Inauguration of 'Skærbækværket'

Wednesday, October 25th


In the first place Crown Prince Frederik was the one who was invited to attend the inauguration. He had to cancel the appointment to represent Denmark at the cremation ceremony of King Bhumibol of Thailand. Instead he sent his wife. And the Crown Princess was in a splendid mood when she arrived to Fredericia, around noon, attending the inauguration of Skærbækværket, here -a completely new power plant run by green energy. With a press on a huge red the Crown Princess officially inaugurated the new power plant in Frederica. After the ceremony she was given a guided tour around the new facilities wearing a safety- helmet and vest. It was with great interest she was told all about Skærbækværket.



On a cold and windy October day she visited Fredericia to attend the inauguration of a new power plant. For this event she was dressed in a warm and cosy outfit. Mary dazzled in a pair of black trousers, which I believe we have seen a least a couple of times before, a grey turtleneck and a brand new tweed jacket. It has been identified by Royals & Fashion as Erdem x H&M -it's from H&M's latest collaboration with Erdem in store from November 2nd. The jacket comes with a matching skirt as well. A great way to wear a tweed jacket. Actually it is not the first time we see her in these jackets. They seem to be a fall-favourite, especially worn with similar trousers as on Wednesday in Fredericia. I have found a few other outfits here, here, here, here, here & here. How would you style a tweed jacket? I am very much a classy girl, so I think I would style it with matching tweed trousers or pencil skirt. For the perfect everyday look I would wear my black patent leather oxfords. Mary embraced the look by wearing her golden Cartier bracelet, diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and reused Carlend Copenhagen clutch. A friend of mine suggested that she was wearing a pair of new suede ankle boots from Yvonne Knoé. Take a look and tell me what you think. I see great similarities with the ones she's wearing.

Visiting Mali

October 23-24th


The Crown Princess was suppose to visit Senegal along with Minister of Development Ulla Tørnæs during this week, but was canceled last week for security reasons -no one really knows the exact reason for the cancellation. The visit to Senegal had focus on child marriages. Because the visit had been canceled, I think many of you had wished to see the Crown Princess attend the concert held at Fredensborg Castle on Tuesday hosted by the Queen, here. Am I right? Well, that didn't happen because Crown Princess Mary attended a conference about reproductive health and child marriages in Mali from October 23-24th. Minister of Development Ulla Tørnæs accompanied the Crown Princess in Mali. The Crown Princess met with, among others, Mali's First Lady Keita Aminata Maiga who also attended the conference, which by the way, was organized by UNFPA -the United Nations Population Fund, here.



The visit also gave her a chance to pay a visit to Danish soldiers and several members of the Danish Home Guard under UN peacekeeping mission MINUSMA, here. During her visit at the camp she got a guided tour around 'Camp Bifrost', saw a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft from inside, here, and enjoyed a meal with the deployed soldiers. As last agenda the Crown Princess gave a speech, which I imagine was an honest and honoring speech right from her heart.

    Let's not forget what all this was about: reproductive healthcare, the fight against child marriages as well as girls and women's rights. Nevertheless, Mary wore some pretty incredible outfit's during her stay in Mali. In total we got three very different outfits. I haven't been able to figure out exactly when she was attending what -you know if she visited the camp on October 23rd or 24th etc. Still, I would like to pay attention to her clothes for a short moment by mentioning what I have been able to identify so far. It is always a dilemma for me if I should even be mentioning anything about fashion when Mary is working with a committed heart to fight for girls and women's rights such as reproductive healthcare and combat child marriages. Which is why I keep it to a minimum. I hope you understand and respect my decision.

    Day 5. Official state visit to Japan

    Thursday, October 12th



    -Tokyo-
    For four day the Crown Prince couple has visited Japan and the celebrate the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the Danish couple has been in front of a business promotion from October 8-12th. So, Thursday was the last day in Japan. They royal couple spend their last day attending a food- and lifestyle event taking place at the Danish embassy in Japan. The event focused on, among others Danish tradition about furniture and table setting -though I had no idea Danes had traditions about table setting.. at least not very different from any other Scandinavian countries. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary also payed a visit to a school in Funabashi to see for themselves how the school use LEGO as a learning tool. The use of LEGO during teaching is part of the program We Do. Later, the Crown Princess attended Design Walk where she also met several Danish companies working in Tokyo. A rather extraordinary day I you ask me. We got lots of smiles and happy memories to remember.


    Though Mary showed up in a very plain coloured suit during their last days activities in Japan, I have to say I kinda like it. Massimo Dutti came to me right away and with a little help from Heaven, my suspicion became the truth. Mary's new beige linen suit is indeed from Massimo Dutti. Other than the suit she wore a white v-neck blouse, which could be new but I think it's an old one. I think of a blouse from Hugo Boss when I see this. As jewellery she embraced a chic look by wearing two golden necklaces from Orit Elhanati and Georg Jensen, such as Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and a couple of diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. A favourite combination of hers. Love how she managed to bring a plain suit to live with a few sparkly jewellery and her snake skin pumps from Gianvito Rossi. What a combo!

