Featured on Hello Catherine!

Dear Self,
I'm featured on Hello Catherine! *Deep yoga breaths* She writes so well, I love her feature. I'm completely and utterly flattered at her mini tribute to the Another Surography duo. I think she is now one of my muses. What's there to think? She IS! Damn this girl, she is a myriad of inspiration for me :)
Love,
SVdB

I love the splashing of water image. Chanel Calendar.

Pretty In Ink

Hannah Holman with the gorgeous eye make up, you may not be inked, but the fellow behind you surely is. I adore this photograph, there's just something about it. Is it the contrast of inked skin and clean skin? Is it the youthful glow? I don't know what it really is, but it's simple in composition, and the ink makes it somewhat complex. Did you enjoy this shoot? Looks like a fun time.

Raphaël Susitna

Catch me I'm falling... Sometimes I feel like this in my dreams, until I wake up with a semi-violent jolt that brings me back into reality, breathing fast and hard. The fall in these photographs are just illustrated so beautifully, I don't think that my dreams of falling could ever compare. Beautiful work Raphaël.

Love

I absolutely love this shot by Rodney Smith. Perfect shot for a pre-nuptial shoot, or better yet a wedding day shot. I love the way the arched support structure of the bridge frames the couple. The monochromatic color palette with burst of yellow (taxi cab) is eye catching yet genius enough, that it does not subtract from the main feature that is the couple, it is simply superb! The simplicity of this color palette and the complexity of the direction behind this capture is simply beautiful. Love.

Starbucks & Prada

Casual (creative) office chic. I sat on one of my desks to take this photo. I should've used another lens, but I love my 50mm, so it's close up. I'll post a photo of my pants later. I've got to run.

The Businessman: The Jet-Setter

A touch of sportswear chic to the business wardrobe. A fitted black tee paired with your tailored suit and a pair of cognac/dark tan leather heeled loafers does the trick. An Italian leather weekender (with beautiful patterned lining!) is perfect to throw in all the things you need for impromptu meetings, taking you from the plane, to a breakfast meeting, golf course, office and then to dinner or an awards night.

Autumn Bijou Pen & Inkling

It's officially the first day of Autumn today! You can feel the crisp cool air heralding that winter is just around the corner. I'm completely ecstatic (that I just might pee my pants ;-P) that when I woke up this morning, I wasn't greeted with the suffocating humidity that seems to be present in this (past) Australian summer. Most importantly, we're one step closer to winter fashion! Breathe. Oh how I love coats, jackets, boots, tights/leggings... breathe... turtlenecks, scarves and all things luxuriously textured and warm. Deep yoga breaths. A/W is my favorite fashion season(s), so shoot me.


In a rush. I just thought I'd quickly pop in and start up a blog again after having ceased to write/post a few years back. So yes, I'm back with my pen and inkling. ;)


N.B. EVERY femme can wear 'red' lipstick, it's just a matter of finding the perfect shade for you. I'm naturally a winter color palette (will blog about this next time I'm not running in heels 'rushing') -- I finally found my perfect shade, it's a 'blue-red'. I wear Rouge Allure Laque (75 DRAGON) by Chanel.


Stay beautiful,
Sidney Van der Bailey
