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

What I love about Autumn

16/10/2018

Let’s not get it twisted, I’m a summer gal through and through – I don’t want the title of this post throwing you off, however, this afternoon as I sat on the sofa in my pyjamas after a savage cleaning session in my flat (Aaron found my long duster so I could finally get those bastard cobwebs that keep reappearing – we’re surrounded by trees so we’re often host to the cast of a Bug’s Life here) I looked out at the beautiful trees with the warm, classic autumnal colours of reds, oranges and browns when it dawned on me that there are a lot of things I love about the autumn. One of which being, storm Callum finally got rid of the stray plastic bag that’s been living in the trees for the last 2 years #councilestatelife – but I won’t include that as an official reason 😉

The Fashion

I wouldn’t be a great fashion blogger if this wasn’t one of the main reasons why I love autumn – layering, scarves, hats, boots, oh I love it all! Lucky for me, Femme Luxe kitted me out with some gorgeous knitwear just in time for the season and I am obsessed with all of it! I got to pick a few bits from their site and to keep in season, I picked some classic autumnal colours; red wine, mustard, rust and cream – gorgeous!

The Cosy Nights In

It’s not too hot, it’s not too cold, but cold enough to snuggle up under a blanket in front of the telly for the night (which is my favourite thing to do at the moment as we’re saving all the pennies for a house) with a cinnamon scented candle burning on the side. I also love that they show all of the Harry Potter films in the run up to Christmas – except for The Philosopher’s Stone, that one’s a bit shit.

The Outside World

I love walking through the crisp leaves that have fallen from the trees (that haven’t been sodden by the rain -slippery leaves piss me off), gazing around at the warm autumnal colours, feeling the warm sunshine on my face without feeling burned alive – England in the autumn is a beautiful place that I always forget about until it rolls around again.

Fun fact; the day I wanted to finish taking photos for this post was when the heavens opened and torrential rain poured down on the U.K. – suffice to say there are a lot of soggy leaves out there and I was not a happy chappy.

Pumpkins

I’m not going to lie, I’m not the kind of person that classes Halloween as a “holiday” because it’s not. However, I do love that there are loads of pumpkins everywhere and am more so this year as I want to attempt to recreate a pumpkin curry I had in Bali which was probably the best veggie curry I’ve ever had. Aaron gets to carve his pumpkin into something that’ll scare the postman, I get to cook – it’s a win win!
Thank you to Femme Luxe for collaborating with me on this post and for the gorgeous knitwear which I’ll be rocking until Spring – you can check out their full range here.

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
