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

Going for the chop!

06/08/2018

If you read my post from last week, I was having a bit of a dilemma about whether or not I should get my long old locks chopped off. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and comments – I had a lot of food for thought and a lot of hair to consider.
I took some before photos to show you how it looked pre-cut – I hadn’t noticed that it was that far down my back and was impressed by how long it managed to get!

On Saturday morning I got up, had a shower, washed my long, ratty strands and did some errands before Chloe popped over to snip away. I finally decided after chatting to Maisie who’d had a good bit cut off her hair a few weeks before that I would be happy enough to cut off about 4 inches. Having the bare minimum wouldn’t make my hair look any better and the splits would keep on going up until all of my hair was broken, split and just a bit shit! Nobody wants ratty looking hair do they?!
And I went for it! Chloe cut off what needed to go into a blunt, one length style which I’m LOVING – she was also delighted to be getting rid of the rats tails 😉!


Yes I miss the straggly bits, but it feels much healthier and looks so much thicker! All of the blonde remnants from when I bleached it a few years back have gone so it looks quite a bit darker, so I might get some highlights at some point!
I couldn’t go all out and get rid of my long locks, but it’s a step in the direction for me having the long, thick, luscious locks I’ve always wanted! I’m going to carry on growing it, but will be sticking to the blunt cut look as it makes my hair look so much thicker.
Until Next Time

    Your hair looks in such better condition now, and like you said, thicker. I’m secretly happy you didn’t chop of a drastic amount. Looks so good girl x

    I was going to say it looks soo much thicker!! And honestly so much healthier in literally every way. You look bloody gorgeous! The shape of it also reminds me of a really long bob, it’s so rounded and bouncy! I’m so bloody jealous Gab you have the lushest hair, maybe one day I’ll stop bleaching the crap out of mine…haha!

      Ahh thank you lovely!! It took me bloody years to get rid of my bleached bits 😂 and I’m glad it looks like that, I wanted a really blunt cut like you’d have for a bob! ❤️❤️

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
Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and let you all know I haven’t forgotten about this online world, I’ve just needed some time to myself after almost 5 years of continuous life sharing! I also haven’t been heading off anywhere glam or buying much to share on here, so today’s snap is a bit of a throw back to just before the first lockdown when I found this gorgeous wool blazer in @british_heart_foundation from @poloralphlauren 🥰 how are you all and have you managed to find any bargain secondhand finds?! ♻️🌿
I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely go I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely gone off of Instagram over the last few months and popped on here this morning for the first time in weeks to see if I could get back into the swing again. To be honest I’ve been so busy with work most days, that when it comes to having some free time all I want to do is slob out, watch something on the telly and do nothing - I spend most of my life on my laptop or work phone, that the last thing I want to do when I’m finished is churn out more content. But I’ve come to realise that’s okay - I don’t need to let my social media dictate how I live my life, or feel bad about the fact that I don’t have certain things, can’t go certain places or live a certain life - because social media (and especially Instagram), is where people showcase their best selves and not necessarily what’s going on off screen. I realised a while ago that jealousy isn’t going to get me anywhere; I might look at someone online and envy their life, but should be thankful (and am!) for the life that I’ve already got - there’s always going to be someone worse off and everyone has different goals or ideals in life, so there’s no use in getting bogged down when I can’t afford to go certain places, have certain things, when I’ll get where I need to be in my own time. I just need to carry on doing my own thing and not let the Instagram envy get me down ❤️
{GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sen {GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sending me these gorgeous earrings from her Etsy store - everything is zero waste and all packaging is 100% recyclable!  I hope you’re all enjoying the gorgeous sunshine and making sure your skin is well protected from the sun - you don’t want to end up tossing and turning because you got burnt and turned into a radiator in a day! We went food shopping and out to the in-laws for our weekly Sunday roast, so I’m now spending the afternoon keeping as cool as I can in the flat, readying myself for another week of work in the heat!
