Alright ladies… we have another awesome giveaway today! One lucky winner will receive a DownEast Swimwear top and bottom of their choice!!! Leave a comment by midnight on Wednesday the 12th telling us what your favorite swimsuit is! YAY for giveaways!
Review: I got the Riviera Tank with the Waikiki Bikini bottoms and let me just say that I LOVE the colors of the Riviera Tank (Taffy Strips) It is so fun and colorful! I love the ruffle detailing on the bust line and the material is surprisingly thick. (You know how sometimes you can see the outline of someones belly button when they are wearing a swimsuit? Well, I don’t think that could happen in these suits because the material is double layered). Unfortunately my bust was too big for a size small… so I just sent it back and am getting a large! So… be aware, order big (if you are big busted). I do have to say that I had a hard time picking which swimsuit to review because DownEast has SO many cute ones this year! Happy looking, and good luck! Oh… and if you really want a suit I would suggest buying one ASAP because last year DownEast had a suit I wanted and it sold out too fast for me to get it… boo!
Congratulations Kacey! Please email me with your skirt or top size and your address! And thanks to everyone who entered and a huge thanks to DownEast Basics for hosting such a great giveaway!
YAY! Time for another DownEast Giveaway! For this giveaway you get to choose your favorite DownEast item from the New Arrivals section!
Just go on over to DownEast Basics, pick out your favorite item (in the new arrivals)
Leave a comment telling us what your favorite item was by Wednesday April 14th at midnight
A winner will be announced Thursday… simple.
However, this giveaway is only open for people who have not won a DownEast Basics giveaway on Sensibly Styled in the last 90 days. Alright, good luck! (and I must say I will be jealous of whoever wins! DownEast has so many cute things right now. I LOVE the whole look of the girl in the pink cardigan and flowered skirt above, and that yellow striped pencil skirt is to die for!)
Review: I reviewed the Corsage Top and I really like it. It is super light and has a great flow which is great for Spring and Summer! I have been in need of a simple but dressy white top and this was it. Not only did it meet the requirements that I wanted for a white/simple/dressy top, but the corsage part just gives it enough character to make it unique. In the picture on DownEast’s site you can’t see the whole top because it is tucked into a skirt (just like the picture of me in it…) but just so you know, it is smocked at the bottom. I’m not a huge fan of smocked tops, however, it makes it nice for tucking into a skirt… I wore it today and it was very comfortable and it completed my look!
Congratulations Marci! Please email me with your dress size and address! And thank you to everyone who participated in this giveaway! And a HUGE thanks to Shabby Apple for being so generous!

Hey guys! We are having another DownEast Giveaway! YAY! All you have to do is go on over to DownEast Basics 28 day style guide and pick out your favorite item! Then leave a comment by Wednesday February 17th by midnight telling us which item you wish to win. Then on Thursday TWO winners will be announced. That’s right, TWO winners!!!
And a quick review on the He Loves Me Dress, I LOVE it! And the inside is lined with a silky fabric which is awesome for a couple reasons. One, it makes it so you don’t have to wear a slip. And two, it’s great because it makes it so the dress isn’t see through. (Which happens pretty often with white dresses!)
I also got the Heart Throb shorts because I was in desperate need of a new pair of shorts. And they are great! I am short, so they are pretty long on me (they are more of a short capri) but that is great news for those of you who are tall! I love the wash on them, and they are super comfy!
Woohoo! Another giveaway! So, we are going to do another FUN giveaway like the one from here. So… You get to pick the DownEast item that you would like to win (out of the three pictured below) and make an outfit including that item, email it to me by Thursday January 28th, and on Monday February 1st, the voting polls will be up! I can’t wait to see what you come up with! If you don’t have Photoshop or another program to make your outfit with, use polyvore (simple, easy and free to use), or email me the links! Whoever’s outfit gets the most votes, wins the item they chose! (And yes, you can use whatever means you want to get votes, posting your outfit on Facebook, blog, or wherever else! But it will only allow one vote per computer!) Good Luck Ladies!
I am lucky enough to own all three of these items and I love them all, I’m wearing the longitude cardigan right now and it is so comfy! I got it on Monday and think I have worn it around the house everyday since! And this lost in love dress… well I LOVE it! I think the cut, the fabrics and the color choices are amazing! I obviously chose the navy color… because for some reason I am really into navy. And this adorable tulle flower headband… I got it in black, and again, have worn it several times since getting it, and it’s only been a week! So ladies, do your magic. Make me an outfit!
(In the picture of me above I am also wearing tights from We Love Colors (I’m just now realizing I probably should have worn a different color…)and my shoes are Crocs!)
So, if you’re like me, what you need for the holidays is the perfect piece to add to your wardrobe. Something that works with what you already have. Something that is easy to wear, but looks festive and put together.
Seriously, DownEast Basics’ Reunited Top is the answer to all of our prayers. I have had my eye on this top for a while, and am so glad that I have it. I have the top in black, and all of these outfit ideas are built around the black top.
