THE STYLE LIST

THE SUMMER SEASON

Well well style lovelies I am sorry I am a little late with my blog this week I have been busy with my clients getting ready for the Summer Season which is now upon us. Yes it is and to prove it we actually have sun. I cannot get excited about The Season until I have a wee glimpse of sunshine however as you are reading this it is probably reverted to the rainy season once again.
As I have been styling my clients ready for prestigious events I thought this week I would share my favourite and not so favourite events of the summer. Anyone can go to these events you do not have to be formally invited and the prices range from very affordable to downright ludicrous !

IN STYLE............

Me and Hilary Alexander at Royal ascot

Well as I am an Ascot girl I have to start with ROYAL ASCOT races although some aspects of this event can be so not stylish in the main I do enjoy this event . I have been attending for 20 Years in The Royal Enclosure which has a strict dress code and a more refined ambience. Royal Enclosure Badge holders may take guests on Fridays and Saturdays, I always seem to have a lot of 'besties' at this time. Tuesday by far the best day, avoid Ladies Day (thursday)  very uncouth.18th-22nd June 2013

Boodles

Another favourite event is THE BOODLES TENNIS TOURNAMENT+ at The Stoke Park Club. Unfortunately as it is the warm up to Wimbledon it is held the same week as Royal Ascot (18-22 June). But this event is so much better and more intimate than Wimbledon and tickets start from £45 but can increase to £450 to include lunch with the players. The event attracts world class players Djokovic has just confirmed his attendance. I have been going to this event since the launch several years ago. Superstylish day out.
MINT POLO IN THE PARK+ is another event I have been attending since its conception a few years ago. 7,8,9 June. A fabulous day out weather permitting. Mahiki bar and Veuve Clicquot bar, great shopping and the polo is more exciting to watch as they play Hurlingham rules which are quicker and simpler to understand.                                                                           

Me at Hurlingham Polo

A standard ticket without hospitality is only £20 or £5 after 5pm!! Really good day but please style followers DO NOT dress as though you were going to Ascot this is a dress down day. NO Fascinators purleeeeez !!

RUN A MILE....................

Pretty Boys at Henley Regatta

HENLEY REGATTA yawn yawn boring boring lots of standing around. Give this a miss and go to the much more stylish HENLEY FESTIVAL great music and food. Although the men do look stylish at this event the ladies always seem to get it so wrong.

Give it a miss

 WIMBLEDON although I love to play tennis this is an event much better on the television then for real. You miss the running commentary and you can get to see several matches at once. Unless you have Mens Final tickets serve an ace and stay at home with a bowl of strawberries and cream and watch it from your sofa. I have not been to this event for a couple of years but it was infinitely less stylish than I imagined.

There is a whole host  of summer events to attend. Check out my previous blogs for the whole summer calendar 2013. Have fun and come and say hallo if you see me out there I will be taking photographs for best and worst dressed of the season lets hope you make it onto the right list style setters. LOVE YOU LOTS XXXX
