The Website!

www.buyinvite.com.au is another 'members only' sales website. While they have fewer sales than BransExclusive, their shipping time is generally faster and the discounts do tend to be greater. Once again they have a great variety of products and brands on sales. women's, mens and kids clothing, home wares, technology, accessories, shoes, makeup etc. They add new sales everyday and each sales event usually lasts a few days to a week. The savings can be huge up to about 80% off.

I have never had a problem with this service, I always receive all the items I ordered in perfect condition within a couple of weeks. The website is very easy to use. Shipping is $9.00 for the majority of sale events, although it would obviously be more for larger items.

Items are bubble wrapped and shipped in a specially marked box. Makeup items always have 'fragile' stickers on them.

They ship through Australia Post and signature is required on delivery. There are a limited number of memberships available and once the maximum is reached, membership will be by invite only.
BuyInvite is part of the APAC sales group and has sister sites in New Zealand (nzsale.co.nz) Singapore (singsale.com.sg) and Malaysia (mysale.my).

Spring fashion haul 2012!!

Spring is upon us!!! Usually I'm overly excited for the sunny season to begin but this year it kind of snuck up on me. I can't believe it is September already!
I didn't realise spring was coming until I woke up yesterday and realised it was September 1st! So I thought I had better do a bit of shopping, it's forecast to be warm the next two days so I'll need something to wear!!

The thing I love most about Spring/summer fashion is the pastel colours! They are so feminine and pretty, they remind me of candy and ice-creams!! I instantly feel more positive when I start to see those colours in stores.

This spring/summer has brought pastels, neons, high-low hemlines and sheer lace. So heres a few things I bought this weekend to get me started.

First off Cotton On had reduced all it's sale stock to $10 and under. They had a huge variety on sale, including some new season items! I'm not sure how long the sale is on, but if you head in soon you might still catch it!!

• Sheer pink singlet top, high-low hem ($10)

•  Sheer yellow tank top with white scallop collar  ($10)

•  Mid-length white lace skirt ($10)

•  Blue/grey and white shirt dress with high-low hem ($10)

•  Tab and purple slouch bag ($10 with any purchase)

I also picked up a couple of things from Factorie.

• pastel pink/green with purple skirt skater style dress ($24.95)

• Sheer multi coloured shirt dress with high-low hem ($39.95 with $20 off = $19.95)

Last but certainly not least, my absolute favourite accessories store, Colette by Colette Hayman. Right now they have 50% of ALL jewellery for members, and it's free to join! I have had my eye on a few pieces there for a couple of weeks now, so I went a little crazy!

• Pink belt with bow detail RRP$9.95
• Set of 5 gold and pastel bracelets RRP$8.95
• Pink and gold Aztec inspired statement necklace RRP$15.95
• Gold and pastel 'pieces' necklace RRP$15.95
• Set of 7 gold and coloured rings RRP$9.95
• Set 6 pairs of pastel earrings RRP$9.95

All 50% off. 

Now all we need is for the sun to come out and daylight savings to start and we'll be away!! Although, given I live in Melbourne, I don't like my chances!!

Until next time :) xx
