Happy long weekend, everyone — and honestly, it couldn’t have come at a better time.
Those 40 days of resisting chocolate?
Let’s just say my willpower has been tested.
So if you needed an excuse to treat yourself (or someone else), consider this week’s Trend Trove your sign from the shopping gods.
I’ve spent the past few days pounding the high street, scrolling myself into a thumb cramp, and generally keeping my eyes peeled for the best newness – and trust me, this week’s picks are good.
While we all collectively manifest a bit of sunshine over the bank holiday, I’m hoping these finds brighten things up in the meantime.
And if not?
There’s always a hot cross bun to fall back on.
First up: Mulberry.
The brand is spotlighting the people behind its bags with a gorgeous new ‘Rooted in Craft’ campaign shot by Tim Walker at its Somerset factory.
Think artisans, florals and some of its most iconic designs – from the Bayswater and Lily to fresh newness like the Amberley Top Handle and dreamy Out of the Blue and Salcombe Sands colourways.
The Piccadilly weekend bag is also making a very welcome return.
As ever with Mulberry, sustainability sits at the heart of it all, with every leather piece crafted from environmentally accredited tanneries.

Over in beauty, Lancôme has called on Dame Joanna Lumley to front its latest launch: the Rénergie Collagen Lift‑Xtend Cream – and honestly, she couldn’t suit it more.
It’s all about lifting, firming and giving skin that ‘held together’ feeling we all crave.
The texture is wild – bouncy, stretchy, thread‑like – and it melts in beautifully without stickiness.
Lancôme says it visibly tightens and firms from the first swipe, and based on what I’ve tried so far, this is one luxury launch that actually lives up to the hype.
And keeping the beauty buzz going, Samie Elishi has officially stepped up as W7 Cosmetics’ newest brand ambassador.
The partnership has been building since her Love Island days, and her first campaign – shot the week she landed back from South Africa – features her favourite W7 heroes: Golden Glow Drops, Honolulu Bronzer and the Sweet Dreams Overnight Lip Mask.
There’s even talk of her developing her own collection with the brand later this year, which feels like a very natural next move.
‘Hoppy’ shopping.
