Free of Bullying Children's Race 2021

24 June

Free of Bullying is one of the Mary Foundation's projects fighting to combat and prevent bullying among smaller and young children. From the beginning, it has been a huge success and it still it. A part of the Free of Bullying project is the annual Children's Race, which is a collaboration between the Mary Foundation and Save the Children Denmark.

When participating the race, children run for one kilometer accompanied by a small purple teddy bear - the Mary Foundations' iconic purple teddy bear. At the finish line, the children hand over the teddy to the fullsize teddy bear. In return, they are given a t-shirt and a medal.

The race takes place every year in different Danish cities. This year, children can participate the race in Rønde, Esbjerg, Copenhagen and Odense.

On the occasion of the race, Crown Princess Mary shared a few words in a new video from the Mary Foundation with the message that she hope for many participants this year. The video was likely recorded in April 2021 (here).



Mary was perfectly dressed in a black pair trousers and a matching sports blouse. She was also wearing the Free of Bullying t-shirt. A blue shirt with purple teddy bear printed on. We also get a glimpse of her white sneakers from NIKE. Take a look at my post from when the video was recorded to see more details about her outfit (here).

"Creative Summit"

23 June

Crown Princess Mary arrived to Industriens Hus in Copenhagen to attend the launch of a new project called "Creative Summit". A collaboration between Danish Industry and Creative Denmark. The summit is brand new platform. It aim to focus on the potential of the creative business and at the same time create a room for create actors. A room with space to be inspired and inspire others in the same business.

Minister of Trade and Industry Simon Kollerup and CEO and CCO of Danish Industry Thomas Bustrup welcomed the Crown Princess at the arrival. Chairman of the Board of Creative Denmark Mette Kynne Frandsen also welcomed her along with CEO of Creative Denmark Majken Kalhave.

The Crown Princess enjoyed a welcome speech by Thomas Bustrup and Mette Kynne Frandsen. Simon Kollerup also entered the stage and gave a speech on behalf of the opening of the "Creative Summit".

Afterwards, she attended a roundtable debate about how creativity is such an important factor in dailylife businesses. Participants of the summit also got the chance of meeting the Crown Princess like many others did at the event.

Maybe you recall Mary's outfit from when she attended the launch of "Creative Summit"? That is because, she wore the exact same (almost) outfit at CBS Responsibility Day in K.B. Hallen two years ago (here). Back then, almost every part of her outfit were identified. The blouse is still unknown to me, but I believe we learn more one day. Her beautiful printed skirt is a Valentino design. Once again, Mary embraced the style with a lovely burgundy leather belt. No one has found that accessory yet. I keep my eyes open.

Her soft pink (peach?) suede pumps were also worn back in 2019 at the Responsibility Day. They we found at Jimmy Choo. They are indeed stunning. The pumps really do a great job with the rest of her look.

Mary is known to wear plenty of jewellery. She is never covered in jewellery, but wearing exquisite and well-chosen pieces. At "Creative Summit" in Industriens Hus, she dazzled wearing white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry. The same jewellery designer are also the creator of four other pieces worn that day. Three bracelets and that huge diamond ring on her left hand. The other diamond band is an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen design. Her golden diamond bangle is also from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Mary also wore her new heart pendant necklace from Ebba Sydow Jewelry.

Meeting with "Global Fashion Agenda"

22 June

For many many years, the Crown Princess has attended the annual Copenhagen Fashion Summit. Actually, she has attended the event almost every year since 2009. On more than one occasion, Crown Princess Mary has been patron and advocate for the subject on fashion. In 2018, she become patron of the Global Fashion Agenda (GFA). Together, Copenhagen Fashion Summit and the Global Fashion Agenda focuses on the fashion industry - especially, more sustainable solutions.

On Tuesday, Crown Princess Mary met with Niels Eskildsen, Chairman of the Board of GFA and their new CEO Federica Marchionni. The meeting took place at Amalienborg. The three of them talked about GFA's priorities to improve the fashion industry. To make a more sustainable fashion industry.



