Kalencom Diaper Bag {Review + Silent Auction} CLOSED

Kalencom wanted to help me deck out my fashion for the new baby girl’s arrival so they sent me the most adorable Madonna Diaper Bag in Zebra! I absolutely {heart} it! They have the cutest diaper bags around that’s for sure. My criteria for a diaper bag is cute and roomy. This one is just that. CUTE & ROOMY! It features a very room interior with tons of room for everything the baby could possibly need. It is styled like a messenger bag with comfortable straps. Inside I found a zippered pouch for my goodies like lip gloss and credit card, a Thinsulate insulated bottle bag, and a very large fold out changing pad. It is 13″L x 6″W x 15″ tall. Just the perfect size! If you are in the market for a diaper bag you will definitely want to head over to Kalencom and check them all out. They have so many styles, patterns, and colors. Plus they make a wonderful baby shower gift!

Why settle for blah when you can have OOO LA LA!?

Babymel, was created in London in 2006 by Melanie Marshall and Suzi Bergman.  These ladies are the co founders of Storksak. They created Babymel to offer parents an attractive and functional diaper bag at wonderful prices.  See! OOO LA LA for not a lot of MOO LA LA! (that was so cleaver of me!)

These bags are any mother’s dream.  They have many pockets for organizing, carrying all the baby goods, and holding mommy’s cell phone, wallet, and lip gloss.  All surfaces are wipe-clean material but not that cheap plastic stuff.  Each bag is made with beautiful materials, colors, and patterns.

The DadGear Messenger Bag is a diaper bag that dad will proudly carry. Styled like a bike messenger bag, the Messenger is comfortable, durable, and looks cool too. On the inside, it’s packed with thoughtful features like the Quick Access Wipes Case that are sure to make your life easier.
