Birthday Party in London

September, 9th

Crown Princess Mary attended a 50 years birthday party in London at one of her private friends, Søren Jensen. The party's theme was The Great Gatsby from the 1920s.

That one time we'll see Mary in 20s inspired evening clothes and she did pretty well. Covered in black sequins and creamy silk Mary was styled perfectly to the 20s birthday at the birthday party in London. She attended the birthday on her own. The 1920s was a very special decade of history, filled with jazz music and swing dressed featuring low waistlines and headbands with everything from feathers to crystals. The way she embrace the style was absolutely smashing! Because we never see her in such dresses I assume she borrowed it, maybe at the exclusive vintage store FN92 in Copenhagen but it is just guesswork. Not only the dress was vintage inspired, the jewellery - a long black pearl necklace, a silver bracelet and the most dazzling headband - completed the outfit to make her a Queen of the 20s party. I assume she wore a pair of t-strap shoes identified by Kate as Ralph Lauren Collection (Spring 2010), the hottest shoes in the 20s, and then she wore her feather clutch from Jayson Brunsdon. This style, is it something you would like to see her wear more often?

Mary went from dressed in Jimmy Choo pumps to barefoot when she visited the mosque. Before she visited the mosque she enjoyed the view at the sea, wearing her blue BOSS Hugo Boss blazer and a new skirt with a yellow and blue stripe. A reader told me that she has been seeing it from the Danish designer Elise Gug, but I can not confirm it. In her colourful clothes she shone next to the pretty large mosque Hassan II in Morocco. The Danish Princess wore a beautiful pink scarf and took her shoes off before she went into the sacred building. I think Mary was amazed by the mosque when she got the change to see it inside. Several times she raised her head and looked around to see the overwhelming building. This is her last day in Morocco.The visit was an attempt to show some of the places Denmark is to help in Morocco when it comes to women who have suffered of violence most of them in their marriage. As the president of the Mary Foundation, Mary work with this issue in Denmark. It is one of her work areas. 

The stay has last for only three days but she has had the change to meet women and children who had help from one of the countries shelters. Those who work to give those mothers a new and better life without violence. I think it has been a eye-opening experience for both the Crown Princess and those who met her. In the future I hope Mary will work to help more women in Denmark and abroad, countries like Morocco.  I'm pretty sure we will. Thanks for following Mary with me at the trip to Morocco.

Day 2: Visit to Morocco

September, 3

Progam
  • 9:00 am. Visiting the Danish Embassy
  • 10:40 am. Visiting UAF Center (Union de L'Action Féminine) for women victims of violence
  • 11:55 am. Visiting the Court of Temara
  • 1:00 pm. Lunch
  • 3:14 pm. Visit at the LLDF Women's Center

Mary began her day at the Danish Embassy where she had a meeting with Zhor El Horr, lawyer and retired judge, and Rabea Nacri, spokeswoman of the organization ADFM (Association Démocratique des Femmes du Maroc). Following she visited the UAF (Union de L'Action Féminine) a centre for women victims of violence. According to KVINFO more then 62% of Moroccan women have been victims of violence and about 55% of these women are married. This is one of the reasons why Mary have interested in the work between Denmark and Morocco. With her found she she is working to combat domestic violence in the home, something she's been working on in Denmark for quite some years. The UAF want to increase the capacity of shelters and crisis centers in Morocco. Mary met everyone with a smile. She shook hands with hundred of children and women on her second day. I find it life-affirming and wish I could help others as much as Mary does.

Later, Mary visited the family court in Temara. In collaboration with KVINFO a special reception area is made for these women. The Moroccan Ministery of Justice did in 2011 launched a initiative to tackle all this violence especially against women. To know that Mary use her person to help and increase the knowledge to help these women is incredible. Luckily she's not the only one trying to find a solution to all this. So many wants to help the women and give them a better life with their children. On KVINFO's webpage is this statement from Mary. She is a very eloquent woman with her heart the right place:
"My visit to Morocco has provided me with an insight of the Danish experience supporting women victims of violence, and which can benefit women in both Morocco and Denmark. The Danish-Moroccan collaboration is an excellent example of how dialogue and the mutual exchange of experience across cultural boundaries can strengthen the common cause: ensuring women the right to a life free of violence."
Wearing a plain white pencil skirt and a navy blue peplum Mary was dressed so beautifully. The colourful necklace, Marianne Dulong (?), gave me the impression of Moroccan jewellery. Matched with the aquamarine blue Marianne Dulong earrings and the patent blue pumps from Rupert Sanderson. Chanel is the designer of her old beige handbag. A very classic look.

Day 1: A Visit to Morocco

September, 2

 Crown Princess Mary visits Morocco as patron of the Mary Foundation (Mary Fonden). With this visit Crown Princess Mary wants to focus on women's rights and the project of combating violence against women.

Program
  • 3:10 pm. Visiting the city Rabat

2013 has to be the year when Mary is going international. A few months ago she was visiting Jordan to meet the some of the countries many refugees who are now living in one of their camps. September is here and she's working for women rights and combating violence with her foundation, the Mary Foundation, in Morocco. What a mouthful. It makes me so proud to have her as Crown Princess of my homeland.

At her first day Mary stayed in the city of Rabat in Morocco where she visited the overwhelming Mausoleum of Mohammed V. This specific monument is a historical building on the opposite side of Hassan Tower. The mausoleum contains the tombs of the Mocorran King and his two sons King Hassan II and Prince Abdallah. Its green tiled roof is significant because green is the colour of Islam, looking stunning with the plain white mausoleum. Hassan II was buried there following his death in 1999, 28 years after the finishing constructions in 1971. When I saw the pictures of the magnificent building I was immediately amazed by its beauty and grace. After I read a little about the mausoleum I find it even more interesting. I have something with things history, makes me fell closer to what I see, hear and touch. I'm sure Mary had the same felling when she was standing there; to see it all live.  An honor for her to be invited to see this sacred place.

Once again I'm convinced why Mary is such an inspiration to me because with her beauty and elegance she moved all attention from herself to the special building. Yes, she was in the center of it all but without actually receiving the attention that was given to her. With her printed, reused, By Malene Birger (collection 2006)maxi-skirt and black Baum und Pferdgarten cardigan she looked like a Moroccan princess. A Scandinavian princess styled like a Moroccan princess. I'm pleased to see her in the maxi-skirt again. It was worn by her back in 2006 and 2010. The cardigan has also been seen before on a visit to Australia. A casual look for her first day in Morocco. She added a pair of black ballet flats, Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses by Madonna and diamond Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen Love Bands rings.
