After washing and wearing the ZARA tank top from OZSALE a number of times now I can see how practical and great it is! It washes and wears really well, doesn't need to be ironed which I love as I dislike ironing and am time pressed most days. Feels really comfortable on, fits well and is true to its sizing. Mines a medium which is a perfect fit, their size guide chart was spot on! It's style is flattering and its length sits well with shorts or jeans as it covers the tummy helping hide those unwanted bumps. On super hot days it feels cool against skin and doesn't trap the heat. Really pleased with this tank top as the design around the arms and back also flatters and sits nicely. Great practical top that looks nice worn casually or dressed up. Knowing that OZSALE stock great value and practical items that are perfect to use for the everyday, have reliable postal delivery and prices I will definitely be keeping watch on their site!

I was not selected for the OZSALE review of the zara top but thought I would pop online and buy one myself... I did and it was affordable, the top is really comfy and the order came through very fast. I would definitely buy more from ozsale although I might have to steer clear of the site for a while as there is SO much I want to buy lol! Highly Recommended x

I am very happy with my new top. I would say this is one of the most comfortable singlets that I have worn it is also very fashionable and the fabric is so breathable. I ordered the size medium and I found its to be very suitable to my body shape it fits snug in all the right places and it is a really good length for wearing a skirt or pants I have washed it twice now and I have had no problems with it shrinking I also did not need to iron it. I would recommend it to my friends. will order again!

This top is great. It is a very comfortable fabric, washes easily and doesn't necessarily need ironing. Made of a lightweight fabric it lets your skin breathe and doesn't make you feel hot when wearing it. I received the top on friday and have worn it 4 times all with different pants- its very easily matched. Washed it 4 times as well and have had no problems with it at all.

I was so excited when I found that Zara was coming to Australia. Whilst I wasn't first in line and never joined the queue, I was in there pretty quickly. Having seen the quality and the amazing designs overseas for such a low price I thought we were in for a treat. I don't think they have such a great range in Australia and it's a little more expensive than I remember.

I loved this top when I saw the review come up, but sadly knew there was no chance it would fit me. Whn Christmas rolled round, I thought of it for my niece. Now I could not get the same top, but they had some quite nice clothing, so I selected a couple of items. The dress I picked and one of the shirts were ok - not quite how they looked in the pictures, but ok.
The second top I received was nothing like what I ordered, and the wrong size. I contacted them and was told at first as there was nothing wrong with it I could not get a refund. After going around in circles a fair bit, I finally got them to take it back and to send me the correct order.
When it arrived, a week after christmas, it was again the wrong size, and torn across the sleeve and dirty. I am still trying to get a refund, so sorry, I would not recommend Ozsale.

Truthfully, I haven't tried this top. I have, however, bought other things from Ozsale. The site is easy to navigate, and they respond very quickly to queries. I have generally found the things I've bought to be of good quality. Shipping times can sometimes be painfully long, but they usually warn you about this. And you may be able to find similar things at a reduced rate elsewhere, but not usually cheaper. Just equivalent. Not a favourite site, but one that has earned repeat business from me.

I just wanted to post a better photo of how I received my top with a hole in the neckline area. My views have not changed since first reviewing this and I think it is not a quality top. Now I can't seem to to the picture resizer to work to upload a photo, but really wanted to put a better pic on.

I have already reviewed this but since it has been a month and I have finally received all the items that I ordered as well as washed this shirt a number of times, I am back to give a 2nd review. The top was itchy at first so before wear I washed it and the itchiness was gone. The top was girly but I though it was really cute, fit well even though I normally wear a large and this is a medium.
Oz sale was quick to respond when I had a question about a delivery, and there site keeps you informed of where you item is, though when ordering I would like to know where the item is shipping from before purchasing.
I will be purchasing from in the future and highly recommend them though some items you might have to wait a month to receive.

It is a great item so comfortable to wear. it washes just great so soft to the touch. Would recommend it to any one who would like a comfortable top to wear. it just fits right has a good length. Doesn't ride up your back you can wear it at full length or hitch it a bit to sit different.

I loved this top when i first saw it. Light, flowly and feminine, it's great to wear everyday or to a special occassion. I love the Zara brand and although it can be a bit pricey, i do think it's worth shopping around and seeing ig you can get a bargain from an online retailer. :-)

I have found the top cool and light to wear which makes the it perfect for Summer. The colours were bright and the pattern quite distinctive, it went well with my jeans and pretty much with everything. I like that it was a little bit different and not something every second person was wearing. It was a little small for its size, which might be a problem for some but was great for me as I often have trouble getting a good fit as I am very slim. It was east to care for - a quick hand wash in cold water, rinse, and out on the line to dry, no ironing needed and come sup good as new! P.S. I'd love the idea of being able to buy Zara through Ozsale and saving some time and money.

