Versace emoji keyboard Mostly involving medusas. Very silly but very good. Makes Kimoji look positively highbrow.
Zara self-checkout Apparently coming. Bank balances, be warned.
Beating Google Maps When you get there in nine minutes rather than 10. Bizarrely satisfying.
Hanne Kolstø Norwegian singer-songwriter who makes good use of a drum machine, appears to have Tilda Swinton hair in the video for I Like You and sometimes dresses like a painter/decorator.
Justin Bieber and Joan Jett Forget the clothes. This is the biggest takeaway from Saint Laurent’s LA show.

Collar points over your jumper Now far too prim Grace from The Good Wife. Wear tucked in for a preppy-on-the-turn look. It’s a bit new Gucci.
Auto texts Those companies that send popintless texts on a Saturday morning, that crucial time when you’re waiting for a reply from someone you met the night before.
