A Passion for Pixie Pants



Every once in a while, you stumble across the perfect pair of pants and wonder how you have been able to make it this far without them. Enter the Old Navy pixie pants – I impulsively picked up a pair while standing in the checkout line a few weeks ago (navy with an anchor print, obviously) and I instantly fell in love. 

2 days later, I went back for a white pair (which I now wear with EVERYTHING) and most recently, I put my rewards points to good use for a pair in black. I cannot be stopped...




Shirt: Old Navy // Vest: TJ Maxx (similar) // Pants: Old Navy // Shoes: Sole Society 
Clutch: Threadsence // Belt: Target // Rings: Francesca's // Sunglasses: Old Navy

It’s safe to say I officially have an obsession because I frequently scan the website to see if they introduced any new prints. I have a strong feeling that floral, neon and MORE anchor designs would secure a spot in my closet with no questions asked…just sayin’ ;)

Behind the Scenes: Fall Photo Shoot

We recently headed into the city for a Sisters Marie fall photo shoot. We worked with the very talented Neil Pili (yes, again...we love his work!) and we were thrilled with his new studio space. It's stunning with all of the exposed brick, a full (stocked) bar and comfortable yet modern seating areas (think West Elm meets Ikea).

We were also joined by a videographer (video coming soon!) who did some behind the scenes looks for us that we look forward to sharing with you.

Here's what we wore for our first fall look:



Jacket: H&M // Shirt: TJ Maxx // Jeans: H&M // Booties: c/o Just Fab // Bag: c/o Just Fab 
Watch: T+J Designs // Bracelet: Bauble Bar // Cocktail Ring: Elephant Gyspy // Small ring: Lili Claspe // Necklace: Threadsence

After the shoot, we headed over to a great bridge and graffiti wall for a few impromptu photos and video clips with both gentleman. Thank you both for doing this with us in the rain and putting your lives in harms way by standing in oncoming traffic for the sake of a great picture...THAT is dedication ;)

The Polar Express has been one of my favorite Christmas stories since I was little, so I was excited to experience our own version with the family. Our family took Lisa’s children aboard the train which included chocolate milk & cookies, a reading of the story, a bell (that we could all hear ring) and of course, a visit from Mr. C himself. 

Here is what we wore:
Sweater: LOFT, Leggings: Express, Boots: Just Fab(similar), Sunnies and Hat: Target, Bracelets: Swap with Lisa (Baublebar)

 Top: Banana Republic, Vest: MNG by Mango, Jeans: Stylemint(similar), Shoes: Shoemint(similar), Sunnies: Loft,  Necklace: Threadsence







What are your favorite childhood holiday stories?

P.S. Happy Birthday Kaitlyn!! Here's to many more ;-)

Because We Went to a Backyard Birthday BBQ

We recently hosted/attended a 60th birthday celebration for my wonderful father at our house complete with a massive white tent, bartender, and an emotional photo slideshow of his life put together by Lisa, my brother and I. The night was just as perfect as we had pictured it - Close friends and family telling stories and memories of my dad, set to the background of a meticulously planned playlist of his favorite songs. It was so nice to not be rushing out the door for a dinner reservation - Instead, everybody we love was in one place and we were able to drink, snack and laugh into the nighttime hours. 

It was a 90 degree day (my favorite kind!) which meant light summer dresses and sandals were essential:

Dress: Forever 21, Sandals: Charlotte Russe (Similar), Earrings: Francesca's (Similar)

Bracelet: Loft, Belt: Forever 21, Ring: Made by Lisa

shift dress
Dress: Threadsence, Shoes: Target, Sunnies: Michael Kors

athensjewelry
Bracelets: C/O Kristin Hassan, Ring: Self Made (I SPY DIY project)




The beautiful white tent (which I now think should be a permanent fixture in our yard)

The amazing multi-layer cake 


One of the only times you'll see Lisa in flats ;)

Meet The Sisters behind Sisters Marie

Hello everyone, Kaitlyn and Lisa here! We are so excited to blog with you guys on two of our favorite things...Being sisters (in-law) and everything fashion.

Photobucket
Lisa: Dress: Threadsence, Clutch: Shoedazzle, Necklace: Pree Brulee, Kaitlyn: Blazer: Forever 21, Top: H&M, Pants: Express, Necklace: Forever 21

We met 7 years ago and have been swapping clothes and obsessing over fashion together ever since. It only makes sense that as we begin our new business venture (BecauseIShopTooMuch.com) we start blogging together. Let us be clear, this is not a blog to promote BISTM. There will be site updates and lots of helpful information for you to get your closet started, but we have a ton of exciting topics in store for you! 


We will be posting 5 days a week (Monday-Friday starting Monday May 14, 2012) and look forward to making new friends here in the blogger world. We love comments and feedback, so don't be shy! Also, make sure you follow us on Google friend Connect or by email by simply clicking follow this blog on the right hand side. Thanks for following us!