When meeting with Federica Marchionni and Niels Eskildsen, Mary dazzled wearing a brand new printed wrap dress. A least that is what it looks like and with some help from Heaven, we now know that it is in fact a wrap dress from ba&sh. Thanks for sharing this great find with me.

A blurry photo makes it a bit difficult to see details, but I recognize her golden Dulong Fine Jewelry bangle. I sense that Mary is also wearing one or two golden necklaces. One of them is her Ebba Sydow Jewelry piece. Do you see a second one too? Maybe she is also wearing earrings? The shape makes me think of Louise Grønlykke, but I am not sure. I suggest Louise Grønlykke because the shape reminds me so much of a rather new pair of earrings (here). Maybe they come with removable pendants? Her little clutch is from Tapet Café. We often see it, when she attending meetings at Amalienborg or if we get a glimpse of her home office.

Have you ever thought about their choice of interior? Sure, the couple are surrounded by huge golden mirrors and fine candelabras, but they also like 21st century design. For instance, Mary has a love of Arne Jacobsen chairs (here) - with purple cover. Multiple photos are also often seen in their offices. Mary's meeting room is also very interesting. I specifically noticed one thing: the white book with red pages on the self behind her. That is rather new. I found it to be "The Queen's People" by Assouline (here). She was serving coffee (or tea) in Royal Copenhagen cups (here).

Nældebjerg Care Center

18 June

Finally, we are allowed to moved around a bit more freely. The same goes for the royal family. On June 18th, Crown Princess Mary payed a visit to Nældebjerg Care Center in Greve. Something I think she has been looking forward to. She looked like that, when she arrived to the care center. The visit was kind of a symbol for the reopening of Denmark due to the worldwide pandemic. The Crown Princess was accompanied by Minister of Social- and Elderly, Astrid Krag.

Crown Princess Mary and Astrid Krag were warmly welcomed by Mayor of Greve, Pernille Beckmann and some of the residents and their families. The arrival was such a joy for all of us. The elderly residents lit up like Christmas candles: so did the Crown Princess. All smily eye and happy faces.

Nældebjerg Care Center's residents kindly shared their stories and experiences with the Crown Princess on how they handled the pandemic and how it affected their daily lifes.

The weather was splendid and because of that, the residents enjoyed the sunny weather along with the Crown Princess.

Visiting Nældebjerg Care Center in Greve, Mary had chosen a brand new black and white floral printed dress. It features cap sleeves, a V-neckline and a belted waistline. A first the style was truly unknown to me, but when I learned that her new dress is from Ralph Lauren it makes good sense. The style is a perfect Ralph Lauren design.

She embraced the style with lovely jewellery. Several golden jewellery from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Some rather old like the white pearl earrings. They go way back in time. Her pearl bracelet is from the same jewellery designer, but she has only worn it a couple of times. It is available with white and black pearls, but Mary's looks custom-made because of the different colored pearls. I also see her golden Cartier bangle and diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Her fourth bangle is studded with diamonds too and is created by Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen too. The heart necklace is from Ebba Sydow Jewelry.

As other accessories, Mary wore a light grey suede Hugo Boss clutch. She has the same model in purple, blue and nude. This grey clutch perfectly matched the rest of her outfit and her new pointed slingback pumps. With a little luck, I was able to identify her new pumps as Arteana. This has been confirmed by the company. The model is called "St. Germain 95 Pumps" and is a custom-made shoe.

UEFA Euro 2020

17 June

Just last week, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary watched the football match between Denmark and Finland. The game was part of the European Championship 2020. Unfortunately, Denmark did not win. We had the chance again on Thursday 17th, when another games was played between Denmark and Belgium.

On that occasion, the Belgium King Philippe had traveled to Copenhagen to watch the nerve-racking game and it truly was an exciting game. Denmark scored their first goal after just a few minutes into the game. The excitement was not to hide for any of the royal members watching it. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary were accompanied by their oldest son Prince Christian, Prince Nicolai and his younger brother Prins Felix. All of them really seemed to enjoy the evening in Parken. Very enthusiastic about the game.

