102 MIAMI LIVING
Shenae Grimes is done being on a screen.
For now, anyway.
Ah, but that's only because, these days, she'd much rather be…well,
on you.
See, the Canadian actress – whom most of you will know from her
cameo in
Scream 4 or, more likely, from her five-season stint as sweet
Annie Wilson on The CW's
90210, or whom some of you may even
remember from her turn in the career-launching Canuck drama
Degrassi: The Next Generation – is now a designer.
A designer of timeless, vintage-inspired jewelry, to be exact.
The L.A.-based Grimes, or, actually, Grimes-Beech
(she married Josh Beech, a British-born musician, in
May 2013, and, I'm told, she prefers the hyphenation)
has put acting squarely on the back burner to devote
herself to Two Halves, a venture she launched with her
husband earlier this year.
And what is Two Halves, you ask?
Well for starters, it is a natural progression for her as an individual, and
for the Beeches as a collaborative unit.
Grimes-Beech told us when we got on the horn early one morning last
October, that this endeavor of hers, and her husband's first, started
coming together when she launched a fashion blog a couple of
years ago. That was the seed.
As it stands today, Two Halves began to flourish once husband and
wife got to sharing their passions in
matrimony and after she noted that she
wasn't pleased with the way her original
blog was being run.
Shenae Grimes-Beech tells us what it's been like to go from 90210 ingénue
to newlywed to the wife-half of Two Halves, the latest,
mustiest jewelry line to come out of Hollywood
