Turning heads from news stands in an eye-catching pink and purple pattern, she holds up a surfboard.
It seems an appropriate image, as she opened up about how she stays active to keep her toned figure in shape.
'I have a flat tummy, but I'm not rock hard. If I'm going to be in a bikini, I'll train more and skip desserts for a couple of weeks.
'But usually, I work out to feel good,' she said.
'Exercising gives me endorphins and energy. I do it four days a week.
'I Spin with Candice Accola and Claire Holt from the show.
'Running is my solo time; working my muscles outside in fresh air is therapeutic,' she added.
Nina's also not a fan of Hollywood's obsession with being thin.

'Starving to be skinny isn't my thing,' she said.
As The Vampire Diaries rounds out its fourth season, the driven star has plenty ahead to look forward to - with one very famous movie star motivating her to the top.
'I want to open a yoga studio, direct someday and be in an action film, like Angelina Jolie!' she said.
