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

Gaby by name, gabby by nature and shopping block?!

14/12/2018

Gaby by name, gabby by nature some say – and they’re not wrong when it comes to me. I’m sure anyone that’s managed me at work in the past knows I love a good chinwag (although I assure you the majority of the chat at work is about equity release or pensions 😉) and if they’re reading, I’m sure they’re nodding along as they read – sorry.

However, I’m here to tell you that the gabbiness is starting to run dry, your gabby Gaby is slightly parched and after almost three years of continuous (well, kind of) talking, isn’t too sure what to do!

Ironic since I just transferred over to this beautiful new site ay?!

I’m struggling to know what to say, how to stand out on that bastard social media app Instagram (don’t tell me you like it, because I know it’s a lie) and even WHAT TO BUY! I’m mindlessly scrolling through shopping apps, websites, flipping through rails in the stores and nothing inspires me or stands out with rays of light beaming behind it, whispering “buy me Gaby”.

Aaron recently asked me what else I’d like for Christmas in addition to my main present (prepare yourselves for some high quality photos peeps) and I JUST DON’T KNOW! Have I been so overwhelmed with the gift guides for anyone you could imagine in your life (not sure what to buy your postman? Here’s a gift guide for that), has the old No-Buy November gotten into my head too much? Is my lack of voice here a result of my not knowing what to buy? Is this all a domino effect?! I JUST DON’T KNOW ANYTHING RIGHT NOW!

Okay, I’ll be honest and say I have bought a couple of things this month including my spangly dress for our works Christmas party, it’s covered in sequins, the path I walked that night was covered in sequins and I’m pretty sure I wiped my arse to find a sequin. But if you’re about that shimmery life, you can find is on ASOS here;

While she’s here with me in this snap, I’d like you all to meet Holly who’s just started up her own blog called Style & Sing where she shares some of her minimalist styling tips – she’s bloody fab and has got some beautiful clothes – so make sure to check her new blog out here.

And I also picked up my new favourite knit from Topshop in the sale for £19 – bargain hunter fo’ life and you can find one here.

But can I think of a Christmas treat I’d like? No. I’ve got enough perfume, I can’t think of some reasonably priced makeup I’d want (I can’t ask Aaron to fork out for a set from Charlotte Tilbury – I’d be taking the piss), I don’t really need any new clothes… so what’s left?

I’ll ask for some socks and pants.

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
