-- Series Brims With Tips, Inspiration, Advice and Guests --

SILVER SPRING, Md., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Restaurateur, lifestyle expert and former model B. Smith will host and executive-produce the new, one-hour weekday series B. SMITH STYLE -- a fresh, modern and accessible look at ways to create style and ease in everyday life -- on Discovery Channel, beginning Monday, December 6 at 12 PM (ET/PT).
Renowned for her impeccable style, beauty and warmth, B. Smith delivers a steady stream of inspiring tips, hot trends and gracious living ideas in B. SMITH STYLE. The series offers a broad slate of topics, including cooking, healthy living, fashion, design, home decorating, community involvement and entertaining with style. Featuring themed episodes, viewer interaction, on- location venues and celebrity guests, B. SMITH STYLE provides a wealth of exciting and easy ways to enrich busy lives with flair, fun and adventure.
Smith says, "B. SMITH STYLE brings an exciting, new and true-to-life approach for viewers to explore fabulous food, home decor and fashion trends, doable gardening and entertaining tips for everyone."
Each hour-long episode comprises six segments, all of which are tuned into a central theme. The segments are personally branded to a "B." and include "B. Chic" for fashion, "B. Inspired" for home decor and "B. Healthy" for fit cooking. Woven throughout each episode, "B. Smart" tips give the lowdown on everyday living in clever, creative and helpful ways.
Themes for B. SMITH STYLE episodes include "Classic Styling," which considers the accessories, jewelry, makeup and outfits that exemplify classic looks personified by such icons as Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O; "Jazz Brunch," which was influenced by Louis Armstrong's still-intact Queens home and features a memorable gathering with imaginative invitations, '30s and '40s era dress, retro glassware, tunes befitting the legend and a mouthwatering menu; and "Comfort Zone," which includes tips for seeking refuge from the hectic pace of stressed-out schedules, like baking old-fashioned recipes, taking up knitting and wearing the ideal lounge-around wear.
A hallmark of the show, "B. Heard," celebrates the host's interaction with loyal viewers, as write-in questions from discovery.com give B. the opportunity to respond with advice and suggestions on relationships, room makeovers and reliable recipes.
B. will be visited by celebrity guests, who are relevant to whatever topic she is tackling, whether she is taking viewers behind the scenes at a party in Donald Trump's penthouse apartment; dreaming up cocktail desserts with famed Olive's chef Todd English; visiting TV and hip-hop star Eve as she launches her new clothing line, Fetish; serving up healthy food with Sarah Ferguson; or taking up yoga stretches with Cheryl Tiegs.
With each B. SMITH STYLE episode, B. aims for the most accessible route for her audience, creating a sense of calm for the viewer as she presents elegant and exciting projects and recipes that won't create frustration or crash budgets ... but are designed to impress others and bring on the fun. And throughout the series, B. guides, encourages, emboldens and enlivens with tips, instruction, inspiration and advice ... all with the signature B. Smith style.
B. SMITH STYLE is produced by True Entertainment for Discovery Channel. B. Smith, Dan Gasby and Steven Weinstock are executive producers. For Discovery Channel, Mary Donahue is executive producer.
