8th Blogging Anniversary + Changes

Hi there. It's been a while. I've been meaning to update you and even started several blog posts but none of them seemed good enough. I know, #overthinking, but here we are. I thought a life update would be the perfect way to get back to blogging.
Last week I marked my 8th blogging anniversary. I must confess that the date almost passed me by. Eight years seems like a long time, right? I can hardly believe it. But I'm so proud of myself for at least keeping this space alive, albeit partially.
I was reading a post about habits that will improve your life and having a creative outlet was one of them. This blog has been my creative space since its inception. As time went by it became the space where I documented the various stages of my life key in point becoming a mother, starting my online shop and eventually transitioning to full-time employment.
However, as I embraced these new phases of my life, I also lost love and found it again (that's a story for another day). 
While many of the wounds have healed, I still have A LOT of work to do to get myself to that place where I can say, I feel 100% myself again.
I know that in order to pick this blog up again, I need to be honest with you. The last few years have been a real struggle. But now that I feel that I am on the mend, I am ready to embark on this journey, albeit tentatively. I hope you'll come along for the ride.
My new headshot
There have been several changes to the blog. Earlier this year, I changed my blog URL, banner and signature.
I've also changed my profile photo (or headshot) here on the blog and on my social media to the above. You can still find me on Facebook and Instagram (@inches2style).
I really want to get back to blogging so I've given myself a target of putting up one post a week. I will not limit my content. I'll write what inspires me be it fashion, self care or motherhood. Let's make the next year of Inches To Style a memorable one. 

Thank you for stopping by. See you next week!!

WHAT I WORE: Fashion Trance 2012

 Hi all!! Happy new month. I hope you are as excited as I am for the holidays. Last week, I won a pair of VIP tickets from Nancie Mwai to attend the Fashion Trance event held at the Mamba Village, Nairobi. I was so excited to have worn. I think this is the first giveaway I've ever won!!!  I went for a practical yet chic look because the weather was so uncertain. I chose my purple denim trousers, a sequin top and wedges. I carried my trench coat because I knew I would be reaching the house very late.   Because sequins can be a little too much, I kept my jewellery simple by wearing my ethnic Indian chandelier earrings which I absolutely love, a polka dot bracelet and purple ring. I had wanted to carry a clutch but then I realized that it wouldn't fit all the things I wanted to carry so I opted for this handbag. Oh and I finally got the first edition of my business cards. I'm so excited, I'd been meaning to get them done for so long that on Friday I ...

FEELING GREEN

Hi all!! I hope your week is coming along great. I wore this outfit on Sunday to church. It's not something that I would normally wear to church but I had really missed this dress and it was brought home after I had to leave it behind in India due to excess luggage.  I paired it with black leggings because stockings seem to make some of my dresses ride when I'm walking due to static. These chunky ankle boots were my accessory of choice together with this scarf which I wore specifically to hide the cartoon on my t-shirt that was peeping out.   This is my failed attempt at making a turban. I couldn't figure out what to do with the edges of the scarf so I just made my usual band. Outfit Details: Dress: Kamla Nagar Market, India Boots: gift from mum Handbag and neck-scarf: mum's Scarf as headband: from my sister Bracelets: gifts Earrings: gift  I carried this bag on Saturday and I didn't have tome to change it so I just decided it woul...

Style Challenge Day 6: Wear A Bold Print

 Hi guys. Phew! Last week was so crazy I couldn't keep up with everything, case in point my 30 day style challenge and weekly video. But I just had to get back to it this week. For day 6, I had to put on a bold print. I don't know if you have noticed but I am not very big on prints. Every time I shop, I automatically go for solid colours and if I pick prints it will inevitably be either stripes or florals. So for this challenge, I opted for a more abstract print. I love the colours of this tunic-style top. The chiffon fabric is light and breezy making it perfect for the warmer weather. I paired it with off-white skinny jeans and some beaded sandals. These sandals are a cross between flip-flops and sliders. I haven't worn such sandals in years so it was nice having a change from my usual shoes. I do believe however, that I need to open up a little to bolder prints and consequently add them to my closet.  Outfit Details: Top and sandals: Gift Jeans: Thrifted (G...
