This week's Trend Trove brings a mix of wear-now finds and transitional buys, alongside the latest beauty and fashion news. From a new Jo Malone London partnership with Boots to M&S's Formula relaunch with Emma Willis, there's plenty to tempt shoppers.
Beauty and Fashion News
Boots has expanded its premium beauty offering with the official launch of Jo Malone London in 39 stores nationwide and online. Shoppers can now purchase iconic scents like Lime Basil & Mandarin and English Pear & Freesia, as well as the new Sea Salt & Bergamot cologne.
M&S has unveiled a new chapter for its affordable skincare range, Formula, with presenter Emma Willis as the face of the brand. The relaunch introduces the new Ultra Peptide Serum (£29), designed to target multiple signs of ageing in four weeks, with skin expert Dr Elizabeth Hawkes joining as a beauty ambassador.
Treatwell, Europe's largest beauty and wellness booking platform, revealed that almost half of all appointments are booked within 24 hours, despite many Brits claiming to be organised travellers. To celebrate, the brand staged a takeover of London Victoria station, highlighting that forgetting a pre-trip pedicure isn't the end of the world. Manicures, pedicures, facials, and massages are among the most popular holiday bookings.
New Product Launches
Dyson has unveiled four new attachments for its Airwrap Coanda2x multi-styler, including a conical curling barrel, a larger volumising brush, an upgraded long-barrel curler, and a new Air Straightener attachment, all designed to style without extreme heat.
Oribe has expanded its Hair Alchemy range with the new Bond Building Elixir (£75), a treatment that repairs all three key hair bonds and is clinically proven to reduce breakage. Bella Hadid is the latest face of Alo, fronting the brand's new campaign and Pre-Fall collection.
Havaianas has launched its first-ever kitten heel flip-flop, debuting at Copenhagen Fashion Week. The new style reimagines the iconic rubber sandal with a low heel and elevated silhouette, proving flip-flops are no longer just for the poolside.
