Day 2. Visiting the European Council in Strasbourg

Tuesday, January 23rd



In view of the fact that Denmark is chairman of the European Council's Ministerial Committee until May, the Crown Princess visited the European Council in Strasbourg. The European Council's Ministerial Committee works to protect human rights, democracy and the rule of law.

The Crown Princess arrived a day earlier and attended a private dinner with the Danish ambassador, who is also a permanent member of the council, here. On January 23rd most focus was on Denmark and 'Danishness' with the Crown Princess as the perfect representative and music performed by DRs Girls Choir. Since the second she ended her speech, it has been praised. You should differently hear it. The speech is in English so many of you should be able to understand what she says. Every time she attend events like this, she makes me so proud of being a Dane.




As her speech, she wore a reward winning outfit for the occasion. Mary showed up wearing a reused grey dress from Prada. It goes back to 2015 when she attended the 3rd World Conference of Women's Shelters' in the Netherlands, here. A year later Mary dazzled one more time when attending the Women's Board Award 2016 taking place in HeloitteHuset in Copenhagen, here. Even last year she wore the dress was last wear at a reception where she received the World Health Organization Award, here. She strikes again in the same dress accessorized with new jewellery. She had chosen diamond earrings and a few rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, a golden Cartier bracelet and what I believe two other bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry. We get a glimpse of a handbag which can only be her tan Prada bag. Nor am I in doubt that she's wearing patent pink pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Beautiful pumps. Beautiful outfit. As the day before she arrived wearing her new Max Mara coat identified by Heaven. For sure Mary made a good impression of herself. Really, it is hard to make a bad impression in this outfit. Right?

Day 1. Visiting the European Council in Strasbourg

Monday, January 22nd


For two days the Crown Princess is visiting the European Council in Strasbourg, France. On same occasion she is also present at the European Parliamentary Assembly Session. On this trip is also the Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs Anders Samuelsen. The Crown Princess arrived one day early to attend a private dinner hosted by the Danish ambassador, who is also a permanent member of the council. He and his wife warmly welcomed the Crown Princess, such as flower girls handed over flowers to her at the arrival. With this very unofficial welcoming ceremony, I am positively sure the Crown Princess enjoyed the evening in Strasbourg with good company and a fine dinner.

At the dinner Mary was beautifully dressed in a very chic and stylish outfit. For these occasions we rarely see her in anything else but dresses. This time everything was different because she showed up wearing a blouse and trousers. The blouse is new and features a significant feather-like print such as a eye-catching colour. Heaven suggest Britt Sisseck and I think she is on to something right. As with the new beige wool coat, as she think is from Max Mara. I truly believe she has found what Mary was wearing at the dinner. Non of us have found the exact same model talking about the blouse, but it is similar to this and this. She embraced the style by wearing black slim trousers, a matching Quidam clutch, grey Gianvito Rossi pumps and caramel coloured leather gloves. Yet, she wore another accessory, which I have heard no one talk about. What a shame. Because Mary is also wearing new earrings as well. With no doubt in my mind, I would say they are custom made Kharisma earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry similar in concept as these. I can not say anything bad about her outfit. I absolutely love every single detail.

The opening of 'Aarhus 2018 - European Volunteering Capital'

Sunday, January 21st



It was as patron of Frivillighovedstadsråret the Crown Princess attended the opening of Aarhus 2018 - European Volunteering Capital, here. Each year a new european capital is given the title as Aarhus has been given this year. All because Aarhus has made special remark regarding volunteering. The title is a way to celebrate and honor volunteering. This year the celebration took place at Aarhus City Hall with the Crown Princess as guest of honor. She arrived in a splendid mood; ready to give her speech and officially open the event. You find her remarkable speech here.

Later in the evening, she also visited an exhibition at the City Hall,where the Crown Princess got a chance to meet both the project manager for the Volunteer Capital 2018 and head of Volunteer Center Aarhus.


Mary just looked absolutely stunning in her reuse Ralph Lauren dress. Don't you think? At first I was sure old pictures had found their way to my top search because of the same dress. She wore it the first time in 2015 when she attended the Champions for Change Awards Dinner taking place a Banqueting Hall in London, here. Back then Mary dazzled wearing powder pink pumps, similar to these. They are not the same, but from the same designer -Gianvito Rossi. Really like that dress and shoes match this perfectly in colour. That powder pink colour looks gorgeous next to her dark hair and fair skin. She embraced a beautiful outfit at the opening by wearing drop earrings from Jewlscph and a knot clutch from Bottega Veneta. The simplicity is smashing. At the arrival, she kept warm in a dark grey wool coat, which I am pretty sure we have seen before. Do you recognize it or is it just me? If you manage to find a picture showing her makeup, then take a closer look. Simple perfection.

Inauguration of 'Liljeborg'

Friday, January 12th



For years the Crown Princess has been patron for the Christmas Seal Homes, here, in Denmark. It was also as patron she attended the inauguration of a new Christmas Seal Home called 'Liljeborg' in Roskilde. A very poetic name that includes including the name of a flower -a lily. The Crown Princess has visited Christmas Seal Homes all over the country since she became patron. Now it was time for her to inaugurate a new one. Hopefully a place where many children in the future will learn how to enjoy life much more. During the visit she participated several activities with the children, who seemed to have much fun with the future queen. Eye to eye with the kids, the Crown Princess a couple of hours in Roskilde.


At the inauguration Mary was dressed in a chic pair of black trousers and a brand new printed blouse. I have tried almost everything to identify her new blouse that features long sleeves, ruffles at back and a turtleneck. I would really like to have been the one finding her blouse, but I did not. Sweet Amanda shared with me a blouse featuring a similar print. With her help I was able to find the model Mary was wearing. Enough about all the talking. Mary's new printed blouse is from Jesper Høvring (Collection: H by Jesper Høvring, here). Amazing how this identification could take so long. When arriving Mary stayed warm in her wool coat from JOSEPH. She embraced the style by wearing several accessories as well. First one to mention is the black ankle boots. They have been identified by Heaven as Hugo Boss. We first saw them on November 25th, here. The diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and the Louise Grønlykke earrings are both reused details. I would absolutely have loved to see just one splash of colour. Maybe red nails, a colourful clutch or a shiny coloured brooch. Then I would give her outfit 10 out of 10.
