LIEBSTER AWARD

By


Last week, Shasie of Live Life in Style awarded me the Liebster Award. This is the second time in less than a month that I've received this award. I feel so honoured to have received it yet again.

A little about the award
The Liebster Blog Award is an award given to bloggers by bloggers that have 200 followers or less. Basically, just a fun way to support each other and show some love for having a great blog. 
When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person(s) who nominated you. 
You pass the award onto 11 other blogs (make sure you let them know you nominated them!) and ask them 11 questions. 
You are not allowed to nominate the blog(s) who nominated you. (To get the button, right click the photo on my page and save to your computer to post on your blog)
My answers
Since I've just received this award, I'll just answer the questions Shasie asked me.

 1. Why did you start blogging?
I've had a love for all things fashion since I was a little girl. Some time in 2010, I came across my first fashion blog, College Fashion and I got hooked to it. I visited the blog on a daily basis and in my free time I would go through their previous posts especially the ones giving styling tips. Then last year, an idea came to me to start a blog of my own. At first I was unsure of it until my younger brother and sister and a very good friend of mine pushed me and told me to go ahead, I had nothing to lose. And so Inches To Style was born.

 2. Who are your style icons?
I greatly admire my mum, she has great style. She hasn't given in to society's demands that a married woman of her age should dress in a certain way. She dresses the way she wants, but at the same time she is both stylish and elegant.

3. Tell us your favourite bloggers.
My fave bloggers are:-
Catherine of Not Dressed as Lamb
Kashara of Undiscovered Worth

4.What's your favourite fashion magazine?
That would have to be InStyle. I'm an addict!

5. What's your favourite item in your closet right now?
My new lace dress and brown pumps.

6.What's your plan for New Year's?
I haven't thought that far. I'm still planning parties for this month.

7.Where do you see yourself in your blogging career 5 years from now?
I want to have established myself as a Kenyan fashion blogger with a wider audience within Kenya. I started my blog to help women in my country to be stylish and elegant so this is very important for me.

8. How did you come up with the name of your blog?
I wanted to incorporate all the things that I believe make up a stylish, elegant woman, who a guy will admire but not lust after. Instead of bombarding women with all the tools that can help them with this, I thought of doing it little by little, moving inch by inch to style and elegance.

9. What is it that you love about fashion?
You mean apart from the colours, textures, styling options, catwalks? It's all so exciting and you can never get bored with fashion.

10. Describe your personal style in 3 words.
Classic. Chic. Elegant.

11. What's your favourite genre of music?
RnB.


Happy Wednesday

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...

Rediscovering myself

By
A few blog posts ago I alluded to struggles I'd been facing for a few years now. I said that I would address these issues here soon but honestly, I didn't know when would be a good time. So I thought that today is as good a day as any. Last year I was diagnosed with trauma. It had been years in the making, a result of an emotionally abusive relationship and years of challenging events with seemingly no respite in sight. Although I had eventually gotten out of the relationship, I had unconsciously allowed this person's opinions of me become so ingrained in me that I had lost all knowledge of my former self. I lacked self-confidence. I blamed myself for many things that had happened in my life. I was perpetually sad and struggled to find even the smallest things to smile about. I had no motivation to do even those things that I loved. I would take photos and see my smiling face but deep down I knew that was just a front. I was broken, a shell of my former self. Now I'm no...

Blogging Challenge Day 13 | 5 Ways I Learned To Be Happy (No Matter The Circumstances)

By
Like everybody else, I began this year on a very positive note. I hoped for a better year than I had had in 2017. I had a plan that I laid out and I was determined to accomplish a lot of what was on my 2018 list. I once heard someone say that sometimes you plan and it doesn't work out not because you haven't put in enough effort but because God has other plans for you. So the first three months of 2018 were completely upside down for me. Everything seemed to be going wrong. I won't lie to you and tell you that I carried on happy in spite of everything that wasn't working. I struggled to smile, to wake up in the morning, to face my day, to be around people. However, I was determined to find lasting happiness. I wanted to find a way that would ensure that I remained happy even when life seemed to be going against me. I did my research and tried out a few things and found the 5 ways listed below that I have now been putting into practice for the last four or so month...
