Finding what to put in this week’s Trend Trove was an absolute doddle. From things I’m desperate to get my hands on to things I couldn’t help but snap up pre-payday, this is a strong selection.
An unmatched array featuring everything from fashion and accessories to makeup and skincare – not forgetting a few little home treats, this lot will have you moving your savings to your current account, and for that I can only apologise.
Before my short stint in NYC next week (yes, I’m excited), ensuring I had a cracking pair of knee high boots was at the top of my list – needless to say the Vagabond Dorah Tall Boots hit the spot and then some.
NA-KD, potentially on of my favourite affordable fashion brands at the moment, are currently treating us to 25% off sitewide, and the Leather Triangular Tote Bag, now under £70, instantly caught my eye with its sleek, quality finish.
Facetheory, another budget brand with big, impressive products, have just released a retinal cream-serum hybrid in three strengths, and they look set to give you your dream skin without a heinous price tag.
In my bid to nest wherever I lay my hat, the Elemis Afternoon Tea Candle has been giving me endless comfort at my home desk, turning my spare room into a regal office complete with a freshly delivered salver of cakes.
And if you’ve not yet got your hands on any Zelens skincare, then now is absolutely the time. Think: luxe, lush, loveliness.
Ready to explore this week’s top picks and treat yourself while you’re at it? Get stuck into the Trend Trove below.
Vagabond Dorah Tall Boots
An investment? Yes, perhaps, but certainly one you’ll wear again and again. This is what I told myself as I ummed and aahed over these stunning boots. It’s been a day and I feel like I’ve already got my money back in compliments.
Crafted from a mix of real and synthetic leather, these statement (yet oh-so wearable) boots feature a stretchy shaft, square toes and zip-side fastening, not forgetting a low, platform heel that’s set to elevate any look. These are the kind of boots that deserve to be worn.
NA-KD Leather Triangular Tote Bag
Simple meets effortless elegance in this stunning NA-KD bag, a surefire staple from autumn to spring.
Crafted from smooth touch real leather, it features a main compartment with a magnetic closure and a non adjustable handle, perfect for slinging on your wrist.
Handmade floral takeaway ceramic mug, from AlmudenaRocca via Etsy
Whether you’re gifting a loved one or treating yourself, a ceramic coffee cup is a gorgeous way to upgrade that little bit of me time in the morning – and this stunning one from Etsy is a simple yet beautiful piece you’ll treasure.
Each mug is crafted and painted individually, making every piece utterly unique, letting you enjoy the specialness of handcrafted artistry.
Zelens Emulsion D Fortifying Moisturiser 50ml
Lightweight yet rich in moisture, this Zelens Emulsion D Fortifying Moisturiser is an ultra-hydrating formula powered by skincare actives that promote the look of a balanced skin barrier.
Rich, creamy and non-greasy, applying this hydrating cream is a total act of self-care, leaving the skin glowing and utterly quenched.
Grown Alchemist Exfoliating Hand Wash (500ml)
You know you’re getting older when you’re completely enchanted by a hand wash… but I don’t care. This Exfoliating Hand Wash from Grown Alchemist is the most wonderful, multi-sensory treat for the hands and the nose, and I’m absolutely obsessed with it.
Formulated with natural pumice and eco beads as well as aloe vera in a luxurious gel base, boasting the scents of vanilla and orange peel, this gorgeous hand wash cleans away dirt and impurities to leave hands feeling cleansed and massaged. Totally luxe.
Facetheory Retinal Supreme Multi-Cream 0.05%, 50ml
Facetheory have officially launched a brand-new Retinal cream, and we just can’t wait to get our hands on it.
This affordable, vitamin A serum-and-moisturiser hybrid works to firm, brighten, clear, and plump your skin overnight – delivering complete skincare efficacy in three retinal strengths.
Too Faced Born This Way Soft Matte Foundation
Get that soft, luminous, all-over smooth look with Too Faced’s new Born This Way Soft Matte Foundation, the perfect skin-perfecting addition to your makeup routine.
Lightweight, the formula offers medium-full coverage to blur imperfections without any cakiness or heaviness. A blend of oil-absorbing ingredients such as silica, sugar kelp and ginseng leave the skin mattified, while coconut water and hyaluronic acid hydrate the skin for a plumped, radiant look.
Elemis Afternoon Tea Candle 220g
This single wick candle is the perfect burst of freshness to brighten up a room – mine is currently sitting proudly on my desk flickering away.
Steep your senses in a warming infusion of black tea, fresh raspberry leaf and herbal bergamot. A delicious hint of baked scones and clotted cream closes the comforting scent, indulging the room with a subtly sweet and familiar aroma.
Feather & Down Warming Body Scrub 200ml
While the mornings and evenings are cold, there’s nothing more warming and calming than this Feather & Down Warming Body Scrub in the shower.
Exfoliating and gently warming tired muscles, this gorgeous-smelling scrub helps to relieve tension in the body, leaving you feeling clean, relaxed and smelling fresh.
