How many of us came to this fair city with big dreams of roughing it in a big old SoHo (or, more appropriately Brooklyn) loft gorgeously hanging about all these our half-painted canvases. Makes for a nice story, but reality sure does bite. Instead, we are happy to indulge in some painterly passions in Built By Wendy's artfully inspired spring '10 lookbook. With soft still-life T-shirts, mini-dresses adorned with Monet-inspired blooms, and a loose dotted blouse named Degas (natch), these new pieces will deliver that artisan-chic look without ever having to get your hands dirty.
