DownEast Basics {Review and Giveaway}

March 3, 2010

A Nut in a Nutshell
How would I describe DownEast Basics? Smart, trendy, fun, and affordable!

Take for instance, these darling accessories I just had the chance to review.

Can you dig this sassy trendsetter tote? Oh, how I love thee. I have it in purple and it's nice and roomy and so cool looking. Fun, fun, fun! Priced at just $26.99, it fits most any budget too.




I also have this leaf necklace. How much fun are all those layers of brass leaves? Well, I don't really know, because my daughter stole it immediately upon its arrival. Priced at a mere $14.99, I can probably get one of my own though!

A Nut in a Nutshell


And now DownEast Basics has a whole bunch of fun new arrivals just in time for Spring!

DownEast BasicsDownEast BasicsDownEast BasicsDownEast Basics

What I love the most is that everything is so pretty and feminine and stylish. Plus, you can easily afford to buy a few updated pieces each season to freshen up your wardrobe without breaking the bank.

I was so pleased with the fun accessories that I received, that I am happy to say that I'll actually be shopping here from now on. I have my eye on a few pieces already from the coming soon section!
