STYLE STAR: OLIVIA MUNN 

It's official - my new favourite actress/style inspiration is the stunning Olivia Munn. 

I loved her performance this past season in The Newsroom as the fast-talking Sloan Sabbith and in New Girl. 

Off-screen, Munn appears to look, act and dress like a pretty normal girl. Her beauty routine is never too "done" (neutral makeup and a great short hair cut is failproof). 

She's been on my radar a bit more style-wise, and sealed the deal this past year with her perfect colour-blocking technique. She makes this look attainmable, not clown-ish. I find two bright colours paired together can borderline on looking like a highlighter, but Munn makes it look effortless. 

Here are a few of my favourite looks of hers below.

Enjoy your first weekend of 2013! After a busy week, I'm excited to take some time to relax and get some much needed rest (and catch up with some friends). 

Happy Friday and enjoy!

"If you are lucky, stop seeing the world as a series of things you do not have 
— a boyfriend, a baby, an adorable terrier – 
and you start noticing the things you do have.
A healthy bank account…No romantic ties.
Loving parents who wanted nothing but happiness for you.
Years to burn.
That kind of freedom is like a command from the universe to get off your ass and do something amazing."

— Sarah Hepola, Every Woman Should Travel Alone

Although not each of these things apply directly to me, I'm using this quote as a mantra for autumn.

Good things are a'happening.
