We are approaching the end of the prestigious US Open Polo Championships, the teams have battled out on the field during a total of 16 matches to now find the two finalists, both undefeated so far, Orchard Hill will play against Dubai today, Sunday 24th at 3 pm. For a simple description of the polo rules etc. go to my blogpost What is polo? In preparation for the final I have collected some stats and facts about the US Open: The International...
On this Wednesday April 20th morning the sky was unsettling, as if to mirror the feelings of unnerving excitement for the two battles to be fought on the grounds of the International Polo Club Palm Beach for the Semifinal of the 112th US Open Polo Championship. Polo fans gathered from all corners of the world (and I can say this with certainty as just my little squad span nationalities from Brazilian, to French and all the way down under to...
The sun was high and so were our spirits as we were heading out to the Dubai Polo and Equestrian Club to attend the second British Polo Day (BPD) event this year (the first one was the previous Saturday in Abu Dhabi). I invited my friend Nastasia to join me and as the driver sped down Sheikh Zayed Road I gave her a little lesson on what polo is all about and how to follow the game. The day before...
Once again I had the absolute pleasure of attending the BPD Abu Dhabi event. The settings were magical and elegant, beautifully dressed women and men sipping glasses of champagne, exactly how everyone imagines a day at polo to be. It is no secret that I am a huge fan of British Polo Day, the concept behind these events is to unite Brits living abroad and locals for a fun day of polo, creating a relaxed setting for interaction and...
A few weeks ago I had a magical experience in the City of Angels. I was invited to the 6th annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, a very popular polo event held only twice a year, in NYC and in LA. Pretty dresses, bubbly rosé champagne and an exciting polo match with the star of polo Nacho Figueras made for a perfect Saturday afternoon in the historic Will Rogers Polo Club.
The La Martina flagship store in London on Jermyn street is a place where Argentinian polo tradition meets classic British tailoring tradition. On my last trip to London I finally had the opportunity to go in for a visit (on my own initiative to see the shop and share this story, La Martina has not sponsored this post). Martin, the store manager, welcomed me to the lovely store and told me the story behind this particular La Martina location. La...
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. I must say that one of my favorite parts of this day was to people-watch and look at...
Some fun things are coming up and I am super excited to share it with you guys! So it obviously involves a lot of polo and a bit of flying as well, you know my usual #FlyingForALiving and #TravelingForPolo. In a few days I will be getting on a huge Emirates A380 heading to London! It is always fun being a passenger on Emirates and I hope I meet some of my ex-colleagues in the skies. I will be in...
I am so excited because Chestertons Polo in the Park is right around the corner, happening on 5th, 6th and 7th of June in Central London at the Hurligham Park in Fulham. This is really one of my favorite social polo events of the year, as I also mentioned in my post Polo for the People. My best friends and I have been there the past two years and we will be there this year again, which is so special, because...
