Shabby Apple Giveaway

May 16, 2013 By Michelle Barneck 121 Comments

I got a fun little surprise in the mail just in time for Mother’s Day. Shabby Apple (I am an affiliate) sent me their At First Sight dress. It was so fun to have something nice and new to wear to church for Mother’s Day. The hubs was kind enough to do a mini photo shoot beforehand. This was the first shot he got!

I adore the rich color of the dress and the length is perfect. I love the look of the wrap dress with the ruffles and bow. It is dressed up and girly without being stuffy. My only complaint is the liner near the neck tends to unfold and peak out. Nothing that can’t be easily fixed with an iron, clothing tape or simple stitching.

There are so many dresses over at Shabby Apple that I just love!

Does your closet need a new addition?

Kaboo Tablet Bag

April 4, 2013 By Michelle Barneck 3 Comments

This review and giveaway is sponsored by Kaboo. The content is all my own.

With a new Kindle Fire HD, I decided I needed a safe place to tote it around with me. It didn’t take me long to decide I needed a Kaboo bag. They are the cutest tablet bags I’ve seen, plus they are a local company which I love. I ordered up the Riley Pearl. Isn’t she pretty?

I am totally loving it so far. I took it on a weekend getaway and loved how it fit my electronics perfectly! There are so many pockets. Seriously, an organized place for everything. You can see how I packed everything with the labels below.

Though the Riley Pearl is meant to be a tablet bag, not a camera bag, I figured with the padded lining on one side my camera was safer in there than in any other bag I carry. I am excited to take it to the SNAP conference to keep all my tech gear close at hand.

The Kaboo bag is kind of like a mullet. Wait for it…business in the front and party in the middle. I love how the lining is such a fun colorful print.

With seven pockets on the outside there is no shortage of storage. I love these pockets for my phone, wallet, keys, and other items I need to get to often. There’s also a pocket the perfect size for my camera charger. Love!
