Fresh Produce Clothing Review

cindy — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 11:11:38 +0000

I am a busy Florida mom who only wears clothes that are cool and comfy. I love all the colorful resort wear that I see in the shops and boutiques but the stiff fabrics and ridiculous prices just don’t meet my style or budget. Here is where Fresh Produce comes in, they have colorful, casual and comfy clothes at a mid-range price point. Every time I am at Universal’s City Walk in Orlando I wander through the Fresh Produce store so I was happy when Fresh Produce asked me to review a piece of their clothing for them.

Fresh Produce asked me to pick out 2 outfits from their website and then they would send me one to review. I must admit that their selection of Plus Size clothing is rather limited and many of my favorite pieces are not available for Plus Sized women. That being said I received the Bombay Blooms Garden Party Dress in black and it fit very well. I wore the dress to church on Sunday and I was blown away by all of the comments about how nice I looked! The dress is very cool and comfortable, it is also easy to wash and wear.

If you are looking for colorful casual clothes I suggest you check out Fresh Produce. You can purchase clothes online or in their stores. I checked out their store locator and found out I don’t have to drive 100 miles to Orlando, there is a store 10 miles from my house on St Armand’s Circle in Sarasota! You can also follow Fresh Produce on Twitter and like them on Facebook.

Faith Baby

cindy — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 00:51:00 +0000

My kids and I love to wear t-shirts that proclaim our faith in Jesus Christ. It is a great way to start conversations with strangers and it also helps us remember to behave in a manner that would please Jesus. I just found a company called Faith Baby. Faith Baby was started last year by Stephanie McGuire, of Beaumont, Calif., to celebrate her own faith babies. After she lost her first baby in the sixth month of pregnancy in 2004, McGuire considered her son an answer to her prayers. Her blessings doubled when she gave birth to twin girls, Grace and Faith, in 2008. “For many people, babies are a product of faith and a lot of prayer. I know when my son Joshua was born in 2006, he felt like my own ‘faith baby’, and I wished I had a little onesie or t-shirt to share my joy,” McGuire explained. “I was inspired by him and my Christian background to start this business. My goal is to keep the designs simple and cute and to spread God’s blessings with uplifting messages.”

Stephanie’s site offers an alternative to the recent trend of “attitude-wear” for babies by featuring positive messages of Christian faith on onesies, tees, pants and accessories with a stylish, modern sensibility.All of the messages on Faith Baby’s products, which include “Faith Baby,” “Mommy’s Answered Prayers,” “Not spoiled, blessed,” “All God’s grace in this tiny face,” “Jesus loves me and so does Daddy,” “I am a blessed baby” and others, are inspired by her kids and her life.

Ideal for baby showers, birthdays, baptisms and spiritual holidays, or simply to celebrate one’s joy over the birth of a new baby, Faith Baby products are made of super-soft 100% cotton. Onesies come in a variety of colors, in sizes from 3-6 months to 12-18 months. Toddler t-shirts come in four color options, in sizes 2T-4T. The new “frilly” infant pants are one-size fits most from six to 12 months, and will soon be available in new color variations. Gift boxes with a blue or pink tulle ribbon are also available.

Stephanie is offering my Mom Maven readers a 10% off coupon. Use code PR0309 at checkout to save on your order. So visit Faith Baby today.
