Links I Love: 27/11/2015

Every week I come across some very interesting articles that I always think about sharing. This series has been a long time coming. Welcome to the first post sharing Links I Love from around the web.

..............................................................................................................................................................

1. For the entrepreneur

As a solopreneur/entrepreneur, I have had to come face to face with aspects about running a business that I had been avoiding for a long, long time, case in point how to stop freaking out about money as shared by fellow solopreneur Jen.

2. Tutorial

A simple nail tutorial featuring nude and white nail polish.

3. New discoveries

As an English graduate, when I click on a blog, I yearn for material that will not only jog my brain but that will captivate me, much like Sharon's blog did.

4. A simple recipe

Minced meat in white sauce, yum!

5. Health & Beauty

These 8 beauty habits that you could be doing wrong opened up my eyes to how small, seemingly insignificant habits could be ruining my health.

Weekly note from the Editor

I hope you have had a great week and almost end of the month. Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate this holiday! My week has been hectic to say the least. I have been unwell for almost two weeks now but I am glad to say that I am on the mend.

This week the Pope paid a visit to my beloved country, Kenya, and while there were some complaints about all the fuss surrounding his visit, I was very happy to be breathing the same air as the earthly head of my church. Although I didn't manage to be physically present at the various functions he presided over, I followed them on TV and I am extremely impressed by his humility, simplicity, love for each human being no matter where he comes from or faith he professes, love for the environment and challenge to the youth to go forth and dream big, work hard and develop our talents! I like that his message to Kenya (and the world) was applicable to everyone and not a select few.

And on that positive note, I would like to wish you a lovely weekend. Keep safe.

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?
