18: From Lost Style to Loving Colour: My Story

from Life in Colour · host Ashley Longstaff

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 the tough decision I made to close that chapter — the tears, the lessons, and the surprising clarity that followed — and how it all led to the creation of Loving Colour. This is a story about passion, resilience, and finding your way back to what lights you up. Want to learn more about seasonal colour analysis? Get my free Find My Colours Guide.
