking in.
I was really surprised and happy that she reached out as I’d had issues with the app and reporting the seller for counterfeit items – I’m not sure whether it wouldn’t allow me to as the user could no longer be found after I’d made my purchase, but it gave me a chance to go back and make sure that they knew about what had happened.
This experience won’t prevent me from purchasing through Depop in the future as the app itself is great, they’ve got good procedures in place should something go wrong and it’s not them being dodgy – just some sellers!
I’d like to thank Zoe for getting in touch and also PayPal for making sure I got the refund!
Until then, I’ll keep on dreaming of owning a genuine one. Hit me up if you happen to hear of one going cheap 😉

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
