Anna Paquin's Hair Color

I am still on the fence about going blond.  My initial thought was to start lightening my hair to an ice blond shade, a la Pam from True Blood.  I am now beginning to wonder if that look is much to dramatic and will require more upkeep than I have time for.  And how much it will wreck my hair at the same time.

I am now looking more at the shade of Anna Paquin's hair, still blonde but a few hues darker and more highlighted.  I still don't know that I could get all the way to this blonde shade but I am thinking that highlights could begin to get me to this shade instead of the full bleaching that the ash blonde would require.

Looking for some feedback...
