IFB PROJECT: WHAT'S IN YOUR JEWELLERY BOX?

Newly acquired statement necklaces

Hi all!!
This week I decided to take part in the Independent Fashion Bloggers (IFB) project to give you a glimpse of what is in my jewellery box.

Earrings from:1. Gift from India, 2. Identity at Village Market, 3. Super Cosmetics

I've been doing a little spring cleaning and I've given out many of my older jewellery pieces to make room for new ones. So these are just a few of my current favourites.

Gloria Vanderbilt watch and bracelet set; gift

I collect my jewellery from everywhere. Be they high-end pieces or worth 20 shillings, if I like it I will get it.
Some of them were gifts from friends and relatives. Even though I am very picky when it comes to buying jewellery, I trust that those close to me know my style or I show them what I like, so they can have an idea when they go shopping.

Earrings from around Nairobi

How do I select what to buy?
I buy my jewellery in phases: I have an earrings phase, a necklaces phase, a bracelets and bangles phase and a ring phase. I think at the moment I'm between an earring, necklace and bangles phases.
I prefer to buy unique pieces that I will have for a long time.

Where do I buy my jewellery?
Some of my jewellery pieces are my go to every day pieces and some I save for special occasions.
I buy them from almost anywhere although I have identified some places that will always have interesting pieces: Nakumatt Lifestyle, there are two shops opposite Tuskys Beba Beba, Uchumi Aga Khan Walk and several stalls at Khoja as well as from hawkers. What can I say, I can't pass up a good bargain.

My Style: Mad About Denim

I feel like I have put up soo many denim-related outfits of late but that's because I live in jeans. I can't help it. Let's talk about these particular jeans. They are high-waisted and have a zip that runs half-way up the calf and the fact that they stretch a little really adds to their charm. I paired them with a blue multi-layered top which I found to be so cute and feminine and topped it all off with my striped blue blazer. I love the cropped style and fit of this blazer. It instantly smartens up any outfit that I pair it with. For shoes, I opted for my grey sneakers which I first appeared on the blog here . Pops of red, in the form of lipstick and a necklace, added some more colour and brightness to the outfit. Outfit Details: Jeans: Borrowed from my sis (Thrifted, Gikomba Market) Top and Blazer: Thrifted, Gikomba Market Shoes: Bus Station, Nairobi Earrings: Gift Necklace: Thrift Away (Instagram) Thank you for stopping by. xo

ABOUT

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) ...

HOW TO: Wear A Pencil Skirt | With a T-Shirt and Statement Necklace

Hello lovelies! My quest to learn how to style a pencil skirt continues. I was selling this skirt ( on Botique i2s ) some time ago but I didn't get someone to buy it. So I added it to my arsenal. I have worn it twice since. I previously paired it with a white button down shirt. For last Sunday's Church outfit, I wore it with a chocolate brown t-shirt and added a statement necklace to dress up the outfit a little. My tan brown wedges have finally made a reappearance on the blog. A lime green and brown turban completed the outfit. Outfit Details: Skirt: Botique i2s T-Shirt: India Wedges: Bus Station Necklace: bought from a friend Head-wrap: India I must say that I prefer this combination of colours more than with the white shirt. What do you think of it? How would you have worn this skirt? Have you checked out my online store yet?