First time I wore this top I had lots of compliments. It fits well, hangs perfectly on the body, and even though it is a casual top, the bow adds a stylish touch. Will be wearing this with jeans or shorts and some summer sandals. First Zara clothing item I've owned, and I will definitely look at purchasing similar items in the future.

I purchased this myself and found it to be quite small in the sizing. Also I received one which already had a hole in the back at the neck area. I took a photo of the hole against a dark surface so you can see the hole, though can't get photos off camera at present, so have had to take a snapshot with the computer of the pic on the camera viewer, hence very blurred. The fabric I found quite rough against the skin and so was too uncomfortable to wear. I am not very fond at all of this product and would not recommend it.

I wouldn't be going out of my way to buy this garment
I received the top a little later than others it seems and then wasn't at home when delivered, so had to find time to go to the post office to collect it. So, apologies for the tardiness of this review.
Sorry Zara, I don't particularly enjoy giving negative feedback, but I didn't find the top particularly comfortable. Actually, the one feature which is the one that would really stop me from buying the top is that it is quite scratchy/itchy on the skin. My 5yr old son noticed and commented that I was wearing a new top, so I asked his opinion of it. He said he liked it, and I asked him what he liked about it and he said the stars. I think, aesthetically, it's quite a pleasing design to the eye, however I think the bow might have been an after thought, and I can see without it, it might have been quite a plain design. So, I 'might' wear it again, it will be interesting to see if the scratchiness goes away after a washing, but I wouldn't be seeking this top out to purchase it. My opinion only! Again, apologies to Zara, however I'm stating my opinion, my truth.
Thanks for choosing me to review though! (it was my first)

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

Each bag comes with an ice pack for up to eight hours of cooling – and you have a massive range of designs to choose from.

Pop it straight into the dishwasher on the top rack for easy cleaning.

If your little (or not-so-little) one wants a lunch bag everyone will comment on, this is it. Available in a range of stunning designs, they come with a long and strong handle and easy-use zippers. But good looks aside, what’s winning heart about these is their capacity – they hold up to seven litres of food!
After something a bit more mature? Bentgo’s Modern lunch boxes are a great option. They have a sleek matte finish in a choice of four stylish shades, including Mint Green, Orchid, Dark Grey and Navy. Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments. Even better, they are leak-proof, microwave-safe and fine to pop in the dishwasher.
Colourful and easy to carry, these bags are insulated, eco-friendly and secure.

Practical and customisable with your child’s name, these insulated bags tick all the boxes.

Each comes with a mesh pocket for ice bricks, a top carry handle, a secure zip closure and enough internal space to fit a medium bento box.
Pros:
Machine-washable
Internal mesh pocket for an ice brick
With their name on it, you won’t need to visit lost property!
With a leak-proof silicone seal, these colourful lunch companions keep sauces and dips right where they belong. They come with six compartments, which convert to three for easy washing on the top shelf of the dishwasher. They’re free from any nasties and customisation with your child’s name – no more lost property, yay! Choose from box colours of Matte Navy, Pink Lemonade, Dusky Blue or Seafoam Green- if you can!
Uber stylish and as roomy as can be, these contemporary bags are perfect for kids of all ages who prefer to pack several separate containers.

Stylish design, great for kids who prefer muted shades
Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place! Designed out of necessity by a problem-solving mum, the OmieBox encourages low-waste lunches and ends the need to use multiple clunky containers (which always get lost!). The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus

That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.
I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

Chrissy present gone bad
The second top I received was nothing like what I ordered, and the wrong size. I contacted them and was told at first as there was nothing wrong with it I could not get a refund. After going around in circles a fair bit, I finally got them to take it back and to send me the correct order.
When it arrived, a week after christmas, it was again the wrong size, and torn across the sleeve and dirty. I am still trying to get a refund, so sorry, I would not recommend Ozsale.

My 2nd review
Oz sale was quick to respond when I had a question about a delivery, and there site keeps you informed of where you item is, though when ordering I would like to know where the item is shipping from before purchasing.
I will be purchasing from in the future and highly recommend them though some items you might have to wait a month to receive.

I wouldn't be going out of my way to buy this garment
Sorry Zara, I don't particularly enjoy giving negative feedback, but I didn't find the top particularly comfortable. Actually, the one feature which is the one that would really stop me from buying the top is that it is quite scratchy/itchy on the skin. My 5yr old son noticed and commented that I was wearing a new top, so I asked his opinion of it. He said he liked it, and I asked him what he liked about it and he said the stars. I think, aesthetically, it's quite a pleasing design to the eye, however I think the bow might have been an after thought, and I can see without it, it might have been quite a plain design. So, I 'might' wear it again, it will be interesting to see if the scratchiness goes away after a washing, but I wouldn't be seeking this top out to purchase it. My opinion only! Again, apologies to Zara, however I'm stating my opinion, my truth.
Thanks for choosing me to review though! (it was my first)
