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

Hair

Return of the BLONDE

20/08/2018

Okay, I know I’ve always been blonde, but I don’t think I’ve been BLONDE, blonde in the whole time I’ve had this blog. I mentioned in my Going for The Chop post that I was toying with the idea of going a bit blonder, so this probably isn’t much of a surprise. Back in the day I used to bleach my hair so much that it turned into a frizzy cotton wool like mess, but a few years back I reined it in and knew I needed to cut the shit if I wanted nice hair again.

HOWEVER, after growing it out, getting it chopped and in a much healthier condition than I’d ever had it before, I was mooching around the hair dye aisle in Tesco and decided to pick up a highlighting kit – I needed to be BLONDE Gaby again!

So I headed home, pulled my hair through the plastic cap (I don’t recommend if you have longer hair – it hurts like a bitch and always ends with tears in your eyes when you’ve pulled too much hair through one of the holes, asking yourself “WHY DO I DO THESE THINGS TO MYSELF?!”), slathered the hair pulled through the cap with coconut oil to protect it and slapped on that bleach like no time had passed at all.
And for all my internet friends, here is old school Gaby;

It might sound mad, but my hair is my identity and as much as I loved having an ombre look and a darker blonde; I’m all about that bright Legally Blonde colour and feel like I did all those years ago (minus the burnt hair).
A short and sweet post for today, but I thought it was important that I share this with you (like I do all major hair, beauty and fashion events in my life).
Let me know what you think in the comments below and if you’d like a more detailed post on how I will be looking after my lighter hair!
Until Next Time

    I LOVE blonde Gaby! Your hair looks really super lovely and I’m loving it a bit shorter too. I’ve started to grown mine out currently as it’s quite literally snapping off and coming out in clumps – I think it’s more due to my medication and how horrendous my health condition is rather than anything else but I can’t add bleach to the mix too if I want any hair left!! I’d love to know how you’re going to look after it as I’m always needing hair care tips and recommendations from fellow blondies!

      Ahh thanks lovely – it’s much more me now! I’d recommend putting some coconut oil on your hair before you put anymore bleach on it – mine felt and looked so much nicer than when I used to do it! And hope you’re feeling alright (I’m not going to say okay as I know you’re having a really shit time with your health) and roll on your surgery date – want you to feel as good as possible with loads of hair!! xxxx

    I’m really feeling the blonde on you! I could never pull off blonde hair but you do it amazingly. You did such a good job doing it on yourself as well! Definitely getting serious Elle Wood vibes. It looks so lovely a bit shorter as well, suits you so well 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
