Because We Enjoyed Blogger Brunch (Part 2)

We are still daydreaming about the better than Martha brunch we attended 2 weeks ago. Mary of Sportsanista hosted a group of Chicago fashion bloggers at her lovely home in the west loop and we really enjoyed the intimacy of it all. 

Even though we see each other at various events around the city, it's hard to have a real conversation because there's always so much going on (outfit posting and shopping, the usual) so this was a great opportunity to get to know the girls outside of their blogs.

Here are some of the brunch details that made us swoon:

"Just add champs"

A gorgeous Spring table setting in turquoise and green

Simple yet such elegant details

Blueberry & Bacon Pancake Muffins

Scones with tasty Rare Bird Preserves (Chicago ladies, you must check them out!)

Rustic personalized place settings with a mini greek yogurt, fruit & granola 

Can't wait to see these ladies rock our T's! (zahra, jess, jill, mary, johanna, jess)

Probably talking about a very serious Instagram matter...

Our personal favorite

Only 100 different takes to make it happen ;)

A few iPhone views…the avocado eggs were uh-mazing, not to mention baked brie!  

Thanks again, Mary! Xo

Rocked it & Swapped it

One of my favorite things about BISTM is you can find users that are from your area or fellow blogger friends and trade with them. 

Jill of Jess & Jill wore this beautiful Akira dress in a blog post back in May of 2012. 

I love everything about the way she styled it! In fact, my first instinct was to wear a black bra, belt, and shoes because I loved her look so much. 

In a last minute change of heart, I decided to go with a white bandeau bra under, neutral shoes, skip the belt, and a blue statement necklace to my Just Fab Blogher event.

Here is one dress two ways:

What do you think? 

I love it both ways and can't wait to try layering over it to get some pre-fall looks out of the dress too!

Guest Post: Jess & Jill

Hello, Sisters Marie readers, we're Jess & Jill - just two girls and a blog! In the spirit of BISTM, we decided to do what these ladies are known for... Rocked it and swapped it!

While we're not the same size in clothing, it doesn't mean we can't raid each other's closets for accessories! Sporting the same Burberry scarf, GUESS cuff bracelet, House of Harlow 1960 'Robyn' sunglasses, and DV by Dolce Vita 'Tarry' wedges, we created two very different looks.

For Jess's preppy look, she wore a Gap knee-length printed dress with additional jewelry from Kate Spade and Love and Pieces.

For Jill's boho look, she wore a Lucca Couture chambray romper with additional jewelry from Gap.
