T Rivera...


On this season of Love and Hip Hop there's a new girl on the scene by the name of Tammy Rivera if you all don't already know she is a newlywed to the famous rapper Waka Flaka. The couple recently got married and they look as happy as can be.

I watched last nights episode and found out that Tammy has her own up and coming clothing line called T Rivera and her her pieces are amazing. I took a at her look book today and She has created a lot of sexy looks from sexy leather boot cut leggings with gold detail zippers to mermaid gowns, high waisted leather skirts, body con dresses and sexy crop tops with their own distinctive hem line just to name a few. Tammy seems like one of the coolest cast members on the show reason being is because she tried to help Joseline Hernandez with her fashion spread for Hip Hop Weekly and on top of that I'm usually a good judge of character and she seems to have a kind heart and sweet spirit.

Let's take a look at some of her pieces from her look book

Enjoy!
