Bones

Hello Fashion Lovers! This week's interview is with Mr. Bones of BoneHead Clothing Company! Bones was awesome to speak with. He had tons of great business tips and career insight. I really appreciated Bones' love and knowledge of art. It is not everyday that you come across a designer invested or interested in ancient cultures to create fresh, modern looks. I loved the fact that Bones was honest and detailed with his answers. My interview with Bones was chill and very informative. Keep scrolling to read more about Bones of BoneHead Clothing Company.

Where do you work? What is your occupation?

I am a full-time father and worker. I work for Target selling cell phones during the day and I work full-time for myself, BoneHead Clothing, at night. I am the founder, designer, and creative director of BoneHead Clothing Company. BoneHead Clothing launched on November 29, 2013. My partner and sales representative is Mr. Aaron Jordan. He is more of the suit and tie guy of BoneHead Clothing.

What was your motivation behind starting BoneHead Clothing?

My motivation behind starting BoneHead Clothing was seeing the grind behind other brands. Mark really inspired me to keep going. MADE was the first local brand to start and a lot of success. Other designers inspired me as well. Kanye West was also a big motivator for me. I like his style. I love style as a whole and the art of dress. I love the art of fashion. I do not care for labels anymore. I also pulled a lot inspiration from Zummies.

Antonia Martin

I am so excited to share this week's interview with you all. Antonia Martin is a fellow blogger and a good friend of mine. Her drive and goals are really inspiring. If I need someone to help me get focus or think outside of the box, then I can definitely depend on her. When I think of what it takes to succeed as a blogger, it's more than just talent. You have to be nice and bold enough to reach out to people. Antonia is all of those things and more. It has been a pleasure watching her blog grow and seeing her grow as a woman. Go ahead and dive into this interview with Miss Antonia Martin of Curvaceous City!

What is the purpose of your blog?

My blog is to inspire women to view themselves as important or special. I want to change the course of the world through women if we value ourselves as beautiful women and less as bad women. We can encourage our men and children to be better.

I HATE This!!!

Be better than ever before.

I literally hate when I see people not following their dreams. It kills me inside seeing people live mediocre lives when they have extraordinary dreams and talent. So I am writing this post begging you to go for your big dreams! I promise you that you'll regret not trying more than you will ever regret failing. Life lessons come from failing. Mistakes should be used as tools!

Do you recall the last time that you tried something for the first time? Well get yourself up and try something new. What is stopping you from going out on a limb and taking a big chance? You see where you want to be, but you refuse to take that leap of faith. Why? Well below I have listed a few ways to help you stop living mediocre!
