Shenae Grimes seen on Aug 30 2009 in West Hollywood, CA. "90210" cutie Shenae Grimes was spotted frolicking with friends at the Farmer's Market in West Hollywood yesterday, August 30, going for a sort of girly-hipster look. She started with a BFH (big floppy hat) that she paired with a black dotted romper (try Generra's more sophisticated Shift Jumper Dress in Black) and a very grandma-esque shoulder bag. She continued to accessorize with a skinny waist belt (like Pellemelle's Lifesaver Skinny Contrast Belt in Yellow), flat sandals, a silver charm necklace (I think Shenae would like Erica Anenberg Jewelry's Junk Charm Necklace in Sterling Silver), and a ton of beaded bracelets (I love the unique look of Castaway Jewelry's Sambava Bracelet in Maroon and Moss). What are your thoughts on Shenae's outfit - a mess or endearingly disheveled? While there is definitely no shortage of things to do in LA, Shenae has revealed the activity that is number one on her to-do list: the Hollywood Forever Cemetary! She says, "I’d go to a movie screening at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. I’d just pack a picnic dinner and make a night of it. I’ve never been there, but we filmed an episode of the show where we went there and saw Psycho, and now I’ve just got to make it happen in real life. I love movies, and I have a list on my BlackBerry of some of the older movies that I want to see. I just think I’d enjoy a low-key night like that where I could actually chat with the person I’m with and still enjoy a good movie and a nice meal." Sounds like a fun night to me!
Shenae Grimes seen on May 19 2009 in New York, NY. "90210" star Shenae Grimes was spotted waving for the paparazzi as she strolled around in the Gramercy Park area of NYC on May 19, in town for the CW Network 2009 Upfront Event, while sporting some seriously darker locks. What do you think of the darker 'do on Shenae - personally, I like it! For her daytime look, SG started with a navy and white polka dot romper (opt for classic black with Johnson's Wool Crepe Jumper in Black, which is now 78% off!) and paired it with a yellow waist belt (like Julie K Handbags' Katie Belt in Yellow) and a light blue cropped blazer (Qi's Military Jacket in Pearl Heather Grey is super cool). For the rest of her look, Shenae wrapped a gauzy black scarf (try Elizabeth Gillett Ltd's similar Rhoda Scarf in Black) around her neck, donned a pair of oversized aviators, and threw on a long black shoulder bag. The finishing touches? Lace leggings and nude wedges. There's no denying that there is definitely a lot going on in this look, but do you think she looks good? For those of you that caught the "90210" season finale, viewers are still not sure who Grimes' character, Annie, hit with her car. Shenae's co-star, Jessica Stroup, offers up her theories: "The funny thing is we all have theories. Every single of one of my castmates has a theory, and we have talked about it. We've gone through scenarios. I've said things like, "It's Ty! It's Brandon Walsh's dad!" We've said everything. We have no idea. I'm really curious as well. My pick, if I could pick who I think it could be, I think it would be interesting if it was Dixon, but not dying! I don't want anyone to die. I don't want it to be Dixon, but I think it would be a really interesting storyline for Annie to hit her brother and drive off drunkenly." What about you, readers... do you have any theories of your own?
Shenae Grimes seen on Nov 02 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. "90210" star Shenae Grimes was spotted picking up groceries at her local Ralph's in LA yesterday, November 2, and was all smiles for the paparazzi as she loaded up her car. Keeping it casual in a pair of light wash straight leg jeans (like Pierce Jeans' Pierson Slim Jean in Pacific) tucked into a short pair of Minnetonka Moccasins, Shenae paired a black tank (like Signorelli's Omni Peace Tank in Black) with a vibrant scarf (I love the pattern of Alchemy's Unicorn Scarf in Blue). She finished off her outfit with a pair of aviators, a gold cuff (similar to Kimberly Faith's Wrist Cuff in Brass with Gold), and a shiny patent hobo bag (take a look at Julie K Handbags' Debby Tote with Zipper Pockets in Black Patent). Cute! While Shenae might not have the best rep in the press, what with her chain smoking and rumors of anorexia and being a diva on set, Shenae has decided to speak out and set the record straight. She says, "Nobody has the right to invade anybody’s privacy or write false stories, even if the subject is a public figure. I know I have a good head on my shoulders. I think I’ve done pretty well for a Toronto girl who has moved to Hollywood alone. As long as I know I don’t have an eating disorder and I’m not a diva on set, that’s all that matters. If the people in America would rather believe otherwise, then my life will be proof enough." Hmm, what do you think- do you believe the media, or Shenae?
Shenae Grimes seen on Sep 23 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. "90210"'s new "good girl" Shenae Grimes seems to be set out to prove that she is anything but, by smoking up a storm while leaving a Los Angeles Trader Joe's on September 23, appearing on the cover of Us Weekly for her increasingly thin frame, and apparently being very difficult to work with and acting like a diva on-set. Seems like she's definitely got a very hardworking publicist! For her look while out smoking up a storm, start with a pair of must-have lace tights and pair with lace-up boots and a black mini (like Parameter's High Waist Mini Skirt in Black). Tuck in a white tank (similar to Hank Vintage Threads' Foil Crown Rib Tank in White) and throw on a black cardigan (similar to Zoa's Open Drape Cardigan in Black), and all you have left are the accessories. Shenae wrapped herself up with a black scarf (like Elizabeth Gillett Ltd's Imelda Shawl in Black), and toted what looks like a vintage Gucci bag over her shoulder. What do you think of her look here- yay or nay? Due to the fact that she is only 19 and getting so much bad press, Shenae decided to speak out about the weight and smoking issues. Of her thin frame, she said, "I personally think that people need to stop criticizing everyone in the media these days about their issues. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone pointed out all of your flaws and all of your mistakes... but that's what the media does to us." Um, hello? By starring in a television show you are putting yourself out there for public ridicule... get used to it, girly! Of her dirty smoking habit, she says, "I can't say that I'm proud of it, but there are so many people struggling with the addiction nowadays. I started smoking at about 16, and 1 in 5 teenagers smoke. I'm not going to really go into the issue, but my hope is that you will all just stop hating and get on with it. I smoke. My choice. I'm sorry if you don't like it, but this is who I am." Instead of saying you smoke and that's who you are, you should, um, maybe try quitting??
