Stephanie J is the editor, creative founder and head-tea-girl of N.E.E.T. Magazine, in addition to being a freelance web designer, self-confessed internet geek and fashion junkie. N.E.E.T. began in December 2005 as a quarterly online fashion magazine, dedicated to showcasing independent art and design. Over the years it has grown and now includes handmade, vintage, fair trade, organic and eco-friendly items — showing that fashion isn’t without a conscience. The magazine’s aim is to be inspirational, not just aspirational. N.E.E.T. Magazine is an eco-friendly, grassroots style bible for the digital age.

You can also check out N.E.E.T. at their new daily blog, which highlights and catches up with the magazine’s past designers and artists. For this Guest Curator post, Stephanie shares her N.E.E.T picks from Etsy using natural materials for this season.
