10 Things That Are In My Bucket List

By
It's been so long since I planned to do something fun and out of my usual routine.  Now that I have decided to use this year to find myself, I thought it would be a good idea to review my bucket list. For today's post, I want to share ten things that I have always wanted to do in the hopes that it will hold me accountable and also inspire someone out there to go out and do something for themselves.
Without further ado, here are 10 things that are in my bucket list, in no particular order.
  1. Go snorkeling. This has been a dream of mine since I discovered what snorkeling was. Can you believe I have only been to the coast once in my life! I'm hoping to change that this year and while I am there, I want to go snorkeling.
  2. Go bungee jumping. I'm a bit of a control freak but I want to loosen up a little and I think bungee jumping will be a good way to start.
  3. Polish my French. I studied French in uni and sort of let it go over the years but I want to change this. I have come across this site which I plan to use to start my refresher course. I then hope to visit a French speaking country (not necessarily France) where I can practice and polish my French.
  4. Learn another language. I am a language buff. When I lived in India, I picked up a few Hindi words and could understand quite a bit by the time I left. I have also done the first few levels of Spanish but I stopped. So, once French is in the bag, I want to embark on another language, maybe Italian or Arabic.
  5. Travel. When I first got a passport, some 11 years ago, I swore that it would be full of visa stamps. I have managed to travel quite a bit over the years and for that I am grateful. But the travel bug is still biting and I'm hoping to do quite a bit of local travel for starters: Kenya, Tanzania, Congo. I have been to Uganda so that's one Eastern African country complete. I hope to take my daughter along with me as it seems she likes to travel too.
  6. Up my cooking game and possibly document it. I have discovered that I love cooking. I find it therapeutic and I love the thrill of trying out new recipes (whether from a cookbook or from my head) and seeing how they come out (usually quite good). Would you like to see some recipes on the blog? Do let me know in the comments.
  7. Learn kick-boxing.  My obsession with kick-boxing started out of anger and frustration. I needed a new outlet and kick-boxing seemed like the perfect way to let out steam.
  8. Get a tattoo. Another of my obsessions.  I got a piercing on my lip some 6 years ago, was it and got rid of it out of pressure to conform. Now I want to get something that is for me, something that I will look at throughout the years as a reminder of how far I have come. I'm yet to decide on what kind of tattoo but as soon as I do, I will definitely be getting one.
  9. Try scrapbooking. I have so many memories that I want to eternalize and a scrapbook is the perfect way. Photos to be printed, recalling good times and testing the artist in me with all sorts of art to accompany the memories, sounds exciting.
  10. Go out to a movie at least once a month. I used to go out to see the latest movies and then stopped for lack of company but as I try to embrace enjoying my own company, I think a movie date would be great.
What are some of the things on your bucket list? Do share, I hope to expand mine. There's a whole 9 months left of 2016 to fill with fun and exciting activities.

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?
