Hello everyone, I do hope you had a fabulous Christmas and New Year's. I
sure did, and I took time out to find myself and get my mojo for the
blog up as I got ready for 2015. Last year wasn't my best blogging year.
I didn't do a lot of what I had planned so I said I would push myself
to do better this year. In fact my only new year's resolution is to quit
being lazy: regular blogging is one of the things that I hope to get
back into. With that said, I wanted to give a breakdown of what to expect on Inches 2 Style this year.
What's new in 2015?
Last year, I got really interested in everything DIY (Do it yourself): I taught myself a good number of ways to style natural hair, braids, tie turbans and even attach a weave. I am also a huge lover of DIY in the clothes department and have gathered a good number of ideas which you will see on the blog and for sale in the shop in the coming weeks. I also got a request on how to do a few of the nail polish styles that I had been posting on Instagram (@inches2style). I will also take the time to schedule some of these tutorials on the blog.
Why so many tutorials you might ask? I am on a money-saving, teach-your-self plot. I have realized that many of the things we pay people to do we can do ourselves if we just make a little effort and take the time to learn. One of the biggest hurdles I have faced when looking for tutorials is the fact that many come in video form. I love watching videos but this is not a luxury I can indulge in as often as I would like. So I will do my tutorials in picture form and in time, maybe do both pictures and videos, to make them more accessible.
Another aspect of the blog that I have been asked about is the motivational posts I used to put up. Recently, I changed how I did things and started posting motivational words/thoughts on Instagram. I do so every morning and have been getting a phenomenal response. If you aren't using Instagram, you can follow my Tumblr here where you will have access to all that I post on Instagram with updates and links on the happenings on the blog and in the shop.
Outfit posts which fall under the Momma's Closet category here on the blog, will be done twice a week for the time being.
Along with those, you can expect more celebrity style posts with ideas on how you can remake a celebrity's outfit: I will do this by taking a vote on the favourite celebrity outfit posted that week and I will redo the outfit the following week. You can cast your vote in the comment section below or on Facebook and Instagram.
The stylist posts will also continue. These posts will be more of a news update of current trends and how to wear them, answers to your style questions and commentaries on fashion-related news that may occur.
You will also see a continuation of the plus-size fashion posts every week. Articles on body image will also be featured alternated with the plus-size fashion posts.
In summary:
Monday: Stylist
Tuesday: Momma's Closet
Wednesday: Tutorial
Thursday: Plus Size Fashion / Body Image
Friday: Celebrity Style
Monthly posts
Once a month I will do a special feature on one Fashionista. If you know somebody who would be a great style inspiration, do suggest him or her and we will organize a chat. You could send me an email at inchestostyle[at]gmail[dot]com.
Other montly posts include Mid-Week Reflections, a post about a life lesson I have learnt or put into practice that month.
Posts on Baby Girl
Every once in a while, I will feature Elly on the blog just to let you know how she is doing.
Suggestions/Recommendations
As you can see, 2015 will be full of activity here on the blog. If you have any suggestions on tutorials or style questions or anything at all that you would like me to feature here, do not hesitate to contact me at inchestostyle[at]gmail[dot]com.
What time will posts be up?
Posts will be going up every morning at 7:00. I look forward to interacting even more with you this year especially through your comments. Sharing is caring after all!
Thank you for your continued support!
