The start of Ri(t)ch Styles and how it spread its roots :)

I am in a nostalgic mood today. As the Blogversary date is drawing closer, I can't help but reminicse the wonderful moments that the blog has given me from when it started in 2009. It's been a great journey and I have grown in various and positive ways :)

2009 to 2013 - Cheers!

For those of you who don't know much about me other than what you see on the blog, here is a backgrounder on me in simple words:

I’m a media professional by profession and a personal style & fashion blogger and stylist by passion :) I toggle between the two between day and night.

How did Ri(t)ch Styles start?
Way before I started the blog, I used to do makeovers in my free time and personally shop for people because most of the stuff I wore or bought was appreciated and people wanted to know how they could get their hands on similar stuff and good deals and how to put together combinations and tips and all. Reading has also been a passion and so while reading all the lovely fashion blogs a few years ago, I decided that one of the best ways for me to express myself would be through my own personal blog where I could share my ideas and that’s how Ri(t)ch Styles came into being. Ri(t)ch Styles was originally known as 'Fashion from around the World' as I used to travel a lot and pick up a lot of stuff while travelling, but after marriage, a tip from PS gave me the brilliant idea to change the name to Ri(t)ch Styles :) Apt as it relates to my name RITCHA and to my personal style.

Why I chose fashion as a topic?
Fashion is what keeps me going. It is a daily part of me and it is what I express myself through and involves my entire look. At the end of the day, my happiness is majorly dependent on what I am wearing :)

So with the support of family and best friends, I started my blog and that is how it has reached today to where it stands spreading it roots further!

The L'Oreal Paris's Stay Rooted Jad Se Judein video has moments just like I have had through my life and reminds me that we all start small. You can check out the video here - http://bit.ly/JadSeJudein
