Can you believe it’s that time of the week, and your next edition of Trend Trove is here.

Think of it as your dose of dopamine for the day – a fun little roundup of everything our shopping expert has spotted this week and been loving/thinks you will too.

While the weather has been another mixed bag of sunshine and showers, she’s hoping this fills your day with nothing but joy.

So, what has she found this week? Well, This Morning’s Rochelle Humes has launched an incredible collection with Next – and we want it all.

There are just a few days to go until the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, but a plethora of offers are already available. Better yet? You don’t even need to be a Prime member to enjoy them!

Aldi’s XXL air fryer is in stores this weekend. Ideal for multi-tasking and catering to picky eaters, thanks to the two separate 4.1L drawers – not to mention cheaper to run than your conventional oven.

Drunk Elephant have also launched an incredible vitamin c serum that’s basically a magic potion for clearer, more luminous skin.

On your next trip to London, how do you fancy having afternoon tea, looking at the London Eye? Because now you can – and for less than you think.

As the Eye gracefully rotates, you’ll be treated to a selection of sweet and savoury delights. Think Smoked Salmon and Crème Fraiche sandwiches, miniature Victoria Sponge cakes, and freshly baked scones with jam and clotted cream.

YUM.

She’s also found some cosy pjs from Elizabeth Scarlett, tennis bracelet from Missoma that’s just gorgeous, vintage style radio from Roberts, fragrance from PHLUR that’s divine, burgundy bow bag that’s party season ready, Green Day’s coffee collab with Grind and so, so much more.

All you need to is get the kettle on, brew that tea bag and snuggle down on the sofa, whilst having a little scroll – and popping an item or two in your virtual shopping bag.
