Giveaway! Slammin' Outfit From DownEast Basics!
I have recently been blessed to wear one of the most chic happy outfits that I think I have ever worn. Really. I like it that much.
DownEast Basics hooked me up with this lovely ensemble for the Type-A Mom conference…
Turning Colors Skirt with the Bleaker Street Blazer, Wonder Tee, and an amazingly beautiful necklace that seems to be missing from the website (sniff sniff).
Incidentally, they also threw in this very hip Metro Messenger Bag, that I happen to use for my laptop (I got it in green)…
Ya’ll, this giveaway is just so fantastic I can hardly stand it!!!
The same slammin’ outfit that I wore can be yours!

If I had to choose one thing…I really think the Serendipity Dress is so cute!
I dont have a blog but I did leave a comment about it on facebook!
I love all of their stuff; but I think my most fav was the mod & marvelous skirt! Soo stinkin cute! Thanks for the giveaway!!
Now Ladies, you all have to realize, these clothes are being worn by a BEAUTIFUL young Lady, (that happens to look just like her father), but nonetheless, will still look stunning on all of you. I am so proud of my Daughter, and all she is doing…raising her kids, (MY Grand-children), taking care of my great Son in Law, (Jesse, you owe me for that one), and somehow managing to do this web site, all the while only knowing how to type seven words per minute!
Sarah Mae, you are the perfect kid.
I love you.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad! *blush, blush* You are the best…how did I ever get so darn *lucky* to end up with your for a father?! :D :D :D
Now come visit me.
I'm holding your camera ransom.
I love all their skirts! Turning Colors Skirt is my favorite, I like all the ones with "petticoats". great prices too.

Okay that was tough! I like most all the skirts but probably the "Feelin' Fall Skirt" stood out to me. Thanks for sharing this site. I think I could easily find several things I would like!
As what to learn from a blogging conference, the best way to transition from a weekly email to a regular blog. Over the past 2+ years I have been "blogging" to a specific audience in that I email them the weekly decorating tips. I would really like to transition to a blog but am intimidated because I want it to be the same level of presentation as my weekly email but am unsure how to get there. I have contacted so many asking for help but with not much success. Would love advice!
Oh…I fell in love with the "Fall in Love skirt!" How cute it is!

I like the Do or Tie top.
.-= natalyn ´s last blog post … photog challenge, day 5. =-.
I guess one thing I would really like to learn about is HTML and coding, so I can make my posts look super pretty and such like a lot of the blogs I read. My blog definitely does not look like that.

I LOVE the Serendipity dress-so cute!
I would love to learn how to balance blogging with the demands and joys of being a Godly wife, mother,and friend.
I LOVE the postcard dress and the rock star jeans! I just LOVE downeast basics so much! ha ha
I LOVE Down East! What a cute outfit you picked out, by the way! I love how they do the extra layering of fabric with their skirts. :)

Okay, so I loveLOVElove all their skirts and dresses, but I just recently tried on their "Love and Linger" top, and WOW. It is super cute. It is really simple, but it's way flattering. I like the silvery color best.
.-= Kari´s last blog post … Sometimes I wish… =-.
Topics for a blog conference??? Hmmmmm….maybe creative writing tips? Or design ideas?
.-= Kari´s last blog post … Sometimes I wish… =-.
I love love love all of downeast basic clothes, but since its fall, I think my favorite things are the skirts, in particular, the out and about skirt, because you can wear it anywhere!
If I were attending a blogging conference, I would love to learn about new background designs and what new techniques people were using, I think blogs have such a potential to be creative, thought I know I would love to learn some new DIY tricks!
I also facebook'd this giveaway :-)

Tough to decide on a favorite….I'm going to say the Tuxedo top – looks easy to wear during the week with jeans.
Any of the skirts I love all of their designs!!!
I have a hard time picking one fave from the DownEast line, but because it seems to be VERY unique I have to choose the undershirts and camisoles in little girls sizes! My daughter has been wearing their brand for about 3 years now, and it makes so many of the adorable little girl shirts that are tank tops, or not very long, way more modest. That way if I get a great deal from an online children's clothing site (or a great local sale) and the shirt isn't something I would let her wear on her own, I can still buy it and it'll look great paired with a DownEast undershirt!
Extra #1: I would love to learn about how Mom bloggers best budget their time for their blog AND keeping their family roles (providers, children, housekeeping, etc) in focus. I think I could be a great blogger….IF that is all I did. I have a hard time balancing much more into my life beyond kids, and their homework, and their activities, etc.

I love love love Downeast! My fav right now is the Wonderful World Dress.
Tweet! http://twitter.com/CherryBlossBaby/status/4516641…
I posted about this on my facebook {Rob n' Ki Smith}
I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything Down East sells. Love the shirts. I just purchased the "Hip to Be Square" top and it's my new fav. So fun to wear with jeans or with a skirt.
I would love to learn more about writing and how to make it interested and not just the same thing over and over again.
Just posted the contest as a status update!!!!
I have had my eye on several items from DownEast basic's website but have a new baby and my money goes to her most times, maybe most mothers can relate to that. I love the Do or Tie Top in Deep Taupe color. It is a very classy shirt that you could wear with either jeans or slacks or a skirt. I do love the skirt you are wearing.
Hummm blog? 1. I would like to learn effective ways to teach my lil' angel about God when she is old enough to learn. 2. Also how to entertain my baby as she develops and fun activities to do with her in the house during the cold and snowy months to come. 3. Recipe blog 4. Green living. Love the giveaway! Hope to see some cool blogs. Happy Autumn! I love the beauty of the seasons changing.
I love DownEast! They have so many cute things but I have to fall back on my old staples as my favorites. In the summer I wear a Wonder Crew nearly every day and now that it is starting to get chilly I'm busting out my Long Sleeve Tees. I think they have a fabulous design team and are doing a great service to women everywhere!

I love pretty much everything, but my faves are the Curtsy Coat, Floral Fixation Skirt and the rock star jeans!!
From a blog conference on religion, I would want to learn how to balance blogging and real life… and how to blog about religion without being pushy. Maybe also about blog safety–my blog is private, but I kind of want a public one if I knew more about how to keep it safe.
I tweeted! http://twitter.com/traydmarhk/statuses/4517127398
fall in love skirt is a beauty
.-= damaris´s last blog post … I'm not doing my kegles excercises…and other things that fall through the crack. =-.

Happy October!!
I really want to try their rock star jeans – - I've been a dwoneast fan for years!!

Entry #2: I would also loooove to learn about getting a blog started if I went to a conference! I would really love to start one but it's hard to know where to begin. Thanks! :-)
I love the clothes! And since I am having baby #4 in a couple of weeks I will be all about the layering option! So my fave's are the Bleaker Street Blazer, the Navy Short sleeve cardigan and ad the Wonder Tee – oh how I love a long Tee!
