If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more And just like that, it’s Friday again, which can only mean one thing: a fresh edition of Trend Trove has landed in your inbox. Have you had a good week? Of course you have. The Great British Bake Off is back on our screens, the supermarkets are fully embracing pumpkin-spiced everything, and despite the balmy temperatures, there’s a distinct whiff of autumn in the air (or perhaps that’s just my latest autumnal candle obsession). This week, I’m serving up the best new finds worth adding to your basket, from cosy homeware and beauty heroes to fashion buys you’ll wear on repeat. Expect gems from M&S, Primark and Boots, cult K-Beauty favourites from Biodance, Beats by Dre’s latest headphones, delightfully tangy treats from Mrs Elswood, and plenty more besides. But before we get to the shopping good stuff, shall we indulge in a little high street gossip, weekend inspiration and general chinwagging? Pull up a chair. You know the drill. They’ve really increased their options for the designated driver – or those of us wanting to cut back. (Picture: Metro/M&S) I’m kicking things off with some *festive* news (well, there are only 91 days until Christmas after all… M&S is pulling out all the stops for Christmas drinks this year, launching more than 100 new bottles, cocktails and alcohol-free alternatives, including what it’s calling the high street’s first Decaf Espresso Martini. The biggest trend? ‘Zebra striping’ is on the rise, with more shoppers alternating between alcoholic and alcohol-free drinks, so M&S has doubled its No & Low range with festive favourites from mulled wine to Bucks Fizz. I’m also eyeing up the first-to-market Clemencello liqueur and the expanded English wine selection because if there’s ever a time to elevate your drinks trolley, it’s December. We’re taking this time to add our faves into our basket. (Picture: Metro/UKLASH) If your lashes, brows and hair are due a little post-summer TLC, UKLASH’s latest sale is worth a look. The beauty brand is offering up to 35% off its cult-favourite growth serums and bundles, with standout savings on the bestselling Lash Growth Serum and Lash + Brow Growth Serum Set. Ask Metro Use AI to go deeper into the stories you care about – powered by Metro and trusted publications. I’d also throw the Tubing Mascara into your basket while you’re there, it’s smudge-proof, flake-free and one of those hardworking beauty buys that makes getting ready infinitely easier. Huawei have done it again with this smart watch. (Picture: Metro/Huawei) If, like me, you’re trying to be a little more on top of your health without turning it into a full-time job, Huawei’s new WATCH D3 is an intriguing launch. The sleek smartwatch doesn’t just track your steps and sleep, it offers medical-grade blood pressure monitoring throughout the day and night, plus a handy 60-second health snapshot covering everything from heart rate to blood oxygen levels. Better still, it looks more like a stylish everyday watch than a piece of medical kit, proving that wellness tech no longer has to be bulky or boring. This PJ set from River Island x Karen Mabon is too good to wear inside the house. (Picture: Metro/River Island) River Island has joined forces with cult British illustrator Karen Mabon, and the result is every bit as joyful and dopamine-dressing-worthy as you’d expect. Packed with whimsical prints, vibrant colours and statement-making separates, it’s the kind of collection that will have strangers asking, ‘Where’s that from?’ Whether you’re looking to brighten up your autumn wardrobe or simply inject a little fun into your everyday outfits, this is one collaboration fashion fans won’t want to miss. The collab we never saw coming, but needed. (Picture: Metro/Royal Ballet) If you grew up watching Barbie in The Nutcracker, prepare for a hefty dose of nostalgia. To celebrate the film’s 25th anniversary, Barbie has partnered with The Royal Ballet on a dreamy collaboration that includes a limited-edition collection, an immersive pop-up at the Royal Opera House, and a brand-new Barbie in The Nutcracker special landing on Netflix this November. Royal Ballet principal Fumi Kaneko, who will also dance the Sugar Plum Fairy this festive season, stars in exclusive content bringing the worlds of ballet and Barbie together. Honestly, between the balletcore fashion, collectible keepsakes and Christmas magic, this might just be the most enchanting collaboration of the season. Not all sex toys are scary you know. (Picture: Metro/Smile Makers) And finally? Menopause is finally getting the wellness attention it deserves, and Smile Makers Collection is helping lead the charge with a new Gen M-certified edit designed to support everything from pelvic health and vaginal dryness to intimacy and confidence. The thoughtfully curated range includes lubricants, pelvic floor training tools, body oils and the brand’s bestselling vibrator, all aimed at making conversations around menopause feel a little less taboo. I love that it approaches pleasure and intimate wellbeing as part of overall self-care, because getting older shouldn’t mean settling for less when it comes to feeling good in your own skin.
