Life in Colour

When was the last time you wandered into Sussan, Suzanne Grae, Sportsgirl or Blue Illusion? 👀 In this episode, I’m talking about the stores you might have stopped shopping at — but shouldn’t have.

We chat about:
🛍 Why these stores deserve a second look
👗 What they’re getting right with colour, fit and fabrics

In this episode, I share the results of a recent Instagram poll where 42% of women said they don’t feel happy, confident, or comfortable in their clothes. I dive into why this happens — from losing touch with who we are, to dressing out of habit, to feeling unsure about what actually suits us anymore. We’ll talk about how to begin shifting that — starting with awareness, small changes, and reconnecting with your style in a way that feels like you.

And if you’ve been feeling ready for a change but unsure where to begin, I also share deta...

In this deeply personal episode, I take you behind the scenes of how Loving Colour came to life — a journey that began when I lost my sense of style as a new stay-at-home mum. I share the moment I realised I wanted to do something for myself again, fuelled by a lifelong love of fashion. From starting with a humble blog and Instagram page, to launching my online clothing store I Choose Me, and eventually designing my own slow fashion label, I open up about the excitement, the trials, and the heartbreak that came with it all. You’ll hear...

In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve been seeing in stores this season — the colours, styles, and trends that are popping up everywhere. From all the different shades of burgundy to the rise of knit pants, there’s a lot to take in right now. Some pieces feel exciting, others a little puzzling — and I’m breaking it down to help you figure out what might work for you.

I’m also chatting about why stores are already rolling out sales before winter’s even properly started — and what that means if you’re still building your cold-w...

In this episode, I’m spilling all the details on my current skincare and haircare routine—the things I love, the products I use, and how I got here. But it hasn’t been a smooth ride. I’ve had to navigate some pretty frustrating allergies along the way, so finding what works and keeps my skin and scalp happy has been a bit of a journey. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the options out there or struggled with sensitivities yourself, this one’s for you. Think of it as a peek inside my bathroom cabinet—with a few all...

It’s the halfway point of the year—can you believe it? If you started 2025 saying, “This is the year I’ll finally sort my style out” or “I’m going to find my colours and feel confident in what I wear,” now is the perfect time to pause and reflect.

In this episode, I guide you through a gentle but honest mid-year check-in. It’s not about guilt or should-haves—it’s about tuning into how you're really feeling about your style, your wardrobe, and your confidence.

You’ll hear reflective questions like:

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on colour analysis — what it is, how it actually works, and why it’s so much more than just holding up a few colour swatches.

I’ll walk you through the full process I use with my clients, from the first impressions to the technical details I’m looking for when I figure out someone’s season. We’ll get into things like undertones, depth, clarity, temperature — all the nerdy (but fascinating!) parts of how colours interact with our natural features.

I’m also sharing some of the common mist...

We talk about what it means to age with grace and grit, the surprising upsides of midlife, and why a good serum and a splash of champagne can g...

There’s a lot hitting the shelves right now—rich autumn colours, layered textures, and accessories that look great… but don’t always feel great when you try them on. In this episode, I’m talking through what you’ll actually see in stores this season and how to make it work for you—without the overwhelm.

I’ll walk you through these colours, cuts, and must-have pieces, and more importantly, how to figure out which versions of those colours will suit your season. Because olive, rust, burgundy—they’re not one-size-fits-all. And the right shade makes all the difference.<...
