The Danish Music Conservatory's Children's Choirs Christmas concert

Saturday, December 8th

The Crown Prince couple has just arrived home from a two days visit in Latvia. The couple had been invited by Latvia's President to attend the 100th anniversary of Latvia's independence as state, here, here.

On Saturday Crown Princess Mary was to attend as guest of honor at the Danish Music Conservatory's Children's Choirs Christmas concert. This year it took place at the Conservatory Concert Hall in Copenhagen. Crown Princess Mary has been patron for the children's choir for quite a few years and. Each year she attend their Christmas concert. It has become a tradition for her to bring her family. So did she this year. She even brought her father, John Donaldson and his wife Susan Donaldson. What a way to celebrate Christmas. One big happy family arrived. They were all smily and in a great mood. The perfect way to gather ones family.




Attending the Christmas concert Mary showed up wearing a warm and cosy outfit. She mixed new and old pieces. At the arrival she wore an old black wool cape from Heartmade Julie Fagerholt. Among others, it was worn when Mary attended the official opening of the Mothers Help's House in Copenhagen two years ago, here. Embracing the style she matched the black cape with a cable-knit sweater found at Ralph Lauren by Heaven. This is a brand new sweater styled with a brand new floral printed skirt. Heaven managed to identify her new skirt as well. She found it at Prada. Personally I am not quite sure what to think about this piece of clothing. I will leave the commenting to you.

Mary had also chosen to wear quite a few remarkable pieces of accessories. The heeled boots are from Prada worn on several previous occasions. Same goes with the black Bottega Veneta hobo bag. Around her neck is a design by Katerina Pitzner. She was wearing a least two bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry and one is from Cartier. You know: her golden love bracelet. The two diamond rings are Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

The greatest thing about this concert event, is the fact that Mary brought her whole family. That was really a surprise.

Day 2. Officiel visit to Latvia

Friday, December 7th

On occasion of the 100th anniversary of Latvia becoming an independant state the Danish Crown Prince couple were invited to Riga. The official visit take place from December 6th to 7th.

The Crown Prince couple arrived to Riga (the capital of Latvia) on Thursday. They were warmly welcomed by Latvia's President, Raimonds Vējonis and his wife at Riga Castle at an official welcoming ceremony. They also visited the Freedom Monument in Riga, had lunch with the chairman of the Latvian parliament, Ināra Mūrniece and attended dinner in the evening with everything it takes to welcomed a Crown Prince couple.

On day two they couple first visited Art Museum Riga to watch the presentation of architectural drawings, which are to transform the old tobacco factory in Riga to a gathering place for creative expression. A conference for creative industries was also officially open during the vist at Art Museum Riga. Then, while the Crown Prince visited an exhibition on Danish design Crown Princess Mary payed at visit to Center Dardedze - an NGO that works for a childhood without abuse.

Finally, the couple visited 'A Century of Latvia". An exhibition at the National Museum showing Latvia's 100 years of independence. More than 1,000 unique objects, photographies, films, portraits, etc. are exhibited as part of 'A Century of Latvia'.




Dressed in white a light blue Mary looked like a dreamy winter wonderland. I am completely in love with everything about her outfit on day two. The combo of fabrics, colours and prints are incredible. I simply can not get enough of this outfit. What was your first thoughts? I have had several different designers in mind. I have made several requests. Now I learned that her new coat and matching skirt have been found at Strenesse. What a lovely finding. Her matching pink set from Andiata, here, reminds a lot of what she wore in Riga. Don't you think? This wool style looks great on Mary. She wore the two new pieces with a reused white printed blouse from Stine Goya seen a couple of times before, here.

Mary embraced the style by wearing light blue suede Gianvito Rossi pumps. They are a reused like the rather large white pearl earrings. These were first worn at an event in 2017, here. I was never able to identify them. The same goes with the ring on her right hand. It is still a true mystery to me. It is similar in style to something Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen makes, but I every found a thing to prove it.

Once again she showed off a golden diamond pieces from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Matching the rest of her outfit, she had chosen to wear one of her blue clutches from Quidam and leather gloves.

Day 1. Official visit to Latvia

Thursday, December 6th

-During the day-
Quite a while it was announced that the Crown Prince couple were to visit Latvia on December 6th to 7th. That's now. The visit is all about celebrating Latvia declaring their independence a 100 years ago. Denmark is part of that celebration, which is also why Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary were invited to visit Latvia. They were invited by Latvia's President, Raimonds Vējonis, whom they were also welcomed by at the arrival. The royal couple are accompanied by the Danish Minister of Culture, Mette Bock.

Other than the 100 years anniversary of Latvia being an independant state; the visit also focus on design, art and history. They couple will attend several events on that occasion during the two days in Riga, Latvia.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary arrived early morning in Riga where they were warmly welcomed by the Presidential couple. Hundreds of people had showed up to get a glimpse of the royal couple arriving from Denmark. Afterwards, they were officially welcomed at a ceremony at Riga Castle. The couple payed a visit to the Freedom Monument in Riga and played a wreath in honor of those who died during a battle of making Latvia an independent state. It was revealed than 80 years ago.

