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.

CELEB STYLE WATCH: SOLANGE KNOWLES

By
Hi all!! Ever since I started knowing anything about fashion and style, I had people I admired, people who I tried to imitate in my dressing. Even now there are some people I consider to be my style icons. I don’t want to imitate their style blindly, but pick out certain aspects that really stand out to me and reflect my personal style. In polka dots One of those people is Solange Knowles. I originally preferred Beyonce’s style but there is something about Solange Knowles that I absolutely love. She has a bold style and isn’t afraid of playing with colour. Solange Knowles trending in stripes  I love how she is adventurous with prints, cuts, hairstyles and hair accessories and not forgetting make-up. Solange Knowles on the red carpet Solange Knowles adventurous with prints Images Do you like Solange Knowles’ style? Let me know in the comments below. xo Audrey For blog updates follow me on  Facebook ,  Twitter ,...

PLACES TO VISIT: KARURA FOREST

By
Hi all!! Travel is one of my passions. I've always wanted to visit new places and learn new things. One of my resolutions this year is to take time out to visit different parts of Kenya. And then I will share the posts with you. My first Places to Visit post is on my trip to Karura Forest. A little history about the forest:  Karura Forest is located in Nairobi. Several tributaries of the Nairobi River flow through the forest. The forest is managed by the Kenya Forest Service and when there were threats to use parts of the forest to put up housing, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai working through her Green Belt Movement, put up a fight to protect the forest and hence one of the city's water catchment areas. And in that way, one of our most important indigenous forests was saved from encroachment. My Experiences from the Trip: I went to Karura before the weather became cold and rainy. Although it was very hot that time of year, once inside the forest,...

Style Challenge Day 18 - Dress down your favourite little black dress

By
The little black dress has to be my favourite fashion item of all time. I believe you can't have too many black dresses. For today's challenge I picked this black dress which has leather detailing on the shoulders. I last wore it on the blog here . I paired it with Toms, a trend that I can't get enough of. I absolutely love the contrast of a smart dress paired with sneakers. In cooler weather I would have added a denim jacket but seeing as the sun is closer to the ground these days, I opted to go without the jacket. I felt I needed some colour hence the necklace. I have started becoming a huge fan of smaller earrings. I wear these at least three times a week. What is your take on the whole sneakers with anything and everything trend? Have you tried it out? Do share in the comments below.   Outfit Details: Dress: Thrifted Shoes: Borrowed from my sister Necklace: Instagram (Thrift Away) Earrings: Gift Thank you for stopping by. xo
