SHENTONISTA

“Something not many people know about me is that I have a secret collection of Hello Kitty things.”

“The best decision I've ever made was any one that was spontaneous, and that I didn’t have to overthink.”

“I like to challenge myself physically, and can be quite a tomboy about it. I completed a Spartan Race earlier this year, and go indoor rock climbing frequently. However, I am quite clumsy so I’m often covered in bruises and cuts as a result.”

“I’ve recently started bringing my own lunchbox around. I’m trying to reduce the amount of waste I create, but that’s also a big part of vintage and secondhand fashion which is something I love.”

More than just being Shentonista’s resident queen of spicy food, Olivia approaches work and life with a similar fire.

“I’d like to see a world where people are mindful of the finite nature of resources, and change their lifestyles accordingly.”

“If a crow could speak, it would probably have many dark, morbid things to say!”

“I was previously working in entertainment, but now I’m working in e-commerce. It’s been a while and I wanted to try something new. so I figured it was time for a change.”

“I work as a legal counsel, but on weekends I give tuition to children from low-income families, as part of a program organised by my church.”

“If I had a theme song that played every time I entered a room, it’d be Omen by Disclosure and Sam Smith—I feel like dancing every time I hear it.”

Plain, sensible pumps and sneakers are wardrobe staples, of course, but if the occasion calls and your mood needs a pick-me-up, have some fun with footwear that will help you stand out in all the right ways.

“I like a peaceful life, but I always feel the need to change things up every now and then because I get bored. I’m trying to work on projects around the world, so I can move somewhere new every two years or so.”
