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

Life

Where have I been?!

28/11/2021

I’m well aware that it’s been quite some time since I have drafted a post, let alone actually post anything on here so I thought it best I check in so you know I have all of the intentions of getting back into the swing of blogging in 2022 and a bit about where I’ve been, what I’ve been thinking etc.

I could sit here and draft a long winded apology full of excuses as to why I’ve not been around however, if I want to be frank and honest with you I’ve been distracted by life, Disney+ (this was a new addition to our lives since we got rid of our Virgin box when we moved), sorting through shit we hauled across to the house which definitely should have been thrown out (and remains in the boot of my car since I still haven’t been to the charity shop), decorating and work.

Thinking back, since I decided to stop going onto Instagram I’ve not been getting the same inspiration as I used to. I don’t buy clothes from any of the fast fashion chains anymore as they don’t align with my beliefs (fuck off Boohoo with your terrible suppliers and throwaway culture) and I just don’t feel like I fit in on there anymore! I spend time browsing charity and thrift shops for unique clothes (although on my last haul I ended up with a cardigan that had three fag burns in… that I’m wearing right now because fuck it, I’m at home) and haven’t found the perfect post with a new perspective that I haven’t covered yet.

I’ve spent a lot of time reading and reflecting on my life, thinking back on when I felt most creative and inspired which turned out to be when I was probably my most anxious. My mental health is probably the best it’s been in years (with the odd wobble here and there, I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t have my moments!) and I can’t help but wonder whether that’s why I’ve not been writing. Perhaps I’ve not needed to use this blog as a crutch for my mental health as I’m the happiest and most stable I’ve ever been!

Nevertheless, I’m going to be making a more conscious effort to switch off from my day job (I love being a property manager but that doesn’t mean I don’t need time to zone out from it) and revert back with some witty content for you.

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