Before the game, Crown Prince Frederik posed for a group photo with his son and his cousins. A really lovely moment captured on camera. Unfortunately, we lost again. Congratulations to Belgium.

I always loved and adored Mary's everyday outfits. I know you do too. It proved that even in private, she is stylish and well-dressed. It is simply natural for her to keep a certain standard. That is something I love. When attending the football match between Denmark and Belgium in Parken yesterday, she dazzled in a red and white outfit matched with brown accessories.

The magnificent red blazer is from Alexander McQueen. She first wore it, when she promoted the "Fantastic Football Parties"-project on June 1st (here). Luckily, I was able to identify it rather quickly. Love to see it again already and it looks absolutely stunning with that brand new white belted dress. At the moment I have no idea where it is from. Nor where to find it. Any ideas? Maybe just an idea for a possible designer? Looks really lovely. Wish to see the dress without the blazer one day.

She embraced the style with the perfect pieces of jewellery. The golden hoops are a design by Dulong Fine Jewelry. They are also the creator or three of her golden bracelets. The one with small different colored stones, are really new. I already want something similar. It looks so beautiful. She was also wearing her Cartier bangle. Maybe you noticed her rings too? Outstanding diamond rings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Her heart-shaped necklace is from Ebba Sydow Jewelry. 

Mary had also chosen a few brown leather details. The belt perfectly matched her brown leather crossbody-bag from Chloé and those reused ankle strap heeled sandals. She wore them last year when visiting Kofoed School on occasion of the Crown Prince Couple's Prizes (here). Thanks to Heaven and her reader, they have now been identified as Gianvito Rossi.

Inauguration of Strandbakkehuset

16 June

It was a special day for more than Crown Princess Mary. It was also an exciting day for the workers at Stranbakkehuset and the residents, because Strandbakkehuset was about the be inaugurated by the Crown Princess. 

Strandbakkehuset is Denmark's first newly built children's and young people's hospice in Rønde in Djursland. They offer special care and treatment to children and young people and their families, who suffers from life threatening diseases.

The Crown Princess was truly in a wonderful and excellent mood, when she arrived in Rønde. A flower girl welcomed her with a lovely bouquet of flowers. Regional Council Chairman Anders Kühnau, Hospice Chairman Dorit Simonsen and Chairman of the Board Jørgen Keinicke also welcomed her with great pleasure. The weather was perfect for an inauguration!

The inauguration was celebrated with balloons, the mandatory red ribbon and a guided tour around the brand new facilities. Both Anders Kühnau, Dorit Simonsen and Jørgen Keinicke showed her around and talked about their family homes, outdoor playground and a the important sensory rooms.

What a wonderful day in Rønde just like her beautiful outfit. I am still a bit troubled with the color of the dress such as the print. But it looks so comfortable to wear. Guess Mary has the same feeling, because this is the fourth time she wears it. She first wore this Hennes & Mauritz dress, when attending Copenhagen Fashion Summit in May 2019 (here). Then again a couple of months later at a conference in September 2019 (here) and when visiting Indonesia in December 2019 (here).

At the inauguration of Strandbakkehuset, Mary accessorized her printed sheer dress with her new diamond heart necklace from Ebba Sydow Jewelry. Such a stunning pendant. Her golden hoops are from Dulong Fine Jewelry. The same designer created at least two of her golden bracelets. Her colored stone bracelet is new to me. The style is so similar to Dulong Fine Jewelry's Piccolo bracelets (here). This is why I have come to believe that this is the designer. Her golden bangle is from Cartier. I also see a diamond band from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

Usually, I adore when she wear nude accessories with colorfull clothes, but for this dress I makes her look a bit pale... Imagine the dress worn with red pumps or maybe even white. Her beige python pumps are from Gianvito Rossi.

100 years of Reunification

13 June

Last year, we were suppose to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Reunification. Summer hundred years ago, Southern Jutland officially become part of Denmark again after having been part of Germany. The reunification was the result of a referendum in which a majority of the population in North Schleswig voted home to Denmark.

