pretty crafty!

Have you seen ISSUE THREE of the prettiest, craftiest little mag of them all? Peppermint Magazine is once again bursting cover to cover with fresh green fashion from Australia (and abroad). You'll find Peppermint Magazine stocked in stores & newsagents around the country, but if you are yet to find your copy, you're in luck! We are thrilled to be offering up three copies to GIVEAWAY! For a chance to win one, simply leave a comment on this post by Friday 18th September. Three winners will be drawn the following Saturday. Good luck!

This issue's "cover girl" is vintage darling Rhiannon Leifheit whose online look book is loaded with pics photographed DIY-style by her boyfriend in and around their Atlanta home. Her fashion experiments are featured in Peppermint's "style statemint" (p50): "We believe true inspiration comes from real people in their own clothes"...

On p40, Peppermint Magazine writer Tess Curran explores the WORLD OF DIY. Her in depth article features industry insights from many indie favourites: Jhoanna Monte Aranez (One Red Robin), Kristie Banham (Rourke & Henry), Ellie Beck (Red Seed Studio), Anna Laura Blanford (Anna Laura, Able & Game), Kate Brereton (Betty and Hamish), Danielle and Lauren Carey (Love, Janie Lou), Ali Chisholm (Jellygnite), Allison Jones (Lark), Liz Jones (Betty Jo), Fiona Lech (Dear Fii), Holly McGuire (Two Cheese Please), Tabitha Emma Patterson (Tabitha Emma), Kristina Powrie (Old Yarns, Reclaimed Linens), Prudence Rees-Lee (Philos-o-face), and Angela White (Sew Your Own). You won't want to miss this one!

Photo editorial "A Hazy Shade of Winter" (p58) features a gorgeous collection of cosy fashion & beautifully crafted images (taken by Queensland-based photographer Natalie McComas). Fibres which are soft to the touch, styles perfectly suited to a walk in the park or curling up on the couch, hand-knitted & felted accessories (like our favourite "Necklace Scarf" by Gaye Abandon)...

The theme for Issue Three's Art Eco Competition was "water: every drop counts". The winner, Melissa Meyoko, is an artist based in Berlin. She is obsessed with details, ephemera, memories, dreams and nature, and her artwork for Peppermint Magazine (pictured above left) is "based upon the importance of water in our life, because without this element all could be a big desert".

The two runners up are Melbourne artist & designer Nicole Tattersall, whose photo of a heart-shaped rock pool is pictured above right, and Brisbane designer Lila Theodoros.

"Holly Go Naturally" (p28) shows you how to achieve an oh-so-sophisticated wintery look... Aren't these photos just beautiful? Create this classic hairdo with retro-inspired hair accessories from Melbourne designer Hopelessly Devoted's Etsy Store.

Our indie art & design interview with Simone Madigan from States of Nature is featured on p76, and of course, you can read the interview in full right here! Don't forget to leave a comment to go in the draw for one of 3 copies of Peppermint Magazine Issue Three!
