I tried new €40 denim dress from Dunnes Stores for TV look – here’s how I styled it
FASHION fans are in a frenzy over a new denim dress for spring – and it’s a major wardrobe staple.
Aisling Larkin alerted her followers after wearing the beautiful look on TV.
Taking to social media, she explained how she gets ready for her day in front of the camera.
In the caption of the post, she wrote: “Get Ready With Me: TV Cook Life.
“Ever wonder what it takes to get camera-ready in a professional kitchen?
“Here’s my morning routine before the cameras start rolling…
“From picking the perfect shoe…. That no one will ever see (third time’s a charm!) to that final spritz of hairspray that needs to survive hot studio lights.
“The real tea? That ‘effortless’ on-screen look takes way more prep than you’d think!”
In the video, Aisling can be seen wearing a stunning denim dress that is perfect for spring.
She said: “I’m wearing this oversized, 1970s kind of vibe denim dress – I adore it.
“It’s new stock in Dunnes Stores“.
She paired it with some orange high heels from Una Healy’s collection for the perfect pop of colour.
The Savida Denim Mini Dress is on the shelves in stores across the country and online for just €40.
But fans have been quick to snap it up, as while it was originally available in sizes XXS to XXL, now the only size remaining is XS.
In the official item description on the Dunnes Stores website, fashion chiefs said: “This shirt dress from Savida is crafted from a soft and durable cotton denim.
“Cut to a mini length, it is designed with a classic collar, a three button placket, and two patch pockets.
“Pair it with tights and boots for an effortlessly stylish night-out look. Savida is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
But as mentioned, shoppers will need to be quick as it appears to be flying out of stock online.
However, your size may still be available in your local store.
Meanwhile, shoppers are also loving a new cropped trench coat after it landed on racks.
The Gallery Suedette Cropped Trench Coat is a bargain, costing just €35.
You can choose between a lovely khaki colour or a stone shade.
Shoppers can pick up the coat in sizes ranging from XS to XL.
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
English beach town named one of the UK’s coolest places to live has fish festivals and legendary ice cream
THE seaside town of Newlyn in Cornwall has been dubbed as one of the ‘coolest’ places to relocate.
Near Penzance, the coastal gem has been highlighted in a list by The Times as one of the top 11 places to move to in 2025.
The Times said: “Since the 1880s Newlyn has been known for its art scene, thanks to the quality of the Cornish light and Aegeanesque beaches.”
They say it has a reputation for incredible seafood, beaches and its artistic history so we had a look for ourselves.
And it’s true, there’s so much to see and do in Newlyn, including getting up close and personal with the stunning coastline.
The beaches are of course a big hit in the summer months. The Newlyn Tolcarne Beach, also called Bowjey Beach, is a pebble beach on the edge of Newlyn.
It’s a great place to swim, but there are warnings to watch out for boat traffic as Newlyn is a busy harbour.
Walking on the coastline you’ll also hit Wherrytown Beach, a large pebble beach between Penzance and Newlyn.
The well-known town of Penzance is only one mile away and is home to a beach that is great for rockpooling and views of the tidal island, St Michael’s Mount.
For any film fans, the Newlyn Filmhouse is a good spot, the independent cinema is inside a converted Fish Cellar & Smokery first built in 1876.
They play new releases as well as Cornish features, musicals, children’s films, ballets, and host independent film openings and Q&As.
On their website their only rule is “no crunching or rustling!”
Fishing in Newlyn dates back to the 15th century, so any fan of the sport should really consider a visit.
Fish you can catch range from cod to haddock, lobster, crab, and scallops.
To fish on the pier you will need a permit which you can get from the Harbour Office, they cost £10 per year or £1 for a day.
The town is so passionate about fish that they even hold an annual fish festival.
On the August bank holiday, Newlyn celebrates all things fish. There are local arts and crafts, demonstrations of live cooking, theatre and entertainment.
There’s also the opportunity to see a traditional seafood auction.
If you’re less keen on the fishing and more keen on tasting what’s on offer, the Mackerel Sky Seafood Bar is a popular spot.
They offer crispy sole, grilled white fish, mackerel, monkfish burgers, crab and prawns – all locally caught of course.
Two doors down is the Mackerel Sky Seafood Shack, a less formal place to enjoy the same food.
You can’t go to the seaside without getting an ice cream and Jelberts is the hidden gem of Newlyn.
It’s a family run business owned by Jim Glover for nearly 40 years – and was run by his grandfather and uncle for another 40 years before that.
If the last name if familiar that’s because it’s made by the family of Olympic gold medallist Helen Glover.
The shop only serves one flavour of ice cream, vanilla, and is famous for serving clotted cream on top of its crispy waffle cones.
One customer said they have “the greatest vanilla ice cream I have ever eaten”.
TV chef James Martin once called it “fantastic” and the “best ice cream” he’d tasted.
Not technically in Newlyn, but the Jubilee Pool in Penzance is a four minute drive away – so it still counts.
