The sun is out and Issue #46 of our favourite little Australian magazine, Frankie, is available and at Still Life For Her. Inside they're exploring the strange and the beautiful (and a few bits and bobs in between). The strange case of pink-for-girls and blue-for-boys. The beauty of outdated wallpaper. They're roadtesting cake mixes – and licking the bowl clean – while taking a look at iconic movie mums. They have a chat with some disabled creatives about abilities and art, meet a guy who likes to disguise himself with animal masks, take a trip to Istanbul and hear the fast-forward love story of two people who became instant parents only seven or so months after their first 'date'. Plus all the usual art, fashion, craft, music and quirk, and loads of things to make you smile and laugh.

Grab an iced drink and the newest issue of Frankie Magazine and head out into this beautiful sun!

Chic fashions abound in this fifth edition, offering powerful, glamorous and fun suggestions for the summer months ahead. On the cover, Christy Turlington smiles wearing a jacquard bustier top by Dolce & Gabbana.

Oh Comely is a lifestyle magazine with life. It is a magazine that makes people smile, full of quiet moments and stories. Read it with a cup of tea or a toddy.

Oh Comely Issue Eight is a free spirit who speaks its mind: They photographed people whose tattoos had stories. Writers confessed their secret crushes. They munched through the history of a digestive biscuit that travelled to the Antarctic. They dyed scarves with fennel and onion skins. People of every age talked about kindness they'd given and received. Interviews: My Brightest Diamond, Smoke Fairies, Paddy Considine, Jenny Balfour-Paul, Antipodium, Julianna Swaney.

The current, Eighth Issue of Oh Comely is now available at Still Life For Her.

Frankie Issue #44 arrived from Australia today! Features include working mums and crochet-heads, ugly jumpers, Antarctic adventures, bicycle-driven art, sweet studios, nostalgic wonderment, a yummy DIY ice-cream recipe and a suspicious amount of chook photos. There are all your usual bits and pieces of fashion, music, art, design, laughs, photography and real-life reads too.

For Frankie Magazine #43 it’s all about originals and individuals: people who push the envelope (and might get the occasional paper cut). There’s a lady from Christchurch who won’t let her city’s continued rumblings get in the way of her boutique dreams, a chat with maverick director John Waters, a Queensland painter who’s quit her day job to let art pay the rent, some music lovers who’ve started their own pirate radio station and an Australian diplomat who conducts peace talks with a guitar.

PLUS a very special jam recipe and one-off Frankie stickers to pop on your jars once you’re done, a waltz through the history of flowers, lots of pretty fashions from our favourite local designers and all the usual laughs, crafts, arty bits, musical goodness and – for our biggest ever issue – more nice stuff than you can shake a stick at.

Frankie is a national bi-monthly based in Australia, aimed at women (and men) looking for a magazine that’s as smart, funny, sarcastic, friendly, cute, rude, arty, curious and caring as they are. Frankie is dedicated to celebrating music, fashion, art, craft, photography, and pop culture’s quirkier aspects.

Lula Magazine describes itself as being "The kind of girl you'd have a crush on. Or be intimidated by. Her style is all old-fashioned cameras, 79's dresses, patterned stockings & heavy mascara. She'd live in an apartment where the wallpaper is peeling off, but it would be held together lovingly by a litter of poems and polaroids. Her CDs would be all over the floor, but she'd know the name of every one.".

Arriving from London this week at Still Life For Her, Lula Magazine is full of beautifully glamourous editorials, photographs, interviews, fashion, music and memories of childhoods lost; Lula Magazine is thick as a book, haunting as a fairy tale, and will look quite lovely sitting on your coffee or bedside table.

Rounding out our newly minted magazine & periodical areas of Still Life For Her, Lula Magazine is a truly special biannual fashion read that you can hold onto lovingly for countless seasons worth of whimsical inspiration available now in two, different, collectable covers at Still Life For Her.
