This past Saturday I was lucky enough to attend the 4th edition of the Veuve Clicquot Masters Polo which always takes place at the exquisite Val de Vie Estate over in Paarl.
This really is the one event I look forward to every year…
It’s elegance all the way with flowing French champers (a la Veuve), tasty food, beautiful people, beautiful fashion and just generally a fantastic day out.
This year (as with previous years) they went all out to create the perfect setting for a top class day of polo fabulousness, and as guests we felt spoilt all the way.
But before we get down to the “who’s who” in attendance and all that good stuff, let me first show you around:
How do you like my ride?
Amazing right? And of course I have to mention the beautiful polo ponies as well:
Doing their thing…
Now on the fashion side of things, I really loved all the bold colours and prints, the touches of pretty lace and the overall picture of style that both the ladies & gents put out. People on the scene included the following gorgeous folks:
Actress Carishma Basday with Sue Duminy (wife of cricketer JP Duminy)
Fashion Blogger Clouds Drummond getting a kiss from designer Jacques Lagrange, the man behind her look for the day.
Grazia SA’s Best dressed couple winners – Luxo.co.za’s Elrico Bellingan with his lovely muse Ritza
Actress Natalie Becker. Really loved that dress…

The day’s activities also included a fashion show by fashion house D’Oré:
Thanks to Vivid Luxury for these great photos…
After telling us that we’d only be feeling a very slight tingling sensation, we were all squealing “You wear this every day?! It burns, it burns!” She must be superhuman… we all agreed… slight tingling sensation my @ss…
I have to say a BIG thank you to the team at Vivid Luxury who hosted this fabulous event. High fives all round and a big cheers to doing this all again next year.

So elegant, posh vibez. That royal was made for you and love the hint of gold.
Ah thank you so much! It was a very last minute dress save by a friend. But I felt comfortable in it which was the main goal. xxx
Bless that friend.
