Chi City Closet: Latch Collection Bracelet

I think it’s obvious by now that I have a sick obsession with neon. Mix that with a local designer who creates handmade bright and fun bracelets? It’s Latch Collection by Laura Jastram…how can you not love it.

When it comes to jewelry, I love to layer. The more the merrier, right? This piece is a statement on its own, but it’s still fun to mix it up and wear with my watch and a few other simpler bracelets.

Latch Collection bracelets also make a great gift for the holidays. Who wouldn’t want a neon addition to their arm party? Visit Latch Collection on Etsy for more info.

Getting Dosed at Dose Market

This weekend I went to Holidose (the Holiday version of Dose market) with my friend Chelsea . I thought it would be the perfect way to accomplish some holiday shopping but the day didn’t really go according to plan.

After some fried chicken with honey butter, 2 pie shakes from Hoosier Mama, and some purchases from C/FAN, Chalk Boutique and One of One jewelry….I realized none of these were gifts and I completely failed at my mission of holiday shopping. But hey…I left full, satisfied (a little fat) and excited about these new additions to my wardrobe. So I guess it wasn’t a completely failed mission 🙂

Here’s some of my photos from Dose. These markets occur every month so if you haven’t been yet, you should definitely check out the next one! It’s all about food, fashion and shopping local…how can you resist?
