What I do know is that you’ve probably missed your weekly dose of Trend Trove. After all, if you’ve made it this far, I’m assuming you’re either ready for a little shopping inspiration, a bit of high street gossip, or simply some light procrastination before inevitably treating yourself (or someone you love/ like/fancy/or vaguely tolerate) to something nice. After a brief trip to Cornwall, where I consumed my body weight in pasties, fudge and seafood, I’m back at my keyboard and ready to bring you the latest buys, launches and bits you definitely didn’t know you needed until this very moment. And can we all agree that autumn has basically arrived now? With Strictly Come Dancing back on our screens, Celebrity Traitors around the corner and The Great British Bake Off returning, I’m fully embracing the cosy season. In fact, the Halloween decorations are already out in my house and I refuse to apologise for it. Pumpkin mugs, autumn candles, vaguely unnecessary seasonal cushions… they’re all making an appearance.That said, if you’re still holding onto summer with both hands until September 22, don’t worry. This week’s edit has a little bit of everything, from fashion finds and beauty launches to homeware buys that will work whether you’re dreaming of crisp autumn walks or clinging to your last Aperol Spritz of the season. Now, before we skip straight to the good stuff, there are a few exciting bits of shopping news and things happening this week that I’ve been desperate to share… So let’s get into it. If you need something to do next week, then check this out.
