Welcome to 2009! Whether you're back at work or still on holiday we've got loads of goodies to help keep you feeling the summer love! Click here for a taste of what we've got...
Jessica Biel has become Hollywood hot property and is fast earning her stripes in the fashion stakes.
The new star has a strong yet sexy taste when it comes to clothing and is often spotted in the very latest in trends and designers.
nzgirl shows you how to steal her look, for less!
Casual Comfort When it comes to casual, Jessica's look is still feminine and polished. She is a follower of the high waist trend and is often spotted in lust-have footwear and carrying one of those ever-present designer bags. Her style is all about comfortable yet crisp silhouettes which she achieves by using old fashioned tailoring tricks. Nipped jackets, skirts in suiting material and white shirts are often present and mixed with more toned down fabrics and shapes.

Red Carpet To be honest, Jessica's red carpet look can be a bit all over the place. Her recent pink dress with black belt at the Oscars really did her no favours and the jury is still out on her recent white dress outing (I actually quite liked it!). But when push comes to shove she is brave, willing to play with the latest trends and of course do it with sensuality and style.

Basic Beauty After evening out your skin tone with a base, define the brows, eyes and cheekbones with bronzing powder (1) to create a soft yet polished look. The apples of the cheeks can be brightened with a sweep of pink blush (2) whilst the lips should be treated to a coat of nude lipstick (3) and lashes lengthened with a swipe of mascara (4).

Sexy Hair
Jessica's hair has been everything from cropped and dark to sleek and straight, but her style at the moment can only be described as bed head. This is a sexy, fun tussled look which is easy to achieve at home. To mimic the look you can scrunch damp hair with mousse, mess up curls with styling wax, curl hair with rollers or use product like salt spray. Leave out in a wild way, or pin up for a sexy come hither up-do. Remember to set with mid-hold hair spray to give the look staying power.
