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.

The Bags Im LOVING (right now)

The Everyday BAG

I literally do use this Blackcherry tote almost everyday. I absolutely love the size of this beauty. And yes, it does mean I get to fill it with tons of stuff - but hey - don't we all do that? You can get this bag in a few different colours via Style36 - click here.

The Clutch

I simply couldn't choose between my 2 favourite clutches. The cream is from Blackcherry (buy here), & the black studded 1 I bought when I was in Hong Kong. Which is your favourite between these 2?

My GO-TO-Gimme-Edge Bag

The reason I love this amazing spiked beauty is because it is so versatile. I know you've seen it many times before, so you must know I love it right?! What can I say? This girl loves her spikes!

The Backpack

Technically this is the same backpack - except in different colors. I love the black because I can wear it with everything. But I also love the pink one because it is so pretty darn cute. I actually took the black backpack on my last overseas trip, & it was the perfect accessory. No doubt, I will be taking it on my next trip at the end of this month - Yes it is going to be on American soil :) #happy

The Shopper

This perfect black shopper actually belongs to my mom. Yes, it's sadly not my own. Shoppers are great for everyday use. Again - that size makes it perfect for work as it fits everything from my iPad to my diary & note pads - & even my camera when I need it.

The ONE I Can't-Wait-To-Wear

This Blackcherry monochrome, quilted  tote is the perfect accessory. I am yet to use it, but I am absolutely DYING to do so! I have the Elle Magazine Editors Lunch this week with Jackie Burger so it seems the perfect opportunity to wear it. Don't you think? You can buy it from Style36 in either black/white or dark blue/white. Eek!!

Beauty Review: Stila IN THE LIGHT Palette

The Stila palettes have had everybody raving about them & had me feeling MAJOR FOMO! I started asking EVERYONE on twitter & Facebook which of the palettes they had or preferred. The most common answer was the IN THE LIGHT palette. And now that i have it, I can absolutely understand why. While the other palettes are all great with a beautiful range of colors, this is by far the most wearable & "universally friendly" palette. I can easily see women with of all skintones using the colours in this palette. It is a great mix of shimmer & matte eye shadows. And let's not forget taht it comes with a smudge stick eye liner in the shade Damsel. 10 eyeshadow colours you are sure to use is a bargain at R399 -  you can purchase it via Style36 here - where I might add you receive a FREE make-up bag & 3 Lip Glazes when you spend R450 or more.

This palette is great for when you are travelling as it has 10 shades that can create many looks. When I travel next this is sure to come with me! I will be posting a YOUTUBE video on the different looks you can create using this Stila In The Light palette. Sound good? Well be on the look for it :)

For now, if you want to see each of the beautiful colours included in this palette, be sure to click READ MORE below :)

HOT Houndstooth Dress

Dress c/o (HOT !gloo via Sassychic) | Heels (Woolworths) | Bag (Mr Price)

How HOT is this dress!!! Oh my word guys, this dress makes me feel so damn sexy I kid you not.  It's not that obvious sexy, but rather that grown up sexy feeling you know. Hot !gloo has some other pretty cool pieces that you can check out here.

Today is just a beautiful day in Durban as well, so perhaps that is helping my mood along. There was a slight drizzle as I got in the car & headed to work after shooting these, but still the sun was shining. I hope you all are having an amazing day just like me!

The SASSYCHIC Shopping Experience

Recently I got the opportunity to shop a local online shop - SassyChic! Now those who follow me on social media know that I am a total online shopping addict! Now, while I love Boohoo, eBay & Asos - I am always eager to discover more local online shops. It is easier to shop locally, & there's no customs so that's always great!

So, let me get into my experience shopping with SassyChic... For me, the most important thing with any website/online shop is how easy it is to navigate the site. Sassychic is great like that, you can clearly see the different categories/designers/new stock you can shop. Another thing I think is great is the "How To Shop" page on the site. Not everyone is an online shopping pro like myself, so it's good to have a clearly marked area where a new customer can understand exactly how shopping on your site will work. 

Sassychic has almost 30 brands available on the site. These brands range from fashion, accessories, bags, & lingerie - and include Mishah Designs, Blackcherry Handbags, Wonderbra, Triumph, Blacklisted, & Spilt Milk. If you want to support our local brands, this is a great place to find a few. The only thing I feel SassyChic is missing, is a bigger variety of shoe brands - you know I love my shoes!

And what did I buy? Well, I happened to be spending an evening chatting to my sister while I shopped SassyChic - & being the awesome big sister I am, I got her to choose some stuff as well. We are absolute polar opposites in terms of our style, & everything in general really. This is a mix of some of what we chose.

Dear Heart Stripe Tee - buy here.

Blackcherry Handbags quilted, chain strap bag - buy here.

 RUBY soft cup lace bra - buy here. (I LOVE RUBY!!!)

Wonderbra NVPL thong - buy here. 

Delivery is free to all Post Offices' nationally, no matter the size of your order. And courier delivery is free on all orders over R275. My order was just under R800, so I had the courier option. My goodies arrived within 4 days of placing order. That's pretty good. 

Have a look at the SassyChic online shop here.

Happy Shopping loves!

The PERFECT Date-Night Dress

Dress (Zipcode) | Shoes (Aldo) | Bag (Mr Price)

ZIPCODE sent me this lovely dress, & from the moment I saw it all I could think about was going on a romantic date night with a special someone ;) wearing this dress. I love that it is sexy, but feminine & classy. It's flirty & young, & I just love it! And now I know you are totally intrigued about my date night...well I'm not telling ;) lol

I'm leaving for China next week & there is so much to do before then. I keep thinking what I am going to pack, & although I will be working really hard the entire time I am there, I am so taking this dress with me. Hopefully I will get to wear it again to a dinner or something. Hey! I can totally just prance around the hotel room in it :) It makes me feel good. I like it when an item of clothing does that for me. Like when you're having a bad day & you put your favorite shoes on. That feeling. I like it!

You can get this dress & many other styles from the Zipcode online store here.

Or you can visit one of their stores in Gateway, La Lucia Mall, or Bedford Centre.

Window Shopping with All4Women

When I was first alerted to this Window Shopper feature on the All4Women website - I was absolutely excited. My life really seems to be getting busier as the days go by, & not that I am complaining, but I really get frustrated when I go out with the intention of buying something in particular & cannot find it in a reasonable time. Spending 3 hours of endless walking & coffee breaks until i find what I am looking for is not my idea of time well spent.

The WindowShopper feature gives you access to merchandise (including pricing) from:

•  Mr Price
• Woolworths
• Foschini
• Fashion Express
• Chic Shapewear
• Edgars
• Ackermans
• Luella
• Donna Claire

And the list goes on. You can literally "window shop" everything from the comfort of your computer screen: Handbags, dresses, shoes, accessories, jackets, even lingerie. And it is updated daily. But what I love most about this is that by simply searching "shoes" & not restricting the retailers to search within, I am exposed to stores I would normally not go into when in the mall.

For example, I almost never go into Fashion Express, but by using WindowShopper I have found shoes that I would absolutely go out & buy tomorrow. Like these fab wedges! Only R200 :) Or the skull embellished loafers below!

To have a look at this modern feature designed to make our lives easier, go here.
