Day 3. Business and cultural promotion in Texas

13 March

Crown Princess Mary already enjoyed two days in both Austin and Houston, Texas.

The finial day has come. In the morning she arrived to attend the launch of a health care collaboration between Texas and Denmark. It took place at Texas Medical Center. That is the world's largest hospital with more than 100,000 employees working with leading treatment programs. Multiple opportunities to collaborate was discussed as part of the launch. The Crown Princess also got a chance to meet with CEO of Texas Medical Center, William McKeon.

A couple of hours later, Crown Princess Mary arrived to attend the conference CERAWeek about energi. Several Danish companies participated the conference along with the Crown Princess. At CERAWeek solutions were shared and discussed by all the participating companies, scientists, politicians, etc. The Crown Princess also entered the stage herself and held a speech.

In the afternoon, she attended the opening of 'Statecraft: Selections from the Jewelry Collection of the Danish Arts Foundation' at Houston Center for Contemporary Crafts. The exhibition shows a unique collection from the Danish Arts Foundation from mid 20th century till today.

From what I see, it looks like the Crown Princess really enjoyed her last day. From early morning till late afternoon she was one big smile. My guess is that she had some wonderful days in Texas. About a month from now she is joined by her husband on a trip to South Korea. I already look forward to another trip abroad.

I have been surprised over and over again during her stay in Texas. She has worn so many incredible and stylish outfits from the very first day. Lots of new pieces of clothes and old goodies. Taking a look at her last-day-outfit I have to go with this as my favourite. Love the match of colours, silhouettes and textures. Mary embraced the style by wearing a brand new dotted blouse and a fitted light blue pencil skirt. Heaven managed to identified the new blouse as Munthe. Think it got a cool 70s vibe featuring puffed sleeves. Heaven also found Mary's new blue skirt. She identified it as Hugo Boss (collection: BOSS). This I am crazy about. Wish I had one myself. Looks really great with the light fabric blouse.

This is one of the most complete outfits I think we have seen in a very long time. She looks comfortable and confident. The accessories also matched with great perfection. Mary styled her look with matching Pomellato earrings and a ring in gold with blue stones. Smashing. I also see a golden Cartier bangle and a Dulong Fine Jewelry bracelet. The two other ones are troubling. Let me know what you think. Quidam is the designer of her beautiful leather clutch. Time has proved that Prada created those incredible pumps. Mary won my heart with this outfit.

Day 2. 'United Nations General Assembly' in New York

Monday, September 24th

Day two and the Crown Princess had a long day ahead of her. First she arrived to attend the opening of the new office of Henning Larsen architects in New York. She was one big smile right. Her opening a new office was followed by her participating the event Concordia Summit. This was organized by the International Center for Research on Women - leading in research on gender and equality. The Crown Princess also spoke as part of the International Center for Research on Women Ledership Council at the event focusing on empowerment on women.

Crown Princess Mary was also invited to participate the event Protecting the Health and Rights of Women and Girls Affected by Conflict arranged by United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). Once again she attended as patron of UNFPA. On the same occasion she took part of a meeting with the United Nations Population Fund's Executive Director, Dr Natalia Kanem.

I truly believe it was a lucrative and enriching day for the Crown Princess attending all these almost educational meetings, receptions and events. Impressive to see her in action. Looks like she was born to do this. I imagine these conferences are a great way to learn and get a chance to know more.

I am also impressed how she manage to keep up both looking absolutely stunning and work all day. For sure you know the struggle: keeping perfect all day with makeup and clothes. I find it hard sometimes. I haven't got the trick yet, do you?

Second day in New York. Mary showed up at the opening of Henning Larsen architects new office wearing a brand new dress. Both Sarah and Heaven managed to identify her new printed dress as Hugo Boss. At first I was not crazy about it. The print and all that fabric kinda disturbed me. Then I took another look, and another look... I have come to like it a bit more. Maybe without the black Prada jacket I'd like it more. Nevertheless Mary looks so comfortable and relaxed in what she is wearing. That is what really matters. She embraced the style wearing earrings (and a brand new golden bracelet) from Dulong Fine Jewelry, a Cartier bangle and her green Valentino's.

At dinner time her day was not over just yet. There was one more event to attend - a very special evening reception entitled 'Denmark: It's more than a small country - It's a BIG idea'. The Crown Princess arrived in a splendid mood and it stayed that way all evening. Also Prime Minister, Lars Lykke Rasmussen was in a great spirt when attending.

Crown Princess Mary also had a job to do during the evening. She was suppose to present and hand over a prestige prize - the Prince Henrik Export Prize. It was given to the company of Ilse Jacobsen.  Congratulation with the fine prize. I am sure it is well deserved. This was also a propose of the event; to show support to Danish companies and strengthen the relations between the United States of America and Denmark. Not to forget the importance of the development of the United Nations Worldgoal on sustainability and sustainable solutions.

I hoped for something new for the evening reception and that is exactly what I got. Mary wore a new floral printed blouse featuring some incredible details around neck and wrists. I am not quite sure about the print and colour, such as its top part. Let me know how you would describe it. Its details are pretty amazing. Fortunately it has now been identified as Munthe - a Danish designer. The blouse will be available in January and it is from their SS19 collection.

She matched this new blouse with black trousers, her Céline belt (also worn the day before, here) and reused old Christian Louboutin pumps. Pretty detail that she matched blouse and shoes with such perfection. Other than this she embraced the style with new earrings as well. Jewlscph has kindly confirmed that Mary's earrings are their design. I also see some kind of black shawl and her lovely Carlend Copenhagen clutch.

Overall she looks just beautiful. Her hairstyle amazed me greatly. It is simple, yet a stunning accessory to complete the rest of the look. The same goes with her makeup.
