The royal Advent calendar 2024

First Sunday of Advent 

During the ext month, King Frederik and Queen Mary will examine a number of Danish Christmas traditions every Sunday as part of the celebration of advent. They will be visiting a number of experts sharing their knowledge with the royal couple and the rest of us to learn more about Danish Christmas traditions from the Vikings till today.

This first Sunday of Advent, King Frederik visited the King Ship Museum in Roskilde. He met with archaeologist Jacob Nyborg Andreassen, how guided the King in the footsteps of the Vikings

Second Sunday of Advent 

This Sunday, the royal court posted a second entry as part of their Advent calendar. This week, Queen Mary visited Grundtvig Church in Bispebjerg. She met with the parish priests Inge Lise Løkkegaard and Agnete Veit and future confirmation candidates to a little chat about Christmas traditions. Among others, they discussed Advent as a tradition and sang a hymn from the Danish hymnal. The future confirmation candidates were also given the opportunity to ask the Queen about her own Christmas when living in Australia and today.

She shared with us that as a child they usually woke up early and sneaked in to the Christmas tree to see if Santa had brought any gifts. They spend much time at the beach and had a huge gathering later on - taking place outside.

When moving to Denmark, she learned about traditions as Advent, Advents gifts, Christmas calendar lights and Christmas calendar gifts.

Most important to the Queen during Christmas is the gathering of family and remember those who are no longer here.

When visiting Grundtvig Church in Bispebjerg, Mary wore a brand new purple knitted sweater with a reused ba&sh blouse and wide-legged jeans. The black blazer is from Harris Wharf London. Can't wait to hear what you think about her outfit. Especially, your ideas to identify her new pieces of clothes. She embraced the look with Sophie Bille Brahe earrings, elegant Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond rings and her chic Gucci glasses.

Third Sunday of Advent

This week, Queen Mary visited Den Fynske Landsby in Odense as part of the royal advent calendar. Den Fynske Landsby is an open-air museum with houses from Funen in the 19th century.

In Odense, the Queen met with Development Manager Lise Gerda Knudsen for a chat about how life and Christmas were in the 17th-19th century. 

Lise shared historical facts about life in the countryside 200 years ago. The difficulties. Times around Christmas was often a bit different. People helped and supported each other with, among others, food.

Queen Mary was also told about superstition as a part of people's daily lives. A well-known phenomenon associated with Christmas is elves, who originate during this historical period.

Mary was dressed in a lovely warm outfit when visiting Den Fynske Landsby in Odense. She matched beautiful grey Dries Van Noten trousers with a black sweater. The chic wool-blend coat is from Strenesse. She styled her outfit with a knitted beanie and an amazing checkered scarf. Both pieces have been worn before, but are still not identified. The sames goes with the brown heeled leather boots. Her diamond ring is from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

Forth Sunday of Advent

We are only two days away from Christmas (three if you celebrate Christmas on December 25th). The court shared the fourth and last part of the Sunday of Advent calendar with King Frederik visiting Den Gamle By i Aarhus.

Den Gamle By (The Old City) is an open air museum with houses from 1600-1900. King Frederik visited the home of Ellen and Asger Jensen. A reconstructed home from the 1970s. The King helped Anna Wowk Vestergaard decorating the Christmas tree in Ellen and Asger's old home.

Day 1.

Official visit to Greenland

29 June 2024

What we have all been waiting for: the King and Queen have started their official visit to Greenland. It turns out the Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine accompanied their parents. The family are staying at Dannebrog while visiting a number of Greenlandic cities.

The family arrived in Pituffik Space Base with an official welcoming in Qaanaaq. The couple also visited Qaanaaq back in 2004, when the Queen attended her first official visit to Greenland along with (then) Crown Prince Frederik and her parents-in-law.

After a reception at Qaanaaq City Hall and a following 'kaffemik' they arrived at Aasiaat and were welcomed at Aasiaat Museum and Niels Egedes Square.

A long day has passed and the royal family boarded Dannebrog to dock Qeqertarsuaq tomorrow.

The weather seems a bit on the close side in Qaanaaq. Mary was warmly dressed in a pair of black wide-legged trousers and a brand new knitted sweater. We get a glimpse of a soft reused ba&sh blouse underneath. 

Mary had then chosen a new caramel wool-blend coat from Stella McCartney. Like these oversize coats/blazers but not for me. Makes me look smaller and wider. The down-vest is an old one from Uniqlo.

She styled the outfit with black boots, cozy brown gloves, a knitted hat (new?) and an amazing navy blue scarf. I also see a golden diamond bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry and stunning shiny earrings. I have never been able to identify the earrings. Maybe one day. Her ring is Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

Day 1.

