Life Lately: 10/08/2015

By
Hello loves. I hope it's not too late to say happy new month. It feels like eternity since I was last here. So much has been happening that I hardly know where to begin, haha!
Over the last month, I have had to dedicate a lot of time to two things that are very important to me:
  1.  I have been working on personal growth, mostly on positivity as has been clear on my social media channels (Facebook and Instagram). You know those times when you feel like you need to refocus on things, recharge your batteries and re-evaluate your life? That has been me over the last month or so. 
  2.  I have finally managed to take a much needed step in the running of my shop, Botique i2s. As you are well aware, when I started my shop, I ran it online. But with time I realized that I needed a central place where I could meet those clients to whom I couldn't make deliveries. I spent a good chunk of time looking for a space that would be both convenient and comfortable for my clients and affordable for me. Thanks to my good friend Sidi, I managed to get a place in town where I can now meet my clients for fittings and pick-ups.
These are the two main reasons why I haven't been blogging lately.The third reason is due to an ill stroke of luck. Last month, we were broken into at home and the thieves made off with my laptop, camera and flash drive, crippling me completely. I didn't even know where to begin. But you know how they say every cloud has a silver lining? Well, I have gotten a new camera with which I am trying to teach myself photography! I have been taking photos for the blog forever and it's nice to finally have an opportunity to learn what happens behind the lens.
With that out of the way, I have lined up a couple of interesting posts which I will be working on and uploading as the month goes by. My schedule is C.R.A.Z.Y but I cannot imagine my life without my blog and you guys.



Something brief about my outfit, I have been struggling with how to wear these ankle boots to the point where I even considered giving them away. Then I remembered seeing a similar outfit in Stalker (the series) and I decided to recreate it. I paired these brown ankle boots with my favourite skinny jeans, a pink t-shirt and DIY sequin blazer which is now big and is going into the for sale pile. A pink lip and printed scarf as a headwrap completed my outfit.


Outfit Details:
Jeans: New Delhi, India;
Blazer: Thrifted + DIY
T-shirt: from my sister
Ankle Boots: Nairobi CBD

My Style: Mad About Denim

By
 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

By
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?
