Day 1. Business and cultural promotion in Texas

11 March

During the day

A couple of months ago it was announced that Crown Princess Mary was going on a business and cultural promotion visit in Austin and Houston, Texas, USA. Now it was time for the american people to welcome the very own: Crown Princess of Denmark. The visit last from March 11-13th.

I guess she arrived that Sunday evening to be ready for the following days activities in Austin. Monday morning Crown Princess Mary arrived to House of Scandinavia, which is a pop-up lounge that brings together activities that are based on Nordic sustainable solutions. Here she attended an early meeting entitled 'Women in Leadership & How to Inspire the Nest Generation of Women Leaders' with propose to women leaders potential as rolemodels. The Crown Princess was accompanied by among others Danish Minister of Culture, Mette Bock, the Danish ambassador in the United States, Henrik Hahn Brahmsen and EU Commissioner, Margrethe Vestager.

Crown Princes Mary also attended the worlds most important festival South by Southwest or SXSW. This is the festival to go to for tech, film, gastronomy and art. More than 280,000 people don't lie, right? And then it all takes place in Austin. Denmark was this year also a significant representative at the festival.

What an outfit. What a start. Mary dazzled in a great combination of both new and old pieces. I am sure you noticed her new blue and green coat right away. So did I. Do you like it? Think it got some kinda exciting vibe. Heaven managed to identify Mary's brand new coat as Baum und Pferdgarten. A designer we have not seen in quite awhile. She matched the new coat with fitted black trousers and a reused black blouse. Both pieces are still not identified. Or at least not by me.

She embraced the style by wearing lots of stunning jewellery, such as other smashing accessories. Katerina Pitzner is the designer of her that infinity diamond necklace. Beautiful work. Luckily I've got a closeup showing Mary's jewellery. I am able to tell you about four or her five worn bracelets. She is an expensive lady with all that golden bracelets. One is from Cartier and the three others are created by Dulong Fine Jewelry. The fifth diamond bangle could be an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen design, here. But Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen is for sure the one who made the two diamond rings.

Nina Ricci designed Mary's lovely green cross-shoulder bag. Mary has also worn it a a clutch on a few others occasions prior to this one. Heaven suggested to me that her new chunky heel pumps are from Jimmo Choo and I think she hit homerun. For a long time I wanted to add a similar pair of shoes to my wardrobe, but somehow Mary makes it work way better than I do. Now I them even more.

Meeting the Governor

Around noon Crown Princess Mary was officially welcomed by Texas Governor, Greg Abbott and his wife in the governor's residence. Seems like it was a true pleasure for all three of them to meet. The Crown Princess was one big smile such as Greg Abbott was. I am sure the Governor and his wife were happy to welcome the Crown Princess and tell her little about Texas.

An hour or so later she experienced the performance 'Tow with the Flow' that focuses on over-consumption and sustainability in clothing production and fashion. The performance shows 17 custom-made suits prepared by the Scandinavian design studio Sur Le Chemin.

Before attending a late reception Crown Princess Mary was present at Nordic Music Showcase. Five Nordic bands performed presented by the Danish music festival Roskilde Festival. The Crown Princess opened it all with a speech.

Meeting the Governor and his lovely wife, Mary was beautifully dressed in a brand new dress. One day has almost passed and we already got so many new (stunning) pieces. It was found at Moss and Spy by Heaven. Do you remember her wearing another Moss and Spy dress? It was on a visit to Seattle in 2018, here. Incredible work.

This time in Texas she embraced the style with wonderful nude leather pumps from Prada. We have often seen her wear these pointed pumps with colorful dresses as on February 28th, when she presented the ElieForsk Awards 2019, here. Nude accessories and bright colored clothes are a match made in heaven. That is also why I love that she wore a nude ostrich clutch from Naledi Copenhagen. As earlier the same day Mary shone with golden bracelets from both Cartier and Dulong Fine Jewelry, who also created that impressive diamond earrings. Her incredible hairstyle is also worth noticing.

Reception

The Crown Princess ended a long first day in Texas by attending a reception at House of Scandinavia.  She arrived like a princess in a Hollywood movie. Walking most elegantly down the stairs at the event in Austin. All attendances enjoyed a reception with lots of cultural performances from among others Denmark. These Danish participants are participating South by Southwest. Crown Princess Mary pared a visit to the festival earlier the same day.

A long finally came to an end and it was time for the Crown Princess to get a long night's sleep

What Mary wore at the reception at House of Scandinavia reminded me a lot of something Queen Letizia of Spain would wear. She really surprised me with what she was wearing. Keep it simple, yet super elegant and classy. Mary rocked that black and white outfit. Both the black embellished blouse and that crispy white blazer are brand new pieces in her wardrobe. So far I have not been able to find any of them yet. The blazer reminds me of something from Alexander McQueen, but that is guesswork at the moment. Her new embellished blouse got a lot in comment to an old creation from By Malene Birger worn in an interview with Australian Women's Weekly from 2004, here. Don't you think? With the embellishment and fringes?

She caught everybody's attention with a rather large ring, golden bracelets and of course that new calm shell earrings. A good friend of mine recognized them right away as Rebekka Notkin. A Danish  jewellery brand. Think she is wearing a black Carlend Copenhagen clutch and matching pumps from Pura Lopez.