In 1920, King Christian X celebrated the Reunification by crossing the old border from Denmark to Germany in Frederikshøj near Kolding, on his horse. This moment has, since then, become almost iconic for the reunification.

Today, Queen Margrethe, Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Christian visited Frederikshøj crossing the old broder once again. Later on, the three of them attended a church service in Haderslev Cathedral. Queen Margarethe then drove to Aabenraa and tonight she host a dinner at Dannebrog in Sønderborg.

Fortunately, I happen to live near by and could not help myself from showing up and get a glimpse of the Queen, Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Christian. Actually, it is the first time I see Queen Margrethe and what an experience it was. I really want to share a few photos with you from my "meeting" today. 

You are very welcome to share my photos, but with proper credit. Thanks.







And the winner is...

12th June

Yesterday, Crown Princess Mary payed a very special visit to a small town in Rødeovre. The reason for her visit was to celebrate the winner of the Mary Foundations initiative "Fantastic Football Parties". The foundation encouraged Danes to gather up to celebrate Denmark participating the European Championship. The game took place in Parken later that evening.

The project was made in collaboration between the Mary Foundation, DBU, Denmark's Radio and Østifterne.

She was warmly welcomed at the arrival. She was indeed one big smile and it seems like she enjoyed her time in Rødovre - just as much as the rest of the party. No football party with a little football match in which the Crown Princess (of course) participated with great joy. She also "hosted" a quick football quiz.

Visiting Rødovre, Crown Princess Mary was accompanied by former football player, Henrik Larsen. He played more than 30 games from 1989 to 1996.

With the visit in Rødovre she was completely ready to watch the match later that evening with Crown Prince Frederik. The news that the Crown Prince Couple would watch the football match between Denmark and Finland in Parken, was just revealed a few days ago.

Det Danske KongehusMary FondenFrederik et MaryFrederik et MaryGetty ImagesBilled Bladet ● Billed Bladet



Celebrating Denmark and the national Danish colors: red and white, Mary embraced this completely. With such perfection, she had chosen to wear the most incredible red Hugo Boss pleated blouse. Seen on a few other occasion before this. Among others, when she presented Hjerteforeningens Research Grants in 2018 (here). She matched it with lovely red trousers, which looks new to me. The style reminds me of Hugo Boss, but I have not been able to find the exact same model. Maybe you are more lucky than me? She also wore a brand new white coat. A really stunning coat. It is still unidentified. So, let me know if you see or hear anything about it and do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Even though her outfit was quite simple, she accessories her look with plenty of magnificent jewellery. Three of four bracelets are from talented Dulong Fine Jewelry. To me it looks like one of them could be new. The one with the different colored stones. I also see her golden love bangle from Cartier. Another "love jewellery" is her new diamond necklace shaped as a heart. Kate found it at Ebba Sydow Jewelry. Once again, she left her engagement ring at home and wore only a diamond band.

We also got another glimpse of her rather new white sneakers, which she wore a few weeks ago, when announcing the initiative "Fantastic Football Parties" (here). They are still unidentified, but I strongly believe they are from NIKE. Good eyes see that hair tie is a new one from Kknekki. And for you with super eyes see that Mary flashed a brand new bright red handbag from Prada. Cannot wait to see it again in the future.

The World Goals Conference 2021

10th June

For many years, Crown Princess Mary has been committed to change conditions for people around the world. Especially, girls and women have had her attention for years now. She works to improve, among others, their rights, well-being and future opportunities. Such as gender equality has its important for her. Gender equality is also one of UN's 17 world goals, which is why it makes good sense for the Crown Princess to participate the World Goals Conference.

The conference took place at Dansk Industri in Copenhagen. CEO of Dansk Industri, Lars Sandahl Sørensen kindly welcomed the Crown Princess along with Minister of the Interior and Housing, Kaare Dybvad Bek. The International CEO and CCO in Dansk Industri, Thomas Bustrup also participated the welcoming and following conference.

