I2s 2014 Highlights+ Appreciation

Have you begun counting down the hours to 2015? I have. And before ushering in the New Year, I have been looking back on 2014 and I could not be happier with the way this year has treated me. 2014 has tested me and blessed me in equal measures (see the lessons I learnt in 2014 here), but I am happy with how the year has been. Bearing that in mind, I would like share with you what stood out for me on the blog in 2014 as well as appreciating some very special people who have been through this journey with me.

2014 Highlights
March: Welcoming my baby girl. Elly is now nine and a half months old and getting more and more fabulous with each passing day

August: I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Wanjiru.Thank you my dear!

September: Celebrated my birthday with a new website on my own URL something I had been hoping to accomplish from my earliest blogging days. Along with this came the growth of my online shop and personal shopper services which I will be resuming in January.

November: I did a talk show on Ebru TV which cemented my belief in my decision to follow my dreams and keep working hard.



Appreciation
I would like to thank all of you, my readers, who have motivated me to keep writing. Your support has been greatly appreciated this year. There have been so many times when I wanted to quit but each time, I would receive a message on social media or a comment on the blog that would get me back to my blog. In that strain, I would like to say a special thank you to Merilyn, Sidi, Gloria, Lisa, JB, Daisy and Becky for your comments, shares, and words of encouragement.

I would also like to thank Alvaro who put together this website and has helped me with the various technical issues that I have faced. Thank you so much.

And JB for designing my logo, header and business cards.




And of course to The Man for his continued support and for being an amazing partner, father and friend.

These are just some of the people who have come to mind as I am typing this. I thank all of you for your continued support, wish you a prosperous 2015 filled with joy and laughter.



Happy new year from my family to yours!

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?
