Oh what a dull life it would be without graphic designers, depriving our peepers of all sorts of loveliness.

Sheesh, it's been a while, hasn't it? Not to worry – the new issue of frankie is on newsstands today and just between us it's a bit of a winner.

We'd love to swap our daggy duds for some elegantly swishy skirts and dresses, which is how we ended up waist deep in Bess Georgette's online store.

A merry Tunesday to you, frankie friends! We have a wee exclusive for you this morn, direct from the Gold Coast hinterland and sunny shores of Byron Bay.

Issue 54 of frankie mag is sitting in our hot little hands, and we're so darn pleased with it that we wanted to give you a sneaky peek before it greets the world in just two days time.

Cold feet aren't fun in any sense of the words, so we're pretty stoked that Tightology have released a new range to keep our tootsies warm this winter.