Official visit in New York and North Carolina

23 October 2023

Crown Princess Mary will spend three days abroad. More specifically, she will be visiting New York and here participate in the celebrating on the UN-day and a number of events to promote the Danish commitment in UN Security Council.

She arrived Monday and in the evening, the Crown Princess attended the reception "The Coalition on Addressing Sea-level rise & Existential Threats". The reception took place at the Danish UN-Mission in New York.

The Crown Princess gave the opening speech (here). She enhanced the importance of discussing the constant climate changes and why we need to find specific solutions on how to handle these changes.

When attending the reception at UN-Mission in New York Monday evening, Mary looked absolutely stunning wearing a brand new ba&sh floral printed dress. I really adore the square neckline. It emphasizes her face beautifully. She matched it with a recused black Harris Wharf London blazer. Not one of my favorite blazers worn with dresses because of the length. Nevertheless, Mary wore it with such elegance.

She embraced the style with old (!) custom-made earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry. A pair of earrings that has followed her for years. The Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau necklaces seems to have become her most beloved pieces of jewellery right now.

Rebekka Notkin is the designer of her solid golden bracelet and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen created two of her diamond rings.

Look closely and you will see that Mary also styled the outfit with a reused Carlend Copenhagen clutch and Gianvito Rossi sling-back pumps.

Reopening of Museum Ovartaci

17 May 2023

Crown Princess Mary attended the reopening of Museum Ovartaci in Aarhus on May 17th around noon.

Museum Ovartaci has a very unique history. It is build on two exhibitions: a psychiatry historical exhibition and an internationally recognized art collection of works created by people with psychiatric diagnoses. The museum is named after the artist Ovartaci (Louis Marcussen). He was hospitalized at Psychiatric Hospital in Risskov for 56 years. During his time, he created numerous masterpieces - also on display.

This is truly the outfit I needed to spike my spring vibe. She looked absolutely stunning at the reopening in her reused ba&sh printed blouse and Chloe caramel colored trousers. I really love this outfit. She wore the blouse when meeting a new board member of the Mary Foundation in 2020 (here) and the trousers in new family photos from 2022 (here).

Mary accessorized her beautiful look with golden necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. I also see golden earrings but I can't figure if they are new or old. Ideas? We get a glimpse of a matching diamond bangle from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen as well. 

The smashing brown suede pointed pumps are old ones from Gianvito Rossi. Mary also wore them with another one of my most beloved outfits at the launch of the 2022 UNFPA "State of World Population Report" (here).

Day 2. UN's 77th General Assembly

22nd September 2022

Crown Princess Mary joined her husband a day after her husband arrived in New York. On his third day - and her second day - the Crown Princess participated a number of meetings with a focus on the Danish candidacy for the UN Security Council and on the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

In the morning, she met with Denmark's UN ambassador Martin Bille Hermann to talk about Denmark's candidacy for a seat on the UN Security Council in 2025-26. Later, Crown Princess Mary met with representatives from UNEP to learn more about their global work within the environment and biodiversity agenda. In the afternoon, she spoke at the "How do we best respond to the disproportionate impact of rising food insecurity on women and girls". Read the speech here.

Last event that day was for her to attend  a reception on occasion of lancing the Danish candidacy for the UN Security Council in 2025-2026.

I rarely do not like what Mary is wearing, but the day before (on her arrival), I was troubled about her look. That truly changed the following day. She looked absolutely splendid in that brand new Ba&Sh dress. I learned about this new dress from Heaven, you identified it. It got some incredible, yet simple, details.

Mary accessorized her black dress with golden jewellery from some of the most skilled jewellery designers. Among others, Dulong Fine Jewelry. They created her diamond studded earrings and that huge diamond ring. Actually, they also mastered her other ring with the colorful stones. And of course, Dulong Fine Jewelry is also the creator of one of the golden bracelets. Her other bangle is from Rebekka Notkin.

She matched the outfit with nude pointed Prada pumps and her beloved Prada handbag. Mary changed her shoes during the reception to her beloved sling-back flats from Chanel (here).

The "Womenomics Nordic Business Conference" and a meeting with UN Women.

May 18

In 2017, Crown Princess Mary received "The Womenomics Awards" for her with to help girls and women both in Denmark and abroad (here). Five years later, she was the one presenting this years Womenomics Award. They were given to four women: actress Trine Dyrholm, the tech entrepreneurs Christine Herbert and Nima Tisdall and CEO Caroline Farberger.

So, what is "The Womenomics Awards" and how do you achieve to get one? The Womenomics Awards honor important rolemodels, which in their own way have made an extraordinary contribution in the field of diversity and equality. Both professionally and personally.

The award show took place in Copenhagen and was part of the Womenomics Nordic Business Conference. Numerous diversity experts and politicians also participated the conference. They discussed latest statistics, trends and solutions in the field of diversity and gender equality. Crown Princess Mary also participated these panel debats.

