Ever completely forget the things you want to buy when Black Friday is here and remember the following week when everything is full price again?
Because same. However, this week’s Trend Trove is so excellent that a lack of discounts won’t stand in my way of them.
From fashion and accessories you’ll want under the tree, to skincare and makeup you’ll want on your face – not forgetting a few little home treats, this is my curated selection of bits to inspire gifting yourself of loved ones (if they’re lucky).
In a bid to extend my coat collection to the point of excess, I simply had to get my hands on the John Lewis Scarf Coat – a Toteme-esque design with a removable scarf and the most gorgeous cropped silhouette.
I’ve also just entered my boujee hand care era, quite literally all because of the Grown Alchemist Exfoliating Hand Wash, whose gently exfoliating formula creates a bit of me-time every time you wash your hands.
For £29 it may be a small investment, but it lasts an age and feels NICE.
This week (and month for that matter) has been all about the fast for me, particularly when it comes to getting ready. As little time spent out of bed and in the cold, the better.
Helping with this has been the Essence Matte Liquid Waterproof Eyeshadow – a swipe on and blend shadow that gives a gorgeous wash of colour and dries down for all-day wear. Oh, and it’s under £3. Obsessed.
Ready to explore this week’s top picks and treat yourself while you’re at it? Get stuck into the Trend Trove below.
GANNI Blue Large Striped Canvas Tote Bag
Catch me dropping some not-so-subtle hints that I’d like this tote wrapped up nice and pretty under the tree this year…
This Blue Large Striped Canvas Tote Bag from GANNI features two handles, a striped print and an embroidered GANNI logo, boasting an oh-so roomy interior which makes it an excellent choice for everything from work days to weekends away.
John Lewis ANYDAY Crop Scarf Coat
An impulse buy that I simply cannot regret, this John Lewis coat is easily going to take me through winter, spring and beyond. And doesn’t it look a whole lot like a certain Toteme design?…
Cosy and totally chic, it features an oversized, boxy fit with a removable scarf-style collar, perfect for keeping warm and cosy.
Grown Alchemist Exfoliating Hand Wash 500ml
I’ve spoken about this hand wash before, but after completion of my last bottle I feel the need to remind the world just how wonderful it is.
This Exfoliating Hand Wash from Grown Alchemist is a multi-sensory treat for the hands and the nose. Formulated with natural pumice and eco beads as well as aloe vera in a luxurious gel base, and 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.
Tropic Skin Feast nourishing moisturiser
The cold winter weather has been playing absolute havoc with my skin, leaving it dry and pretty miserable. This Tropic moisturiser, however, has been my recent saviour.
Skin Feast has been made with vitamin C-rich Kakadu plum extract to illuminate skin, hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and berry seed oils to defend against daily stressors. Truly a feast for your face.
Night Lark Seersucker Coverless Duvet Set
There’s no logical reason behind the pure, burning rage I experience when the duvet gets all balled up inside the duvet cover, but it’s still one of the most testing things I experience as an adult. Hence why I’m sold by Night Lark and their Coverless Duvets.
This coverless duvet comes complete with a super soft in-built cover, meaning you’ll never need to wrestle with the duvet cover again. Simply pop it in the washing machine when it’s time for a refresh and pop it in the tumble dryer or on the line to dry. I won’t miss you, sheets.
Purdy & Figg | Counter Clean Mixed Starter Kit
Something you may not think you needed, the Purdy & Figg Counter Clean has truly changed my cleaning game – and I’m a complete convert. Who needs horrible, chemical-smelling cleaners nowadays?
The brand’s hero Counter Clean system is as easy as mixing a 20ml cleaning concentrate with water in the included bottle and spraying away. The 100% natural and organic ingredients are tough on dirt and grime but leave a luxe, aromatherapeutic fragrance that lingers long past cleaning.
Limpet The Picky Bits Embroidered Christmas Jumper
Limpet is a brand I’ve loved ever since stumbling across them, and their quirky and unique designs have found their way onto my clothes and phone case alike. This Picky Bits jumper is no exception, taking a firm place at the top of my Christmas list.
A celebration of everyone’s favourite part of Christmas – picky bits, this cotton blend jumper is the perfect, timeless festive piece you’ll love throwing on every year. Because yes, a slice of quiche, a cube of brie, three slices of ham, a gherkin, two stuffing balls and 17 Quality Street is an appropriate Christmas-time meal, thanks.
NIO Christmas Cocktail Gift Box
I ended up bringing a few of these little boxed cocktails away with me on holiday recently and to say they brought the vibe would be an understatement. Forget sweet, watery cocktails with no flavour – these NIO cocktails pack an almighty punch – booze and flavour-wise.
This festive mixed box features six tasty single serve cocktails: Spiced Negroni 23.1% Vol, Winter Sidecar 21.5% Vol, Christmas Margarita 22.2% Vol, Apple Rum Punch 18.3% Vol, Christmas in Manhattan 23.9% Vol and Snow Daiquiri 21.2% Vol, the perfect stocking filler for those who love their flavours strong and their alcohol content stronger.
Essence Matte Liquid Waterproof Eyeshadow
Not only has this utterly affordable Essence Liquid Eyeshadow saved me a load of money, but it’s also saved me an indescribable amount of time, too.
This stunning product applies in seconds with a gorgeous wash of colour, leaving a smooth, velvety finish that’s effortless to blend out with your finger and lasts all day without creasing. Game-changer.
NEST New York Moroccan Amber Classic Candle 230g
If you’re someone who loves burning a candle all day – whether that’s in the living room or on your desk, but need the scents to not totally overpower, then this NEST candle is for you.
Boasting a heady mix of amber, sweet patchouli and bergamot fragrance, this long-lasting and even-burning comes in a sleek glass jar and is set to create a warm, welcoming environment for everyone that crosses through your home.
Black Sheep Ale 8x500ml Bottles
Whether it’s a cold lager after work or a juicy IPA on the weekend, I’ll always choose beer when I get up to that bar – especially if they’ve got an ale on tap. This Black Sheep Ale is a particular favourite, and this eight-pack is perfect for gifting or stocking up ahead of Christmas.
With warming toffee, raisin and biscuit notes, this rich amber ale boasts the perfect bittersweet flavour and smooth, malty finish ideal for absent-minded sipping and beyond.
A true love list, we must say.
