So I got this press release in my email box today. I’m just gonna post it here and see what y’all have to say. I do like the last paragraph. I wonder how exercise, charity events and parties pay the bills. Atlanta, GA (August 2, 2012) Prominent Atlanta socialite and entrepreneur, Shereé Whitfield, known best for her role on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” announced the launch of her new boutique, shebysheree.kitsylane.com via Twitter on Thursday July 26. While starring on the show, millions of viewers watched Shereé build a name for herself as a fashion designer. Having once owned an upscale boutique in Atlanta called Bella Azul, her new ecommerce boutique, She by Shereé is renewing her passion for style & retail.
She by Shereé provides a perfect vehicle for Shereé to share her favorite pieces of fashion jewelry from Kitsy Lane as well as help emerging designers grow their businesses. Shereé joins an online community of over 2,000 female entrepreneurs within the Kitsy Lane network. Through her boutique, Shereé gives style advice, engages her audience and encourages them to create their own boutiques on Kitsy Lane. Shoppers will find big, bold statement jewelry, dramatic duster style earrings and great color pieces.
Her goals include continuing to grow her community and offer busy women easy style options in accessories. Kitsy Lane is the first of its kind social commerce platform, providing a tremendous offer for women to become their own entrepreneurs and run their own businesses, all online, for free. Shereé hopes to share her success with her customers, inspiring them to become social entrepreneurs and open their own ecommerce boutiques with Kitsy Lane.
“I’m so excited to be partnering with Kitsy Lane and supporting a community of women and their entrepreneurial efforts,” shares Shereé Whitfield.
In addition to her new venture with Kitsy Lane, Shereé continues to keep a full calendar including
a rigorous daily fitness regimen to stay healthy, charity work, and maintaining her status as a sophisticated woman on the Atlanta social scene.
The part when it said the show helped build a name for herself as a designer, I died laughing!
Shit by Sheree would be a great name for a store.
OMG is this NENE or someone else close to the show? Lol sounds like a whole lotta hating going on. Viewers don’t usually do so much research before leaving comments. Your detailed comments remind me of how investigators can tell if the murderer knew his victim by the overkill. Wow….whomever this is….miss truth hurts….you need counseling or the alter to leave your problems and prayers at! all in all, as long as a black woman is making money legally I’m all for it. She’s taking care of her kids the best way she can.
Yep – we watched her build a name for herself but it sure wasn't one most would want…So ShitBySheree is making a come back – just hope Kitsy Lane demands payment up front cuz' that's one hell of a long line to get in to sue her…Yep, I'm hating on her…
How's the house coming along? With all these business ventures she must be EXHAUSTED!!How DOES this woman pay the bills?WD
Has anyone checked it out yet? I just looked at the "boutique" and it is awesomely cheesy! Oh, Sheree (sigh) keep bein' you.
Hmmmm wonder what u doing for a living besides probably popping out babies to collect child support. At least she’s making dem ends meet! It looks to me like all of the so called ATL housewives are EX wives with no money or whores looking for the next quick fix.
I always thought that 'a passion for retail' was getting excited over the freefood samples at Costco.
I should also note that her publicist used the correct accent in her name (é), versus the accent grave (è) Sheree actually uses…
I keep picturing Sheree saying "entreperneurial efforts." Try it, it's fun.
I wanted to check out her "designs" – using the term loosely here, but I had to provide an email address. Hell no. I want no part of spam messages from this Hotlanta mess.elle_goblue!
I know this is off topic, but Mediafakeout.com is posting a major ass whooping took place during the Love and Hip Hop reunion show between K Michelle and Rasheeda. Tamara, is there any way that you can get some verification on this? I don't trust alot of what they post, but this one is just to juicy to pass up. I'm hoping your thorough investigative skills can add some authenticity to this story.
