Bad!
Bleaching the whole lot one flat colour will be harsh! Especially with your skin tone (also when your roots grow through it will look awful!) What you should do is go to a good hairdresser and have a consultation first to discuss colours etc they will be happy to do this - you will have to have piece of your hair tested aswell.
you dont want your eyebrows to stand out against the white blonde hair - also bleached hair can go straw-like in texture if you keep doing it!
look in a hairstyle magazine for ideas on the colours you like best, there are so many variations of blonde
Thinking about it i have 2 friends with dark/olive skin tone and both of them have become quite blonde! they did it gradually with streaks/highlights and it does suit them because they still have some brown in their hair colour but have worked shades of blonde in, it doesn't look stripey or shocking - it works well - they both have good hairdressers.

Bad idea. Don't you think with olive skin that white blond will look a bit odd? You'd need a very strong product over dark brown hair which won't do it any favours either.

before completely bleaching all your hair try putting in a few thick highlights to get the effect, I think your skin tone might be a bit dark for white blonde but a golden blonde would look nice. Get it done professionally!!

ooooh! This is a bad idea! First of all, once you dye your hair you will be a slave to coloring it. Dark roots against white/blond shows up immediately. Also, you'll have to dye your eyebrows to match.
The color of your hair, eyes and skin do not lend themselves to a bleached blond color.
I bet you look beautiful the way you are. My advice to you is to try on a wig in the color you're thinking of. That way you'll see what you look like and will save yourself a lot of time and money.

NO... NO DONT DO THAT!.....!
Okay I could give you a million reasons not to do that..!
you have dark brown hair, if your wanting to go lighter dye it a lighter shade and work your way up.. NEVER go from dark to blonde in a day..
Im sure you have dark eyebrows too.... well have you ever seen a blonde hair chick with dark brown eyebrows.??.. it doesnt like real at all...
So if i was you think about this.. cause its a huge change of your appearance.!

...you are likely not to like it if you make such a big change all at once...i'd recommend coloring it an allover color which is lighter than your natural color (maybe 3 shades lighter) and then adding some highlights...eventually you can add more and more highlights til you achieve the desired shade...and you'll probably like it better cuz it won't be such a shock (and you may find that you don't want it any lighter anyways)
also if you are going from a dark brown to a white/blonde all in a day your hair is likely to
1. not get to the lightness you desire
2. if it DOES get as light as you want, you'll hate it anyway cuz it'll be sooooo damaged
....good luck and have fun!

Bleaching usually looks horrible with people with gold or olive skin, so be sure it's the color you want. You may want to look for a cheap platinum wig in the color you want, so you can wear it and see if you like the color against your skin.
Otherwise, as for bleaching itself, you should go to a stylist for it. My friend does hers at home because her hair is very strong and short, but if I did mine I'd probably fry it. Getting it professionally done will help avoid all your hair breaking off.

who do you know that has your same skin tone and would have that hair?
See if you can find some pics online.
Cut and paste pics to a pic of yours
See what it looks like before you do it.
Get it done right, bleach can ruin your hair and you would have to cut it very short if not done correctly.
Plus your hair is dark, you may have to use something else instead of bleach and add stuff to make it healthy. Get a pro.
I personally think it might look cool. Maybe not so white - maybe more dark blonde

I wouldn't if I were you, not only is it not likely to suit you but it will ruin the condition to try getting it white blonde (trust me i've been there). And the roots you'll get!! Try some hi-lites in a honey/caramel blonde, not only will it complement your natural colouring better, you won't get a harsh re-growth like you will with an all over bleach.

Really, don't do it. Bleach is an extremely tricky thing to work with, and it can leave you with results that you're not pleased with. My friend has medium shade brown hair and she bleached her hair, and it ended up turning some weird shade of orange. After that she went to a salon to get it proffessionally dyed back, and the color turned a disgusting shade of blonde. Take my advice: DO NOT RISK IT.
