MID-WEEK REFLECTIONS

Hi all!!

I decided to start monthly feature called Mid-Week Reflections one Wednesday a month, to give you a brief summary of what has been going on in my life. I thought it would be a good way for you, my lovely readers to get to know me on a personal level besides my love for fashion and personal style.

On Blogging

As you might have noticed, I have not been blogging very frequently.

2013 has started on a different note for me, from what I had hoped. The holiday seemed to end too fast and before I knew it I was back in the office, with no editorial calender and very little inspiration for blogging.

I've tried all the things that I could think of to get my mojo back, but no amount of shopping, Pinterest or blog reading can get me back. I don't know what else to do.

On Life

My New Profile Picture

After going through very many ups and downs last year in my relationship, I finally decided to let go and take the giant leap into the unknown. I was terrified and excited at the same time; terrified because it had been long since I was by myself and excited because I was finally doing something that I had been thinking about for a very long time. And thank goodness I did. So many new things have happened that never would have had I not taken this major step.

I met someone who is amazing, to say the least. He's funny, understanding, has made me love the outdoors and doesn't judge me no matter what I tell him or I do. I feel so blessed to have met him (name withheld because I'm not sure he'll be comfortable with me naming him here).

On Moving On

In these first weeks of 2013, I've learnt so much about myself and about moving on. I now realize that in order to move on from past mistakes and previous relationships, I have to forgive. I've learnt to forgive myself and to forgive others and in this way I have found peace.

I have also learnt to let my no be no and my yes be yes. I came to see that I am too lenient at times, both with myself and with others. It had reached a point where making simple decisions became difficult.

This is a brief highlight of what has been happening in my life. I really hope I can get back to blogging soon.

How has your new year been?

Happy Wednesday

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) ...

WHAT TO WEAR: WHEN STARTING A NEW JOB 5

Bel t It Belted sweater and double brooch Over the last couple of months, I've lost weight. So much so that my clothes don't fit. So belts have become my best friend. I don't want to reduce my clothes because I know I will put the weight back on so I have opted to use belts to hold things in place and accessorize my outfits. Trending now is belting your coat. So take advantage and belt up your blazers and sweaters. Was this post helpful? xo Audrey You can also find me on: Facebook Twitter Pinterest Bloglovin Shop My Closet

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...
