New Years Eve Party Dress INSPIRATION

Thank you for the overwhelming response regarding suggestions for the blog come 2014. I am so excited for some of the new ideas I've received, & look forward to putting these posts together for you in 2014. 

My vision for the Fashion by Brett Robson blog is essentially personal style, & showcasing ideas to inspire the use of affordable, fashionable pieces in your closet. This post is a perfect example of some of the inspiration I would like to share with you. If I was going out on New Years Eve, this is how I would dress. I have selected party dresses that I think are beautiful, & that will make a statement.

I look forward to another successful year as we continue our journey in fashion.

Have a great Christmas & blessed New Year.

My SUMMER Playlist

Bikini ? Roxstar

As the year truly starts to wind down, I am super excited to have a few "Do Nothing" days. Yes, I shall lay on the beach all day. I  have plenty tv shows; books to read; & of course music to listen to. So I thought I would share a few of the songs you can find in my playlist.

What songs are you loving right now?

Monochrome Monday. When last have I done one of these?! Today I am road-tripping to Johannesburg. Why the road trip? Well, we need to be in Swaziland on Wednesday, so we will be heading there straight from our meeting on Tuesday. Fun right?

Creme De La Creme {OOTD}

 Neck piece (Gavin Rajah x LEGIT) / Bag (Blackcherry Bags) / Skirt (H&M) / Heels (Forever21)

Blackcherry Handbags asked me to be a part of their Blogger Challenge. All I had to do was style this lovely cream & dark mint tote. I decided to try a more feminine look. I even changed my hair - in case you didn't notice :) 

And let's just take a moment to appreciate the beauty that is this stunning neck piece from the Gavin Rajah x Legit collection. Wowza!!!

The Printed Dress {OOTD}

Dress (The HUB) / Heels (bought in New York) / Clutch (bought in China)

How pretty is my dress?! Im all sorts of bias on this one as it's a dress I worked on at work. If you remember my post on my career. Basically this is the final product of something the company I work for has done for our awesome customer The Hub. I literally was there making sure the fit was right & all other random details but yeah, I just love seeing something come to life. 

** I thought I would try a different image size. What do you guys think?

#WhatsYourBB? Garnier SA is looking for you!

Garnier has recruited me, & a few other bloggers to help spread the BB love with this awesome #WhatsYourBB campaign. 

During this campaign you can look forward to reviews, spot prizes, & most importantly the search for 1 special lady to join me for a special pamper day with Garnier & the 5 other participating bloggers & their chosen readers in Johannesburg. Sounds fun right?!

While the spot prizes will happen at random, the actual search for the girl who join me & Garnier for the pamper day will take place from now until 31 January 2014. 

What do you have to do to join me for the pamper day?

Well, I am targeting girls with oily/combination skin (not sure if that's you - read below). All you have have to do is submit a motivation (tell me a bit about your skin issues; why you should be chosen; where you're from etc) & a picture to blog@brettrobson.com 

**Please note, you do not have to reside in Jhb to enter. We will take care of logistics :)

How to identify if you have Oily/Combination Skin?

If a person has oily skin, the skin is usually oily over the whole face. If only their T-panel is oily, i.e. the forehead, down the nose and chin, then they have combination to oily skin. Oily skin needs to be hydrated, by drinking water. Oily skin naturally produces too much oil, so a light & watery moisturizer is recommended.

Follow Garnier SA on Twitter (here) & Facebook (here) to stay in the loop of what's happening :)

LBD in Dubai {OOTD}

Dress (Forever21) / Heels (River Island) / Flower crown (H&M)

Flashback vibes with today's OOTD! This is from Dubai back in September!! Can you say delayed lol. I duno. I needed to shoot daily pictures for a 30 Day campaign you will find about about in the new year, & so I shot these, but wasn't sure if they would make it to the blog. Well, hotel-hallway-aside, they did in fact make it :)

Oh & in case you didn't know - Eminem (aka The Greatest) is touring South Africa next year. Sigh! Unfortunately at this point its looking bleak for me as I am traveling around that time for work so I probably won't be in SA! Very sad!

**It is really weird but some of the photos turned Sepia when they uploaded! So mad!

Oh & something exciting from Garnier coming tomorrow!!!
