Pretty color.  I'm not a hairdresser so don't run out and buy new hair based on my answer, but, I would say the bottom part could look a bit like Bohyme Color 30 with a few highlights. The Bohyme Color 30 is a reddish brown. I believe they call it Light Auburn but IMO it is not as auburn as what you would picture auburn to be.
The top part of her hair looks more one color and looks more brown with less red. I don't know what that would be. Maybe a Color 4???
My color is similar to this. My Natural hair color is about a Level 4 Brown. I color it with a a Level 7G (Gold) or 7GC (GoldCopper) and I wear the Bohyme Color 30 as the extension hair, which is almost an exact match, I also add small blond highlights just around the face in my natural hair and the extension hair.
Hope that helps.
Hopefully, you'll get a few more responses that will be helpful to you.

Thanks very much Krystal - thats very helful.  I have decided that the hair colour I want is that of Gisele Bundchen - that gorgeous brown with lighter highlights... Need to try and find extension hair in that shade

Hi somer.  To me this looks like her hair has grown out highlights, that's why the ends are so much lighter than the roots. 
 
Seems the look you like, i.e. this pic and Giselle is a light brown base with lots of medium golden highlights.  Are you using fusion?  A combination of at least 2 but even better 3 colors would get you that effect quite nicely.  Play around with blends too.  A golden brown/light auburn/golden blonde mix would be pretty.  Good luck!  Don't forget to post pics.  :)  :)

I'm not sure of the type of hair you are going to wear, wefts or individuals, but I believe I saw you on a post talking about clips ins at some time. SO, maybe its wefts.

In that case, take a look at a 27/30. Its very pretty. Maybe a little warmer in tone than Giselle's hair color.
I'm sure there are other color combos out there that people know about, but, thats about the only ones I have played around with.
