Giveaway! Slammin' Outfit From DownEast Basics!
September 30th, 2009
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!
(in your own size, of course!)

I better get in on this before I forget! :) I really love the Closer Look Cardigan (although they have a TON of cute stuff, that’s just one thing I like). :)

I would like to learn how to share the lessons I learn from my daily bible study.
What I would like to learn from a Blogging conference is how to manage time between home and blogging. How can you build a blog without leaving home for hours a week? How can I make the most of my time as a blogger? Writing great content or writing ok content and promotion? What is the best way to spend my time as a blogger? Does that make sense? What’s the most important thing or 2-3 things a blogger needs to build a great blog?

I’d love to try a pair of their new jeans, and I love all the new skirts! I’ve been eying the skirt you got to try. So fun!

My favorite DownEast item? How do I pick just one? But right now I’m really craving the closer look cardi with the striped turtleneck underneath…top it off with one of their cute scarves!
My favorite is the half sleeve tee. I have one and love it.
I would love how to make my blog into a book. I love using my blog for a scrapbook/journal.
I like the rockstar jeans. I like a lot of their stuff!
I absolutely adore the Cream & Sugar skirt! How cute and sassy would I be wearing that? :)

Oh my word! I am definitely going to be doing some shopping. I love their skirts…especially the one that you had on and the sugar and cream AND the Uptown Cord.

Entry 2 (because I forgot to add it to the previous post)
I’d love to learn how to blog about Christ more and about what a difference He makes in my life AND be able to do it to where lost people would still want to read my blog. Not because I want to be popular, but because I want to be subtle and reach out to people that might not read if they see “oh it’s a Christian blog”. As Christians we have so much joy in our hearts and it’s hard to decide how to talk to our blog audience! Do I not worry about the lost and just speak to my Christian readers or what? Hey – that’s kind of like real life in a way, huh? :)

I, like Holly said above, would love to know how to start a blog. I’ve wanted to for a while now-I just am not sure where to begin…I think its really important to have a clear purpose,so I’ve been thinking and praying about that a lot. I would love to hear advice from you and other Christian women who blog with purpose!
I’m crazy about the skirts from DownEast Basics!! How will I ever choose just one?! I’m going to go with the Cream and Sugar, but the Uptown Cord and Hot to Trot are calling my name as well! Thanks for the opportunity to win :)
Wow – too many hard decisions. :)You look adorable in your skirt, yes, you do. And my daughter is commanding me to put the stuff in the dryer, so I guess balancing family and blogging…important TOPIC!

Well…there is so much to choose from! I defintely can’t live without the camis, almost have all them in a different color. I also fell in love with the belle of the ball top. Such great clothes! Thanks for the free shipping code!
I blogged about it too!

I love the Cream and Sugar Skirt. So cute!
How to write blogs that are interesting for others to read. I have great ideas, but I can’t word them well so that they are provoking!
I Facebooked!
Love the outfit! So hard to choose but I like the Cat Walk Jeans the best.
Regarding a blogging conference. I think it would be great to address “the fear of man”. Maybe something along the lines of what Ed Welch covers in “When People are Big and God is Small.” That is one of the greatest struggles for me in blogging is being too concerned about what others think, to write what I really feel the spirit leading, so then i just don’t blog. I belive it is a common struggle for people and think it would be great to address at a conference, that we should care about what God thinks of what we are writing and not be swayed by the readers. Thanks for your transparent and humble writing. It encourages me and exalts the Savior when you share your sin and His power over it!
I really like the Down East lace tees. I would buy one in every color if I could! ;0)
I love the Feeling Fall skirt!
I would love to learn blogging basics… how to set one up and effectively keep it going.
I totally love the floral fixation skirt!! So adorable!!

Wonderful World Dress was my favorite item. I added their website to my bookmarks and plan to visit their site again soon. I heart them too.
What I would like to learn is more about time management and blogging. I have a family blog but I’d love to have a more serious devotional blog. Okay, I actually do have one but I have never published a single one of my posts because I’m afraid if I start something, I won’t have time to keep it up. Prioritizing it all and knowing when the Lord is leading is very hard for me.
Thanks for doing this contest. Very fun. Very cool.
Wow, what a nice shop! I’m glad you blogged about them, I see so many things I like! Perhaps my favorite is the Cream & Sugar Skirt :)I love those colors! Thanks for this opportunity!

From a blogging conference, I’d like to have a better handle on effective ways to promote my blog without driving people crazy :) I’m hoping to start a blog in the next month and want to write about a variety of things, but my main goal is evangelism. Thanks!

I forgot to write about what I’d like to learn from a blogging conference…I would really like to know more about getting my blog out there! I have a blog for a small hairbow business, but I don’t know what I need to do to get it out there. I would also like to know more about how people balance their time with there children and blogging and everything else we need to get done! I also blogged about the giveaway today! Thanks!
Nicole´s last blog post … Amazing Giveaway
I love the wonderful world dress. Ok, I really love them all, but thought I should just pick one instead of listing everything from the site.
I would love to learn “How” to start a blog. I am fairly isolated where I live (also known as Living in the Sticks). I have found such inspiration from so many blogs. Just thought with a blog that I could repay some of the blessing I have received; just have no idea how.
I really like the long sleeved tuxedo top.
Wow! Those clothes are amazing! Thanks for opening up my eyes to a great site! My fave is the Serendipity Dress… it’s gorgeous!

I would love to learn about what line should be drawn, if any, in Christian blogging.
And I am sooo tweeting this…

I am absolutly in love with the Hip To Be Square Top. I really love the orange color. I need some orange in my wardrobe. I don’t have much of it. I absolutly love downeast basics. I look at it online all the time. I love how modest they are. Its hard to find modest clothing sometimes.
I love the connect the dots dress — but you’re right, there’s so many great choices!!
I am in LOVE with the L’Amour coat in Olive. Every time I have gone into the store I have almost purchased it…I want it so bad!
The hip to be square top or tuxedo top are my favs :)
Thanks!

What a super cute site. I really like the Collegiate sweater and the dresses. The prices are incredible. Thanks for the giveaway.

If I were coming to your conference I would like to learn more about blog design. Other helpful information would be how to connect with others without becoming overwhelmed with all your connections. Good luck planning it.
I LOVE everything on their site!! I absolutely love the Uptown Cord Skirt in Charcoal Grey. It is so versatile and super chic! I would like info/ideas on how to increase blog followers.
You’re right; hard to choose. I am going with the Fall In Love skirt because it looks like it will match the new KikaPaprika top I bought at type-a mom. Fun.
Will definately send my two pregnant daughter’s to check out the site’s maternity section.
Really affordable prices.
To your question about what might be something for your Christian blogging conference. I would say, how to be transparent. Comfortable in your shoes, and with past sins, to share them so others can grow and learn. Also, how to keep the doors open to non-believers: in the world not of it. So we are not so far away our light is visible to only each other. My prior post’s concern is that for many their money can afford only one conference…and if they are not integrated but seperated, then the light is removed (or at least diminished) from TypeA and other similar conferences. Just need to pray through how it would look, and be perceived. Fellowship is wonderful, and our need to equip the saints for the work of the ministry, but when, where, how is still a quandry for me if we tend to add the labels that could possibly divide.
Thanks for sharing a fun Site. Will tweet and post on Facebook both.
I love the Serendipity dress, but the Feelin Fall skirt is a close second :)
Id like to learn more about writing at a conference! How to paint better word pictures as well as how to write more professionally.
