However, this month I want to shine the spotlight on the <b><a href="http://www.billionairebeautydolls.com/">Billionaire Beauty Boutique</a></b>, who I discovered on Twitter a few months ago. What made this boutique stand out for me was the celebrity inspired trends that is sold on the site for affordable prices. Female entrepreneur, Tenika, set up Billionaire Beauty Boutique in 2007. </span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOvbyvKINqqaAq5nQDPwi2tPJk7lj7_fSZCe4O2JLdQPKB3gOcK-gYey5FQOdqrpQnmLl8R7jj00a1ZCOuobb-5MgWb_1Fz7CkhQluQR-TpJAz4DpA64dvClHzGnr4wwSEZx55uYZSvJI/s1600/1feace_5e3cedc9a913d2a0aec3ab58b5471f99.jpg_srz_574_364_75_22_0.50_1.20_0.00_jpg_srz.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="404" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOvbyvKINqqaAq5nQDPwi2tPJk7lj7_fSZCe4O2JLdQPKB3gOcK-gYey5FQOdqrpQnmLl8R7jj00a1ZCOuobb-5MgWb_1Fz7CkhQluQR-TpJAz4DpA64dvClHzGnr4wwSEZx55uYZSvJI/s640/1feace_5e3cedc9a913d2a0aec3ab58b5471f99.jpg_srz_574_364_75_22_0.50_1.20_0.00_jpg_srz.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Get the same earring Emily B is rocking</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Billionaire Beauty </b>is a online boutique selling celebrity inspired trends for an absolute bargain. You can buy shoes, dresses, accessories seen on celebs such as Rihanna and Emily B for great prices. I caught up with the lady behind the brand to find out what exciting <br />things she’s got planned and what inspired her to launch the boutique.<br /><br /><b><br />1. Hey Tenika, Thanks for agreeing to the interview. How are you?</b><br /><br />Im doing very well thank you, just very busy organising a fashion/ music vlog with a <a href="https://twitter.com/mafiella">@mafiella </a>creating a Diva Team of musicians, stylist, make-up artists, jewellery designers and models.<br /><br /><br /><b>2. Wow... your a busy woman. So, what inspired you to set up Billionaire Beauty Boutique?</b><br /><br />I have always loved fashion and been inspired by urban hip hop, high street and designer fashion. I started an online boutique in 2007 selling the latest urban sunglasses by designers <a href="http://cocoandbreezy.com/">Coco & Breezy</a> who were relatively new to the market & they went down <br />very well. I have always read magazines with the latest up coming designs and really pride myself on showing what is about to happen next in the fashion world whether from the streets or the runway</span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhscilUiatiFtK1dkt8wOngBN91wYewHGflqB8HdyxbEuiVuIlJk7b1-0q4s3hEYDO9v_tc7XgOuLEp9OCR1bZ6LtFt0mmSrAlvaZjpnrXRSt-l0DXkTN8WNGrO6o8GpuyfQycKvJi-amE/s1600/COCO_and_BREEEEEZY_NYC_copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="544" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhscilUiatiFtK1dkt8wOngBN91wYewHGflqB8HdyxbEuiVuIlJk7b1-0q4s3hEYDO9v_tc7XgOuLEp9OCR1bZ6LtFt0mmSrAlvaZjpnrXRSt-l0DXkTN8WNGrO6o8GpuyfQycKvJi-amE/s640/COCO_and_BREEEEEZY_NYC_copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Coco and Breezy</td></tr> </tbody></table> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><b>3.

