25 Jan 12 Iconic Aussie Finds
Jenna Templeton shares some true blue buys in celebration of Australia Day.
I must say, it’s pretty great having a birthday on Australia Day, when everyone is celebrating the nation at the same time (with the added bonus of a public holiday). A lover of all things true blue Australiana, I’ve put together a list of some ripper Aussie thangs I think are good enough to go straight to the pool room…or to wear or take to an Aussie barbie! Don’t forget the snags!
