Miss Elly Turns Six

Happy 2020! I know I'm so late but there's no better way to get back into blogging than by marking my baby's birthday.
Baby girl is six today!
I've spent the day wondering how to adequately express my surprise at how fast time has flown and the joy this journey has afforded me.
Since she came into my life, I've wondered what mark I will make in her life, what lessons I will teach her, and though morbid, what memories I will leave her when I'm gone.
I do hope that when she's old enough to read these posts, she will have a glimpse into her mother's passions and get to know me a little better. Now all I need to do is be more consistent here.
This is for you Elly.
Happy birthday my love.

ABOUT

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) ...

MATERNITY DIARIES: First Trimester Memoirs

Hi all! I have just entered my third trimester and what better time than to document my experience from my earlier months of pregnancy. My first trimester was a blur. I actually don't remember too much from that time. What has really stuck with me was the struggle with the smell of food and the exhaustion. I remember I couldn't be anywhere near meat when it was in the early stages of being cooked. And in the event when I would be the one cooking, I would not eat that meat. I remember that other food smells didn't bother me as much as meat did. Another thing that I noticed was that I was eating a lot! It was not funny. Before I got pregnant I had a hearty appetite but those first three months were epic. I remember my sister wondering what was happening to me because my appetite had suddenly increased. For example, my eating would start at around 5:30 a.m. I would have cereals followed by tea and toast and many times an egg at around 9a.m. I would snack before lun...

Motherhood Chronicles: She Flew The Nest

Elly has started school! Motherhood is a continuous cycle of change. No sooner have you adjusted to a new routine than you have to drop it and start getting used to something new. My baby started school and I can hardly believe that she is old enough to strike it out on her own. Just this morning when we were leaving the house, she told me she could take herself to school because she is a big girl now (😢😢). When did this happen? Just recently she was so tiny and helpless and now she is so independent! Read my maternity series here For the better part of last year baby girl's most frequently asked question was, "Mummy, when can I go to school?" It didn't help that many of her playmates are of school-going age so during the day she would get so bored waiting for them to come home so that they could play. She didn't cry on her first day. I will probably attribute that to the preparation we did beforehand. I made sure to inform her months in advance that ...
