downeast swim {giveaway!}

I don't know a lot of people that look forward to swimsuit shopping, but I do know that I look forward to seeing Downeast's swimwear line every year. They recently launched their 2010 line-up and it's pretty great.


With multiple mix and match tops and bottoms, as well as a few ruffly skirts to hide those trouble spots, I think there is something for everyone.


I had a hard time deciding which suit to choose. In the end I had them send me the Mediterranean tank and bottoms. The suit is lined with supportive cups that actually work, and the nylon/spandex was the perfect blend for holding you in in all the right places.


Today Downeast is giving away one suit of your choice. Which suit will you be putting in your basket?

Would you love to win? be sure to:
*comment on this post - with your name
*answer question above
*giveaway will be open until Monday (5/10)
*winner will be announced Tuesday morning (5/11)

*extra entries will be granted for facebook/twitter/blog posts etc. Just leave a link back in the comments for each extra entry.
