And just like that, it’s January again – and with it comes your first edition of Trend Trove and 2026!
After a little time off for the holiday season, our shopping expert is ready (and waiting) to shout about everything she’s seen this year, that you need to know about, add to your basket and have in your wardrobe as soon as possible.
Whether it’s to help with fitness goals, journalling after being spammed on TikTok (IYKYK), making your lunches, starting your morning with coffee at home, home improvements, ‘me-time’, general wellness, and the rest – you can count on her to find it.
She’s even found some skincare devices that will make you look snatched in minutes, skincare that will turn back time, and of course everything else to help hide the fact you haven’t slept since last year.
So, whatever your goal or aspirations for 2026, she’s here to help, or at least not help with your bank balance…
