Accessories by Abiye in ELLE UK and COMPANY magazine

Hiiiiiiiiii guys,

How's your week been?! Hope all good :) Mine has been amaaaazing! and here's why:

Today I'd like to share with you how I got into ELLE & company magazine. A few months ago (June '13), I was got an email from a lady worked for ELLE who said that ELLE loved my accessories and thought Accessories by Abiye would be perfect for a feature in their magazine! I read this email about 10 times in the space of 2 minutes - I literally couldn't believe it.

Being the African that I am, I had to call the number at the bottom of the email to confirm that this wasn't a 419 scam (LOL.. God please forgive me).. Anyway, I spoke to the lady and she confirmed everything that had been said on the email and asked me to send them photos of my work, my website address, contact details and a short bio on AA...

After sending them photos, about 3 weeks ago, she got in contact saying 'Hi Abiye, we love the photos, would you like to be in COMPANY magazine aswell?'. I'm like... whatttttttttttttttt??? Of course I would.. that's like asking if I want to breathe lol.. Anyway, fastforward to last Friday, I got a parcel through the post from ELLE & COMPANY of the recent magazines that featured AA. I shared this on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram (follow me there, if you don't already).

Here it is ladies & gentlemen, our feature in ELLE UK & COMPANY's September 2013 edition which is out now. I literally cannot believe my eyes, and as you may have guessed, I've bought every copy I can lay my hands on & sometimes, I walk into a store that sells magazines, I open a COMPANY magazine just to check that its there... I literally have to pinch myself each time... AAHHHHHHHHHHHH Its unreal! The best feeling ever!!!

I really really really have to say thank you to:

* God!!! He's just great! He takes the undeserving & gives them things that they wouldn't have dared dream, asked for or even imagined! He's faithful!

* My family! My mom, dad & sister are literally the most supportive family EVER! I thank God for giving me you!!!

* Rolake, Martin, Chinelo, Ugochi, Davosky, Natalie, Temi Oni, Layo & Dami... No one knows this, but these people are the brains behind AA. They come up with the best ideas are so dedicated to AA! God really blessed me when he gave me friends like these! Thank you so much for your constant love, encouragement & support! God bless you!!

Have a wonderful day guys!

Love,
Abiye xoxo
