Coveted style - Rachel Bilson

Ever since her days on The OC I've been a big Rachel Bilson fan, and am ever flattered when I'm occasonally told I look like her!

Every time she's snapped  out and about she's impeccably stylish, even if she's just popping to the supermarket. J'adore!

the bold and the beautiful

Bright and beautiful are synonymous in my world, so you can imagine how happy I am that bold, bright colours are a huge trend for spring 2011. This isn't just something for the wardrobe either - bright and bold make-up looks have been all over the runways. There's something for everyone with this trend as you can either tone it down or go all out with colour. Check out some of my fave images for inspiration -

Bright colours can pick you up when you're having a bad day and help you feel energized - another great reason to try this trend. I know I'm going to!

Yellow Brick Road

Modelled by my gorgeous friend Jahnea Garden, these pieces are new in at Yellow Brick Road, a super cute boutique in Parnell, Auckland.

Yellow Brick Road stocks some of the most beautiful apparel, accessories and nick nacks I've seen. J'adore!

I think some people have the most beautiful tattoos.

I can't wait to get mine someday when I work up the nerve.