I clicked on the link to see what this is all about. It sounds like selling Avon. So, she is really not "partnering" with Kitsy. And I am curious how she helping other women in their quest.Here's what the About Us says about Kitsy Lane.ABOUT US Kitsy Lane empowers Boutique Owners to run their own online jewelry and accessories boutique on their own time – and making money while they’re at it.

I know, elle. I didn't check them out either. I will have to use my imagination… And anon, if MFO is saying it, it must be true. lol. Again, I don't follow LaHH but straightfrom the A does. She is the best source for that.
Missed the Kitsy Lane description. So you mean she might can get a pink cadalliac or something if she meets her sales quota?
Good for her, I hope it works out and if not this perhaps something else.
I had to check out the site since you posted it. It sucks she will not be paying for Chateau Sheree with this crap.I also couldn't help noticing there were NO CLOTHES!!! Somebody please call Dwight 🙂
The press release is a hoot and a half. I really feel bad for Sheree but she created this karma.
How can Sheree help other women develop their entrepreneurial ventures when she can't get her own sh*t off the ground?
I don’t believe she’s working a 9-5 so maybe she knows something about making money right?
All I have to say is I hope Sheree is successful and I wonder why she didn't take advantage of these types of opportunities when she was on RHOA
Sweetie, you can take advantage of these "opportunites" too. Just click the link and sign up. It's just like selling Avon, you pick the items you want to "sell" and just sit back and wait for the money to roll in. You can be in the fifth grade and avail yourself of this "opportunity". Let me know if you do, I'll write your press release. 🙂
good for her. at least she's doing something positive. and im sure she will get some sales (and referrals) based on her name.
and tamara.. you're leaving your "opportunity" on the table every time you make a blog post for free..
She also gets a check for 10K a month (check her divorce papers), nd she's incorporated in da state of GA. Nt rich but enuff to do a lil sumthin in da ATL.
Talk about personal!!!!!!!!! Wow why are you so concerned with Sheree’? I mean hardcore hatred and too much into Sheree’.
I was disappointed there weren't any clothes. I don't see how she's going to make any money. Those are some really inexpensive peices.
Poor,poor Sheree. So many opportunites, so little money. As always, the comments here are just as entertaining, as the articles.What I cannot get over, is not only the comments, but the TIME the comments were written..4:00am–WOW!
I agree with the above commenter. These comments are all personal and in the early morning hours when most people are still sleeping. Suspect for sure………..sniff sniff sniff the green eyed monster is alive and well!
The charities pay celebs to show up
I feel bad for her. She and Kim are still friends can't she get some hustle advice from her? Kim does not create anything herself but she goes after the endorsement deal. Like the Moscato. You do not have to put up any money either just use your name. I mean that is why her wig deal fell through with popwigs. They were not having it she wanted to say she designed and promoted with out putting up any money…but still keep throwing enough ishh out there something will stick. Even Nene the "fashionably Challenged" was able to get a clothing line…she is not designing but selling her name. Time is ticking…their fame is fleeting but the hustle is strong for the 15-30min. I don't expect Nene to do so, but Kim is her fwend…somebody anybody…save her she is drowning in denial.
Pitiful….
I got an email when I first signed in and then another email the next day. They could of at least waited a week…goodness gracious! I promptly unsubscribed. Don't need my email box cluttered with more nonsense.
How,dreadful
Let’s not hate on her.. but I signed up for Kitsy lane and they closed my boutique without giving me a reason. Guess I asked too many questions like one,,, why can’t we use Amazon Associates to even earn more money.. i don’t recommend Kitsy lane.
I LOVE THIS POST SO MUCH, LMAO !!!
Hi Tamara! I know this post is old and I am in no way and have never been a huge fan of Sheree’s, even though I see nothing wrong with what she is doing . I recently signed up for Kitsy Lane and when I was selecting items for my boutique I saw that Sheree is actually listed on the site as one of the designers, so she is not just one of the regular ’boutique owners.’ She has her own line of jewelry and accessories on the site. Not saying it’s an empire, but it’s definitely a big difference from a boutique owner.
