Show Notes
Christmas colours aren’t just red and green — and they definitely don’t look the same on everyone.
In this episode of Life in Colour, I’m breaking down the different variations of Christmas colours, from reds and greens to metallics, and explaining why some versions feel festive and flattering… while others just don’t feel right at all.
We chat about:
The different types of reds (and why one person glows in crimson while another looks better in a softer or deeper shade)
How greens can swing warm, cool, light or deep — and why that matters
Why metallics aren’t one-size-fits-all (gold, silver, champagne, pewter and more)
How to choose festive colours that work with your seasonal palette, not against it
If you’ve ever put on a “Christmas outfit” and felt like something was off — even though the colour should work — this episode will help you understand why.
It’s about keeping the festive feel, without forcing colours that don’t suit you.

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.
Spring/summer is here & if you’re standing in front of your wardrobe wondering where to even start, this one’s for you. I’m sharing 9 ways to plan your spring/summer wardrobe and I promise it’s less overwhelming than it sounds.
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 screen is never quite the same as having it explained to you.
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.
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.
