    32: Why Your Colours Don't Change (But Your Relationship With Them Does)

    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 episode: The emotional baggage we attach to colours — school uniforms, hard seasons, and why "I could never wear that" is rarely actually about the colour My own story of retreating into "safe" colours (blush pink, navy, white, grey, denim) during years of serious health struggles, and what that taught me about clothing as control The real difference between colour fatigue and styling fatigue and why it's almost always the second one Why having your colours analysed doesn't shrink your options, it expands them (I wears more shades now than she ever did before her own analysis) Permission to evolve: your colours stay the same, but you're allowed to take a break from one, come back to another, and keep discovering new favourites within your palette Mentioned in this episode: Last week's episode: Breaking Up With Platinum Blonde [link to episode] The Colour Collective — Ashley's monthly membership for women who want ongoing colour and styling support [link] Virtual Colour Analysis — if you're ready to find your own palette [link] Ashley 💕

    31: Breaking Up with Platinum Blonde

    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 than rushing it, and how understanding my own colours has shaped every decision along the way. It's been a strange thing, letting go of a look that's been "me" for almost two decades — even when I know it's the right call. If you've ever felt torn about changing something that's been part of your identity for a long time, I think you'll relate to this one.I'd love to know if this one resonates with you — send me a DM or email ashley@lovingcolour.au, and if you're ready to go deeper, let's chat about a Virtual Colour Analysis, The Colour Collective, or The Style Reset.www.lovingcolour.au

    30: You Don't Have to Be "Stylish" to Dress Well

    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 think, and why dressing well is a skill set, not something you're born with. I also share the three things to do if you're ready to move out of this mindset: stop comparing, get curious about your style personality, and understand your colours. If "stylish" has ever made you feel like you don't belong in the conversation about clothes, I hope this helps you let that go. In this episode: Why "I'm not stylish enough" is a myth I want to bust Stylish vs. just feeling good in your clothes How outfit formulas actually work Why dressing well is a skill set, not something innate Taking inspiration without falling into comparison Finding your own style personality Why colour is foundational to loving what you wear I'd love to know if this one resonates with you — send me a DM or email ashley@lovingcolour.au, and if you're ready to go deeper, let's chat about a Virtual Colour Analysis, The Colour Collective, or The Style Reset.www.lovingcolour.au Ashley 💕

    29: Closing the Business, Taking the Gap Year, and Dressing the Life You Actually Have — with Kirsten Smith of Bettyquette

    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 back down together. She closed her business, gave herself a gap year, and came out the other side with a clarity about herself — and her wardrobe — that I think so many of us are quietly searching for. We talk about what led her to that decision, what the gap year actually looked like (it's not what you might expect), and what she noticed about herself when she stripped away the busyness and the identity that comes with running a business. And of course, because it's us, we talk clothes. We talk about dressing for a season of life that doesn't quite have a name yet — that in-between space where you're not who you were, and you're not yet sure who you're becoming. Kirsten has such a beautiful way of thinking about this, and I think you're going to feel very seen. This one is warm, honest, and a little bit life-affirming. I hope you love it as much as I did. Ashley 💕 About Kirsten: Kirsten Smith is the founder of Bettyquette, a natural skincare brand, and someone who has spent years thinking deeply about how we care for ourselves — inside and out.

    26: Style Goal Setting For 2026: The First Step to Loving Your Wardrobe Again

    Today’s episode is all about style goal setting and why being intentional with your wardrobe can completely change how you feel when you get dressed. This is a special sneak peek into one of the masterclasses I ran inside The Colour Collective, and it’s designed to help you get really clear on what you want from your wardrobe in 2026 — not just what you want it to look like, but how you want it to feel. Because style goals are just like any other goals… if you don’t know where you’re heading, you’ll keep buying random pieces and still feel like you have nothing to wear. In this episode, I’ll walk you through practical questions and steps to help you define your personal style direction, understand what’s working (and what isn’t), and create a wardrobe that supports your lifestyle and your confidence. In This Episode, I Cover: Why style goals matter just as much as health or career goals How to figure out what you actually want your wardrobe to do for you The difference between shopping for clothes and building a wardrobe How to identify what’s currently working in your outfits The key questions to ask yourself before buying anything new How to choose a “style direction” for the year ahead How to make your wardrobe feel more intentional (without spending a fortune) Questions Mentioned in the Episode: Here are a few of the questions I share to help you set your style goals: How do I want to feel in my clothes this year? What do I want to be known for style-wise? What outfits do I feel my best in — and why? What am I constantly reaching for? What do I avoid wearing, even though I own it? What’s missing from my wardrobe that would make getting dressed easier? Mentioned / Resources: ✨ This episode is inspired by a masterclass inside The Colour Collective — my membership where I help women learn how to actually wear their colour palette and build wardrobes that feel effortless.

    25: My Favourite Purchases for 2025 (The Ones I Actually Use)

    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 I’ve been reaching for on repeat, why these purchases made sense for my lifestyle, and what made them good additions rather than just “another thing”. If you enjoy honest reflections on what’s actually useful (and what holds up over time), you’ll enjoy this one. It’s a real, easy conversation — the kind you’d have with a friend when you’re talking about what you’re glad you bought and what you’d happily buy again.   Want to go deeper with colour? If you’re just starting out, I have a free “Find Your Colours” guide that will help you begin understanding what colours work best for you and why. It’s a great place to start if you’ve ever felt unsure about choosing colours when shopping or getting dressed.👉 You’ll find the link to download it here. If you’d like personalised support, you can also book a Virtual Colour Analysis with me. We’ll work out your seasonal palette and I’ll show you how to use it in real life — from clothes to accessories and beyond.👉 All the details and booking links are linked here or www.lovingcolour.au/colouranalysis 🎧 Listen now on Life in Colour — available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
