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?

Olloclip for iPhone!!

Reading blogs can get expensive. I always see things that I want to buy but normally forget about them after a few days. I read a blog post by an american girl who I found through the Purse Forum and she said that she had just bought an olloclip. 

I'm not very technological but I googled it and discovered that it is a detachable lens for the iPhone!!! I did not know that such awesomeness existed in the world.

I found one on eBay but it worked out to be an extra $10 so I just bought it from the actual olloclip online store for $70. It arrived within 48 hours which I was quite impressed about! 

I find it bothersome to carry my Canon digital cam around with me, and it has a scratched lens and the shutter doesn't open properly automatically, so it is a pain in the bum. I mainly got the olloclip for the macro function.

Basically, the lens clips on to the iPhone and cover the camera and is a 3-in-1 lens with a Wide angle, fish-eye and macro!

It's pretty small so doesn't take up much room in my handbag.

Edited to Add: The worst thing about the olloclip? You can't use it when you have a cover on the phone. It's going to be pretty annoying to have to take the cover off every time I want to use it!

It also takes a little bit to get the hang of using the macro lens SO close to the subject. It has to be practically touching.

Woohooo! I love it!!!! What other awesome technological stuff is out there that I don't know about yet??

Sorry that this post is so picture heavy, I was bored. Sometimes I wish I had a super awesome camera to take super awesome photos with, but I am no photographer so that would be pointless I guess.

iPhone Pics

It's that time of the week. Time to spam ya'll with my recent iPhone pics.

I'm slowly embracing winter hats. Why wouldn't I? They keep me so toasty.
At work last week I got called into one of the partners office, and on the way was trying to think what I had done wrong recently, or at least, what had they found out that I had done wrong?

It turns out they just wanted to thank me for working so hard the last 2 months and staying back after work in neccersary. The other PA was on long service leave so I was picking up her work. They gave me a $500 Myer voucher which I was surprised by! They obviously didn't need to, since I was just doing my job but it is nice to be appreciated

Anyway, I bought 2 new Hi There by Karen Walker dresses, and am trying to decide what else to buy. The above pic is one of the dress prints.
This dress was my Nannas, and it is beyond cute on. I can't wait to wear it and share it with you all. Our Aunty originally gave it to my sister Jo as her wardrobe is pretty much pure vintage, but I loved it so much that Jo gave it to me. I'm greatful that we are both small enough to wear Nannas clothing!

Thomas is loving life, sitting on his big boy table and chair.

In a few weeks he will be a big brother!!!

Tulips in Geefas office.

So cute. Beyond cute.

This pic is my screen saver on my phone and my phone is currently going thru a craze where it starts to vibrate randomly, which causes the screen to flash up all the time so I'm always looking at this cutie.

On the iPhone front, my 'silent' option has also died. So annoying but I am trying to hold out until they release the iPhone 5 before getting a new phone.

Nom Nom Nom

Loved this Leona Edmiston dress, but was not paying $435 (I think that's the price) for a dress that I have no occasion for.

The only occasion I could think of was a romantic dinner on our honeymoon, and pairing it with sandals. Meh.

OPI - Isn't that precious?

This is one of those annoying polishes where 4 coats still is not opaque and you can see the line where your skin ends behind the nail.

What? A girls got to eat.

What the cupcake once looked like.

Happy weekend yo!

Weekly iPhone Photo Wrap Up

Okay this first one was sent to my email, which can be accessed via my iPhone so it still makes the cut.

Hiiiiiii. I'm the cutest baby ever.
Mum gifted me this cookbook, which she has been using probably since before I was born.
It keeps it old school, and that's how I like to roll.

Fruit Loops

Has anyone else noticed that Babybel cheese has changed? Not for the better either.

The taste is not what I remember.

I went out for coffee with Greg of both Morning MC & Excuse to Begin fame last night. I was at the gym, sweating it out with hair oily enough to fry an egg on when he rang. He was sporting this man bag.

He also had on one of Geefas old suit jackets.

Today I am wearing this purple silk skirt that I had made in Thailand. I might do an outfit post later. Perhaps. Time will tell.

Who is Craig? Oh, you mean Greg?

I never order coffee so I don't have the pleasure of having my name mistaken for something else.

I do however often get called Anne-Marie. That is annoying.

iPhone Photos 29/4/11

Here are some photos I took yesterday on my iPhone using Instagram.

I am going out in an hour, yet am sitting here, with dirty hair. I need to get in the shower but prefer to procrastinate.
