The Minimalist Pursuit

Hey readers!

Haven't blogged in a mega long time; should be doing my work now, but decided I could afford to take some time out to blog today. Plus I recently got these gorgeous brogues from Shoecult by Nastygal; well, I needed new shoes cause my two old pairs of creepers are dying out like dinosaurs. Plus another few buys from Feistheist (love their minimalism btw)~


Today I've gotta go out again, so may as well do a mini-shoot eh :)





Pretty informal, but here's to an awesome #ootd :) Ignore the bedhead I slept with wet hair :( 
What I'm Wearing: Feist Heist White Mimosa Blouse, Bershka Skinny Jeans, Nasty Gal Charlie Oxfords, Forever 21 Silver Rings and Tear Drop Necklace


Makeup: Did my brows, dabs of concealer, a subtle cat eye with brown eyeliner, and staining my lips with sephora matte red lipstick
I personally really like the idea of staining one's lips cause it adds a subtle pop of colour without going overboard for daily wear, though someday I do want to wear my (full-blown) dark purple lipstick out. 

Hope you've enjoyed the outfit in this post, cause I'm loving' it; always keeping in mind comfort + style + class.

Love, Jubitai

When Inspiration Hits | Music

Hey readers!
I've been wanting to update my blog for so so so long, but haven't gotten down to it cause photoshoots just take so long, especially since I don't have a photographer as of yet (I rely on self-timers); it' super time consuming. But that aside, today, inspiration hit and I wrote a song :)
Watch the vid below to check it out!


I know I'm still quite raw at this, so do pardon any mistakes/nonsensical lyrics and stuff (especially the last part :( )! Meanwhile here're the lyrics for you to follow while watching the vid~ 

Here's What I'm Not

Verse 1:
I'm not just here for your entertainment, your clown of five years
I'm not just here; your thrill ride seeker, dream spurrer
I'm not just here to take your burdens 
Here's what I'm not, not for your mere expectations

Chorus:
Here are my thoughts of little consequence which may not mean a thing to you
Here are my overridden voices taking centerstage, take the mike from you
I'm drawing the veil, breaking the heart ache,
You left in your wreckage

Verse 2:
I'm not just here; your wine glass partner, turn the corner
and I'll be there no matter how or why
I'm not just here to take your burdens 
Here's what I'm not, not for your mere expectations

[Chorus]

Bridge:
I wasn't kidding when I said promises are meant for keeping
I wasn't kidding when I said forever is forever
I wasn't kidding when I said promises are meant for keeping
I wasn't kidding when I said promises are meant for keeping

[Chorus]

What I'm Wearing: F21 Velvet Skater Dress, Sephora Matte Red Lipstick

And as usual, the happy shots to end off!

Much love,
Jubitai