Chairman of the Latvian parliament, Ināra Mūrniece hosted an official lunch for the Danish royal couple before it was time for the couple to have a few hours on their own.




No doubt that Mary arrived with style. She was dressed in pink from head to toe. Literally. Everything matched with perfection. Pink it no an easy colour to match with other pink pieces. But Mary managed that. She looked wonderful in a brand new bubblegum pink coat featuring a matching belt and rhinestones. The stunning creation has been identified by the designer as Claes Iversen, here. She could also be wearing a grey skirt from Dolce & Gabbana, first worn at the opening of the Parliament in 2015, here.

As first mentioned; also the accessories matched in colour. Mary has chosen to wear a brand new pink hat has well. It has been confirmed that Susanne Juul created her new hat. What a piece, right? It is very similar in style as this, here. Wish more women would wear hats - including myself... She also embraced the style with pink gloves, her old Bottega Veneta knot clutch and Gianvito Rossi pumps.

It is indeed pink. Maybe a little too pink for me, though she wear it with great elegance. Same goes with the jewellery - pure elegance. I see earrings, a ring and a golden bracelet from Danish Dulong Fine Jewelry. Pretty sure she could be wearing the golden Cartier bangle as well, but so far I have no pictures to prove it. Just a hunch.

I am overwhelmed to see her in such a bright colour this time a year. But it makes me proud to have her as Crown Princess, when she do such a great impression worldwide with what she wears.

-Dinner at Riga Castle-
After a few hours on their own the Crown Prince couple attended a reception in the concert house called Great Guild, which had been arranged by the Danish Embassy in Latvia, DCCL and the Danish Cultural Institute. About an hour later Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary watched a concert at the Great Guild, played by Concerto Copenhagen. What a remarkable name for an orchestra. The Presidential couple from Latvia also attended the concert along with the Danish Crown Prince couple.

All four of them meet afterwards at the official dinner taking place at Riga Castle. The Presidential couple hosted the dinner with Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary as guests of honor. The Crown Prince gave a speech as part of the official welcoming dinner.




Well, well, well. Mary in trousers at a dinner. That does not happen very often. At the moment I can not remember that we have ever seen that. At first glance I thought it was Queen Letizia of Spain that showed up on my screen. In fact it was my own Crown Princess. The whole look reminds me so much of something the Spanish Queen would wear. Nevertheless, it was Mary.

She embraced the style by wearing a brand new brocade blazer featuring a velvet collar. It is told to be made by talented Danish designer Jesper Høvring (collection: H by Jesper Høvring), who has created many of Mary's great evening gowns, here. This time it was a blazer. She wore her new bronze/golden blazer with fitted velvet trousers and a white blouse underneath. Heaven mentioned that the trousers could be from the same designers as the blazer. Tell me what you think about that.

No evening outfit without a little glitter. That is probably why Mary wore her black glitter pumps from Pura Lopez. We have seen then before, when she attended the presentation of the Danish Rainbow Award - AXGIL, here. I am sure you notified her diamond earrings as well. Somehow I think we have seen them before 10 years ago, when she attended the official opening of Skuespilhuset in Copenhagen, here. Thanks to one of you I am finally able to point out the specific event. What do you think? - is she wearing old diamond earrings? The diamond rings are from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

Christmas reception with the Mary Foundation

Tuesday, December 4th

For quite some year it has been a tradition for the Crown Princess to host a Christmas reception at Amalienborg for the Mary Foundation and partners. So did she this year. Once again the reception took place at Frederik VIII's Palace in Copenhagen, here, here.

Crown Princess Mary and the foundation wished everyone merry Christmas and thanked for yet another year of great collaborations. The invited guests enjoyed a glass of glögg (a warm spicy drink), æbleskiver (pastry) and a chat. I am sure they all had a wonderful afternoon. Imagine a reception on your own surrounded by chandeliers, gold frames and wall size mirrors. Does not get any more magical.



Mary always show the most incredible outfit when hosting these Christmas receptions. She also did this year. She had chosen a lovely purple Prada dress. It was worn in 2014 when Mary attended a celebration show on occasion of the 200-year jubilee for the right to go to school. At the time she wore leopard pumps. I like to think she did so this time. The combo was epic - edgy and chic. In a way I think it is more likely that she matched the purple dress with black pumps. But I do not know anything for sure.

We also got to see a few outstanding pieces of jewellery. First thing I noticed is her butterfly brooch. It is shaped as the Mary Foundation's logo. Beautiful gesture. The stunning dusty pink pendant earrings are old ones from Dulong Fine Jewelry. They also come with other pendants - blue ones, diamond ones, here, even coral ones, here. I also see her golden Cartier bangle and two other pieces from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Simplicity and quality might be the words to describe the worn jewellery. Very elegant look.
