Q: Where do you gather your inspiration? JB: Inspiration comes from various places, street style photos that I see online and I might decide to do a post around a particular look. Celebrity style is also a great inspiration. I frequently post photos of celebs and give tips on how you can achieve their look or from a photo I’ll put together a look on my own inspired by that picture. I also love to showcase young women whose style I admire and I would interview them for a feature, I particularly love when they have a skill whether it’s that they are a designer, make-up artist, director etc.
Q: Why do you like blogging? JB: I love how blogging has made me more aware of other designers, styles and trends that ultimately inspire me as a designer. It’s hard work though and I’m really not doing it at the level that I want to because blogging can be a job and I have about three others lol. I’ve also met a lot of cool people through my blog whether it’s people I’ve contacted to do a feature on them or vice versa.
Q: What
would you say are some of the benefits of blogging?
JB expressed that she was introduced to the world of blogging by her older sister in 2010. “She told me that it was a good route to take if I wanted to push the clothing line as well as showcase my personal style. It was a little scary at first because I didn’t think my style was that great to have a blog and I wasn’t sure what to say but overtime I’ve gotten more comfortable and it has proven to be a great way to showcase the YC and GlamHEAD products”. JB has been blogging for little over 2 years, let’s find out what the experience has been like for her thus far.

JB: A huge benefit has been the new audience who are now aware of YC and GlamHEAD just from reading my blog. It’s also cool to help others push their products (and in turn you get free stuff) lol.
Q:
How often would you say you blog?
JB: I try to blog everyday but due to other commitments it can be every other day or sometimes four days out of the week. I really try to post something everyday though even if it’s just a picture that can give some style inspiration.
Q: If your blog had a mission statement, what would it be?
JB: Lol...”To keep people talking about you...not your personal business, but your style”
