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!
