HAIR CHRONICLES: Human Hair Weave

Hello lovelies! So this was my first attempt at putting an Virgin Indian Remy Hair weave and my third attempt at putting a weave. I was given this weave as a gift and couldn't wait to try it. I have never been a fun of weaves. I'm always afraid of feeling too hot or being that lady on the street with an old, uncombed weave that lacks luster. But I have started to realize that life can get quite boring if you are afraid to try out new things. So I took this opportunity to try out a real human hair weave.
My experience with this Virgin Indian Remy Human Hair weave was good. I had asked a good friend what her experience was and her words made me even more curious. It was a nice change from braids and lines. I was quite taken with the texture and volume of the hair. I found the hair to be quite long and it took a bit of getting used to. With Elly getting more and more adventurous every day, I ended up tying it into a ponytail more often than I had wanted because she would get her fingers entwined with the hair and we would have a tag of war to free them. I didn't feel too hot mostly because the weather has been quite cool. I have discovered that when I put a weave in the cooler months, it keeps me warm and I reduce chances of any discomfort.
One of the best things about human hair is that it looks real! A friend even asked me what I had done to my hair (that was before I explained that it was a weave). It can also be washed and reused a good number of times. The next time I put it I want to try and get it styled after all, I've always wanted to try curly hair!

Have you tried human hair weaves? If yes, what was your experience? If no, would you try it? Do share in the comments below, on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

Happy Thursday and thank you for stopping by!

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.

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?
