Learning To Play Polo With Nic Roldan Doesn’t Suck

So while polo is not an entirely mainstream sport, the charity matches with Prince Harry have certainly been getting the word out.

And out here in the Hamptons where I have been hanging all summer, Polo is MAJOR.

The biggest story this year is polo star (and hottie) Nic Roldan, who was captain of Prince Harry’s team when they played a charity match on Governor’s Island a while back in NYC. The newly single Nic (who was born in Argentina, but grew up in Palm Beach)  is not only  gorgeous and talented, but hugely charismatic and just plain cool.

I was lucky enough to have him teach how to play polo—and I can tell you, this was one fun ride!

Robyn Moreno finds awesome vintage dress at Melrose Trading Post in L.A.

I’m in the city of angels for bizness, but as always, I’ve been hitting up the local thrift stores and flea markets to for some wicked finds! I scored big at The Melrose Trading Post flea market located at the Fairfax High School on the corner of Fairfax and Melrose.
The west coast wares ranged from ’60s Hawaiian dresses to the grungy ’90s floral dresses and cowboy boots the kids are favoring these days.

My absolute fave find was this ’70s Indian tunic (pictured to left)— SO boho and in stellar condition.

I’ll be back to show ya more cool finds in a bit—luv from L.A.!!

Ladies rejoice! Now we can look good and KILL it on the waves in the new Cynthia Rowley For Roxy wetsuits!!

I am totally (Blue) crushing—I couldn’t help myself— on these pastel color-blocked shorties!!

I surfed in one at  a Roxy Surf Camp in Montauk a couple of weeks ago and the suit was SUPER cute, comfy, and pretty easy to get on and off—a big deal for wetsuits as you usually have to PEEL them off.

I really like that it’s a shortie as I can wear in cold and warm water, multi-functional and at $225, a killer deal!

They sell ‘em online HERE.

Hang ten, babes! I’ll see you in the water!

I Am A Paddleboard Goddess

So in the world of water sports, stand up paddle boarding has been super popular these last couple of years. To see what all the hype was about, I signed up a for an AWESOME Full Moon Paddle in Sagaponack out here in the Hamptons.

We paddled out from Sagg pond to Sagg Main beach just before sunset, then enjoyed wine and snacks while we watched the sun set and the moon rise—STUNNING.

Our expedition also had an amazing yoga component led by the sexy Jessica Bellofatto of KamaDeva Yoga in East Hampton.

Paddleboarding was seriously SO much fun, and once you got the hang of it, a REALLY rad workout. My core and bum were sore the next day! I totes recommend this for ladies who want to get on the water, but aren’t into getting thrashed about by waves.

To see me KILL it on a paddleboard, click here!

If you’re in the Hamps, check out this site for the next paddleboard excursion, and for elsewhere, I’d just google where you can paddleboard near you—hang ten, dudes!!

DIY Floral Bouquet With Fresh Herbs

Robyn Moreno's DIY floral arrangement with herbs

Robyn Moreno's DIY floral arrangement with herbs

I have been talking about sprucing up store bought flowers with fresh herbs for YEARS, as they smell amazing and give texture and a bit of poshness (if you will) to lame ready made bouquets.  Unwrap the plastic, tie on a sassy ribbon or twine and you, my friend are good to go!

So, I was extra excited when I splurged on a floral arrangement for my dermatologist (the awesome Dr. Doris Day) and they added mint to the arrangements of peonies. How amazingly FRESH in every way! The bright mint added gorgeous color to the bunch and smelled sooooo lovely!

I am about to plant an herb garden, so now I have EXTRA use for my herbs—love it!

In addition to mint, rosemary is a great addition to a bouquet—pretty in its piney-ness, and oh-so-fragrant. Lavender is another exquisite option.

Have you ever used fresh herbs in a bouquet? If so, let me know!

Teepee Chic!

Accommodations at El Cosmico Trailer Park

Accommodations at El Cosmico Trailer Park

Scrolling through nytimes.com, I came across a profile on Texas hotelier Liz Lambert, who’s basically the coolest thing EVAH.

She owns two killer hotels in Austin: The Hotel San José and The Hotel Saint Cecilia and the Hotel Havana in my hometown of San Antonio—yee haw!

But by far, her coolest undertaking is the El Cosmico trailer park in Marfa, Texas.

I’m CRAZY for West Texas — people dig the art scene, but I adore the landscape with its desolate feel and million-star skies. And this “hotel” offers the coolest accommodations from vintage trailers to tricked out teepees and yurts from $60-$125—nice!
