OzSale.com.au - iPad App {Video Review}

Who would have thought, my excessive spending habits would catch the attention of Lizzy at OzSale.com.au?! 

Well, then again - why am I surprised? I do spend money like it is going out of fashion, but I must say that I have been very good this past month. Budgeting like it is nobodies business, I tell you. 

I was lucky enough to be given an iPad from OzSale.com.au in order to be able to review the brand new iPad app which launched last Wednesday and I have done my very first video review on it!

Try to limit your laughter at my video, I don't have any form of video editing software so what you see is what you get. None of this chopping and editing business. 

I was so excited when the iPad arrived, and went straight to Vodafone, where a lovely young lad named Ambrose (I know, how often do you associate the word Lovely with Vodafone) helped me to tether it to my iPhone so that I could get cracking immediately. 

I wanted to do this video the night that I got it, but I needed to wait for a day when I would be home with natural sunlight. 

This is the home screen of the new OzSale iPad app which shows you six sales at one, as opposed to the three that are visible on the iPhone app. 

(below is the iPhone app)

Once again, the iPad app shows a hell of a lot more in one screen when compared to the iPhone, but I suppose that this is to be expected considering the screen is about six times as big. 

As I said in my video, the only previous negative to the iPhone app was the fact that you could not see brand, only the photo, as you were scrolling through but it was rectified in the update of the iPhone app and the new iPad app.

The app seems to run very quickly, and everything is really user friendly. 

Now, I need to get back to checking out that diamond sale I mentioned in my video post!!

Have you purchased from OzSale? What were your thoughts?! How did you like my video?

Missoni Woven Chain Bangle

I ordered this Missoni Bracelet online from the Net-A-Porter sale last week and when it arrived today I was devo. It’s way too big. There is no way I can wear it.

My wrist is 15cm and its measurements are: Circumference 7" / 19cm and Width of Band 1" / 2cm. It just falls off my darn small wrist.

So the dilemma is: Do I return it for a credit note even though I don't want anything else on the site OR use it as a Blog Giveaway when I hit 500 followers?

It fit Kitty so it will fit a lot of other people. I probably should have looked at measurements before I bought it.

Missoni bangle: gold-tone brass oversized chain, interwoven multicolored thread, designer-stamped link. Slips on. Comes in a signature drawstring bag.

It comes in a Missoni pouch and a Missoni box.

Vote.

Return or Giveaway?

Sharing The Love

I hope you guys know by now, but I am all about sharing the love. The love for a good bargain that is.

After finding my wedges on sale, I asked around on my Twitter to see if it would be weird of me to buy back ups of my Windsor Smith Karri Wedges. The feedback was 100% ‘No not weird, smart”. I agreed, obviously.

I found my wedges on Windsor Smith for $48 and signed up to be a member and got free shipping. Hell yes. I cant remember if I mentioned that I returned my black wedges to Myer, so am glad that I now have them again.

For sizing reference, I usually wear a size 6 or 6.5 but in these I have to wear a 7.

 

You can buy them on Windsor Smith – here, I have even done all the hard work for you.

Black Wedges

Tan Wedges

It appears that lots of girls are buying multiples of items that they love. How about you? I have a few dresses in multiples, but that’s about it so far.

Ellery 'Mr Fox' Dress $759

May The Lable 'Ramsay' Dress $169 - I would buy this for myself if I was not on a ban!

Therese Rawsthorne 'Strap Accordian' Dress $570

I had to return my Windsor Smith wedges in black, due to a sizing error on my behalf, but this is all okay because The Iconic have them for $84.95 with free shipping!!!

You can buy the wedges here ! I know I will be!

You can also get a $10 voucher if you sign up the website, Ka Ching!

I am curious to know if you still shop in store, or is most of your shopping done online?

 I hear the retailers complaining about lack of sales, but lets be honest, if you want people to shop in store you need to be able to compete with online prices and actually give good service to in store customers.

 I waited 15 minutes at an empty Myer counter, only to be told to go to another counter, who sent me back to the original counter where I again waited 15 minutes to be served. Please, I would prefer to waste my precious time loading items into my online shopping cart and checking out before the guilt kicks in.

Online shopping is more convenient, usually saves money, and also includes the pleasure of receiving a package in the post!
