Symposium on brain injuries

Monday, October 30th

KongehusetRoyals & FashionFrederik et Mary ● Hjernesagen 1

Crown Princess Mary has acted patron of Hjernesagen, here, since 2007. She has attended several different events since then. On Monday she attended one more -a symposium on research on brain injuries. The Crown Princess arrived to Hotel Vejlefjord in Vejle around noon where she was warmly welcomed with smiles, handshakes and flowers. From front raw the Crown Princess had the best view to the stage, which she was about to enter given her speech. The speech was given in front of participating professionals and other stakeholders in Denmark. The purpose of the symposium was to convey new knowledge about, among others, blood clots and bleeding in the brain. It was with great interest I think the Crown Princess attended the symposium in Vejle on Monday.

Autumn has arrived to Denmark. It is now windy, cold and the trees are almost bare for leaves. This means warm clothes are needed and colours like burgundy, navy blue and mustard are now allowed again. That is exactly what Mary did. She was dressed in her lovely burgundy suit from Elise Gug (AW13). Do you remember we have seen it before? It goes back to 2014 when Mary visited Estonia as chairwoman of the Mary Foundation, here. Loved it then. Love it now. I am very pleased to see her wear the suit again. The colour looks great on hear. When she arrived to the hotel in Vejle she dazzled wearing a reused scarf featuring grey and burgundy colours. I haven't been able to identify the scarf yet, so if you have an idea I'd love to hear from you. Mary then accessorized the outfit by wearing a beautiful brooch also from Elise Gug, a black pearl bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry, a Cartier bracelet and diamond Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen rings. With a little help from one of you I finally managed to see what pair of shoes she was wearing -black snakeskin pumps. The same as when she attended the presentation of Magasin du Nord Fashion Prize 2017, here. At that time I suggested Prada as a possible designer. I still believe it as a possibility but I haven't found the right model yet. What I did see is her grey calfskin Quidam clutch.

Magasin du Nord Fashion Prize 2017

Friday, October 27th



It has been some longs for the Crown Princess lately. On Friday she arrived to Art Gallery Charlottenborg in Copenhagen to attend the presentation of the Magasin du Nord Fashion Prize 2017, here. The Crown Princess was in a great spirit at the arrival and was warmly welcomed. She was about to hand over the Denmark's biggest design prize. The Magasin du Nord Fashion Prize  is given to a young design talents and goes with a scholarship on DKK 500,000 and his/her very own fashion show at Copenhagen Fashion Week. This year the young talent Lærke Andersen received the prestiges prize handed over by the Crown Princess herself. Lærke Andersen, who seemed overwhelmed and very happy at the presentation, gladly talked with the Crown Princess about her visions, ideas and goals in her carrier. The guest of honor also seemed to enjoy the company of her friend Nina Wedell-Wedellsborg, who attended the award show as board member.

A fashion award show takes a well-chosen outfit. Mary showed up in a brand new printed dress that really reminds me of a classy 70s dress. Both when it comes to the fabric, print, colours and silhouette. Even the collar call for a 70s dress. Not that the rest of her outfit reminds my anything of a vintage look -other than the dress. Do you like it? I'd really like to hear your opinion. Seems like Mary wasn't the only one falling in love with this Britt Sisseck dress. Also her attending friend Nina Wedell-Wedellsborg showed up in the exact same dress. Mary embraced the style by wearing a wide navy blue belt, which according to Jennifer is from Max Mara collection. Another blue accessory worn during the fashion event is her Quidam clutch. This means, three days with her beloved clutch, here & here. Great to see how to wear the exact same item in three different ways. It is also wonderful to see her wear the golden Orit Elhanati necklace and white people earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry again. Can't get enough of these stylish accessories. Last piece I need to comment on are the pumps. She has worn them on several different occasions but never been identified. With this picture, here, I strongly believe Prada is the designer we are looking for. Let me know what you think and of course if you manage to find them.

FSR: Denmark's Best CSR Reporting 2017

Thursday, October 26th


The Crown Princess has for quite a few years attended the annual presentation of Denmark's best CSR reporting. She did the same on Thursday. The event took place at Børsen in Copenhagen in the afternoon with the Crown Princess as guest of honor. She arrived in a great mood with a wide smile on her face. It was about to become a better for several Danish companies. First a short but motivating speech from the guest of honor herself and then she handed over prizes to among others VandCenter Syd (water), Palsgaard (food) and five other companies. The big winner of this years best CSR reporting 2017 was Novo Nordisk (medicin). All winning companies were later photographed with the Crown Princess on stage. Over 300 attended the event and award ceremony.



For years I have hoped to see her wear this specific outfit again. Because we have actually seen in wear this outfit before. Do you recall then? I fell in love with it the first time and have hoped to see it again one day. That day is now. The outfit goes back to an interview in the newspaper Berlingske on occasion of her 40th birthday, here. Only little has changed since then. Same blouse. Same skirt. Different shoes. It took quite a while to get en ID on the silk blouse, but one day it was found at Prada. When it comes to the skirt, which by the way is dark blue, nothing has turned up yet. One thing is sure -blue and powder pink goes very well together. Matching the rest of the outfit, she had chosen to wear patent pink pointed pumps from Gianvito Rossi worn at several other occasions. When we saw the outfit a few years back, she wore nude pumps from Prada and they make a better look in my opinion. What do you think? -pink or nude for this outfit. She embrace the style by wearing jewellery from both Dulong Fine Jewelry and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Beautiful jewellery for the occasion. No one like Mary manage to match accessories with clothes with such perfection. Even the Quidam clutch matched in colour and style.

The international Children's Literature Festival

Thursday, October 26th



Surrounded by enthusiastic children in splendid mood, the Crown Princess arrived to the library DOKK1 in Aarhus where she was about to attend the official opening of the international children's literature festival called HAY Festival 2017, here. The festival takes place in Aarhus over four days on occasions of the announcement of the city as European Capital of Culture 2017. Each year since 1985, different cities around Europe have been given the prestiges title. All to bring the european people closer together.
The Crown Princess arrived in a wonderful mood and was welcomed as guest of honor. She officially opened the children's literature festival with a little ceremony including a golden scissors and orange ribbon. With a huge smile on her face she took plenty of time to the participating children, who had lot of fun in different workshops during the festival. There was also time for her to see what the kids had made in the workshops and she was clearly impressed by what she saw. I am sure all of them had a wonderful day in Aarhus.



At the opening of the HAY Festival 2017 in Aarhus on Thursday, Mary was beautifully dress in a reused tweed coat from Prada. I am not quite sure when we saw it for the first time, but it comes with a matching dress, which we have also seen worn a many different occasions. This time she wore the greenish tweed coat with black slim trousers. Just as in April 2016 when she attended of a new social- and health school in Copenhagen, here. I have always enjoyed the coat also along with the matching dress. Especially I have come to love with combo with trousers. Do you like it? As mentioned before it is not the first time Mary wear this coat. I have found at least four other occasions and I'm pretty there are more, herehereherehere. Looking for pictures I also found another great way to wear the coat. So, just a little inspiration for you, here. Nor is it the first time we see her wear the golden Orit Elhanati necklace, golden bracelets from Cartier and Dulong Fine Jewelry and diamonds rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Another great old reuse is the navy blue Quidam clutch and yellow Gianvito Rossi pumps. Somehow I'm going to get myself a pair of suede yellow pointed pumps. Mary's outfit is very much adored by me -and you?
