My Colour and Style

Gorgeous on the rack is not a reason to buy. My three checks before anything comes home: is it my colour, does it have structure, does it suit my shape? This yellow knit ticked all three. Save this for your next shopping trip.

Prints are where most of my clients get stuck when shopping. A solid colour is easy to check, but a print has so much going on.

So here's what I do: fan your swatch out and hold it right up against the fabric. If your colours melt into the print, that's a winner. If one jumps out and looks like it doesn't belong, that print isn't working for you.

Do you find prints easy to shop for, or do you always end up back at plain colours?

Most people shop for the piece. I shop for the lines.

Walking through Zara, I kept noticing how much a stripe changes where the eye goes.

Horizontal stripes? Check the gap. Close together, the eye moves straight across. Wide apart, it stops and settles, sometimes right where you'd rather it didn't.

Diagonal lines are my favourite. They draw the eye up and across instead of straight down, which is so much kinder to the body. And if you want a little shape through the hips, a peplum does that beautifully.

For my Cool & Brights, that crisp cool yellow is yours. Try it with grey, white or navy for a clean contrast.

And that white jacket with the gold detail? Very tempted. 🤍 If white is in your palette, it's the kind of piece that earns its place all season.

Stripes, diagonals or peplum: which would you try first?

Every group chat has this conversation. 😅

This spring, make the answer a Colour Party. You bring the girls and the bubbles, I bring the drapes, and everyone goes home with their own personalised colour swatch wallet.

Groups of 4–8 from $270pp, and I come to you.

Exotic is warm, deep, and toasted — grounded, a little unexpected.

You can hold black on this one, but it’s not where the magic happens — toasted-deep warmth actually looks richer in chocolate or camel. Save black for accents, not the main event.

Your best colours were never about restriction. They’re just the ones that bring the attention back to your face, instead of anywhere else.

Save this if warm + deep + toasted is your colouring 🍂

Comment EXOTIC if this sounds like you, or DM me PALETTE and let’s confirm it.
