Finally, what we all have waited for the day is finally here when the Netherlands are going to have a new King and Queen - King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima! As I wrote in yesterdays post then I'm sure they'll manage this new 'job' perfectly, they know their role and what to do. They have each other and make a great couple not only as royals but also as husband and wife. I think they are a great match, the way they support each other is worth noticing and I look forward to see how they do it as head of the Netherlands. Long live the King and Queen!


I'm so thrilled of all this, I love to follow such a big day. Usually I'm cleaned to the screen to see every little detail and when I saw the first pictures of Mary... wauw what a look! I have to say that I was also a bit surprised to see her in the white Charlotte Lynggaard dress. First of all I hadn't imagined that she would wear such a dress (well she often surprises me and all of you with her choice of clothes) and the fact that Charlotte Lynggaard designed it. As you might know she's the chef designer of Ole Lynggaard jewellery. I'm amazed by the work she did with the flowers. Original it was created for Elle Style Award's 50th anniversary show. See it here. It was a great show. You'll also see that the dress has changed a bit around the sleeves. Mary borrowed the wonderful dress. Don't you love it?!


She added beautiful pastel colour accessories to the coronation; powder Prada pumps as she wore at yesterdays VIP gala dinner with the stunning Birtgit Hallstein gown such as the knot clutch from Bottega Veneta. The baby blue hairpiece gave her a ultra feminine touch in the combinational with a well done hairdo and three pieces from the Ruby parure. My guess is that milliner Susanne Juul is the creator of the hairpiece. An accessory that made me even more excited is the Ole Lynggaard Flower  Earrings. This is really a masterpiece with the well-placed diamonds in the shape of flowers and leaves. Mary you won my heart with this look!

Well, well. I always have the feeling with Mary that it simply can't get better (I might mentioned this before...) and every time it DOES get better. My passion for Mary always brings me to a stage where I never get tired of her and are always excited to see what combination she'll wear next.


Most men loves the colour red. Red is also a really powerful colour which it also symbolize, at that point I might be a man. I adore that colour! It takes a woman to wear it and either your like it or not. If you're one of these who do not like it I really hope that Mary's dress tonight changed your mind because this wonder you just love. Mary is a small woman who can wear almost everything in the world; from colours to prints to skirts, trousers and evening gowns. With her relatively long legs and thin upper body this is the perfect dress featuring a tight top and the several layer skirt. The stunning evening dress is created by Danish designer Jesper Høvring from his Spring/Summer 2013. In this Mary looked like a true movie star with her large Ruby earrings and ring.

What's better then add some stardust to the powerful red dress, with a silver metallic clutch - not identified - and matching silver Prada pumps featuring powder pink sole and the golden Prada logo!! I'm amazed...

This is a big day waiting for the Crown Prince Couple of the Netherlands tomorrow and for all of us! We can't imagine what thoughts are going through their mind the last few hours as Crown Prince and Crown Princess, of course they know all about how to behave and act but in the future it will be as King and Queen of the Netherlands. Now they have to represent the Netherlands and its people on their own. A duty I'm sure they'll handle very well, with what they have shown so far I know King Willem-Alexander and his wonderful wife Queen Máxima have all it takes to become good representatives for their country. They have also had several years of practice. I came as a surprise to me when I heard the news that Queen Beatrix was abdicate and giving the next generation the throne. But I understand her, she has several years left and why not be there to see once son become King, something you have prepared him for his entire life and she'll also be a great support for them when they have a situation they don't know how to handle, then she'll be able to guide them. I think it's a good decision.


Of course it's even better that Frederik and Mary are attending the ceremony also tonight at the VIP gala dinner for most members of the royal families in Europe. At this exclusive gala dinner plenty of royal members arrived with their husband and wife dressed perfectly for this occasion. Walking on the bright red carpet with each other close Frederik and Mary arrived to the dinner and I have to say Mary showed herself in the best way tonight wearing an all new custom-designed Birgit Hallstein gown featuring the most outstanding details in handmade beadwork on the upper body of the powder pink floor-length dress. It's so beautiful with the long sleeves and lace-like fabric on the top. A belt in the waist made of the same as the skirt gave her a womanly shape. Birgit Hallstein is a great designer who knows who to get the best of women's figure. It was the same designer who made Mary's fantastic wedding dress in 2004. I don't wonder why she chose her to make this special dress!

Mary topped off the outfit wearing her diamond wedding tiara and earrings. The clutch is the iconic Bottega Veneta knot clutch and her powder satin pumps is from Prada. In the combination with the princess-looking gown for me a Queen was born! Next to Frederik in his traditional and classic suit with the black bow tie the won the price as the most magnificent couple of the evening.

Inauguration in New York

April, 25

Crown Princess Mary attended the inauguration of the Trusteeship Council Chamber at the UN (United Nation) building in New York.

Can you believe it, Mary is in New York to inaugurate the Trusteeship Council Chamber in the United Nation's building. I think it's pretty cool we have a Crown Princess that are invited to New York to take part in a inauguration of such an important building like this. Maybe I'm just a bit crazy. The reason for her presence is that the chamber was originally in 1952 by renowned Finn Juhl and he's a famous Danish architect. To have such a great architect as him is a thing to be proud of which Mary might also be. 

Elegant as usal Mary was in some reused pieces yesterday in the most wonderful dark bordeaux colour. Very sophisticated with the wool-blend A-line Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti skirt and a V-neck jacket/top. The skirt was identified years ago but non have been lucky to find any pictures of it until now, Royal Regal on Facebook found it! Back in 2012 when her and Frederik attended the wedding in Luxembourg she wore the jacket with a pencil skirt. Mary added simple (but expensive) jewellery from Marianne Dulong to her bordeaux look and a Rika clutch. Mary is a woman who like things to match therefor it's obvious that she would wear her bordeaux leather Prada pumps.