Later that afternoon, the Crown Princess hosted a meeting with Sima Bahous. She is the CEO of UN Women. Sima Bahous informed the Crown Princess how UN Women work to fulfill the fifth goal of UN's Worldgoals. The fifth goal concerns equality. Director of UN Women Nordic Office Caroline Rusten also attended the meeting along with planning and coordination specialist at UN Women Executive Office Sarah Brun.

Mary had two very important events to attend on May 18th. First the presentation of the Womenomics Awards at the Womenomics Nordic Business Conference and later she had a meeting with Sima Bahous from Un Women. Mary had chosen to wear a brand new dress for both events. I learned that the dress is from ba&sh from UFO No More. Nor sure, I am crazy in love with the dress, but she wears it beautifully.

She embraced the style of her new dress with plenty of incredible jewellery. First thing I noticed was her two new necklaces. Both of them are creations by Dulong Fine Jewelry. Mary's stylist and close friend Anja Camilla Alajdi has worn the exact same combo - just with her own initial (here). Maybe Mary got inspired? She also wore a pair of earrings and a ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry. The stunning golden bracelet is from Cartier. So is the watch.

I always admired how Mary makes nude accessories look this splendid. The matching Chanel handbag and pointed Gianvito Rossi pumps makes an outstanding addition to the rest of the outfit.

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).

Virtual family meeting

26th April

We rarely see the Scandinavian royal families gathered. It mostly happens at big celebrations and official state visits. This time, the Danish Crown Prince couple participated a virtual family meeting with Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel from Haga Slott in Sweden and from Skaugum in Norway Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit attended the gathering.

They spend some time talking about their families and how they are during at this point. The three couples also shared insight in their work with for instance patronages.

Like everyone else, they all look forward to meet again - hopefully soon.

This outfit really made my day. Mary looks absolutely outstanding. Yes, it is a rather simple outfit but it is really well put together. I just wish we were able to see a bit more of what she wore. What we do see is a reused blue and white pinstriped button-down blouse. It features the most incredible details. Like the little collar of ruffles. Heaven made me aware that Mary's lovely light bue blouse is from BA&SH. Looks like she was wearing either black trousers or a black skirt.

Something that also caught my eyes (and yours), is her brand new earrings. From Kate I learned that these new earrings are from the Danish jewellery designer, Louise Grønlykke. Look at those colors. Splendid. They match the blue blouse perfectly.

Her hairstyle and makeup made a wonderful final touch with the rest of her outfit.

A new board member

22nd September

Yesterday, Crown Princess Mary welcomed a brand member of the Mary Foundation's board. In a post on social media the Crown Princess thanked Troels Boldt Rømer for his future participation in the Mary Foundation's work to combat social isolation.

Like the Crown Princess herself, Troels Boldt Rømer has quite a lot on his resume already despite his only 26 years of age. He has previous experience with social work. The young man has also worked as chairman for Danish School Students. Today, he is chairman of Red Cross Youth. Impressive, right? And now he is also a board member of the Mary Foundation.

In her post, Crown Princess Mary also shared how excited she is about their new board member especially when it comes to new ideas and creative solutions to reach a younger audience.

Congratulations to Troels with the new job and to the Mary Foundation with their new member. We look forward to follow their progress.

At the meeting with Troels Boldt Rømer, a new board member of the Mary Foundation, Mary was dressed in what looks like a brand new blouse. A black and white creation featuring simple flowers and some other pattern. Heaven now managed to identify Mary's new blouse as BA&SH. We still do not know for sure if she wore the pattern as a blouse or dress. To me it looks like she matched it with a pair of black trousers, which is why I believe in blouse. With only two pictures and with half of her body covered by a table we have to make a guess. Let me know if you hear or see anything exciting. I am all ears.

Mary had chosen to embrace the style (and time a year) with green earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry. They go back to 2009, when she attended the opening of "Nordic Aphasia Conference" at University of Copenhagen. Actually, on the day of her 5th anniversary, here. We haven't seen them for a couple of years now. The golden bangle is also a design created by Dulong Fine Jewelry. Next to that, you see her Kknekki hairband.

She is also wearing a brand new ring on her right hand. It features a green paraiba tourmaline stone and diamonds. It is a unique custom-made trinity ring created by Dulong Fine Jewelry. The little black clutch is a favorite of hers for such meeting's. I think it is from Carlend Copenhagen, here.

Opening of Naturkraft

12th June

It was a day of flowers, wind machines, experiments and lots of smiles, when the Crown Princess attended the opening of "Naturkraft" (Force of Nature). It is a brand new universe of experience in Ringkøbing. This new universe combine learning with play and make it another way of learning about the green transition. Through especially sensory experiences, the place should help us learn about the forces of nature and how to deal with these forces, and use them to our advantage instead of fighting against them.

