My day in style
GABBY ALLEN
From filming fitness routines to her love of quirky accessories, former Love Islander Gabby Allen, 27, talks us through her day
MORNING 7AM: I’m a personal trainer for fitness app Fiit, so if I’m filming a workout, I wake up about 7am, have a quick shower and grab a coffee. On the weekends, I get up a bit later, but I do try to make the most of them – a lot of my friends work 9-5, so it’s really the only time we can get together.
9AM: I don’t tend to plan my outfits the night before. If I’m filming, I wear high-waisted leggings and a sports bra. I wear a lot of H&M, Primark and my SportFX collection. My favourite from the collection is the seamless outfit, because it’s so flattering. It’s also a really lovely shade. I like wearing bright colours because I think if you can, then why not?
10AM: I never leave the house without headphones; if I do, I’m gutted as it means I have to talk to people! I’ll always carry a lip balm with me, too. I love the SportFX rhubarb balm, because it’s got a lovely pink tone. I also have about ten of the Love Island water bottles, but I don’t take them out with me. I use a Chilly’s bottle instead.
AFTERNOON 12:30PM: I’m a fan of intermittent fasting, so I don’t usually start eating until midday. I love eggs and I tend to boil a couple of them with tuna, spinach and loads of veggies. That’s my go-to lunch because it’s quick and easy to throw together.
3PM: If I’m out and about and need a quick bite before a meeting, I’ll go to Pret and grab a tuna flatbread or a protein pot.
EVENING 6PM: I’m a very sociable person but as I work from home a lot, I like getting out of the house whenever I can. I’m quite short, so I usually wear heels. I also love to accessorise and Zara is my go-to for quirky bits. I’d rather look over-dressed than under-dressed!
7PM: I have my dinner at around 7pm. I’m not a big fan of cooking meat at home, but I do cook fish. I’ll have cod loin with pesto and grated cheddar cheese on top with all the greens on the side. It’s so good, and my favourite recipe from my book [ Shape Up With Gabby Allen].
8PM: If I’m having a night in, I like watching drama and gritty TV, but I also like to put my phone down and pick up a book. I love thrillers and crime books and am currently reading How Do You Like Me
Now by Holly Bourne, because someone recommended it to me.
9PM: Every night, I cleanse with micellar water before using a light moisturiser.
I also exfoliate twice a week using St. Ives Apricot Scrub.
10PM: I’ll be in bed early most evenings because I like getting up first thing and having more of the day.
