Ladies Day by Little Miracles Drinks – Polo in the Park
The second day of Chestertons Polo in the Park was sold out for a reason, it was Ladies Day sponsored by Little Miracles Drink. I was honored to have been invited by the main sponsors of the event Chestertons, as I helped write the “What to wear at Chestertons Polo in the Park” article on their website before the event.
Of course we had to pose for a group photo as we arrived at Chestertons Polo in the Park.
I must say that one of my favorite parts of this day was to people-watch and look at all the stunning #MyPoloStyle outfits the ladies were wearing. I chose my absolute favorites to showcase here and they are definitely inspirations for my next polo adventures, the Scandinavian Beach Polo World Cup in Denmark.
The elegant way of wearing a crop top. This ensemble is just polo perfect, the wide-leg white trousers, the matching nude-beige shoes and bag and a little bit of florals. She had just bought the hat in the Mu-Du pop-up shop completing her #MyPoloStyle outfit.
A royal blue jumpsuit on a blonde is just perfect. And perfectly accessorized with Lanson Rosé Champagne and a handsome and polo stylish man. 10 points
And no polo wardrobe would be complete without a flowy floral maxi dress cinched at the waist. The dove-grey, the blush-pink flowers and nearly black details make it sophisticated and subtle, yet girly and romantic.
Polo-wise it was another great afternoon of excellent polo matches and wonderful weather. American/Argentinian star player Nic Roldan, currently 8 goals and therefore the highest handicapped player on the field, replaced the Aussie 7-goaler Ruki Ballieu and gave the sold-out crowd (especially the ladies) a show.

The match between team Davos and team Hong Kong was a nail-biter as these great players battled out their skills throughout the entire match and ended with a win for team Hong Kong.

We met up with these lovely guys in the La Martina tent after the match. Through the years I keep bumping in to them, from Buenos Aires to Dubai and of course in London at Chestertons Polo in the Park, where they have become the regular star players. Always great seeing them.

Between matches it was time to do some wandering around in the different pop-up boutiques and we were especially drawn to the stone-oven pizza. Yummy is all I have to say!
What is better than stone-oven pizza?? I am not sure really.
The second match of the day was a fight between team Lagos and the home-team London. After yesterday’s defeat to team Abu Dhabi I am sure the La Martina ambassadors were relieved and happy to call themselves the winners at 4 to 3. They looked pretty happy too.

La Martina #WeArePolo. I pretty much wanted to buy the entire shop!
Our friends from the desert were ready and pumped, following their victory last year and the day before. They looked ready to take on team Dublin in the third and last match of the day.
Team Abu Dhabi ready to go! Always such a pleasure catching up with these guys, makes me want to move back to Dubai. Guille, you really need to start smiling when there are cameras around.
Couldn’t resist taking a selfie at the pony lines. I wish I had my selfie-stick
Oh hey there Mohammed.
Mohammed showed some excellent polo skills and brought team Abu Dhabi ahead by the end of the second chukker, making us all think that they would be in the finals again, but the Irish luck kicked in and Le Poer scored a 2-pointer giving them a lead followed by another goal by Dawnay and the hooter went with Dublin heading to the finals.
Luck of the Irish. A nice little detail on Richard Le Poer’s helmet.
As the sun was setting and the grounds were closing it was time to head to the local pub for some after-polo-Pimm’s.
