Is it just me, or has this week absolutely flown by? One minute it was Monday, the next we were settling in for the start of Celebrity Traitors and wondering how it’s already October. But enough about that. The real event of the week is, of course, the latest edition of Trend Trove.
As always, I’ve spent an arguably unhealthy amount of time scrolling TikTok, browsing Instagram, stalking my favourite newsletters and keeping tabs on what’s new on the high street, all in the name of research, naturally. The result? A carefully curated edit of the launches, buys and hidden gems that genuinely caught my attention this week.
From a nostalgic new fragrance from Laura Ashley and a game-changing pan from Our Place that’ll make you want to cook something other than pasta, to hotel-worthy bedding from Next, colourful ALOHAS shoes and a surprisingly chic fashion find from F&F at Tesco, there’s plenty to tempt you into spending a little cash.
But first, who’s in the mood for a little high street news? Because boy oh boy have we got a lot to talk about. Starting with not one, not two, but three incredible fashion collabs with our favourite celebs. Yes Tasha Ghouri, Michelle Keegan and golden girl Olivia Attwood have all brought us some AW inspo.
Next has tapped model, dancer and TV star Tasha Ghouri for a collection that feels tailor-made for autumn dressing.
Expect buttery suede, easy denim, bold checks and timeless stripes, all punctuated with pops of red for a wardrobe that looks effortlessly put together, even on those mornings when you’ve hit snooze one too many times.
Michelle Keegan’s latest Very collection has landed, bringing a fresh selection of autumn-ready staples inspired by life in Manchester.
Featuring everything from knitted co-ords and crisp shirts to longline coats and a standout suede jacket, the range focuses on versatile, easy-to-layer pieces designed to work hard in your wardrobe throughout the season.
Prices start from £25 and reflect Michelle’s signature blend of effortless style and everyday wearability.
Olivia Attwood’s latest collection with River Island has officially landed, and it’s all about taking the stress out of occasion dressing.
Think flattering silhouettes, standout details and versatile pieces that work just as well with heels and a clutch as they do with your favourite jeans, ready for everything from after-work drinks to festive celebrations.
Talking of celebs, as someone who still knows every word to Lady Marmalade, Charlotte Tilbury’s latest campaign feels like a particularly nostalgic treat.
To mark 25 years since the song’s release, the beauty brand has recruited Christina Aguilera to lead its 2026 holiday campaign, serving up a glamorous blend of Old Hollywood-inspired beauty, showgirl energy and plenty of festive magic along the way.
If you’re in London this weekend, Kiehl’s has opened a new flagship store on Carnaby Street, marking a major expansion for the skincare brand in London.
Located in the heart of one of London’s busiest shopping destinations, the two-storey, 1,300 sq ft space marks a major moment for the brand’s UK retail presence.
Designed to blend Kiehl’s New York apothecary heritage with a modern shopping experience, the flagship has been created with product discovery in mind, making it easier for customers to explore its bestselling formulas while enjoying a more immersive beauty retail experience.
As beauty brands continue investing in physical stores, Kiehl’s is betting big on the high street, positioning its new Carnaby Street home as a destination for skincare lovers and a hub for community-led events in the capital.
Should you need some inspiration for the man in your life, Abbott Lyon has expanded into menswear with the launch of Abbott Lyon Man, a collection of jewellery, watches and accessories designed to elevate everyday outfits.
From classic watches to understated chains and bracelets, the range focuses on timeless pieces that add a polished finishing touch without feeling overly formal or trend-driven.
Aldi’s popular wooden toy range is returning to stores on October 8, with more than 50 toys starting from just £3.99.
New additions this year include a mini Cinema Counter & Kebab Takeaway Food Cart, a 2-in-1 Market Stall and a Stackable Dishwasher, alongside returning favourites such as dollhouses, railway sets and ride-on toys.
As with all Specialbuys, stock is expected to sell quickly, with a two-per-customer limit on selected lines to give more families a chance to snap them up ahead of Christmas.
And finally, for those of us looking for a new pair of headphones, Nothing is back with another eye-catching tech launch.
The new Headphone (1) Pro combines the brand’s distinctive transparent design with studio-inspired sound, featuring advanced noise cancellation, immersive spatial audio and an impressive 68-hour battery life, making it a strong contender for anyone looking to upgrade their listening experience.
