SHENTONISTA

"Some of my guilty pleasures are steamboats, wine, and gin and tonics.”

“If I could choose to live anywhere in the world, it’d definitely be Spain—I visited once on exchange, and I loved the food and scenery.”

“I’m a carefree person; I don’t like things that restrict me. I like freedom and that applies to my clothing as well—it’s loose and comfortable.”

“It’s a bit daunting to some people but I like pairing clashing patterns. If I have a loud top on, I try to tone it down with a simpler pattern for the bottoms.”

“I work in a high-strung environment but I sill manage to smile at the end of the day. Everybody can be stupid sometimes, right? You kind of expect everyone to be as perfect, but it's usually not the case.”

Wrapped around your shoulders, hanging around your neck or tied up into a headband, a scarf can add some much-needed flourish to your outfit.

“I wish someone had told me when I was first starting out that it’s okay to fail sometimes. I feel that education sets us up to value preconceived notions of success, but sometimes you just have to stick to what you believe in.”

“The most ridiculous thing I wore would have to be skater skirts, when I was a teenager. I don’t know why I thought they were cool; they didn’t flatter my figure.”

“A tip I’d give to someone who's just started working would be not to fear failure, and face it.”

“A hidden talent I have is that I can dislocate my shoulder on purpose. I discovered that by accident while dancing.”

“My childhood pastime was cycling around in the neighbourhood and looking for push-cart food stalls—this tells my age!”

“One thing I wish I had more time to do is meditate—it helps me find peace among the chaos.”
