Tutorial | Headwrap

Turbans are a new obsession of mine. I did a post on how much I love them here and I have been scouring Pinterest looking for new and exciting ways to tie a turban. The Badu headwrap is no exception. I stumbled across it on Pinterest and fell in love with it. I have worn it here and here and will definitely continue to fall back on it this year.

The tutorial is fairly simple:

1. Gather all your materials.
You will need:
-Two headscarves: I chose one simple black one and a very colourful, statement making scarf.
-Comb and hair band
-Lipstick/ gloss to finish off the look

2. Comb/tie your hair in the highest ponytail you can. This is my best trick to ensuring my turbans don't fall off my head. I use my hair as an anchor/base for the turban


3. Take your first scarf and tie it around your head. First, make a knot as nearest your forehead as possible. I usually make a knot at the base of my ponytail. Holding onto one end of the scarf, wrap it clockwise around your ponytail. Tuck in the loose end securely. Then proceed to wrap the remaining end of the scarf counter clockwise and tuck in the loose end securely. Tuck in any loose fabric or strings to make a neat wrap. Ensure this first wrap is secure as this will determine how well your second scarf sits.

4. Next, tie your second headscarf on top of the first turban with the same procedure. Try to keep your headwrap as neat as possible.

5. Finish it all off with a bit of lipstick and you are ready to dazzle!
***NOTE: The bigger the first turban the bigger and more statement making your overall wrap will look.
Do try this tutorial and tag it #i2sheadwrap so I can see how well yours turned out.

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?
