Just Another Day At Vancouver's Premiere Al Fresco Event


The grandeur at this year's Pacific Polo Cup somehow managed to eclipse that of last year's fabulous debut event. Hosted at Southlands Riding Club (SRC) with The Vancouver Polo Club, benefitting the SRC, we'd say that the Pacific Polo Cup has well established itself as the city's premiere al fresco event.

The exhibition style polo matches were entertaining for both equestrian
and non-equestrian folk, alike.

This year attendees could choose from three experiences ranging from a casual bring-your-own picnic to a posh, plated lunch catered by Hawksworth Restaurant.

Even the picnics were in keeping with the charming
backdrop of the Sport of Kings.

Of course, the fashion-factor was lost on no one.
Only dainty dresses and dapper gents here.
Lots of horsey fun for all ages!

Music and plenty of bubbly at the Polo Lounge,
sponsored by Veuve Cliquot Champagne.

Whimsical in White:
Kaylie, Susan and Shannon wearing Vancouver-based Jac by JC.

Carte Blanche Boutique was on-hand
to fulfill hat wishes and fascinator dreams.

Best seats in the house: Those fortunate enough to be at a table in the sold-out
Polo Dining Pavilion enjoyed a field-side view.
Lunch in the Polo Dining Pavilion was catered by
Vancouver's award-winning Hawksworth Restaurant.

Quintessential Summer

This is everything.


On the Street...Via dei Cerratani, Florence.
Image via The Sartorialist.

This image immediately conjured up feelings of the perfect summer for me. I love everything about it. The duomo, just barely distinguishable in the background. Is it morning, afternoon? I would like to think, just before dusk. This beautiful woman in the foreground, who is she? It doesn't matter. What matters more is her casual stance and her leisurely demeanor. Her ensemble seems perfectly coordinated to her surroundings. The black, while striking, is softened by the rustic hue of her gelato 'cono' (which matches her tote and sandals perfectly).

How does it make you feel?

Double Rainbow Hues

Thankfully we don't have to go somewhere over the rainbow, to find a plethora of colourful bras. We're feeling a little tired of our nude t-shirt bras now that the sun is out full time.  So here is a sampling of some of the fun and bold bras that you can wear instead right now.  The best part, since it's summer, some of them are even on sale!


L'Agent, Timpa, Fleur of England
Deborah Marquit, Huit, Timpa
Elle MacPherson, Ejerby, Lejaby

What's your favourite colourful bra to wear?

Mad About Mules...

With clean and modern lines, the new mule has become the year's must-have shoe...

Top row (L to R): Gianvito RossiTibi & Zara.
Middle row: Top ShopAlexander Wang & ChloĆ©.
Bottom row: Gianvito RossiTibi & Aquazurra.

I say 'new' because many of us have 'been there, and done that'...but I'm still loving this trend!

Do you have a pair of mules on your top shelf, just waiting to be resurrected?
