Intern Talk: Meet Hannah


We are excited to introduce the newest member of our team! In addition to our wonderful graphic designer, Rebecca, Hannah has joined us as a photography intern. Hailing from California, she picked a rough time to transition into the Midwest but she sure has been capturing it beautifully through the eyes of her Instagram account. As a freshman studying photography, directing and editing, Chicago is the perfect place to expand on her (already amazing) skills and we look forward to having her at upcoming events.

Here are a few of Hannah's shots:



In the coming weeks, you will see more of Hannah and Rebecca through our "Intern Talk" feature. Being from Cali and Hawaii (respectively), they both have some great perspectives on fashion and lifestyle so stay tuned for their guest posts!

Top 10 Rock & Swap in 2013

We wanted to share a few of our best "rock & swap" moments with you guys because not only is it one of our favorite themes to blog about, but it's the idea that launched both of our websites (bistm & btgtf

We both enjoy going through each other closets and picking items to swap for a week or two -- it not only keeps our wardrobes fresh but our bank accounts in check (okay, our husbands might disagree on that note) but it is a great way to get a "new" outfit for an event because let's be honest, us girls have a bad a habit of only wearing things once ;)






Here's a few bonus fashion favorites...Make sure to follow us on Instagram if you aren't yet!






Which swap is your favorite?

Because We Love our Intern!

For the past six months, we have had the pleasure of working with Rebecca as our intern. If you are on our mailing list (sign up here!) then you have received many collages made by her! She does really cute instagram, email, and blog posts for us and always has some great advice about the business.

For those of you not familiar with Rebecca, we would like to introduce you to her. She has a great style blog called [Oomph.] and is a (fellow) Mommy of two from Hawaii (I know, we are jealous too!)

Here are a few of our favorite outfit posts of hers:



She has a closet on Because I Shop Too Much that you can shop too! Check out some of our favorite items currently selling:


To top it all off, she also has a closet on Because They Grow Too Fast and sells her kids clothing (boys and girls clothes). Here are a few of our favorite items currently selling:

Stop by her blog and leave a comment or shop her closets! Lets show some love to a gal we adore!

Fab Kids

If someone were to ask us where we bought a clothing item, there is a good chance that the answer would be "Just Fab." As big fans of the brand, we were excited to find about about the launch of Just Fab Kids and Lisa jumped on board right away so her little bean could pick out her own styles too.

Each month, you'll find new outfits styled just for your girl and every outfit includes 3 pieces for just $39.95. You can buy the outfit you love or skip the month altogether.


Christina Applegate is the mom and creative partner behind the brand, and she has always had great style (even back in the days of Married with Children, crop tops anyone?) 

Here are some of our favorite outfit picks for your mini-fashionista:


Will you be shopping Fab Kids? If you need make room in their closets first, start a closet here!

Introducing our Intern (& her closet!)

 Lisa and I recently decided to turn to some of our most loyal blog readers and BISTM users for some creative help over the next few months and we are so lucky to have Rebecca on our team. Not only is she super talented in graphic design, but she also lives in Hawaii so of course we're just a little jeal. 


Meet Rebecca & Shop her closet! (leather skirt for spring, anyone?)
Pin It


We personally have our eye on the leather skirt...What about you?
