THE BRANDS INSPIRED BY VALENTINES

A day that either people dread or love, single or taken, it’s happening at the end of this week. Many brands have released Valentines inspired collections this year for treats for yourself or treats for a partner, see a couple below.
Kicking off first are Nike’s new Air Max 90 kicks. Although they have included subtle hints to the special day, the pink and red colour palette are a giveaway. On the tongue of the trainer, you’ll find a flap with a snap button, revealing a red heart motif that says “ME + AM90 = TRUE LOVE”, a perfect trainer for the singles out there. You’ll also find heart shaped stamps by the lace eyelets to add more cute details to the shoe. This seems like a perfect gift to give yourself.

Gucci have also joined in on the celebration, releasing a Valentines collection of rings to mugs. A particular favourite is the Valentine’s day chain card case wallet, which has the luxury brand’s name enclosed in a bright red heart. Gifting someone? Get them jewellery including deep-red heart bracelets, earrings or rings on silver. You can also buy a silk scarf which maintains the retailers 70s style, with the Gucci print rimmed by a thick red outline and heart Gucci motif. Keep looking pretty this year with their primer, foundation or lipstick too.



If you’d rather celebrate over a box of chocolates the Pokémon has you covered. They’ve collaborated with the Japanese confectioner Matsukazeya. The box includes eight different sets of goodness shaped like Pikachu, Mew, Dragonite, Ditto and Eevee. The collection comes in different variants from small to large boxes, but most memorably you can buy the Magnet Can Set which includes merch, like removable magnets from the lid so you can have a keepsake.

SAMSUNG REVEAL NEW GALAXY NOTE 8

Samsung has officially unveiled the new Galaxy Note 8 smartphone which features a 6.3-inch “Infinity” display screen, advanced dual camera and wireless charging (move over iPhone 8). It also comes with a multi-purpose S-Pen stylus which can even be used whilst the phone’s screen is off, so say goodbye to pen and paper for scribbling down your food shop.
This release comes after the brand recalled its Note 7 phone last year which set it back billions. They plan on making those billions back, however, through charging you a mere £869 for the Note 8- but they are kind enough to offer free delivery on your order. This innovative device comes with water and dust resistance, Samsung’s Bixby voice assistant and 64GB of standard storage. It is undoubtedly Apple’s leading component as Samsung raise the bar on the future’s smartphones, with the anticipated release of Apple’s iPhone 8.
Available in two colours, “Midnight Black’ and “Orchid Grey” you can pre-order the phone from August 24 but will be available to the lucky few who can afford it as of September 15.

KARL LAGERFELD X VANS

On September 7 Karl Lagerfeld and Vans will be releasing their new collaboration. The Chanel creative director and designer and this skater-boy shoe company may appear a weird and wonderful mix of creative minds but nonetheless intriguing.
This partnering looks at the vans Sk8-Hi, Old Skool and 6 other interpretations. Think white platform soles to match Lagerfeld’s white platform hair or a classic black leather slip-on with a quilted “K” (Chanel’s richness had to slip in there somehow) and you’ve got the collection. Vans have stated that: ‘we wanted it to be iconic Karl meets iconic Vans’ which we’re sure it will be. Of course Karl is oh too cool to comment, darling. The collaboration will also include tees, bomber jackets and backpacks so you can be head-to-toe high street luxury.

DOMINOS DRIVERLESS DELIVERY

It’s a Sunday, you’re hungover and the last thing you want to do is interact with the delivery guy. Don’t worry your sore head as dominos have all your problems solved with this driverless delivery.
The pizza company have teamed up with Ford to trial out autonomous cars which will see you track the progress of your large half-and-half pizza order, and when your hangover cure approaches you’ll be texted a unique code that will unlock the “heatwave” compartment of the car that keeps your pizza warm. Not even kidding.
Sadly, your Two-For-Tuesday’s deal wont be driving around your town anytime soon as this is only being trailed out on Dominos hometown of Michigan, USA. However, if this is successful (how can it not be) it might be widened out across the USA and then the UK. Classic, the US of A getting everything better before us.
P.s how much is that cover photo making you drooool and wanting to make an order? Do it.
