My opinion of Mischa Barton is rather ambiguous. Of course we all loved her back in the fond days when The O.C. was all anyone could talk about, and everybody coveted her sun-kissed skin and voluminous golden locks. Alas, with the more recent horror stories of serious drug use and binge drinking, pictures of her extremely unhealthy fluctuating weight patterns and rumours of suicidal behaviour, Mischa plummeted into the bad books of many of her previous "fans".
Despite all this bad-girl behaviour, Mischa, 24, seems to finally be getting her life back on track, and she appeared on the cover of Tatler in January of this year looking absolutely fantastic.
Recently, I've seen a couple of pictures of the actress looking really well, and wearing some lovely pieces. It's interesting to see Mischa re-wearing her favourites, pairing them with assorted pieces to achieve different looks.
Rather similar to one I purchased about two months ago in Topshop, Mischa's oversized houndstooth blazer has clearly become an instant favourite.
I absolutely love this look. The burnt caramel and camel shades couldn't be more on trend, and I adore her sandal style flats (I've found similar pairs in Urban Outfitters and Office recently- I know what I'll be buying for summer..)
Again in this shot is Mischa pictured in the checked blazer, here combining it with chocolate brown shorts, a t-shirt and a pair of loafers for a comfortable, vintage feel.
Here we see the star donning the same brown shorts as the previous picture. She has paired it with a pretty, cream blouse and a gorgeous pair of lace up wedges for her meeting with Fearne Cotton. Perhaps we've got the old Mischa back.
