She styled the outfit with a pair of slip-on heels, chunky gold jewellery and a gold bag - a look that is sure to leave many open-mouthed. Both supermarket finds range from a size 6 to a size 22 and are available to order online. According to Tesco bosses, these F&F buys are 'must-have items for the season'. Not only this, but those as Tesco also hailed the midi length skirt, which is priced at £22.50, as a 'statement' piece, made from a cotton rich fabric. Tesco bosses recognised that the skirt contains 'modal for extra comfort and breathability' and features a 'gathered elasticated waist and a relaxed silhouette for a laidback look'.

The gathered detailing of this top 'adds texture', while the strapless design 'offers a flattering fit'. The set is sure to be a winner with many fashion fans this summer and when worn together, will be ideal for garden parties, holidays, and beyond. Reasons to shop supermarket fashion When looking for new pieces to add to your seasonal wardrobe, or update your basics, there's no need to spend hours walking around clothes shops, or scrolling online. Just pick up a dress or two alongside your fruit and veg... They're convenient - Chances are you visit your supermarket more times than a shopping centre or high street. It's affordable - For basics to more fashion-led pieces, supermarkets are leading the way for budget fashion that doesn't look cheap. They're more on-trend that you think - With a customer database larger than the average high street store, shops like ASDA, Sainsbury's and Tesco are able to cater to the markets and predict trends in a lot more areas than just food supply. They fit well - Fits and lengths often come with a little more modesty in mind. Fabrics are often highly practical too—think plenty of 100% cotton that can be thrown into the washing machine without thought. Fashion fans beam The Instagram clip, which was posted under the username @pia_gracesmith, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 128,000 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 1,818 likes and 39 comments. Tesco clothing is on point this year Instagram user Fashion fans were left gushing with Pia's Tesco haul and many eagerly rushed to the comments to express this. One person said: 'Love it all, you look amazing.' Is supermarket fashion the new high street? DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in: The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family. Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street. Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year. So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful? Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative. A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year. Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes. Another added: 'Omg all of the outfits look amazing on you!' A third commented: 'Adds everything to basket.' Meanwhile, someone else claimed: 'Tesco clothing is on point this year.'

Why this 26-year-old will never give us booze like her boring fellow Gen Zers
I recently invited an old school friend round for alfresco Aperol spritzes. Even if we don't see each other for the rest of the year, reuniting for outdoor cocktails as soon as the warm weather comes is an annual tradition. I went all out with the preparations: enough chips and dips to sustain an entire family for a week and bottles upon bottles of the Italian apéritif that is summer's go-to tipple. My friend arrived and we exchanged the cursory questions: I asked her, 'How's your boyfriend?', she asked me, 'How's your cat?' That indignity alone was enough to have me reaching for the bottle. But as I went to pour, out came the sentence no 20something wants to hear: 'None for me, thanks. I've stopped drinking.' As she explained how her newfangled soberdom had led to such improvements in her half-marathon training plan, my flatmate Pia and I exchanged a secret look of sympathy, as if she'd just told us she had kidney failure or hadn't got tickets for Sabrina Carpenter's tour. But my sober friend is not alone. A recent poll found 39 per cent of 18- to 24-year-olds never drink, compared to just eight per cent of over 55s. Then there are the 60 per cent of Gen Zers who are 'sober curious' or interested in reducing their alcohol intake and 'mindfully' drinking. I would also describe myself as 'sober curious', in that I'm curious why anyone with a functioning liver would choose to ditch booze. Between everything this generation has to worry about – catastrophic climate change, AI taking our jobs, never being able to afford a house – the torture of going teetotal is surely a battle we needn't fight. Excessive alcohol consumption has been linked to plenty of nasties, from cancer to heart disease and mental health issues. But that's years of excessive drinking, not a cheeky couple after a hellish workday when you're not even 30. My main gripe is how smug the non-drinker is. If you've ever met a partner you felt attracted to while sober, good for you. (Apparently, 65 per cent of Gen Zers prefer a 'dry' first date. Reader, 65 per cent of Gen Z are delusional.) Because there is nothing more uncomfortable than sitting stone-cold sober with a stranger, while asking each other questions that sound like the patchy French from your GCSE oral exam ('Yes, I have two siblings, and at the weekend we go to the cinema together'). My friend Pia once went on a Hinge date with a sober guy who a) refused to pay for a round because her alcoholic beverages were more expensive, b) kept pointing at her gin and lemonade and whispering, 'That stuff's lethal', and c) spoke for 90 minutes about his play, which involved talking animals trying to convert the audience to veganism. Another time she told a 'mindful' drinker she was dating that she'd finished work at lunchtime and gone for a G&T in the sunshine. When she later made up some rubbishy excuse to never see him again, he sympathetically asked: 'Is it because you're going to rehab?' We now pay money for an upgraded dating app to filter out non-drinkers from our feeds, a move we've christened pro-boozer prejudice. I'm not gagging for a drink the second I clock off on a Monday. My drinking practices are much more sophisticated. When Pia and I were 18, we'd take water bottles full of straight vodka in the taxi on the way into town and swig from them in the queue for the club. Now, we stick to two-for-one cocktails or the handy supply of aeroplane minis (perfect for sneaking into a bar for G&Ts) we stock up on every holiday. I'm also relatively healthy, given my love of alcohol is matched by my love of spin classes, which acts as a counterbalance. But however sad it sounds, there is no better feeling than being tipsy. Take Glastonbury, one of the funnest places on earth. Imagine wading through mud and navigating loos covered in strangers' wee sober. It stops being cool in a Kate Moss way and starts being about survival, like some Bear Grylls documentary. In my opinion Gen Zers have given up on booze because they are fixated on being in control, whether it's their protein intake, carbon footprint or extensive array of named houseplants. I, meanwhile, am desperate to relinquish control for a while, which sometimes ends with chatting to strangers in a kebab shop. My old school friend might now have a renewed liver, the radiant skin of a newborn and a half-marathon time to impress Paula Radcliffe. But what I have is better: the ability to endure a first date without clawing my own eyes out, the skill to survive a festival without thinking too hard about embracing a Portaloo, and the joy of the first Aperol spritz of summer. Besides, I'm going to see Oasis in July – and there is no way the band that sings 'Cigarettes & Alcohol' is going to be playing Wembley to a crowd of kombucha drinkers.