The lido opened in 1935 and is filled with seawater that’s heated just above the external sea temperature.
There’s also a cafe and restaurant, so its a place where lots of locals spend their time.
One wrote: “This place is a joy. The clean lines of the design, the thoughtfully-selected gifts in the shop, the lovely soup and sandwiches in the cafe – everything has been done so well and so lovingly.”
They hold fitness classes as well as special events, some where dogs can take a dip, and even a full moon swim at night.
Here's another place to explore in Cornwall
Here's a sweet Cornish village to explore if you want to avoid the crowds...
The tiny village of Cadgwith has been named as a great alternative for tourists wanting to visit Cornwall, but avoid the crowds in peak season.
Located on the eastern side of the Lizard Peninsula, the tiny fishing village is home to a cluster of thatched cottages that line the sides of its harbour.
It even describes itself as being “forgotten by the 21st century” on its website. Sykes Holiday Cottages said: “Cadgwith, a quaint village and fishing port in Cornwall, brings all the charm of St Ives with much less people.”
Fans hail ‘beautiful young man’ Michael O’Sullivan as old interview emerges of him explaining family’s love of horses
HORSE-RACING fans were urged to “stop what you’re doing and watch this” after an old interview of Michael O’Sullivan emerged in the wake of his passing.
The 24-year-old jockey tragically died on Sunday after suffering a horrendous fall at Thurles on February 6.
Tributes have been paid to the Corkman in the aftermath, with the likes of Willie Mullins, Rachael Blackmore, and Gordon Elliott among those paying their respects.
In the wake of his death, an interview he conducted with TheHorse.ie in December 2023 re-emerged.
In it, O’Sullivan revealed just how far back his family‘s love of horses goes and how it inspired his career.
He explained: “My father was an amateur jockey, William.
“He was quite successful; he won the Foxhunter [Chase] at Cheltenham on Lovely Citizen and the La Touche.
“My brother Alan is going down the same route.
“He wouldn’t have been taking as much of an interest as I did early on but when he did he just focused on race horses and that’s all he wanted to know.
“My uncle Eugene trains. My grandfather Eoin, he started the family off.
“He bred horses and owned horses all his life and obviously Maxine, my cousin, rides and Eoin, my cousin, used to ride as well.
“My aunt Marie McCartan is in Ballyphilip Stud with her husband Paul and they are doing very well.
“My father retired in 2005 and I have a brief memory of being at a point-2-point and seeing him in Trevor Hemmings’ colours and that is my only memory of him riding so that is my earliest memory.
“I was allergic to ponies early on. I couldn’t breathe or my eyes would all swell up so I wasn’t too keen on it for a while.
“I got antihistamines and I suppose just got used to it and started riding ponies properly from nine years of age on.”
The interview has gone viral since O’Sullivan’s death, with fans retweeting it while paying tribute to the jockey.
Tubba said: “What a nice boy – humble – talented – so sad” and Sinead posted: “There are no words. Devastating news.
“My thoughts are with Michael’s heart broken family. A fabulous young man.”
The Final Furlong Podcast tweeted: “If you haven’t seen it, watch this special feature on Michael O’Sullivan by @TheHorseIE.
“They sat down with him for an interview and followed him to the gallops and the track, giving a behind-the-scenes look at his incredible life as a jockey.
“A true class act. God rest him.”
Kate commented: “If you do one thing today, please watch this interview.
“Michael had achieved so much already in his career yet still had so much more to come with the racing world at his feet”
Richard said: “This is a brilliant piece about a brilliant young man. Give it a watch at some point”
Mark Selby reveals heartwarming first purchase with £100k Welsh Snooker Open prize money
SNOOKER star Mark Selby has revealed what he plans to spend part of his £100,000 Welsh Open prize money on.
Selby, 41, beat Stephen Maguire 9-6 to win his second Welsh Open title on Sunday.
With the score at 6-6 in the final session, the Jester from Leicester managed to seize control and take the final three frames to secure the victory.
In doing so, Selby also took home the huge £100,000 jackpot.
And he vowed to spend some of the money on a new Kindle for his daughter, Sofia.
Selby’s wife, Vikki, and daughter were both in attendance at Venue Cymru for the event.
After the match, he said: “The red I missed she (Sofia) probably would have potted that as well. I’ll get one [a Kindle] if she wants.
“The clearance Stephen made, it was ridiculous, one of the best clearances I have seen. But it didn’t surprise me.”
Speaking to BBC Sport, he also explained: “Obviously I’m delighted.
“It’s great to see Stephen back in finals, four years is way too long, he’s a class act and I’m one of his biggest fans.

“This week I won a lot of key frames when I’ve been 40 or 50 points behind, that’s been the difference.”
Meanwhile, Maguire said: “I had a good week, I’ve enjoyed myself, and I have just come up short in the end.
“There’s nothing you can do when he’s potting all the balls, all credit to Mark.”
