I don’t know about you, but I’m still in disbelief that we’ve survived January – the month that lasts roughly 400 days. But the finish line is finally in sight, and honestly, what better way to celebrate than with a little payday pick‑me‑up?

As Metro’s resident shopping obsessive, I’ve once again been unleashed onto the high street, hunting down the freshest drops so you don’t have to. This week, I’m deep in my wellness era – lighting candles like I’m summoning calm, cocooning myself in blankets, adding vases I definitely don’t need, and tracking my sleep as if I’m preparing for the Olympics.

But it’s not all self‑care chic. I’ve also found cosy knits worth hibernating in, earrings to refresh my stack, boots that mean business, and plenty more where that came from.

Trend Trove is, as ever, the place to be — and when it comes to the shopping intel you need, consider me your high‑street Gossip Girl… minus the scandal (sadly).

So, settle in, scroll on, and treat yourself to a little fashion, beauty, homeware and even a cheeky beverage moment. Go on – you’ve earned it.

Finally, the calls of bigger busted babes has been answered. (Picture: Metro/Kelly Brook/Next)

So, what’s been happening this week? Well, NEXT has launched its first fuller‑bust lingerie edit for DD–K, created with model and presenter Kelly Brook. The collection focuses on proper support; great fit and pieces women want to wear – from plunging silhouettes and breathable power mesh to beautifully detailed lace and pastel sets. Kelly says the range is shaped by years of learning what makes her ‘feel confident, comfortable and genuinely herself’, and she hopes it helps others feel the same. The edit includes 22 lingerie sets, with bras available in sizes DD–K and priced £22-£47, landing February 2 on Next.co.uk and in selected UK stores.

This whole outfit is one we cannot wait to wear when the weather allows us to remove the 15 layers we’re currently rocking. (Picture: Metro/Marks & Spencer)

Highlights include the Patch Pocket Flare, updated ecru washes across hero shapes like the Barrel and Palazzo, and fresh denim separates such as the Denim Bomber and Crease Front Barrel Jeans. Menswear gets a modern refresh too, tapping into 2026’s straight, tailored silhouettes and refined indigo-to-ecru washes, while Kids offers easy, relaxed pieces made for layering and weekend wear. Thoughtfully designed and built to last, with its denim made to be lived in, all season long.

My absolutely, favourite beauty brand of the moment MERIT, has just announced its first big launch of 2026, Signature Lip Blush – a next‑generation sheer matte lipstick designed for ultimate wearability. It delivers that soft, blurred matte look without any of the dryness, thanks to a balm‑like formula that’s light, buildable and effortless. One swipe gives a natural wash of colour; a few layers add impact, all while feeling weightless. Available in eight easy, everyday shades – from warm nude Vendome to berry Framboise – the formula features gel‑wrapped pigments, an olive‑infused base and a collagen‑supporting active for smooth application and lasting hydration. Created to fade naturally without feathering, it’s a modern matte that feels comfortable all day. Signature Lip Blush launches February 2 on meritbeauty.com and at Sephora for £25. Get in!

I’ve been a HUGE fan of this brand for well over a year now, and love that they are in Boots! (Picture: Metro/Boots/Swiish)

I love that Boots is stepping up its wellness game with the arrival of Australian supplement brand SWIISH, bringing their science‑led formulas and proactive approach to health into selected stores and online. With options for immunity, gut health, sleep, energy and overall vitality, it makes building simple, everyday rituals feel so much more achievable. And with wellness becoming such a priority for so many of us, it’s clear Boots is leaning into that shift — offering more choice, more innovation and genuinely useful products that fit around real life.

It’s a big month for the Aussie brands launching into stores and online. (Picture: Metro/Harrods/ RATIONALE)

Finally, I’m always excited when a truly science‑driven beauty brand lands in the UK, so RATIONALE arriving at Harrods this month feels huge. The Australian brand has built a cult following for its rigorous, research‑led formulas, and its Essential Six system: a day‑and‑night ritual built around protection and repair – is finally landing here alongside its solar‑protective Beautiful Balms. With more than 30 years of dermatological research behind it and founder Richard Parker’s obsession with reversing sun damage, it’s skincare with serious credentials. And honestly, I love that it’s all about luminous, resilient skin powered by real science, not hype.

I’m obsessed with this jacket – it’s one of those pieces you throw on once and instantly wonder how you lived without it. Made with linen, it’s beautifully lightweight, so it has that breezy, effortless feel I love for transitional weather. The fit is relaxed in the best way, with a clean collarless neckline and two roomy chest pockets that give it a subtle utility edge. It buttons down the front, and the drawstring waist is a total game changer – you can cinch it in for a more flattering, styled look or leave it loose for that cool, laid‑back vibe.

Whether you’re recovering from a walking red flag, celebrating the end of a relationship, or finally blocking that toxic ex (hello, Gaslighter’s Gin Fizz), there’s a drink for every mood. And for those 'why did I text him back?' moments, the book gently suggests mixing an Ex on the Beach instead. It’s funny, relatable and the perfect little treat for anyone navigating – or recovering from – the dating scene.

It’s the kind of piece I can throw on with a graphic sweatshirt and shorts for a casual daytime look, but it also works with a floaty midi dress and boots for coffee catch‑ups.
