8th Blogging Anniversary + Changes

By
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!!

ABOUT

By
Hi, I'm Audrey. Welcome to Inches To Style☺ How it started I fell in love with fashion at an early age. In fact, I wanted to be a model and when I realised that I wouldn’t make the cut because of my height, I decided that I would become a fashion designer. I’d been making clothes for my dolls for years so I knew that was a career path I would love to pursue.  I didn’t study fashion nor did I become a fashion designer but my love for clothes and putting outfits together stuck with me.  On September 12, 2011 I wrote my first blog post, after I discovered the world of fashion blogs and got hooked. I thought to myself, “I can do this! I like writing and I like fashion, so why not?” And so Inches To Style was born. What to expect from the blog At first, I wanted this blog to be a source of inspiration for anyone looking to up their style game. As time progressed and my personal style and lifestyle has evolved, I found the name of my blog quite fitting as I’m moving inches (closer) ...

Intro

By
I love clothes, shoes, bags, jewellery and all things fashion. When I walk on the streets, go to offices, parties or even when I’m meeting people, I can’t help but notice what those around me are wearing. I like to take in their choice of outfit, the shoes they chose to wear and the bag they chose to carry. I look at the make up the lady has applied, is it too much or just enough? What hair style do they have? Is the outfit appropriate for the particular time of day and/or event? When I read newspapers or magazines I quickly flip to the style pages, something I’m sure many, many girls do. As I walk through the streets of Nairobi after a somewhat long absence, I can’t help but notice how Kenyan ladies as well as the guys have embraced the latest fashion trends. However, I feel disconcerted when I see people follow fashion trends blindly. As ladies, more so as African ladies, it’s important to remember your body type when choosing an outfit. Not all the trends that are in are flatteri...

Miss Elly Turns 3

By
 Tomorrow my baby turns 3! Can you believe it? I definitely can't. She's growing up too fast for my liking. As the days go by she gets more and more independent and I'm not certain how I will cope the day she doesn't need me at all. Over the last year, baby girl has grown by leaps and bounds. She's getting taller and prettier (if I do say so myself) everyday. She opens doors by herself and just the other day she told me to let her get in and out of the bath tub by herself. Omg! When did this happen! She even wants to bathe herself, pick her own clothes and dress herself. Her speech is quite well developed. You see when Elly started speaking, she used to say one word, then she moved on to phrases and now she makes whole sentences. I remember when I first realized that she can make whole sentences, I was so shocked. I couldn't believe it. And she isn't afraid to keep learning even pronouncing harder words like punisher and chatterbox. With the progress ...