Crown Princess Mary was given the privilege to open the conference with an opening speech. In this speech, she focused on how Denmark will continue to work with UN's 17 world goals. Along with 192 other countries in UN, Denmark undertakes to take part in solving some of the world's biggest challenges - such as better living conditions and health options for girls and women around the world.

Somehow, Mary manage to surprise and impress me every single time we see her. She has for more than 12 years. My excitement remains. When participating the World Goals Conference 2021 at Dansk Industri in Copenhagen, Mary was dressed to perfection. She had chosen to wear one of her old Massimo Dutti suits. Its color has been discussed. To me it is very much a soft beige/nude and the product description also says "beige". The linen suit is differently a favourite of mine. It is both classy, elegant and everyday-like. She matched her lovely suit with a simple white blouse.

She embraced the style by wearing lots of stunning accessories. As jewellery, she wore "ancient" earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Square-cut Rose Quarts earrings that goes back to the time, when she moved to Denmark. The long golden necklace is from the same designer, such as the pendants. We have not seen this necklace for many years, but she liked wearing it when the couple visited in Vietnam in 2009 (here). The second one with the diamond heart pendant is a rather new one from Ebba Sydow Jewelry. I also see her rather large golden ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry and her love bangle from Cartier.

My heart exploded, when I saw that she had chosen her beige quilted handbag from Chanel. She wore it first time, when visiting Australia in 2011 (here) and then again in 2012 at the celebration of Dannebrog's 80th anniversary (here). For years, I wish to see it again. Finally, it happened and it looks absolutely magnificent with the beige suit. As other accessories, we have her python pumps from Gianvito Rossi and Gucci glasses. A simple ponytail completed the outfit with such elegance. What an outfit!

Project #ForNaturenWWF

10th June

On May 22nd, Crown Princess Mary attended the launch of a new digital project by the WWF World Wild Fund for Nature called "Together for Nature". The project was all about gathering people and their love for nature under the hashtag #ForNaturenWWF. It was the thought that we care more for nature if we engage with it. Every week had its own theme. 

On June 11 the project ends and on that occasion a few members of WWF World Wild Fund for Nature met for an online meeting, (here). Crown Princess Mary participated such as Bo Øksnebjerg (Secretary General and CEO), Thor Hjarsen (Senior Adviser) and Thomas Kirk Sørensen (Head of Section Ocean and Wildlife).

Senior Adviser, Thor Hjarsen shared a little glimpse from the meeting on his Twitter account. Later, some of the "winning photos" have been published on the royals court's webside (here).

Participating the meeting, Mary had chosen to wear a black cap sleeve blouse with a little open detail at front. I kinda remember it, but I think I have another blouse in mind. Have we indeed seen this blouse before? Wish we were able to see her other half. Think she could be wearing black trousers. That would be "very Mary". I like the thought that she wore jeans, but I do not think that is likely. The glasses are from Gucci

Danish Society for the Blind's 110th anniversary

8th June 

June 8th was a day of celebration for the Danish Society for the Blind. They celebrated their 110th anniversary. On that occasion, the Crown Princess congratulated the organization with a few words. The anniversary greeting was posted on their social media (here). Based on what she wore in the video, I guess it was recorded on June 3rd - the same day the Crown Prince Couple hosted a dinner of the diplomatic relations between Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia (here).

For many of us the pandemic have had serious consequences like isolation and higher risk of solitude. This also applies to those with a visual impairment. Even though we live in a digitized world, many still lack the physical contact with each other - take part in activities, communities and be part of social networks. With these words she congratulated the Danish Society for the Blind on occasion of their 110th anniversary. I also send my best regards on this very special day.

As mentioned before, I think this greeting was recorded on the day of the anniversary dinner at Amalienborg. I based this on the fact that she wore the exact same floral printed Burberry dress, the same diamond earrings and had the exact same hairdo. Then we also know that Mary wore her golden Cartier bangle and her diamond bangle Fram Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. She completed the evening outfit with a Dulong Fine Jewelry ring and matching patent leather pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Truly an outfit of celebration!

