As we write this, we can hardly believe that tomorrow is SEPTEMBER. Seriously, where has the year gone?

But fear not, because our shopping expert has pulled out all the stops for your latest Trend Trove instalment, to take your mind off the year disappearing – and it’s another, absolute gem.

Even though we say that every week, and the weather is still surprisingly balmy for this time of year, Sarah is pretty excited about ‘snuggly season’.

In fact, Dunelm has just dropped a huge range of ‘Summerween’ items that she’s adding to her basket (and home) faster than you can rewatch ‘Practical Magic’.

Yes, once again, she’s scoured the internet high and low for the coolest items and chicest bits that you’ll want to own or gift to a friend or family member.

Take this pair of Nike suede low-top trainers – how chic?! We couldn’t be more in our sneaker era if we tried…

Another fabulous find is from Phlur, with their latest fragrance, Soft Spot. Get ready to immerse yourself in the unique blend of amber, sandalwood, and musk, creating an irresistible aura.

This intimate floral perfume enhances natural charm, leaving a lasting impression of warmth and allure. And if you know Sarah at all, you’ll know there’s never been a Phlur fragrance she didn’t love.

Even though the weather is still in the early 20s, we couldn’t be more ready for ‘snuggly season’ or adding layers back into our daily outfits. With grey set to be a big hue for wardrobes, Sarah’s in love with the Essential Suiting Oversized Blazer from Good American.

As for ‘it’ accessories, after a recent trip to Paris and getting lost in Galeries Lafayette, she stumbled across Balzac Paris – and the most gorgeous leopard print scarf.

As always, these are just a few items she’s desperately adding to her online basket – so take this as your sign to do the exact same.
