twas 3 days until christmas…

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

…and I’m nearly ready.

The tree is up, the cookies for the neighbors are made, and the presents are {almost all} bought and wrapped. The computer has been off, projects put on hold (I promise to be back in a week!), and the family festivities have already begun.

I hope this time of year is a meaningful, relaxing and joyful time for you and your family. I want to thank you, my readers and clients and casual visitors,  for making 2011 such a pleasant and successful year for me. I love my job and the amazing people I meet through this little blog of mine. I have some fun things planned for the new year…

PS. Before I sign off for a few days and go drink more eggnog I wanted to share some exciting news. See that little brown button over there?

> > > > > > > >

Yes, that one. Im thrilled and honored to be a part of Blissdom 2012 as a Community Leader! Are you going??

dress up…or down…with downeast basics

By Nicole · Comments (0)
Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

I wouldn’t consider myself a fashionista, but I do love me some clothes. I always have. I still love lounging around in my stretch pants I must admit, but since working at home doesn’t require me to dress up (…or…get dressed at all, truth be told…), I look forward to days that I get to put on a little somethin’ somethin’. I like to feel pretty…who doesnt?

You know from before, that I’ve just recently discovered the DownEast Basics line. There is a new store here in Tucson (albeit on the other side of the world from me, 45 minutes away), at the Tucson Mall. But the style of clothing they offer is right down my alley. Cute…modest…modern…affordable.

I just recently ordered this online (because its so much easier for me…)

Its the Roundabout Cardi. It comes in Ginger Spice and Kangaroo. I got the Kangaroo…

The thing I love about it is you can dress it up for a night out or holiday party…

…or down for just running around.

(sorry for the fuzzy pictures…it was dusk when I finally got around to taking them)

I love how soft and girly and flowy it is. It retails for $36.99, but its on sale right now for $31.99. Great value, if you ask me.

And right now (as in…ends tomorrow…) there is an in-store sale for 40% off any one piece of clothing. So hurry…go there now!

Oh, where did I get that flower pin I’m wearing? Well, it just so happens I made it and its for sale in my Etsy shop. Thanks for asking!

Happy holiday dress-up!

I received the cardigan I am wearing in exchange for this review post. All opinions, as always, are my own.
