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

Life

Happy Fourth Anniversary to The Fashion Faux Pas of Gabrielle!

06/01/2020

Four years. Four whole years of learning, growing and establishing my blog into what it is today. The time has flown by and it only feels like yesterday that I was laying awake in bed (the time when all great ideas come), thinking that a blog devoted to terrible fashion choices would be a funny idea that people might get on board with.

I’ll admit that my devotion has wavered over the last few months, what with my new job and lack of wanting to spank all of my money on new clothes from a shitty brand that doesn’t care about humanity or the planet – it’s been a challenge to get inspiration when you don’t want to contribute to the issues facing the world of fashion. However one of my resolutions for 2020 is to get back into the swing of blogging again, with a set schedule and forward planning (not like my last minute writing of today’s post).

So what has changed in four years? Quite a lot really and most of it behind the screen. I dropped off my surname from the original title when I went self-hosted (well, initially it was still hosted on WordPress), moved my entire site from WordPress to host on SiteGround, amped up my SEO and switched up my site template after the whole Pipdig theme scandal.

I’ve had about 3 somewhat viral posts that continue to bring me traffic from Google today (albeit not as much as they used to), collaborated with a few brands and had a couple of sponsored posts. I’ve learnt so much about the shitty internet brands out there and exposed the scammers of Instagram, have opened my mind to the world of ethical fashion and created a catalogue of reading material on being more sustainable with your wardrobe. I’ve made some great internet friends, have spoken with people about all kinds of topics across the globe and managed to reach a small number of people that searched the internet in vain for someone else that had suffered with hepatitis E or PKD.

If someone had told me where my blog would be I wouldn’t have believed that little old me could create all of that.

The Fashion Faux Pas of Gabrielle started as a hobby and has grown to be a big part of my life, I constantly have it in the back of my mind whenever I go anywhere or do anything, I want to share anything that I think is great or shit, make sure you all know about a new hack or my experience with a medical issue.

Thank you for supporting me over the years and I promise that I’ll continue to bring you laughs for many years to come.

Love Gaby xx

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
