A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to receive an invite to the Blog Mixer at our local Down East Basics store. It was my first Blog mixer – and it was a great chance to meet local bloggers AND shop at the same time – two of my favorite things to do!
Down East Basics is pretty much an eclectic mix of “Anthropologie” styles, but at Target prices! Everything in the store is so reasonably priced, that there’s no reason to NOT be stylish. Unfortunately, I still tend to fall into the “jeans and a tee” fashion style that I’ve been stuck in for years and years – but there are so many options at Down East Basics, that it makes it easy for a boring girl like me to envision fun, new styles!
They have wonderfully fun accessories too – something I wish I was better at wearing!
I love the little touches, even on the inner waistband of the jeans!
If there isn’t a DEB near you, they have a fab online store as well!

Hello Melanie,
Wow, the blog mixer at your local Down East Basics store sounded like so much fun. I am now in love with the clothing line which includes two of my favorites. Ruffles and flowers which seem to be a theme throughout the line. Thanks for sharing.
Smiles, Paula
