Veuve Cliquot at the Polo

The weather turned it on for today's BMW NZ Polo Open.

Although the Veuve Cliquot polo team didn't win, they certainly made us feel welcome, in their marquee awash with signature black and yellow, never-ending flutes of Veuve Cliquot champagne, and celebs, while Hollie Smith performed.

Hollie Smith fille the marquee with her strong and soulful voice accompanied by a keyboardist. Nathan Haines was a guest this year; he played in a jazz back last year. I loved Hollie's dress with black and white geometric print and side cut-outs.

Beautiful weather has us loving the yellow sun umbrellas.
