Style File: Shenae Grimes

Since landing a leading role in the noted 90210 series Shenea Grimes has not been a stranger to the spotlight. People fell in love with her character Annie Wilson and something tells me she's here to stay. Like every other 'new' celeb people want to know the person behind the character and find out what they like, who they date and especially what they wear!

Most celebs when they start out they still need to find their way in Hollywood and with their fashion style. Shenae is no different.
Personally I think she could use the help of a stylist to vamp it up a little more and to show more of her personality in her wardrobe. Because right now her fashion style isn't very memorable

What do you think?

Ripped jeans can easlily be made. If you have an old pair of jeans in your closet you can pimp it up and update your look.

1. Do some research. Look online and in fashion magazines for the best-looking rips.

2. Most jean companies seem to place them in areas that you wouldn't naturally tear.

3. Decide upon the jeans. Use old or new. Try jeans from a thrift shop for practice.

4. Decide upon the size of the rip. It may enlarge each time you wash your jeans.

5. Decide upon the shape of the rip. You may wish to extend a rip in several different directions.

6. Decide which techniques to use. You may wish to let the fabric become thin on its own. A few techniques, to begin the process, may be all that's needed.

7. Gather your jeans, coarse sandpaper, pumice stone, wood file, grater, utility knife, scissors and a small, flat block of wood.

8. Draw a cutting line or pattern on your jeans with a pencil.

9. Place a block of wood inside the pant leg beneath the area.

10. Rub and scrape the fabric in several different directions. Use sandpaper, a pumice stone, wood file and grater. These will fray the fabric.

11. Loosen fibers by scraping with the blade of a utility knife.

12. Using the scissors, cut a hole through the loosened fibers.

13. Retain all of the loose fibers. They will progressively fray each time you wash your jeans. Use a dryer for fluffier fray.

14. Wear colored nylons or stockings beneath your ripped jeans. (... or don't)
