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) to style. It no longer covers fashion exclusively but includes facets of my life, like motherhood and wellness, that I believe are important and that would be a source of inspiration to anyone looking to find and express their true self. 

My blog is centered around budget-living. I like the good things in life, like everyone else, but I choose to live this life on a budget. I showcase this particularly through my fashion pieces which, more often than not, are thrifted, gifted (i.e. hand-me-downs) or DIY. You can be sure to find a lot of restyled pieces here as well as designer duds bought at a fraction of the price.


Me in a nutshell

I’m a single mum of one beautiful daughter. 

I love the digital world and creating content for it.

I have worked as a personal shopper, personal stylist and wardrobe consultant.

I love challenging situations particularly those that make me come out of my comfort zone and force me to make use of my talents.

I’ve found that you have to make the conscious decision every day to be happy and to enjoy your life. Don’t let anybody or circumstances dictate your happiness.

A labour of love: Long days, bee stings and a global premiere

By
“Amkeni” roughly translates to “Rise Up” in Kiswahili. This is the call of Chambuko Amkeni, a community-led conservation group involved in mangrove restoration and protection. In 2025, I had the honour of working with them to document their journey on women’s leadership in coastal and marine conservation, climate change adaptation and the blue economy, for a collaboration between Mission inclusion and the BBC StoryWorks'   for the   Living Legacy Series . This was my first time working on a project of this magnitude not to mention one that would have a global audience. To say this has been one of the highlights of the last two years is an understatement. Just thinking about it, my heart swells with pride. I feel like a mother watching her baby grow and come of age (please don't tell my daughter this!). With members of the Chambuko Amkeni Group Leading the production of Amkeni with my amazing colleagues was a true labour of love. A vision come to life thanks to the support o...

ACCESSORIZE: 4 WAYS TO WEAR A SCARF

By
Scarves are an important part of a woman's wardrobe. I have a few but I borrow mum's prettier ones once in a while when I want to change up my look. Scarves can be worn in a variety of ways which can make your outfit and bring out another side of you. Around your neck. Scarves worn around your neck both functionally and as a decorative piece. I like to wear larger scarves when it's cold as the extra layers give me added warmth. When the weather is warmer, like now, I think the daintier ones would look marvelous and you wouldn't feel at all uncomfortable because unnecessary extra warmth. My take: Tied on your bag When I noticed that I had carried the same bag the whole week, I thought of finding some way to make it a little different. So I looked for a scarf  and added it to my bag and voila!!! The scarf not only added some colour to my outfit but it also served to tie in the colours of my outfit. My Take:  As a headband Whether you...