Tasty Kraut food truck owners return to normal business after losing food truck in explosion
SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — The owner of Tasty Kraut, a German cuisine food truck, Pia and her husband Holger Buchwalder had only been living their American dream for a few weeks before they lost their food truck in an explosion. 'We came back Monday and the whole thing exploded like the whole roof of the building everything was gone…until now we don't know what really happened,' Holger said. He said insurance money helped cover some of the repairs, but they needed more to be able to fully reopen. 'A friend of ours said start a go fund me, so we did that it did really good people from San Angelo friends… people we don't know friends from back in Germany…everybody sent money, so we were pretty lucky,' Holger said. Just four weeks after the explosion, Holger said they were able to purchase a new-used trailer to get his wife's business back up and running. ''With the help of the people I started to look around for another trailer and the same place we bought the first one they had this used one their and it was in our price range, so we bought it within that week,' Holger said. Now with their business back, Holger said he and his wife are able to continue living their American dream and begin talks about what's next. 'I would like a place where we could stay, we could put some tables there and still could use it as a food trailer that goes to events, but during the week we have one spot in town with some tables around so in the future we will look for a place like that,' Holger said. This new American dream that is now a possibility he says is thanks to the friends they know and the supporters they don't. 'We had a lot of help from Germany too from friends, but I think over here it was people we hardly know and they helped us and call us and say how do you feel do you need anything so that was just really good,' Holger said.

Pia Whitesell turns heads as she models $7,700 cowgirl outfit at Stagecoach Festival in California
Pia Miller showcased her upmarket fashion sense on Tuesday when she attended the Stagecoach Festival in California. The former Home and Away star, 41, turned heads in a 'cowboy take me away' shirt from TWP valued at $1,050. She added to the look with a 'beep beep' mini skirt by Simon Miller priced at $545. Pia accessorised the ensemble with a Prada suede shoulder bag coming in at a whopping $6,100, and a wide-brimmed felt cowboy hat and knee-high suede boots. She wore her signature brunette locks styled in soft, cascading waves that framed her face effortlessly, while her makeup allowed her glowing complexion to take centre stage. It comes after she shared footage enjoying some fun in the sun with her Hollywood talent agent husband Patrick, 59. In the clip shared to Instagram, Pia showed off her natural beauty with minimal makeup while her signature brunette waves cascaded over her shoulders. She looked effortlessly chic in a knit top, while Patrick kept things casual in a fitted white T-shirt, khaki trousers, and a white cap from Yellowstone Club. The pair appeared completely smitten as they lay side-by-side on a manicured lawn, with Patrick flashing a cheeky grin and flexing his arm for the camera. 'Happy day of love completed,' Pia captioned the video, adding two heart symbols and a cross, indicating the romantic nature of their outing. The couple, who tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2021, have kept much of their relationship off social media, making the rare video all the more special for her 400,000-plus Instagram followers. The romantic clip appears to have been taken during a quiet getaway, with blue skies and picturesque scenery in the background. Pia's transformation from soap star to international jet setter was complete after she tied-the-knot with the Hollywood heavyweight Patrick Whitesell in 2021. Patrick is the Executive Chairman of William Morris Endeavor and is believed to have a net worth of around USD $600 million. He is widely considered one of the most influential men in movies with a client list including Ben Affleck, Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale. He is the ex-husband of journalist Lauren Sánchez, who is now engaged to the world's richest man, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Pia has two sons - Lennox and Isaiah - from previous relationships. The boys have fully immersed themselves in the American way of life, with Lennox joining a football team at his high school and Isaiah attending college.
