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

Searching for a holiday backpack

23/04/2018

If you read my post from last week on My Honeymoon Essentials, you’ll know that I’m now on the hunt for the perfect bag to take away with me on our travels to Bali – it needs to fit all of my flying essentials (books, purse, camera, phone, notepad, magazines – the usuals!) and also be easy for me to pack away my beach essentials (towel, suncream, book, phone, purse, sunglasses etc.)
I want something that’s practical and stylish, so was over the moon when I got the opportunity to work with Moto Chic Gear to write a sponsored post about their gorgeous range of the Lauren style bags which are perfect for active women, looking for high-quality, well designed clothing and accessories. They’ve recently launched localized versions of their site in over 60 countries – so they’re getting pretty big! Customers around the world can now enjoy product information available in their local language, pricing, and sizing, a fully localized checkout process that accepts payment in 25 currencies and low international shipping rates!
Here are a few of the different options available on their site which I think could help me with my backpack dilemma!
The Lauren Bag: Black
 



I love the design of this, you could wear it as a handbag or a backpack, it’s secure (meaning I’m less likely to be mugged – always good to know!) and looks great – you also can’t go wrong with a black bag! I love a good quality leather bag and the different textures of this make this one different to your standard leather backpack.
The Lauren Sport
 


If you like a bit of colour in your life, these sportier bags are great. In the same way as the previous Lauren bag, these can be worn as a backpack or a handbag, but are made with a more sport-appropriate polyester. I love there there are loads of colour options for the zips (all waterproof meaning your stuff won’t get drenched if you were to have it on your back during an unfortunate downpour of rain) and they don’t look like your standard sporty bag. I also love that the Lauren Sport bags have a little light inside of them so you can whip it out when you can’t find your keys to get in the door (which is a regular occurrence for me).
The Lauren White Sport
 


This again is another leather version of the Lauren bag in a different colour-way – I like the pop of white and think this makes it look a bit more summer appropriate, which is what I’m looking for. I also think this one could work and look great for mum’s on the school run that need to stock up on everything but the kitchen sink and don’t want something that isn’t changeable or stylish! Imagine all the sassy mum’s rocking these bags at the school gate?!
Let me know what you think of my picks in the comments below and make sure to check our their site for a wider range of clothing and accessories here. They’ve given me a personal discount code for 10% off, all you need to do is type GABRIELLEBANNER in at the checkout (please note that this code expires on the 31st of May 2018 – so get in there soon!)
Until Next Time

    Well done on the sponsored post! You’re killing it. I love the bag with a splash of colour, I think I’d have to go for either blue or pink although I’d be so stuck for which one to choose haha. I’m such a sucker for buying new bags and telling myself that I need them when I really don’t! Whoops x

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
