Summer made a joyful comeback at the recent Cartier International Polo. Everywhere we looked, ladies sizzled in bright summer dresses whilst the gentlemen kept their cool in open-necked shirts and vibrant chinos. Yes, half the crowd wouldn’t have looked amiss in a Jack Wills promo, whilst the other half curiously seemed to have arrived straight from The Only Way is Essex, but it did make for some
quality people-watching. Where else can you spot the novelist Jilly Cooper speeding past on a golf buggy, only to then rub shoulders with Spencer from Made in Chelsea (if possible, even slimier in the flesh than on TV). When I wasn’t spying on the crowd, the polo itself was alright viewing too, I suppose. England was a class act, triumphing over the Brazilian team 8-6 to win the Coronation Cup (cue an obligatory royal cameo from the Duke of Edinburgh, poor show from Kate and Will). Afterwards, Chinawhite provided the party, and although the bar may have been overpriced (seriously, a tenner for a small glass of wine?) Swedish House Mafia ensured the dancing went on well into the night.
Fabulous. and i even feature in the picture (don't you be slagging off spence though miss paul - he looked pretty fiine)
