The New Stanley Tumblers Are The Fanciest Ones We've Ever Seen - And They're Bound To Sell Out

I'll admit it, I'm that person who checks Stanley's site more often than I probably should. Every drop seems better than the last. I love every piece from the Oasis Collection, for example, and, honestly? It lives up to the hype. The brand is aesthetic, durable, and genuinely practical, keeping me hydrated all day. So, when I heard Stanley was teaming up with LoveShackFancy again, I knew I'd be first in line for the drop. And now that I've seen the Ibiza Sunset Collection? I'll happily clear a shelf just to make room for it. The Ibiza Sunset Collection pairs Stanley's cult 'keep-your-drink-ice-cold-all-day' engineering with LoveShackFancy's dreamy vintage rose print. It comprises six awe-inducing pieces, each one more photogenic than the last. Fronted by the gorgeous Iris Apatow and dropping on Tuesday, 19th August at 6 pm, this already feels like the sell-out collab of the summer. The first Stanley x LoveShackFancy collab last year vanished faster than a free Aperol Spritz in Ibiza, and friends are still mourning the pieces they didn't snag in time. It's probably best to sign up now to the waitlist so you get the all-important notification once they're live. 1. Stanley 1913 x LoveShackFancy Quencher® H2.0 FlowState™ Tumbler | 1.18L Stanley 1913 x LoveShackFancy Your hydration hero, now dressed for romance. In the dreamy Ibiza Sunset Ikat rose print, this 1.18L Quencher keeps drinks ice cold for hours, with a 3-position lid and pink bow straw topper. 2. Stanley 1913 x LoveShackFancy IceFlow™ Flip Straw Tumbler | 0.89L Stanley 1913 x LoveShackFancy For sipping in style. This 0.89L IceFlow Tumbler features a built-in flip straw, easy-carry handle, and double-wall insulation, all wrapped in shimmering pink florals. 3. Stanley 1913 x LoveShackFancy Quencher® H2.0 FlowState™ Tumbler | 0.89L Stanley 1913 x LoveShackFancy Your everyday tumbler, but prettier. The 0.89L Quencher in Ibiza Sunset keeps drinks cold for hours and comes topped with LoveShackFancy's signature pink bow straw cap. 4. Stanley 1913 x LoveShackFancy Quencher® H2.0 FlowState™ Tumbler | 0.59L Small but mighty. This 0.59L Quencher packs all the insulation you love, now with a handy handle and LoveShackFancy bow in the Ibiza Sunset print. Ideal for iced lattes on the go.

Ibiza final boss questions 'What just happened' after Bonnie Blue bombshell meet up

Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay has shared a cryptic post with fans just days after his surprise meet up with controversial adult star Bonnie Blue. Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay has reflected on his rollercoaster ride to fame, just days after his first awkward meeting with controversial adult star Bonnie Blue. The 26-year-old, who became an internet sensation overnight for his Lego style haircut, appeared bewildered as he took to Instagram today to ask his fans: "What just happened?" ‌ The Geordie star has now signed up for management, released his own dance track, partied with celebs and flown to Ibiza in a private jet with his pals in the space of just a few days. It's hard to believe that just a couple of weeks ago, he was just an ordinary young guy looking forward to a holiday on the Spanish party island with his friends, the Mirror reports. ‌ For anyone who has been living under a rock, Jack skyrocketed to fame earlier this month after images of him partying the night away in Ibiza went viral. He's been lapping up his new found fame and using every opportunity he can to make it last. ‌ Sharing a random snap of a perfectly trimmed tree in a hilarious nod to his incredible bowl cut, Jack mused on Instagram: "Two weeks ago, I went on a lads' holiday and someone took a video of me on the Dance Floor. Was it a dream? What just happened?" It comes just days after Jack met up with controversial adult star Bonnie Blue on the party island, in what appeared to be a very awkward interaction. The cringeworthy clip shows Jack with his arm around Bonnie while he is facing his head away from her. They can also be seen making awkward conversation while standing fairly far apart. In a since-deleted video, Bonnie revealed: "It was my shortest video yet. I was shocked how nervous he was." ‌ Jack's newfound fanbase had previously issued caution over meeting with Bonnie after she left a seemingly suggestive comment on one of his Instagram posts. Jack uploaded a post of him bopping along in a car with his mates as he captioned it: "The final boss can't be slayed… your misses on the other hand? Her levels been completed." ‌ Former OnlyFans star Bonnie, who is known for using ragebait as a marketing strategy, seized the opportunity and commented a suggestive eyes emoji beneath the video. Bonnie has become famous for taking part in extreme sex stuns, which have previously included sleeping with 1,057 men in the space of just 12 hours. However, in recent months, she has found herself permanently banned from OnlyFans after she announced her plans to hold a human "petting zoo challenge". ‌ This stunt would have seen Bonnie locked in a glass cage, inviting strangers to come and do "whatever they wanted" to her. In Channel 4's show '1,000 Men And Me: The Bonnie Blue Story' - which led to hundreds of Ofcom complaints - Bonnie bragged: "I am going to be completely helpless, tied down, gagged, choked". OnlyFans had concerns about this stunt, which it claims was in violation of its Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service, and so issued the permanent ban.
