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.

Father's Day Meal Idea

By
They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. With Father's Day coming up this weekend, I thought it would be a fun idea to share an idea of a meal that you can make for Father's Day. Butter Chicken This is one of my favourite Indian recipes. I like it because it doesn't need too many spices, you can do without the chilli and the chicken and gravy just melt in your mouth.  Ingredients:  Chicken (you can opt for boneless chicken) 2 tablespoons of yoghurt Red chilli powder to taste (optional) Crushed ginger and garlic Garam masala Tumeric powder Onions Tomatoes Butter/Cooking Oil Cashew nuts Salt Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken in a bowl, add yoghurt, red chilli powder, crushed ginger and garlic, garam masala and salt. Make the tomato gravy: In a pan, heat the oil. Saute onions until translucent. Add tomatoes and sprinkle some salt. Cook until they turn soft and mushy. Add red chilli powder, garam masala and cashew nuts. Fry until...

OUTFIT: Warmth In A Trench and Ankle Boots

By
This was one of those days when you dress up and realize your outfit is too dull. I had worn black trousers, a chocolate brown turtle neck and a black trench coat then I realized that the dull colours were too much. So I added this coat, sort of like peplum, and added this red scarf for added colour. I layered the black trousers with a pair of thick stockings because their fabric is too thin for the cold. I didn’t feel much like accessorizing so I just put on simple earrings and a scarf. I wore black ankle boots. The boots have a block heel which up until yesterday I had been wearing only to and from church. But yesterday was a changing point in my life. These boots have joined my category of comfortable heels to wear while walking around in town. They were a gift from my mum a number of years ago and to this day they are still in good condition.     Now I’m curious, what are your go to outfits when it’s cold? What colours do you gravitate towar...
