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.

HOLLYWOOD INSPIRATION: Neon Dress

By
I'm a huge fan of bold colours, so you can guess how excited I am about the neon trend. When I saw Jennifer Lopez in this neon yellow dress and pink heels I was so happy to realize that this is a very easy outfit to redo.  Image via Yahoo Here's how I would style this dress.  I chose this other dress because I love the cut and I thought I would style it as well.

ACCESSORIZE: New Hair Accessories

By
I recently got my braids out and relaxed my hair. Well actually it's been more than a month. Having my hair out for me means that I have to find interesting and creative ways to style it. One way of doing that easily is to use cute hair accessories from hair pins to headbands. I've done a previous post on headbands that I had my eye on. I bought these a few weeks ago and thought I'd feature them in my blog. There's a specific man from whom I buy hair clips from. He always has such cute ones. I got one of Angry Birds!!! But I forgot to include it here. (The child in me!!!) The flower hair clips come in more colours but I had to narrow down and pick just a few. I find these colours to be fun and refreshing, ideal for summer! And as usual I had to include a black one in the haul. I bought these headbands at the same time as the Angry Birds hair clip. I didn't keep them in the same place. I guess that's why I forgot about it. Hmmm seems to me ...

WHAT I WORE: Cropped Sunday

By
Hi all!! Happy new week! My love for crop tops has reached an ultimate high. So much so that I got one of my old t-shirts and made a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) crop top. I wore it yesterday, paired with my blue maxi skirt. I added a scarf, heels and a clutch to complete the outfit. With the weather being as confused as it is, I have all my clothes on standby. There are days when I choose warmer ones and others, like yesterday when I go for something more summery.  I have had these box braids for three weeks now and I must say, I am still in love with them. And, I’m becoming a pro at holding them in a bun. I now want to look for a new way to style them.  Outfit Details: Maxi Skirt: gift from India Crop top: DIY, gift Sequin and lace Scarf: Gikomba Market, Nairobi KSh. 50 Heels: Moi Avenue (hawkers) KSh.100 Clutch: Ngara Market, Nairobi KSh. 100 Bangles: Sarojini Market, India Loop Earrings: gift Have you tried wearing crop tops yet? ...