"Mind the Music" in Odense

04th June

It was as patron of the national associations SIND and the Psychiatric Foundation that Crown Princess Mary visited Odense. She was about the attend a very special concert called Mind the Music. It was organized by SIND, the Psychiatric Foundation and Odense Symphony Orchestra.

The concert is all about the creativity of the complicated mind. Six different symphonic concerts created by six different composers formed the setting for the evening. Symphonies by, among others, Igor Stravinskij, Modest Musorgskij and Maurice Ravel were played during the concert which was directed by Pierre Bleuse. Mind the Music gathered music by composers who lived with either a health or troubled mind. What a beautiful idea.

Crown Princess Mary enjoyed the concert in Odense from the front raw. She was clearly impressed and moved by the atmosphere from the room and of course the overwhelming symphonies. Have you ever attended such concert? I still need to experience one.

Mary was the queen of the night. Don't you think? She looked outstanding and simply magnificent in her blue lace dress from Moss & Spy. Even though she has worn it before, I was still able to discover new details. Like the beautiful necklace and the cap-sleeves. Love how the lace is given its own focus. She first wore the dress at a business promotion visit to Paris in 2019 (here). Loved it then. Love it now. This time she wore it without the belt. I kinda miss that. The belt enhanced her waist with such grace.

She embraced the style by wearing stunning diamond earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry. They go way back in time. Over the years, Mary has added every different pendants. Like these blue drop pendants. A perfect match to the Moss & Spy dress. I also see a few bracelets from Cartier, Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and Dulong Fine Jewelry. Even her huge diamond ring is created by Dulong Fine Jewelry.

As other accessories, Mary reused one of her little box clutches from Prada and pointed pumps from Gianvito Rossi. I almost forgot about these two accessoires. The one time I clearly remember is when the couple visited Japan and she wore a set from Etro and then her might night blue satin pumps (here). I know that many of you disliked this outfit, but I almost fainted that day.

Dinner in honor of diplomatic realtions

03rd June

I know many of you have been waiting for this particular dinner. On Thursday, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary hosted a very special dinner in honor of close diplomatic relations between Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. This realtionsship can now celebrate its 100th anniversary. Such a memorable day needs to be celebrate and that was what the Danish Crown Prince Couple made happen at Amalienborg.

The behind these diplomatic realtions goes back to the year 1921. This year, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania can also celebrate the 30th anniversary of the re-establishment of diplomatic realtions following the secession from the Soviet Union in 1991. So, twice as much to celebrate.

I guess, the Crown Prince Couple were happy to host this very special event. From what I have seen, all of them seemed happy, comfortable and ready to enjoy a few hours together.

Oh, oh, oh it magic! Mary looked like a fairy last night wearing her powder pink floral dress from Burberry. I clearly remember when she wore it the first time at the 100th anniversary of women's right to vote in 2015 (here). Love the dress from the very begning, but not all of you had the same sate of mind. This is now the fifth time she wears it and I feel you may have changed your mind since then? I still think this dress is absolutely stunning. Compliments her fair skin and dark brown hair beautifully.

More or less, Mary copied her own outfit from when she and Frederik attended a dinner in South Korea on an official visit there in 2019 (here). Little has changed, but nevertheless, she nailed it one more time.

She accessorized her outfit by wearing these incredible oval-shaped pink diamond earrings surrounded by white diamonds. I have never been able to identify who created them or if they may be purchased on an auction. The style makes it possible. We also get a glimpse of her golden Cartier bangle and yet another diamond bangle from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Wish to have my own Cartier bracelet one day, but for now I have to stick to the dream. She also flashed a diamond ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry. An old goodie!

Maybe you recognize the pumps? They are from Gianvito Rossi. Once again, Mary managed to match clothes and accessories almost perfectly in color. Love that. She topped of her evening look with the most wonderful hairstyle. A true updo. Something, we have not seen in a veeery long time. I missed that.

Inauguration of Herlev's new Emergency Room and Woman-Child Center

02nd June

The last week, the weather has been phenomenal. Warm with lots of sunshine. The perfect weather for an inauguration. That is exactly what Crown Princess Mary attended. She visited Herlev to inaugurate the new emergency room and woman-child center at Herlev Hospital. It includes around 300 new rooms for patinas, special designed green areas and a new Emergency Room. The two new wards are connected with a main entrance.

