Hello Friday – and what a weekend we’re about to step into. Mother’s Day is looming, St Patrick’s Day is practically knocking, and those lighter evenings are finally making a comeback. If that’s not an excuse to treat yourself to something from this week’s Trend Trove, I don’t know what is.

After a little hiatus, I’m back and ready to share the high street gems you’re going to want in your basket immediately.

As usual, I’ve spent far too many hours scrolling, swatching and generally convincing myself that ‘research’ counts as a hobby – all to bring you the very best in beauty, fashion and those homeware touches that make a room feel instantly fresher.

From H&M to Boden, Zara to Uniqlo, Space NK to Kurt Geiger, consider this your curated edit of things you’ll be eagerly waiting by the door for.

So, what’s caught my eye this week? Well, if you’re as in love with Love Story and Carolyn Bessette as I am, prepare yourself – I’ve found the perfect 90s sunglasses at Uniqlo, and yes, she would absolutely approve.

Hosting season also calls for elevated tableware, and this H&M serving bowl is far too chic to hide in a cupboard. And don’t get me started on George at Asda’s home range – it’s giving high-end without the high-end prices.

Beauty-wise, Aussie brand Rationale has launched its new Beautiful Collection, and it delivers that lit‑from‑within glow we all pretend is ‘just genetics’. Luxurious? Definitely. Worth it? Absolutely.

And with spring trying its best to get going, I’m itching to wear the coat of the moment – Marks & Spencer’s ‘The Trench’. At £95, it’s the forever classic your wardrobe will thank you for: shower‑resistant cotton twill, an archive‑inspired lining, chic details and the kind of polish that makes you feel instantly put together.

Right – cards at the ready. Time to shop.