She is always creating new trends off the runway and high street for her fans, this is even shown in her <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/rihanna-for-river-island">collaboration with River Island</a> and her new affordable collection is urban street camoflague & military style pieces which are very masculine/feminine in their design. </span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgspfHFf07ePQ2YDuctSKrRCp5X3WEiyniyssjVLk8_Gx28vV11qQ1PJ3j-92NkmZxH8J3O2gAHPnBMO4fxeRmglFxgX45u8iIB2akbqysIlAQ3fg85REX-is_tFYUXTLjaYWlS7mtoWHs/s1600/c20131109-riri-launch-galcover.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="590" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgspfHFf07ePQ2YDuctSKrRCp5X3WEiyniyssjVLk8_Gx28vV11qQ1PJ3j-92NkmZxH8J3O2gAHPnBMO4fxeRmglFxgX45u8iIB2akbqysIlAQ3fg85REX-is_tFYUXTLjaYWlS7mtoWHs/s640/c20131109-riri-launch-galcover.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">RiRi River Island  Launch event</td></tr> </tbody></table> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><b>4. With London Fashion Week approaching, are there any particular fashion collections you are looking forward to seeing?</b><br /><br />I love <b>Versace</b> and <b>Dolce & Gabbana</b> and look forward to seeing their designs on the catwalk. I know that fur & leather will be a big feature this year. I’m excited to see what transcends to the high street & also affordable pieces that we can showcase to our customers. I always keep up with this information via <a href="http://www.fashionblagstheblog.com/">@fashionblag</a> on twitter she is an incredible blogger, always at the forefront of the latest trends straight from the runway.<br /><br /><b><br />5. Do you think London Fashion Week 2013 needs to have more fashion models and fashion designers from diverse backgrounds?</b><br /><br />Yes, I most certainly do as thats why I appreciate urban fashion more as I'm able to see a range of colors and sizes. The high street is also seeing that fashion is for everybody and now showcasing peoples individuality as opposed to one specific look. I do appreciate <a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/naomi-campbell-fashion-more-racist-2277409">Naomi Campbell and other models highlighting this issue and being ambassadors of change.</a><br /><br /><br /><b>6. What’s been the most popular item sold on your boutique this year?</b><br /><br />The most popular items is our <a href="http://www.billionairebeautydolls.com/#!vintage/c127k">Accessories Collection </a>as it gave a feel of old school 80’s Hip Hop / Pop fashion with the big gold chunky chains & big pendants. They worked well with everyday looks & nights out. We have now stocked more fashion items such as the latest celeb style dresses as seen Rhianna, Nicole Sherzinger, Keyshia Kaoir, Paris Hilton, Khloe Kardashian & the list is growing. We are excited about the new direction of the store and look forward to a new relaunch this winter and look out for us in 2014!! </span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdz6BvdPudjFBwDXayTPQRqgrj_pmMRmRfI8mZRHZeBfGgML-nGNizkpZoYXsTYp2FmY8F1q_5nXQuPiK0BfNemaLdzQvmmQLgj4ROD8-CLa0thhXo7RRxaGUy-PUDb36OQcWXX3ZMXO8/s1600/1feace_57562d0b1bb8a0362712bc6f54a63ed6.jpg_srz_354_400_75_22_0.50_1.20_0.00_jpg_srz.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdz6BvdPudjFBwDXayTPQRqgrj_pmMRmRfI8mZRHZeBfGgML-nGNizkpZoYXsTYp2FmY8F1q_5nXQuPiK0BfNemaLdzQvmmQLgj4ROD8-CLa0thhXo7RRxaGUy-PUDb36OQcWXX3ZMXO8/s320/1feace_57562d0b1bb8a0362712bc6f54a63ed6.jpg_srz_354_400_75_22_0.50_1.20_0.00_jpg_srz.jpeg" width="283" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Love this necklace!</td></tr> </tbody></table> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioJKx-lkb1NQJ-VJAuxLn59NpOa66XgrxQqqEl5pzoHN1FE0uYNYobpk7ZaARKdgAsqZjJDrI_9Qu9sGwXDkAj69J1CaJEjLrEN-egsl0cVCswH5JDlwCo87YtUNZNI0Qu0n4-1_mOqJQ/s1600/0-1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioJKx-lkb1NQJ-VJAuxLn59NpOa66XgrxQqqEl5pzoHN1FE0uYNYobpk7ZaARKdgAsqZjJDrI_9Qu9sGwXDkAj69J1CaJEjLrEN-egsl0cVCswH5JDlwCo87YtUNZNI0Qu0n4-1_mOqJQ/s1600/0-1.jpeg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGorCy4KPHGrR8mRAFClWRSmywMmNdvLQ6_hwXV16EwslA0kR08Ox0Lr9nenHut9gfaACLHwpTjIqejR8fSmr6jieJ-2H37VES6M3Psn2PXTqR1VU8aKfivgqIRp1p2Dtmfx5treOfS34/s1600/0.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGorCy4KPHGrR8mRAFClWRSmywMmNdvLQ6_hwXV16EwslA0kR08Ox0Lr9nenHut9gfaACLHwpTjIqejR8fSmr6jieJ-2H37VES6M3Psn2PXTqR1VU8aKfivgqIRp1p2Dtmfx5treOfS34/s1600/0.jpeg" /></a></div> <br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><b>7.