Crown Princess Mary arrived in a splendid mood. She was one big smile. Many were gathered close to the main entrance to get a glimpse of the Crown Princess. She took her time greeting them. Minister of Health, Magnus Heunicke and President of the Regional Council, Sophie Hæstorp Andersen gladly welcomed the her and followed her at a guided tour around the brand new facilities in Herlev.

For the official inauguration, Crown Princess Mary cut the iconic red ribbon with a (very) golden scissors. She was given a clear view of what these new facilities have in advance - several new rooms for patients, a brand new emergency room, among others a trauma department. Many of the rooms have a view of the outdoor green areas that should function recreationally and as sensory areas for patients and their families.

I think we can agree on at least one thing: Mary's outfit at the inauguration of the new emergency room and women-child center in Herlev, was absolutely stunning! She was so radiant with the warm smile and summer chic outfit. Her look was really well put together. That light blue Victoria Beckham blouse and floral printed white midi skirt from Paul & Joe are a magnificent combination. Don't you think? She has worn the blouse on quite a few previous events, but the skirt is now only seen for the second time. Mary first wore the skirt, when she attended the grand opening of Holmegaard Værk in Fensmark back in June 2020 (here).

She embraced the style by wearing lovely blue earrings and a matching ring both from Pomellato. I am impressed how well they match the blouse in color. It is almost the same shade of blue. Mary is a tru fan of golden jewellery. I get it: gold looks beautiful to her fair skin, brown eyes and dark brown hair. At the inauguration, she wore her golden bangle from Cartier and two other bracelets from talented Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Another accessory that complimented her look with true perfection, is the burgundy leather handbag from Hugo Boss. I wish these handbags would be highest fashion again. I simply love the shape and color. I still need to track down the model in the right burgundy color, but it also looks splendid in green leather as the link shows. Her beige python pumps are from Gianvito Rossi. The exact same as those from Prince Christian's confirmation on May 15th (here).

Since she started wearing a face mask, I was wondering where it could be from. Mary is not wearing the one-time-face-masks, but instead she wears reusable masks. Finally, I was able to find them at Kartó.

Fantastic Football Parties

01 June

Denmark is known to love to gather up on big occasions - especially at sports events. On Saturday, June 12, we are ready to closely follow the European Championship in football. Danmark is playing against Finland. 

On that occasion, the Mary Foundation has teamed up with Denmark's Radio (a national TV station), DBU - En Del af Noget Større and Østifterne. They decided it is time for all of us to get together and enjoy and celebrate this grand event. This is the perfect opportunity for get closer again in our local communities.

Crown Princess Mary visited a football stadium in Copenhagen to talked about "Fantastic Football Parties" (Fantastiske Fodboldfester). The Mary Foundation, Denmark's Radio, DBU - En Del af Noget Større and Østifterne are givening away 150 party boxes to the most festive and inclusive communities. So now it is time to celebrate - and maybe win one of the 150 boxes. Are we ready to celebrate?



While recording the video, Mary was dressed in a wonderful outfit. So relaxed and comfortable. I like to try it right about. Even after more than 12 years following her whereabouts, I still get surprised and inspired by her style. This is differently one of them.

She showed up wearing a brand new red blazer. If it is as beautiful in real life as it is on tape, it is indeed lovely. I managed to identify her new blazer as Alexander McQueen. My first finding for a very very long time. Better late than never, right? She styled the red blazer with a simple white blouse - possibly a white t-shirt and dark blue (or black) trousers. This is as simple as it gets. Blazer. Blouse. Trousers.

Mary also wore a pair of new white sneakers. By looking at the style of these sneakers I like to say that they are from NIKE. Nevertheless, I have not been able to track down the right model yet. Can you? The reason why my guess is NIKE, is because of her other shoes from that designer worn at for instance when getting ready for the Children's Race 2021 (here). She topped of her look with a lovely curly ponytail.
