Fashion to Figure – Plus Size Clothing Review

As a plus sized woman, I’ve always struggled with finding cute clothing in my size.  For some reason, clothing manufacturers/designers feel that all plus sized women enjoy wearing things covered in flowers, sequins, rhinestones, cartoon characters, animals and other unattractive items!

When I am on the hunt for new clothing, I often turn to the internet to shop for new garments. Recently, some of my best purchases have come from websites that cater to the plus-sized woman and offers clothing that is in style and current with the latest trends.

Fashion to Figure is one of those sites. Not just web based, Fashion to Figure also offers a store front for the traditional shopper as well for those on the East coast.

FTF offers some of the cutest and stylish plus size clothing I have laid eyes on. I had the pleasure of checking out the Maxi Dress with Braided Straps in black. This dress is by far one of the comfiest pieces of clothing I have ever owned. I chose this particular dress so I could wear it while I was in Los Angeles this past August. It was the best decision for me because it worked well with both my baby bump and my flip flops plus I could dress it up with jewelry, scarves and other accessories or just keep it nice and simple.

Knowing that my pregnancy is getting closer to the end, I am getting anxious to pick up a few new items for myself as my body begins to recover and I begin to shed some pounds. I will always be a plus size girl, even if I lose a bunch of weight, because plus sized is me. I don’t want to be the skinny girl and I’m sick of being the fat girl. I’m just looking forward to being me…the cute plus sized woman my husband fell in love with and I am looking forward to dressing that body!

Here are a few of the items I cannot wait to pick up from Fashion to Figure.
The Jersey Deep V-Neck Top with Beaded Waist and this Asymmetrical Knit Top with Rainbow Stripes.

I can’t wait to start shopping!!

CATDOG: Season 1-Part 1 Now on DVD

When CATDOG first appeared on television in 1998 I remember thinking what kind of crazy show is this and who is going to watch it?

10 months later I became a mom.
17 months after that, I was the mom of 2.

Fast forwarded to 2001 and I was watching CATDOG on a regular basis with my kids!

For those not familiar with CATDOG, take a moment and check out the video.

The sad thing is that I haven’t seen this show in years and years however I still know every word to the theme song!

CATDOG: Season 1 – Part 1 features the first 10 episodes of the show’s premiere season and follows the adventures of CatDog- the feline-canine brothers who are also conjoined twins.

Since we have introduced the little Alexander to CatDog he has become an addict. We are already looking forward to part 2 of season 1 arriving on DVD….please happen SOON!

It’s Party Time with Xia-Xia — #Giveaway – Ends 11/6/11

Over the weekend, the Libby and I had the pleasure of hosting a Xia-Xia Hermit Crab Pet Party. Xia-Xia Pets (pronounced Sha-Sha); are the new colorful, collectible hermit crabs. From a distant island, these crazy crustaceans live to dance and play because everyday is a celebration with XiaXia! Start the parade by pressing XiaXias claw and watch it do its wacky walk.

We received a whole bunch of Xia-Xia goodies to host our party and have lots of fun! We started our evening off  by setting up all 3 of the Xia-Xia play sets.

The play sets were very easy to assemble, and we didn’t really need to follow the directions. Everything snapped right into place and was very sturdy. The girls thought the sets were pretty neat looking and loved how colorful they were.

Of the play sets the girls definitely enjoyed the Rio de Trio Village the most and loved watching their pets chase each other around inside.

Once we had the play sets ready to go, we checked out all of our supplies. There we were, armed with 8 Xia-Xia pets and 8 Xia-Xia Shells along with 2 new little friends in each shell!!

From there, we broke the Xia-Xia’s out of there cute little packages and began to play. The only complaint we had was that they were each in cute little packages but they were difficult to open, but once we got past that part, the fun really began!!! The girls played for over an hour straight acting out different stories with their Xia-Xia pets, changing shells and interacting with their little friends. At one point they were discussing a town that included a shell museum and a shell emporium.

I think it is safe to say that they had lots and lots of fun!! Each of the girls was also super excited that they got to take their Xia-Xia pets and accessories home with them too. I really enjoyed listening to them ooggle and ahh at the different little friends and make up cute stories as they played.

Of the 4 different Xia-Xia pets the overall favorite was Bimini. I think that had part to do with they loved saying her name. The girls also decided that the least intelligent of the bunch was Turks because she kept losing her way when traveling through the play sets.

The Little Friends were also a big hit. The girls thought the cutest and most clever Little Friend was the one that looked like a macaroni noodle. I personally loved the penguin one.

All in all, the girls had an absolute blast and look forward to getting together again to play with all of their new friends!! Xia-Xia Pets are already on the Toys ‘R’ Us Holiday Hot Toy List. Xia-Xia playsets and accessories range in price from $5.99-$19.99 and are recommended for ages 4+.

We will also be giving one lucky reader of The Megalomaniac Mommy their own Xia-Xia pet and shell set!
