My Experience with Flower Haul

I love flowers, and let's be honest, doesn't every girl? So when the lovely Ellie - owner of Flower Haul - got back to me saying she'd love to send me some flowers*, it's safe to say I was a little (read: very) excited!

Flower Haul is a Burleigh Heads, QLD based company that offers market direct flowers delivered free to your door (or someone elses, of course) on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis. You basically subscribe to receive flowers on whichever basis suits you - but don't worry, because they're totally flexible and you can cancel and restart your subscription again at any time! Prices start at just $39, which is a pretty great deal if you ask me.

So let me tell you about my experience with Flower Haul! The flowers were picked on Wednesday morning and arrived on my doorstep at around 2pm the same day by courier. They come packaged in a simple cardboard box with the company name on them. I was super excited when I saw the box outside, and rushed out to pick it up and bring them out back and open them!

The real excitement comes once you open up that box and see what's inside. The flowers are packaged beautifully, wrapped in brown paper with a Flower Haul sticker, and tied with rope to the box for stability. Really great effort on Flower Haul's behalf to ensure that your flowers will arrive in perfect condition!

Something I love about Flower Haul is that you can choose to receive a specific type or style of flowers, or opt for a 'Surprise' bunch! When Ellie asked me if I had a preference with the flowers, I simply said that I love white, and next thing I received this gorgeous bunch of freshly picked-that-day white chrysanthemums*!

At the moment, Flower Haul delivers within South-East Queensland around the Brisbane, Gold Coast, Tweed Head and Sunshine Coast areas, however they're always adding new delivery areas to the mix!

If you're interested in checking out Flower Haul and even ordering some beautiful, fresh flowers for yourself (or a special someone) then I'd highly recommend them - I even have a special discount code for you to use to receive 10% off on your first order (you're welcome;) ), it's CL10.

Pretty Playsuit | OOTD 13.12.15

My Outfit:

Floral Playsuit - ICE

Strappy Sandals - Kmart

Wow, it's been a while since I posted an outfit of the day on here for you guys! Today's ootd is super simple, a playsuit and some strappy sandals. I love throwing a playsuit on whenever I head into the city or somewhere that I'd like to be a little more dressy for, but don't feel like (or have the time to!) put together a complete outfit. Effortless fashion, I like it!

This playsuit is from one of the cheaper fast fashion stores here in Australia, ICE Design, so I was super impressed to find it there - and it only cost me $30! Unfortunately, I actually purchased this one in Winter of 2014 and it's been out of stock since about then, but this style of playsuit seems to be quite popular as the chain continues to bring out very similar pieces (and a mix of short, strappy and long sleeves) so if you're interested I'd definitely recommend checking your local store - don't be discouraged by the online range, I find that the online pieces differ so widely from the in store selections that you may as well be shopping at two different stores!

And of course, you can never go wrong with the cheap & comfy Kmart sandals. I always pick up a pair over summer as it's pretty much the only time I wear them and I can't justify spending more than $7-$12 on shoes I rarely put on! They actually last pretty well though, this is still last years pair! You'd never know :P

What do you think of this simple ootd? Let me know in the comments below!
