Our contributing photographer, Eva Espresso, known for her jet-set lifestyle and fashion photography, gives us a glimpse into the social scene at the St Moritz Snow Polo World Cup There are few more dramatic and beautiful sporting backdrops than the glistening mountains of St Moritz – the spectacular surrounds of the annual St Moritz Snow Polo World Cup, which is played on a frozen lake. And, when the private planes of refined guests land just in time to enjoy the decadent mi

Vulnerability might as well be an expletive for men. Everything in us tells us that vulnerability is weakness. My father and I had our biggest fallout when I was 17. Weeks after that fallout, I remember seeing him cry for the first time. What did that do to me as a young adult? My father, being the premier Alpha male man in my life, made me think crying was an emotion that men didn’t use. “Stop crying. Why are you always crying? Look at the cry baby…” However, crying is a hum

February is a month when we have a day dedicated to expressing our love for another individual. Whether that be a beloved partner or a longtime crush, love is expressed through various means: gifts, flowers, and extravagant meals, to name just a few. While these options provide joy and happiness, buying gifts and going out to nice dinners every night might burn a hole in your wallet. Forging strong connections with those around you does not have to come from material items, y

Just to preface, these last two years of living in the pandemic have not been about taking risks, in fact, quite the opposite: many of us are so risk-averse that we still only make trips out of the house for essential goods and services. Travel is still greatly hindered and monitored and borders that were once free are tightly controlled to reduce the risk of transmission during a pandemic. Most of us have now felt that letdown - the annual social gatherings with faraway frie

As an amateur vinophile, I relish reading Cezar’s contributions in Polo Lifestyles. This month, his focus on Mexico pulled my heart strings as I gained a deep appreciation and love for Mexican wines when I was working in Mexico City and traveling to other parts of the country. Yes, I feel in love with tequila as well, but that's for another time. His column also spurred my desire to share the similarities between the centuries of winemaking in Old Mexico with those of New Mex

Mexico has one of the world’s oldest and culturally rich heritages. The Aztecs and the Mayans lived there after all. Their historic legacy has been passed on through centuries and has remained a big part of the present. It is visible in the country’s traditions, everyday customs, art, food, and drink. From Baja California to the Yucatan, Mexico offers an astonishing diversity of landscape, fauna, flora, and cultural sophistication. When one thinks of Mexico and its tasty liba

It is not often one comes across an artist whose work is undeniably contemporary, progressive and original, yet still firmly underpinned and informed by 20th century art movements of revolutionary old masters such as Picasso, Modigliani and Gauguin. Olivia’s paintings, and indeed the artist herself, are reminiscent of a golden age where artists were daring, bold and inventive, in search of new perspectives, greater freedom, and a simplicity that is the purity and essence of l

Blind items… what even are they? Incredulous gossip? Fan fiction? Or are they cold hard facts about the ins and outs of Hollywood and all the people in it? The truth is, they’re a little bit of all those things — and it’s up to you to decide what your take is on them. Blind items are short excerpts of celebrity gossip that use clues rather than names when talking about the item’s subjects. For example, you may read, “This foreign-born, A-list singer…” and be talking about Jus

March 26th is the iconic Diana Ross’ birthday, and befitting of her status as an international star, she receives lots of congratulatory messages on social media. Those that stand out the most are from her five children. Diana Ross and her children have amassed millions of followers on social media over the last several years. In truth, their individual accounts are some of the most beautiful and healthy spaces on social media. The support the siblings show each other and the

Anyone who chanced upon Jeff Bezos’ selfies aboard a luxury yacht in St-Barths earlier this month would have been forgiven for doing a double take. In mirrored heart-shaped shades and a silk shirt so tight it might have been tattooed on to the 57-year-old’s torso, the Amazon boss looked more like US rapper Pitbull than the one-time monobrowed tech nerd who achieved global domination in a pair of high-waisted beige chinos. But it was the stunning brunette wrapped around him on
