Kaboo Bags | Giveaway

0 · · 68 Comments

Have you met the new girl on the block? Her name is Kaboo and she is DARLING!! Seriously… I was introduced to Kaboo bags a few weeks ago at SNAP!  and I have long since fallen in love!

If you haven't met the Kaboo brand of tech bags let me introduce you. Kaboo bags are a new line of stylish and feminine handbags that have a hidden tech pouch that is perfect for your iPad, Kindle or any kind of tablet or small laptop.  They have four styles…

While I was at SNAP! I had the chance to look at all four of the bags and check out all of their features.  They are high quality bags made with finest materials and have been thought out very carefully.  I've had the chance to take the Olivia for a test drive now for a week or so… I LOVE THIS BAG!!!

I wish you could feel it.  It's made of fabulous soft leather and has the most amazing functionality of any bag that I have found lately.  Inside the bag has a padded pocket with a magnetic snap to secure your tablet in place.

Notice the fun chevron lining inside the bag… love it! The bag is spacious enough for me to not only carry along my iPad and wallet, but I have room enough to bring my little guys necessities along with me as well.

  

He's two… and and being a two-year old he still requires diapers, wipes, sippy cups and various little toys to keep him entertained while on the go.  They all fit in the bag along with MY necessities. The side pocket is perfect for his sippy cup and my diaper pouch from The Pleated Poppy fits nicely inside the spacious bag.

 

The Olivia has so many pockets, it impossible to not be organized with this bag.  It has two side pockets that have elastic at the top of the pocket to keep your items secured in the bag.  It also has a larger front pocket that has elastic at the top as well that is perfect for sunglasses and keys.  I will never have to dig around in my bag looking for keys ever again.

 

On the inside of the bag, opposite from the tech pouch, you will find several pockets perfect for your phone, lip gloss, pens you name it.  It also has a zippered pocket for the little things that you would like to keep hidden away.  All in all, this is the PERFECT bag.  The only thing that would make it ever more perfect was to include another padded section for my camera… now that would make my day!

I've dressed mine up with the Bouffant flower applique from Whippy Cake which I adore. Not that the bag needs it, it just makes me happy.

The fabulous folks over at Kaboo have generously offered TWO KABOO BAGS for two lucky WhipperBerry friends!!  Use the Rafflecopter widget to enter the giveaway

Good luck… I know you guys are going to love these bags!!

disclosure | I did receive a bag from Kaboo in order to review the bag.  I did not receive payment for this post and the views and opinions are my own.

Spring into the Dream | Pinterest Contest

0 · · 52 Comments

Ever since I was a little girl I have LOVED spring.  I remember walking around my neighborhood in the rain with my brand new umbrella taking in all of the sights and smells.  The flowers blooming, the earthworms crawling out of their grassy slumber to enjoy the rain.  I loved the cleaning away of the crust of winter.  Even as a child I could tell it was a fresh start, an awakening. It was time to open up and embrace life again.

Now as a grown woman, I embrace this great time of year to freshen up my life and my home.  I love how you can add a new pop of color to your home to create a whole new fresh look, just like the spring flowers do for the world. For the next two weeks I have teamed up with the fabulous folks over at Homes.com for a fun Spring into the Dream Pinterest Contest. You can join me as well!

Friday Flair | Link Party

8 · · 29 Comments

Yipee… It's {almost} Friday!! Time for Friday Flair. I'm making a few changes with Friday Flair this week {I know, take a deep breath… Sometimes change is good!} I am going to start doing the Friday Flair Features from the previous week on Friday.  So… Later in the afternoon on Friday I will post the features from last week.  I've decided that I would like to have Mondays back for original WhipperBerry content, we'll see how that works for awhile.

Today has been a Whirlwind of a day.  I spent a good part of the day at a private event for the new Container Store that is going to open here in Vegas this Saturday. I am soooooo excited!!  We had a Container Store in Littleton, Colorado where I used to live and I LOVED that place.  After the fun preview today I am chopping at the bit to get in there and do some major project shopping! The jar wall alone nearly sent me over the edge with delight!

I can't wait to see what you guys have been up to this week.  But first… Here's our inspiration photo for this week…

I can't even tell you how happy this photo makes me.  It's just stunning in so many ways… I love the colors, the topography, and the cookies… don't even get me started on the cookies! I can just image how yummy they taste.  I'm going to have to make these with my little guy one of these days while the girls are at school, he would just LOVE it.  Bravo Jamielyn from I Heart Naptime, what an inspiration you are!
