I was SO excited when Down East E-mailed me about doing a giveaway and review for the new holiday line. I LOVE down east basics… so it was very hard for me to pick only one item to review! :)

After much contemplation I ended up picking this military inspired jacket and let me tell you I LOOOVE it! I just had a baby so obviously my hips are not in their best shape… but the jacket is still totally flattering. It is also one of the most comfortable jackets I own. It wouldn’t be warm enough to wear out in the snow, but it’s perfect for our AZ winters. Anyways I’m really excited about it, and love how easily it dresses up my outfit!

Here are a few other cute pieces from their new holiday line…
