Royal Ascot may have wrapped for 2016 but the Qatar Goodwood Festival - popularly known as as Glorious Goodwood - is just around the corner.
Featuring Al fresco film season is here! The exciting open air...
Glass of champagne in hand, we’re getting ready to watch the classic comedic fantasy The Princess Bride, one of the many cult films on offer from The Luna Cinema this summer. Our event hosts The Luna Cinema really know how to pick the perfect venue. With over 150 screenings of film favourites such as Pretty Woman, Jaws and Die Hard (and many more) playing at some of the country's most beloved and prestigious venues. Locations this year range from historical stately homes to medieval castles, famous racecourses and majestic palaces – in addition to more urban settings such as the rooftop of London’s One New Change, next to St Paul’s Cathedral in the heart of The City, where The Sybarite enjoyed an evening. Relax in the open air as the sun sets from dusk to dark at venues such as Ascot Racecourse, Blenheim Palace, Kew Gardens or Kensington Palace.
Event of the Week for Sybarites: Oscars 2016 Parties
There’s no doubt that the Oscars left us with many memories. Chris Rock’s monologue was epic and Leonardo DiCaprio snapped up his first Oscar. We have handpicked the best after-parties for you; Elton John's annual Oscars bash attended by our brand ambassador in West Hollywood and the world-famous Vanity Fair afterparty at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills. The 88th Academy Awards may not have pulled in the viewing numbers but it made history in many other ways and the parties were legendary.
Event of the week for Sybarites: BRIT Awards 2016
Best: Adele dedicates her award to Kesha in her battle against SONYAdele became the queen of the evening after picking up four awards - and joining the number of stars raising their voices to back Kesha. When receiving the first award, Best British Female Solo Artist, she first thanked her team for letting her embrace the fact that she is a woman then said 'I would like to take this moment to publicly support Kesha'. The speech was based on the fact that the New York Supreme Court denied Kesha to exit her contract with the record label, despite the allegations that she has been sexually assaulted by one of its producers. Worst (?): Justin Bieber forgets his lyricsThe performance itself was many viewers’ favourite. Though, the most dedicated Beliebers noticed and became outraged over the fact that the star got the words to his number one single "Sorry" mixed up. According to us at The Sybarite, Justin Bieber has nothing to be sorry about.
Event of the Week for Sybarites: Grammy Awards 2016
Best: Taylor Swift putting Yeezy back in his placeCountry singer turned pop princess Taylor Swift had something to say when she picked up her award for Best Album, and it was very obviously directed at one man in particular, Mr Kayne West. In response to a rather arrogant lyric claiming he made Taylor ‘famous’, Taylor chose the moment of receiving her Grammy to correct any of those who were ill-informed by her fellow musician. Hell hath no fury and all that… Worst: Sir Paul McCartney“How VIP do we gotta get?” was the exact response from music legend and Beatles superstar Sir Paul McCartney. It appeared that at an after-party hosted by rapper Tyga, Sir Paul and his party were unduly turned away from the door, as the bouncers weren’t sure as to who they were. The American rapper seemed unfazed by the occurrence, claiming that it is was in fact all a ‘mix-up’ from the Beatles’ lead singer. One thing is for sure, if Sir Paul can’t gain access to a high-profile Grammy afterparty, if there any hope for the rest of us?
Event of the Week for Sybarites: amfAR New York Gala 2016

Featuring Luxury meets history in the heart of Venice
From cabarets to banquets, masked balls to classical concerts, the city comes to life in a celebration of Italian culture. The global appeal of Venice continues to grow but it still remains one of the most unspoilt cities in Europe, with its beautiful piazzas and winding canals. And now there is a new reason to visit the city, and maybe never leave again, after paying a visit to the new luxury apartments recently developed and now on the market. The importance of preserving the city’s oldest buildings has been honoured in the award winning development of Palazzo Molin, a 15th Century palace, into eighteen individually designed apartments. Classic Venetian architecture has been combined with contemporary design and facilities to create a modern haven in a traditional space. The facade of the palace has not been altered, it still showcases the Gothic Fiorito style which is widely celebrated for its artistic importance.

Vertu For Bentley phone debuts At Goodwood And Pebble beach
The latest release is ‘Signature for Bentley’ which has been designed with Bentley’s Mulsanne Speed in mind. Why the Mulsanne Speed I hear you ask? Vertu’s Signature is a delicate slim mobile phone with a carbon fibre pillow and if you are fortunate enough to have driven or seen the Mulsanne Speed, it’ll be obvious that the model has a similar carbon weave design pattern. The stainless steel sides of the phone are also reminiscent of the control knobs on the luxury car and the Beluga Black calf leather casing gives it an extra layer of exceptional quality. The range will be on display at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed which takes place from the 25th to the 28th of June and the Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance in August.

Sign up for life drawing classes, race ferrets (if that’s your thing) or check into a massage tent if it’s pampering you’re after.
