i2s BEST MOMENTS OF 2013

Hello lovelies!

2013 has been an iconic year for me and the blog. So much has happened this past year. There have been good things and some obstacles. All in all, 2013 was a memorable year for me. I have put together some of the most iconic moments for the blog and aspects of the fashion world that struck me.

Maternity Diaries Series

My most memorable moment of 2013 was when I discovered that I was expecting a baby. After the initial shock, announcing to family and friends and finally getting the chance to tell the all my lovely readers, I created the Maternity Diaries series to document my outfit choices, diets, emotional, physical and spiritual changes that I am going through, all with the aim of inspiring all mothers-to-be.

Celebrity Style Icons

2013 has been a breakout year for quite a few celebrities, style-wise. Kerry Washington, Lupita Nyong'o, Blake Lively and even Miley Cyrus have made a huge impact on the fashion world. Crop tops and bold lips a la Miley Cyrus, cute dresses in various cuts and styles a la Kerry Washington, are just some of the few fashion statements that have become a must-have for all fashionistas everywhere. Lupita Nyong'o in particular has stood out in a special way. She has graced the red carpet, done magazine photoshoots and appeared on talk shows in outfits that are both simple and absolutely chic.

i2s Online Store

2013 saw the relaunch of my online store. The store's main focus will be maternity clothes and clothes in sizes 14-20. I want to cater for those women who might find it difficult finding fashionable clothes in their sizes. Another important aspect of the shop is that I take orders of my buyer's preferences and source clothes for them. Visit my shop today for the Christmas Sale.

Mentions and Opportunities

This past year, I have received quite a few surprises. Bata Kenya used a photo from my blog in an article they published about the best shoes to wear with a maxi dress or skirt.

Thanks to your support, I have had a wonderful 2013 and had more opportunities in the fashion industry. I will definitely share more with you all come next year. Look out for an all new Inches To Style with more interesting content. Remember if you have any suggestions of things you would like to see featured, please let me know and I will incorporate them on the blog.

Thank you for a wonderful year. Wishing you all a superb 2014!

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?
