Fashionably Prep Victory Cup Polo

This past Saturday, July 11th was the 10th Annual Victory Cup Polo Match at Beaver Creek Equestrian Center in Patterson, NY.

It was a sold out event with over 1100 people attending the event according to event organizer and former New York State Senator Greg Ball. This year’s event benefited three charities: The Little Babyface Foundation, Purple Heart Homes and the Putnam County SPCA. The event sponsor was Lou Cardillo; owner of Cardillo Real Estate.

Polo fans watched the match, bought art, smoked cigars, drank champagne, shopped at vendor booths and enjoyed a farm to table dinner on the field. Most importantly money was raised to support worth while causes!

It was billed as the Best Party of the Season and for good reason! In addition to fundraising….We must talk about the fashion…and we can’t talk about FASHION without talking about KIEL JAMES PATRICK

Let’s Hear it for the Ladies

Whether you saw this event as the opportunity to get a new Lilly Pulitzer, raid your own closet or took on a shopping spree. It was clear that the must have items were a floppy hat, a mini or maxi dress, and accessories that work well on a warm summer sunny day.

We took to the field and tent and here’s an overview of some of our favorite looks from the ladies.
