Common Thread X SHENTONISTA: Nonchalance Personified

Veena is undeniably a looker. From her porcelain skin and lustrous locks to her long limbs and poised demeanour, she cuts a wholly feminine figure that is both youthful and elegant. It’s an interesting contrast to her predominantly monochrome, minimalist outfit, although each piece stands out on its own. Her blouse features a curved cut hem and shoulder cut-outs, her shorts feature an overlaid skirt flap – nothing too dramatic but yet with enough detail to elevate the look. “I look to blogger Rumi Neely for style inspiration. I adore her undeniable nonchalance, she’s one of the few who can absolutely rock just a simple cami-and-shorts with boots outfit. She’s got a real eye for minimalist styling with unique textural twists and she’s very real and relatable.” Admitting to a serious case of the sweet tooth, Veena keeps her figure trim with gym, Zumba and dance class. She’s also careful with her diet when she can – right now she’s obsessed with Graze boxes. “They’re compact little cardboard boxes of healthy snacks that get mailed to me every week. Basically I browse their website and rate their snacks and they send my favourites. It’s the highlight of my stress-filled weeks at boarding school,” she mused. “They also drain my bank account!”
