Quite literally, too. They draw with a buttery smoothness (however cliche the language) for a creamy texture. It is a no-fail; the true artist&#8217;s heart would go giddy at the sight of a Prismacolor set peeking from beneath the gaudy wrapping paper!<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dannyrobertsartstore.blogspot.com\/2009\/05\/girls-in-glasses-unisex-collaboration.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Danny Roberts &#8216;Girls In Glasses&#8217; Tee,<\/strong> <em>$42<\/em><\/a>. An artist would indeed be floored to be gifted with a Borders &amp; Frontiers and Danny Roberts collaboration whose end product is a beautiful tee of one of Danny&#8217;s most iconic works (inspired by the Chanel girls a season or two ago). The possibilities of a cotton tee are endless; tucked into a pencil skirt for a gallery sighting, or, simply thrown over her favorite pair of jeans to get down and dirty with some paint.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shopnastygal.com\/products\/new\/clothing\/dresses\/Caged-In-Dress.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>NastyGal &#8216;Funktional&#8217; Caged-In Dress<\/strong>, <em>$98<\/em><\/a>. It goes without saying that the timeless LBD belongs in every girl&#8217;s closet. The LBD need not be restrictive in transcending personal taste, however. This particular version adds a futuristic touch with its Yves Saint Laurent meets Gareth Pugh SS09 cage shoulders. Architectural and geometric design never looked so classic on this fitted little number, making it the dress to wear for her first showcase.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.net-a-porter.com\/product\/60220#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Christian Louboutin Rolando 120 Yellow Patent Leather Pumps<\/strong>, <em>$625<\/em><\/a>. Louboutins are on [nearly] every girl&#8217;s wish list for its seductive and renowned red sole. Why not then, make her first (or next\u2014that lucky girl!) pair unique. Not many own a patent pair in yellow that adds that pop of color and interest to an everyday outfit, nonetheless one that can jazz up the aforementioned LBD. Forgo the typical black shoes, we love splashes of color!<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pixiemarket.com\/store\/assymetricearrings-p-998.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Pixie Market Pretty Young Thing Asymmetric Earrings<\/strong>, <em>$72<\/em><\/a>. I have always harbored a particular affinity for asymmetrical earrings (though I have yet to have my ears pierced); it juxtaposes the eccentric with unexpected elegance\u2014and anything of the sort always seems to capture my curiosity (and obsession). One earring is a 4&#8243; serpentine chain that ever-so-gracefully grazes the shoulders; the second of the pair is a\u00a0crystal diamond vintage clip.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moleskines.com\/moleskine-softcover-large-plain.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Moleskine Soft Cover Notebook<\/strong>, <em>$15<\/em><\/a>. The artist, regardless of her area specialty, must always carry within her bag [of the day] a small sketchbook.

The flexible soft &#8216;moleskine&#8217; cover with rounded corners makes it easy for on-the-go, and its elastic enclosure ensures that all pages will stay intact (a bent page is the worst!). 192 plain acid-free pages, thread bound to allow the notebook to lay flat for additional easiness of use, is enough to last the artist for a good amount of time. Better yet? This notebook includes an expandable inner note holder for miscellaneous bits and bobbins (post-it notes, paint or fabric swatches, etc.)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blackpaper.co.kr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Black Paper Multi-chain Cubic Necklace<\/strong>, <em>$25.35<\/em><\/a>.