    -Dinner-
    In the evening the Crown Prince couple had two last events to attend before the official state visit in Japan was coming to an end. First the couple arrived to Hotel Gajoen in Tokyo to attend the official celebration of the 150th anniversary I have mentioned quite a few times the last few days. So, is it really necessary mentioning it again? The royal couple met with the Japanese Crown Prince couple who seemed happy to see the Danish Crown Prince and Crown Princess one last time. Also representatives from the Japanese Parliament and Danish companies in Japan participated the reception along with the two Crown Prince couple's. With a few sips of champagne and a speech given by Crown Prince Frederik -Japan and Denmark are ready for another 150 years of good relations.
    As a final event the Danish royal couple attended an official dinner to celebrate the yearlong connection between Japan and Denmark. Members of the Danish business delegation traveling along with the Crown Prince couple were also invited to the dinner where they had a once in a lifetime chance of making new working relations with potential new collaborators.

    Update: On Tuesday DR broadcasted a documentary from the Crown Prince couple's visit in Japan, here. It is in Danish so if you are troubled with the language then enjoy all the lovely footage.



    One last outfit left from a wonderful visit in Japan. She impressed wearing a brand new black floral printed suit from Etro. Heaven is the one who shared this identification with me. I have to say, I have a hard time trying to decide wether or not I like Mary's outfit from the evening event. Got the feeling that it makes her look at bit old, especially because of hairstyle. Don't misunderstand me because I absolutely love the french twist. It is a personal favourite of mine. This time I would really like to hear what you have to say. Go or no go? Still, I like how she embraced that "pyjamas-suit" trend everyone is loving so much. Wether we like the complete outfit or not, Mary had chosen some incredible accessories. Her satin blue Prada clutch and what I strongly believe is pointed Gianvito Rossi pumps. She also dazzled by wearing both earrings and a necklace from Georg Jensen, last seen when the Mary Foundation celebrated its 10th anniversary in September, here. Do you remember her in that new Lasse Spangenberg Copenhagen gown with the drop jewellery?

    Day 4. Official state visit to Japan

    Wednesday, October 11th



    -Tokyo-
    The Danish Crown Prince couple has been visiting Japan for three days so far and on Wednesday the couple attended the official opening of the business promotion taking place at Hotel Gajoen in Tokyo. 55 Danish companies are participating in the event, who also got a change to meet the royal couple. Crown Prince Frederik was the one who officially opened the business promotion with his speech. I haven't read the speech but I am sure he mentioned the close bond between Japan and Denmark, which is also one of the thing celebrated with this state visit -the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Before the Crown Prince attended the presentation of Prince Henrik's Medal of Honor and the Export Association Diploma, the royal couple attended lunch at the Imperial Palace with the Japanese Emperor and Empress as hosts. Meanwhile her husband presented Prince Henrik's Medal of Honor, the Crown Princess met with the participating Danish companies of the business promotion in the meeting area at Hotel Gajoe.


    It is every day you are going to have lunch with the Emperor and Empress of Japan. I would say it takes an outfit just like the one Mary was wearing -a classy white floral printed dress from Vilskenko and matching suede pumps from Gianvito Rossi. I still haven't been able to find the same model but I am in no doubt they are from Gianvito Rossi. The dress was first worn during a visit in USA back in 2016, here. As other accessories she had chosen to wear a lovely blue Quidam clutch seen several times before on many different occasions. Shortly, we also got at glimpse of her Prada handbag as seen two day before, here. Other than the dress, I really enjoy how she mixed and matched previously worn jewellery all over again. Both drop earrings and a few of her bracelets are from Dulong Fine Jewelry, such as a couple of diamond rings are from a Danish company -Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Quite some time ago I mentioned that the golden diamond bracelet (lately worn along with her Cartier bracelet, as she did during day 4) could be from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. I still got that bracelet on my mind but I haven't been able to ID who actually designed it. Have you noticed it? Nevertheless, I love how perfectly the two golden bracelets look together.

    -Dinner-
    After another long day in Japan, the Danish Crown Prince couple ended a wonderful day a the Togu Palace with the Japanese Crown Prince as host. It is not the first time the couple spend time with the Crown Prince of Japan. Also the day before they met when attending an event in the Japanese National Archive, here. All three of them seemed to be enjoying each others company when they met shortly before the dinner was about to take place.


    Honestly, I think we have seen so many incredibly outfit already and we still have one day left to look forward to. When attending dinner in the evening with her husband and the Crown Prince of Japan acted as host, Mary was beautifully dressed in a reused outfit from Jesper Hørving (blouse) and golden embroidered skirt from Prada. I would really like to see skirt matched with another blouse, but these two pieces makes such a great outfit. Which is probably why she has chosen to wear it again. We saw the same combo of clothes when she attended the OECD Forum in Paris, here. Do you remember her outfit from back then? When do you think she wore it better? I go with this one from Japan. Mary embrace the perfect evening outfit by wearing jewellery from both Dulong Fine Jewelry, Cartier and maybe also Orit Elhanati. I will only make a short comment on her jewellery, but I want you to take a look at the fact that I am sure she's wearing silver earrings and the rest of her jewellery is gold. Do you see the same as me? Never really been good a silver and gold jewellery at the same time, but a few years ago I discover how beautifully it looks when matching it all up. She matched the outfit with a pair of burgundy suede pumps from Gianvito Rossi and a brand new clutch, which I haven't been able to identify yet. I got my mind set on J. Furmani, but... I also have a hard time identifying the colour.
