To Whom It May Concern…..

Congrats to #135- Amy!! I will get in touch with you.



Dear DownEast Basics,

I love you.You have cute, fun, affordable, modest clothing and accessories.  You never disappoint.  I look forward to your catalog arriving in my mailbox.  I love searching the shop online.  I’m excited that you teamed up with Modbe for your swim lines.  Thanks for giving me the opportunity to review your amazing products. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next.


Thank you!
Love,
Mique

Dear California,
I love that while it is still raining and snowing across the country, it is bright and beautiful in sunny So Cal.  I can take a little drive to the beach and wear my new suit in the perfect weather.

This time I picked out a few things
from DownEast by Modbe to wear on the beach:

Modbe Knot Top

Banded Bikini in Sea Blue Dot and Set Sail Skirt in brown
Forever your girl,
Mique

DownEast Basics Review and Giveaway

Congrats to Amy #156! Thanks for entering everyone. xoxo

I’ve had the opportunity to work with DownEast Basics several times in the past. I feel fortunate to post about a clothing company that I love. DownEast’s clothes are comfortable, cute and very affordable. I always look forward to getting their catalog in the mail.

If only Angie were around to take fabulous pictures. ;)
For now, this one where Josh is making me laugh after a long day, will have to do.

This time around, I reviewed the May Flowers Dress. It’s a comfortable cotton maxi with a cross over bodice. All that translates to a flattering top and flowly bottom half. It’s springy and would make a great dress for Easter or Mother’s Day.

I also love these two items:

I own the dress from last season (different colors this time around) and I absolutely love it. It is super flattering and ridiculously comfortable. Perfect dress for travel too!

For today’s giveaway, DownEast Basics is offering
One item from the New Arrivals section, anything you want.
This giveaway is restricted to US residents only.

To enter: Leave one comment letting me know what one item will get you most in the mood for spring fashion. You can earn extra entries by doing any or all of the following (please leave a comment stating what you did).

Guess what time it is?

#38- Becca – winner, winner, winner!

Yep. DownEast Basics review time. Woo hoo! Hopefully you’re not tired of me talking about DownEast. By now you know that I love their cute dresses, swear by their camis and tees and everything in between. Not only are they adorable but soooo affordable.

This time I got the Two to Tango dress:

Again, it fits well and is flattering to a curvy body shape like mine. The length is right. The color combo fun and I think it would look perfect with a cardigan and my dream pair of boots (or these ones? Frye boots lovers- pipe up..which ones do you love?)


Here are a few new arrivals that caught my eye.

I have two jackets from last year’s DownEast collection that are my go- to jackets and these ones look just as cute. Cardigan, shirt, skirt- really you can’t go wrong.

What (usually) comes with a DownEast review? A DownEast Basics giveaway!
Up for grabs? One item of your choice from the new arrivals section on the DownEast site.
Note: if you have won a DownEast giveaway in the last 90days, you are ineligible. Sorry!
