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...
Charlize Theron is famous for great acting, amazing beauty and her classic style. nzgirl shows you how to steal her look from red carpet glamour, to bronzed cocktail style...
Evening Drama Proving that perfect pins don’t necessarily mean slashed lengths, Charlize shows off her legs in a floor length gown. The point of difference? A front slash which gives a glimpse of leg but also has all the lush drama of a traditional evening dress. This look is perfect not only for those blessed with Charlize-like legs, but those with a bit more curve. It allows you to show off enough skin but at the same time creating a long, lean look. If you are going down this route you need to make sure any skin showing looks perfect, so after shaving with Johnson's Shower and Shave, make sure your skin gleams golden by using Johnson's Holiday Skin. Replicate the texture and flow of the dress by choosing a simple gown and accessorising with a beautiful silk wrap - such items are true investment pieces that you will use for years, so buy as high quality as you can afford.

Cut Length Cocktail It’s an of the moment look, which is pulled off here because of the simplicity of the outfit. Although I love the clean lines and sparkle of Charlize's outfit, many of you will be looking for a slightly more toned down version of this sequin sheath. Reach for a similar style in a basic silk. For this evening look, use a monotone palette to create a sleek long look. The mini cut adds a great sense of length, which is perfected by a good dose of tan on the legs.

A Little Nautical The cute and casual button up skirt gives this look a nautical edge, and it’s this style which is popping up everywhere at the moment. Because it’s a basic silhouette and a classic cut, you will find this style will not get “saturated” like other chain store fodder may! So buy up now and wear paired back with simple, casual separates for a great on-trend look.
