The Accessories Rule That Can Change Your Whole Outfit Have you ever put on an outfit and thought it was just missing something? Before you head out to buy something new, take another look at what you already have. Accessories can completely change the way an outfit looks and feels, and you don't need to follow a whole lot of rules to make them work. In this episode, I'm chatting about how to use...

With Black Friday and the sales season coming up, I want to talk about something that might feel a little controversial: shopping the sales rack. This isn't about saying you should never buy anything on sale, and it certainly isn't about judging anyone's budget. There's a difference between buying something you already want when it goes on sale and heading straight to the sales rack to see what ba...

Jeans are in every woman’s wardrobe, but there are so many cuts out there that it can get really overwhelming. In this episode I simplify it so you can go shopping knowing exactly what to try on. I cover the one thing that affects how jeans fit more than the cut itself, four cuts that work in your 40s, and the washes and fit tips to look for before you buy. Want to see what I’m describing? I’ve pu...

This week I'm walking you through the colours that are about to land in stores for spring and summer here in the Southern Hemisphere: straight from the Pantone London Fashion Week Trend Palette and the Pantone New York report. I go colour by colour and tell you which colour season each one belongs to, which sister palettes can borrow it, and how to actually wear it because seeing a swatch on a scr...

This week's episode is inspired by something doing the rounds on Instagram, the "worth the money" trend, but from my perspective as a personal colour stylist. I'm not talking about must-have basics or trend pieces. I'm talking about the five things I genuinely think are worth investing in if you want your wardrobe to actually work for you, not against you. In this episode I cover: Why a properly f...

Your season never changes. But how you feel about wearing certain colours within it? That can shift completely and it doesn't mean something's gone wrong. This week I chat about why a client might suddenly love a colour she used to avoid, or why you might open your wardrobe and just not want to reach for something you know suits you. It's not your colours. It's your relationship with them. In this...

After 18 years as a platinum blonde, I finally made the call to go brunette. In this episode I'm talking through the why behind it, the how of actually doing it, and what it's been like navigating my own colour journey through the exact same lens I use with clients every day. I get into what actually prompted the change, why I'm taking the slow road toward a cool, ashy dimensional blonde rather th...

There's a theme that keeps coming up with my Style Reset clients lately: the belief that you're not "stylish enough" to dress well. I hear it all the time, and I totally get it — but it's so far from the truth. In this episode I'm dispelling that myth for good. We talk about the real difference between being stylish and just feeling good in what you wear, why outfit formulas are simpler than you'd...

What does it actually look like to step away from a business you've built — intentionally, bravely, and at 52 — and call it the best decision you've ever made? That's exactly what Kirsten Smith of Bettyquette did, and honestly this conversation stopped me in my tracks. Kirsten is someone I've spoken to before on the podcast, and when I heard what she'd done in the time since, I knew we had to sit...

Here are the top 5: 1️⃣ You can’t see a difference between warm and cool… and you feel like you should. 2️⃣ You test colours that are all from the same palette, no wonder it all looks the same. 3️⃣ You’re scared you’ll...

After a little break from the microphone, I am back — and I thought the best way to ease back in was with an honest life update episode. This one is a little different from my usual episodes. There's no masterclass, no style formula — just me, catching you up on where I've been, what life has looked like lately and some of the shifts that have been happening behind the scenes.

Not everything you buy ends up being a good purchase, which makes the ones you actually use and reach for worth talking about. This episode is a relaxed chat about the things I’ve genuinely loved buying for 2025 so far — not trends for the sake of it, and definitely not impulse buys that end up forgotten, but pieces and finds that feel practical, considered, and worth the investment. I share what...

Christmas colours aren’t just red and green — and they definitely don’t look the same on everyone.

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 reconne...

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.

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.

It’s the halfway point of the year—can you believe it?
