Whether you\u2019re still on the hunt for a Mother\u2019s Day gift<\/a> or just want a treat for yourself, this week\u2019s Trend Trove is truly chocka with things you\u2019re going to want to shop pronto.<\/p>\n

And I would know because everything in this list has me in a chokehold.<\/p>\n

From fashion<\/a> perfectly suited to the incoming warmer days and fragrances<\/a> that smell like a warm hug from someone you love, to homeware<\/a> fit for spring and truly the most comfortable bra<\/a> you\u2019ll ever<\/em> wear, this is my curated selection of must-haves to inform your impulse buying.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been sleeping very well lately all thanks to my Drowsy Eyelash Protecting Sleep Mask<\/a>, which blocks out every bit of light while keeping that claustrophobic, eyelash squishing feeling at bay. True game-changer.<\/p>\n

Evelyn & Bobbie<\/a>, an amazing female-owned underwear brand, has just dropped in John Lewis and I need every single piece of their smoothing, seamless and oh-so comfortable designs \u2013 but the Wire-Free Push-Up Bra <\/a>is at the top of my \u2018must-have\u2019 list.<\/p>\n

Damson Madder<\/a> has also just dropped their new Spring Collection and it\u2019s absolutely stunning \u2013 full of florals, unique designs and adorable graphics. The Becca Mini Dress<\/a>, however, has my heart.<\/p>\n

And in my bid to not always wear dirty white Salomons out the house, my eye was instantly drawn to the Salomon ASC + trainers in Vanilla Ice \/ Castlerock \/ Neon Flame<\/a> \u2013 a sleeker but just as comfy and reliable pair as my older ones.<\/p>\n

Designed to take you from A-to-B stylishly but, most importantly, comfortably, they\u2019re a total must for me.<\/p>\n

Ready to explore this week\u2019s top picks and treat yourself while you\u2019re at it? Get stuck into the Trend Trove below.<\/p>\n
