Ok, not to toot my own horn, but this week’s selection of Trend Trove picks is pretty darn good.

The colder weather has had me trawling the net for sleek layers, new-in footwear and season-transcending beauty must-haves, and this lot will have you reaching for your credit card.

From the brand-new Paula’s Choice Retinal serum that’s been formulated with Oleyl Adapalenate to target acne as well as wrinkles, to the new Jones Road Miracle Balm in Pinky Bronze for the perfect cold makeup looks, there’s really something for everyone in this selection.

Birkenstock have just released their brand new Boston Suede clogs in Faded Purple, and we’re already planning all our A/W outfits around them.

Plus, the brown ‘leather’ jacket trend comes to a chic, affordable climax in the NA-KD Zip Detail Pu Jacket, a truly gorgeous piece for cold-weather styling. Styled up with knee-high boots and a skirt? Dreamy.

Looking for a perfume that’ll have people saying ‘You smell AMAZING’ every time you leave the house? The Glossier You Eau De Parfum, my firm favourite, is in the highlights today, and if you haven’t tried it already you’re going to want to.
