She Has A New Project In The Works

by Shorey Andrews

If you have not yet caught up what the heck Shenae Grimes has been up to, then I must say, shame on you! Since wrapping up her role as Annie Wilson after the 90210 reboot came to an end, Grimes has been a busy lady. She met her dream man in 2012, British model and musician, Josh Beech, and after only nine short months of dating, these two love birds decided to get hitched. Since the big day, the couples love for each other has only grown stronger after they incorporated their personal lives, with business. The result was the launch the lovers partnering blog, Two Halves last year.

The passionately driven duo set out to create a space where both of their lifestyles could co-exist, while also allowing other people in the world to enjoy those same highlights. A perfect match of music and fashion is what brought the blissful business union together, and now the pair's franchise has begun to get even bigger. Recently, Grimes announced the release of her and Beech's clothing line, Two Halves on the Canadian blog, Style List. The Degrassi: Next Generation alum describe to readers a clothing line that was inspired by her new found love for making jewelry.

My husband started a streetwear company called Cut & Run London before we met and in the last year, I messed around with a few handmade jewelry designs for sale on his site. I quickly learned that I really enjoyed making jewelry I wanted but couldn't find and, after much encouragement from the hubs, decided to get some of my designs manufactured properly!After we received my first few finished pieces, we both got really amped by seeing them in the flesh. He quickly asked if I'd want to extend our brand from our blog to an online store and finally do this thing together.

No word yet on a launch date, but Grimes promises an authentic mix of bohemian vibes and rocker edge for Two Halves's debut collection. She went on to state that items will be trendy and timeless, but most importantly cost effective with no items marked over $100. Sweet. Having interned for Teen Vogue, written for Nylon, and appeared on America's Next Top Model as a photographer in Cycle 19 Grimes has a solid background in fashion. I have to trust that this Canadian-born, California-living artist, knows exactly what she is doing.
