During one of my many expeditions in search of less mainstream fashion I found myself in Logan Square at the Wolfbait & B-girls Boutique on W. Logan Blvd. http://www.wolfbaitchicago.com I had heard about them while visiting Fashionninja in Milwaukee http://www.fashionninja.com and was excited to learn about an thriving “indie” boutique in my home city!
Stepping inside the doors I was met by two friendly faces who offered their assistance from behind a counter where they were manning various sewing machines. The small space was carefully merchandised with handmade treasures ranging from cards, jewelry, handbags and clothing.
I have been in many “indie” boutiques but I would have to say that Shirley Novak and Jenny Stadler the owners have done it right. The place has attitude and panache, and I found myself wanting to stay all day and just hang out.
I loved the wrist cuffs made from recycled bicycle tires by Decycled and the fur handbags, though I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the designer (sorry).
It’s a great place to snag a truly unique for someone really special… or to spoil yourself rotten just for the hell of it!

While you’re over at Wolfbait & B-girls, head up Milwaukee Ave. I know it doesn’t look like much, but you’ll find some interesting jewelry at 2630 (see Spring Cleaning); there’s currently some cute slipper like shoes at 2634; north of Diversey Kay Shoes is owned by the same folks as Alamo in Andersonville though there Logan Square stock does not reflect it–so stop in and let them know that there’s a market in Logan Square; and there are second hand stores where you can find a find.
