Hooray, it's Australia Day! Like pretty much the rest of the country, nerd boyfriend and I are having some friends over for a barbie (BBQ). We'll have Triple J's hottest 100 on the radio, just like pretty much the rest of the country and will probably get pretty pissed (drunk) just like pretty much the rest of the country. Happy Australia Day!These beautiful pics are from Vanessa Jackman's This is Australia post.

As always, J.Crew have some nice nautical stripes on offer. What's not to like, right?
The real highlight though is this amazing Macintosh coat! I'm normally not a huge fan of red but this coat would look incredible on anyone. I'm semi-considering taking out a loan to buy it.
