As we mourn the sunshine and warmer weather leaving us in a matter of days, our shopping expert has been busy finding you the best items that will be a smile to your face.
Yes, as you can imagine, this week’s edition of Trend Trove once again contains everything you didn’t know you’d need – until now.
Take the Malin + Goetz Tomato Candle from Space NK, priced at £54. Inspired by Hudson Valley’s gardens, this hand-poured candle blends herbs and fresh tomato for a natural fragrance. Made from vegetable wax with a cotton wick, it features basil, lavender, mint, and San Marzano tomato leaf, complemented by mandarin, petitgrain, cedarwood, and green pepper. It offers a clean, slow burn for up to 60 hours, evoking a late summer garden.
Looking to save money on your bills this autumn? Well, you’ll probably want to invest in something like the Heated Airer with Wings from Dunelm. This 220-watt airer costs about 6p per hour to run and speeds up the drying process. Ideal for small spaces, it folds away neatly when not in use. It features an illuminated on/off switch, holds up to 10kg of laundry, and offers 12 metres of drying space. Fold-out wings provide extra capacity, making it an energy-efficient and practical solution for quick drying.
As the weather is predicted to rain over the next few days, you might need to buy a raincoat too… and Sarah’s picked out some real winners from Rains, Marks and Spencer, ASOS, Topshop and so many more places.
Oh and the biggest news of the week? Urban Decay’s Original Naked Palette is back – and better than ever before. The Original Naked Eyeshadow Palette, known for its sleek and alluring design, boasts 12 neutral shades that revolutionised the beauty industry.
Urban Decay’s product development team has meticulously colour-matched each eyeshadow to the original 12 shades, preserving the iconic colour story. This time, however, the formula has been updated to be vegan, easier to blend, and longer-lasting. The new creamier texture prevents creasing, fading, and fallout, making it a must-have for both longtime fans and newcomers.
These are just a few of the items that Sarah’s hand-picked for you, along with so many more that you’ll want to own.

This ultra-nourishing hand treatment leaves skin feeling powder-soft and velvety smooth. Clinically proven to boost moisturisation for 48 hours, this rich, non-greasy balm is quickly absorbed. It firms, restores, and rejuvenates with a tripeptide and protein blend, while encapsulated vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, and amino acids provide intense hydration. A brightening complex of marshmallow root, rice bran, and liquorice root evens skin tone. Infused with notes of sandalwood, chocolate, coconut, rose, and star anise, it smells as good as it feels.
Double-Breasted Cotton Trench Coat
This water-repellent garment features a durable finish that protects against light rain, effectively repelling water and raindrops. Made from a cotton-blend fabric, it boasts a long, straight design with a lapel collar. The shoulders and cuffs are adorned with loops, and the long sleeves have buttoned cuffs. It includes two side pockets and a metal hook closure at the neck. The coat fastens with double buttons and comes with a removable belt. The back-slit hem and inner lining add to its functionality and comfort.
