Behind The Scenes x My Mania Magazine Feature.

I got featured on yet another magazine as a blogger again and not a model. To think that at a point in my life, I was really dreading the moment I was going to have to finally take out the title “model” from my name but the switch has been so easy! And it helps that I still get to be on magazines regardless.
My first proper feature as a blogger was on Guardian life with some of the best Nigerian bloggers out there! I blogged about the experience here.
This time around, I was featured alongside male fashion blogger Akin Faminu (check out our dapper style collaboration post) for an editorial spread for Style Mania.
The theme of this edition was centred around blogging/bloggers in Nigeria and also featured other bloggers like Noble Igwe and Ez of BeautyinLagos)

I love documenting the behind the scenes of my shoots, something I started as a model sharing my model diary with you guys. So of course, I also have some behind the scene pictures to share from this mania shoot.

My first look was this peplum top and skirt mix. I can’t recall the designer but If you buy the magazine, you can find all the details there. The shoot was also done with a polaroid camera, I’m not sure why though but that was the creative direction.

My second and third looks were my favourite! Unfortunately, I didn’t get a full picture of the green dress and the polaroid pictures didn’t do a good job in getting the outfits but it is by Designer Gozel Green. Same goes for the red dress, which was easily my fave! I think red is my colour, as evidenced by this dress and the red jumpsuit in this post.

Who else loves my lipstick in the picture up there? That makeup was my favourite!

I also contributed to this edition as well, asides from the editorial. Like I said this edition was an ode to bloggers and I love that the blogging industry here is currently on a rise and bloggers are being celebrated/ recognized more. Unfortunately, more than a few people still don’t understand the whole concept of blogging or what being a blogger means as I talked about in my previous post on the different reactions I’ve gotten from people here.
I got a couple of bloggers to explain the movement and importance of bloggers to those who haven’t gotten with the program.
To read what they had to say and see the full feature, just get a copy of the magazine for yourself!