I think you need one.
Need proof? You need this top if you fit into any of these categories:
clockwise starting at the top left
1. you have a satiny or sparkly number that would be perfect for a Holiday party, if only you had the right top to make it more modest/winter appropriate/formal/etc. (wear the sparkly top underneath the Reunited Top with some skinny jeans or black cigarette pants and bright heels)
2. you’ve been working up the guts to try a fun headpiece and want to keep the rest of the outfit on the simple side. (I love this cute headband, and with the Reunited Top, your favorite patterned skirt, cute black heels, and some red lipstick…you’ll have the headpiece trend mastered)
3. you have a fun dress that you want to give new life to. (Look in your closet, say you have something that you used to just LOVE, but you’ve worn it to a bunch of events and it’s feeling a little overdone. Wear it underneath the Reunited Top and you’ve got yourself an entirely different look.)
4. you have a statement necklace that you adore, but struggle with how to make it look statement-ish without being ostentatious. (I struggle with this all the time. I’m not an everyday jewelry wearer, so when I wear something, I want to make a statement. A bold statement, but not a LOUD statement. Here’s my solution: pair your favorite necklace with the Reunited Top, a pencil skirt, and some heels. The top is fancy enough to hold it’s own against the necklace, and it has the perfect neckline to put your favorite necklace on display)
5. you have a dang cute pair of heels that you want to build an outfit around, but keep the heels as the star of the show. (go in your closet and find your favorite black skirt, a camisole to layer underneath the Reunited Top, put on some bright colored tights, and kick up those heels!)
And for me… (Natalie) this sweater is just beautiful and perfect for any holiday occasion, or any occasion for that matter. I am so happy with it. The only thing that I wish was a little different… on the DownEast site it says this is 3/4 sleeves, on me… it’s more like 7/8 sleeves, so I would order a size smaller than normal if you want the sleeves to be fitted. But seriously, I think this cardigan is perfect (even if the sleeves are long on me). I wore it to my husbands work party last night, and was glad I did!
But enough about us… what do you want from DownEast for Christmas?!!?! Go on over to their site and pick out one item that is on your wishlist… leave a comment telling us what it is and we will announce the winner on Tuesday morning! Merry Christmas!

The ladies over at What’s your virtue? sent me a set of their Lip Bliss lip gloss line to review… and let me tell you. they. rock. hard. I was going to wait a few days to post the giveaway so I could try all the lip glosses. Well, I loved them so much I wore a different color about every two hours yesterday because I just couldn’t wait to try them all! All of them feel very refreshing on my lips, as well as very moisturizing (Which I have felt is a down fall of most lip glosses… they usually make my lips feel dry after wards). I really like all of them, the only one that didn’t go with my very pail skin tone was the ‘generosity’ (however, it was still a very pretty shade, just not for me!) But other than that my favs were the ‘kindness’ and ‘simplicity’ tying for first place. And ‘curiosity’ in a close second. Their tag line is this: What’s your virtue? And they came up with this lip line because they “want to remind all women of the simple and virtuous things in life. What better place to start than on your lips?” Amen!
Hello ladies! We have a fun giveaway today! The lovely gals over at What’s your virtue are offering up a set of 6 lip glosses for the lucky winner (a $72.00 value… woot!). I can’t imagine a better accessory for your outfits this fall! All you have to do is leave a comment by Friday the 25th at midnight! So easy! And if you don’t win… no worries! They are also offering 15% off, all you have to do is enter the code natalie15 at check out. ENJOY!
Thank you Sara, Amy and Molly!
Congratulations Emily W! We will contact you for your shipping information.
THANKS EVERYONE FOR ENTERING THE GIVEAWAY! HOPEFULLY WE CAN HAVE MORE GIVEAWAYS IN THE FUTURE!!! AND A BIG THANKS TO DOWNEAST BASICS FOR DOING THIS WONDERFUL GIVEAWAY!!!
Hello ladies! Welcome to our first ever giveaway! Thanks to DownEast Basics, Ashley and I each got a dress to try for ourselves. And let me tell you, we love them! I wore mine to church yesterday and I got so many compliments… I was even able to nurse my baby in it, AND… it’s super light weight which makes it a perfect dress for sunny days!
(Okay, so don’t make fun, Zach and I were having fun with our photo shoot this time. Hence my “model pose” and my super goofy picture I’m sharing with you guys. Zach was egging me on… I promise. P.S. Ashley is (the super cute blonde) on the left. And I (Natalie) am on the right.)
Alright, HOW TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY:
Leave a comment before Wednesday at 11:59pm.
THAT’S IT!!! We will announce the winner on Thursday! Then we will contact the winner for shipping information and DownEast Basics will send you your very own dress! YEYAH!
UPDATE: Ashley’s thoughts on the dress: I just love this bright, fun dress!! (Yellow and ruffles are two of my favorite things to wear!) You are sure to stand out in this one!!
Also, this dress is not very tight, so everyone should feel comfortable and cute wearing it!
