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

The Sunshine Blogger Award

15/01/2018

I’ve got something a little bit different in store for you all today as I’ve been kindly nominated by my long-time blogging friend Hayley from HSaysBlog for the Sunshine Blogger Award! It’s a lovely award where bloggers can nominate some of their favourite bloggers to answer some questions about themselves and continue sharing the love with some more bloggers!
Now the rules of The Sunshine Award are as follows:
1 Thank blogger(s) who nominated you in the blog post and link back to their blog.
2 Answer the 11 questions the blogger asked you.
3 Nominate 11 new blogs to receive the award and write them 11 new questions.
4 List the rules and display the Sunshine Blogger Award logo in your post and/or in your blog
So here are my answers to the questions that Hayley asked me!
1. Who is your favourite celebrity and why?
I have to say I’m a little bit obsessed with Eva Longoria and have been ever since her Desperate Housewives days, I think in part it’s because her name was Gaby in the series, she’s funny and drop dead gorgeous!
2. If you had to choose between eating savoury or sweets foods forever what would you rather have?
Savoury all the way, if I had to pick between a bag of crisps and a bar of chocolate, I’m guaranteed to take the crisps every time!
3. If you could only listen to one musician for the rest of your life who would it be?
This is a hard one, but I love Prince and could listen to him forever – fun fact, Rasberry Beret is my alarm to wake me up each morning and it’s one of the best songs to wake up to!
4. Which do you prefer Facebook or twitter?
I think Facebook on a personal level as I’ve got all of my family and friends on there, but in terms of blogging, Facebook is dead and Twitter is where it’s at!
5. What’s your favourite hobby?
This is so hard as I love blogging and sewing, but my gut tells me it’s blogging.
6. Whats your favourite item of clothing?
Well, I don’t know if I can class them as clothing, but I have an everlasting love for my Doc Marten boots which I can’t see going away any time soon!
7. If you could only watch one TV show forever what would you watch and why?
Keeping up with the Kardashians, mainly because I can see the show going on for the rest of time and being mesmerised by the glitz and glam in their lives lol.
8. Who’s your role model and why?
I don’t really have a specific role model, but have loads of people in my life that inspire me to be the best person I possibly can be – lots of women in my family, one of my old bosses, bloggers, YouTubers, actresses, actors, musicians – the list is endless! My Grandma was 110% my biggest influence before she passed away three years ago and one of the best sayings/songs she would always sing was “Que Sera Sera” although she’s no longer here, I still cherish everything she taught me and miss her more than anything.
me and grandma
9. If you could only take one item to a desert island with you (not including phone) what would you take?
Something I could write on/with – if I ever got off that island, I’d be gunning for a book deal with everything I’d written during my time lol!
10. Which is your favourite restaurant?
A little curry house in one of our local villages, Aaron and I had our first proper “date” there and the food is always delish!
11. Where’s your favourite country and why?
Thailand – because it’s one of the most beautiful countries in the world and it’s where Aaron asked me to be his wife!

So now my eleven questions are out of the way, I’d like to nominate the following ladies who have all been so supportive of me and this blog!
Sophia From Sophiasphere
Alice Tulip from Black Tulip Beauty

Lily from Covet Luxe
Meg from Coffee With Meg
Ashton from Miss Curly Gal
Alice from According to Alice
Char from Char’s Little Blog
Kate from Kate is Coveting
Tara from Tara Jessica Smith
Lisa from Far Away Lisa Mae
My 11 Questions for you are:

  1. Favourite make up range?
  2. When and why did you start blogging?
  3. What’s your main blogging goal for 2018?
  4. What are you favourite pair of shoes and why?
  5. What’s been your biggest fashion failure and why?
  6. If you could rename your blog, would you? And if yes, why and what would you call it?
  7. What’s your favourite store to buy fashion from and why?
  8. What’s your full time job?
  9. What’s the most outrageous thing you’ve done to your hair?
  10. What do you wish you could tell your younger self?
  11. Do you have any hobbies other than blogging?

Thank you again to Hayley for nominating me for this award and I’ll be back on Wednesday with some more of my usual content!

    Aww thanks for the nomination lovely lady! Eva Longoria is GORGEOUS I agree, I’ve never actually seen her in anything though surprisingly! You look gorgeous with blonde hair by the way it suits you so much! 🙂 That’s so sweet about your Grandma too, my nan was my a huge inspiration for me too, I always envy people who still have their grandparents still around! Great post lovely 🙂

    Thank you for nominating me, that’s super lovely of you! I’m definitely more of a savoury person as well, but I do have my sweet cravings every now and then. Your graduation photo is so cute! x

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
