the BMW International Polo Series, against a touring international team, is played in august each year. the first test (always on a sunday) is played at shongweni, near durban and the second test (played a week later) is played in johannesburg. this year, the polo has a new home and is moving from inanda club to the spacious waterfall polo park in sunninghill. the new venue is believed to be stunning and beautifully laid out and consists of three polo fields (2 of which will be used for parking) and many other facilities. for more information on ticket prices, programme of events and directions to the venue, please visit www.sapolo.org.za
this event will be the perfect time to showcase spring fashion... so i've put together my ESSENTIAL ITEMS for the polo and have sourced some pictures from the very prestigious veuve clicquot polo series held at the liberty state park in new jersey NY, which took place on the 2nd of june 2012. enjoy!
until next time...

tumi's polo essentials...
- pretty dress/skirt
- ankle length cigarette pants/jeans in a nude or bright colour
- cute embellished or leather shorts (for those with lovely pins)
- a pretty blouse or top (tribal and scarf prints will be hot this spring/summer)
- wide brimmed hat/fedora
- sunglasses (round or cat eye will be trending this spring, but you can't go wrong with classics and aviators)
- light scarf (plain or in a bold print)
- comfortable but stylish shoes (i'm coveting a pair of navy wellies with a yellow bow from joules evedon). ladies, please please please DO NOT wear pencil heels! walking on grass with heels digging into the ground just looks silly, BUT if you must wear heels, they must have a chunky block heel or rather opt for wedges!
- sling bag to keep your bits and bobs
- a stylish leather or canvas tote to hold everything else (small umbrella/light jacket/picnic blanket/camera...etc
- sunscreen (spf 50 and up)
- small brolly
- hydrating facial mist (vichy, evian and crabtree & evelyn are my best)
- wet wipes
- picnic basket with yummy treats and beverages :easy to eat mini sarmies, crackers/cheese...etc/mixed berries and grapes (tip: freeze them to keep them nice and cool), water & juice (tip: also freeze to keep cool for longer) and of course, lots and lots of champagne!
- easy to carry/fold picnic chair
- picnic blanket
- camera to capture all the moments!