For sure we cannot help yourselves from being thrilled that she is back, but what hit my while looking at all the new pictures I realized that she looks even more thrilled than the rest of us. She was one big smile from the moment she arrived. The welcoming was sincere and warm - despite Crown Princess Mary at one point looked a bit cold. But that smile make everybody warm again, right?

The Crown Princess officially opened Naturkraft by cutting the tradition red ribbon, only, the ribbon had been replaced by a branch of flowers. Beautiful. When visiting the new facilities she made a few new friends, among others, the wind machine that gives you a clear view on how vest wind feels like on the Danish coast. Seems like it was truly a wonderful day for all of them.

On her way home from, she made a private visit in Ringkøbing, here. She was spotted by some of the bypassing citizens in Ringkøbing. The Crown Princess took time visiting one of Prince Henrik's sculptures named "Miss Ringkøbing". The sculpture was first given the name "Miss Fredensborg" because Prince Henrik made it as one of the first sculptures to Fredensborg Castle. Later Ringkøbing purchased the artwork and it is now located at Ringkøbing Square.

Showing up in Ringkøbing Mary had chosen one of the most casual looks we have ever seen I think. Very simple, comfortable and all relaxed. She looked great in that new creamy white linen blazer. Though it is as simple as it can be, I think you should take a look at all the details. It embraces her body beautifully. 

Mary styled her new blazer with, what I believe, is a reused button-down shirt. One with pin-stripes and a lovely dusty blue color. I believe she wore it at a weekly meeting with the Mary Fondation in September 2019, here. I has been found by Heaven at BA&SH. Despite a closet full of black trousers, these seems to be new. Like how the style is a bit baggy. Makes her outfit way more casual and loose than if she had worn a pair of fitted trousers. I like this very much. Unfortunately, I am not able to provide you with much info about neither her blouse, trousers or blazer.

What I do no for a fact, is that Mary stunned wearing golden hoops from Dulong Fine Jewelry such as with the rather large golden ring. I see another reused piece of jewellery and that is her diamond bangle from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. There are some more bracelets, but the lack of pictures makes it hard to tell the identity of those pieces - yet. Could be her Cartier bangle. The necklace is from talented Nadia Shelbaya.

She topped it off with a colorful scarf. A white and orange leopard (?) scarf that goes back to 2012, here. It has never been identified and it still isn't. Of course, we cannot forget about the shoes. Cap-toe espadrilles shoes from Chanel. This is the first time she wears them at a public appearance, but in fact we have seen them before. Last year, when the family visited different cities and places all over Denmark as part of their holiday, here. So, tell me do you like this second "back-to-work" outfit?

"Danner - A Countess of the People"

28 August

She is one busy woman, who arrived home from a long vacation only a couple of weeks ago. On Wednesday Crown Princess Mary arrived to the Danner House in Copenhagen to watch 'DANNER - A Countess of the People'. A play that shows life as a woman during the 19th century. The play is based on the life of Countess Danner, who was married to King Frederik 7.

Countess Danner was born Louise Christine Rasmussen in 1815. She later married Frederik 7 as his "second wife" which means that if the couple had any children they would not inherit the throne. But that is a completely other story. In 1873, Countess Danner decided to set up a foundation and built a house for vulnerable women. In the end there were no more money left and the house where sold. The new owner wanted to demolish the building, but it never happened. In 1979, women took over the house and bought it back as a women's house. Danner House has served as a women's and crisis center and today Danner is a private organization that works nationally and internationally to stop violence against women and children in close relationships, here.

Crown Princess Mary attended the event as chairwomen and founder of the Mary Foundation, who shared the post below on Facebook. She was in a splendid mood despite tropic weather. From first raw the Crown Princess watched the play that portray Countess Danner and her life as Countess of the people.

Kongehuset ● Det Danske Kongehus ● PPE Agency ● Billed Bladet ● Frederik et Mary

The weather was unbelievably warm that day, when Mary attended the play in Danner House. Despite that she had chosen a black dress featuring length and 3/4 sleeves. Hopefully it is not as warm as it look. I am a fan of black, but during summer time black is banned from any outfit. How do you feel about black?

Well the dress is a reuse. It goes back to 2017 when she first wore it at Copenhagen TV-Festival 2017, here. Maybe you remember the outfit because it looks almost exactly like her outfit worn on August 28th. Mary embraced the style of the dress with an unidentified turquoise necklace and matching ring. Even the clutch and heeled sandals matched with perfection. I am still not sure where both necklace, ring and clutch are from so if you happen to know more than me let me hear from you.

Mary also styled her look with Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and a golden bracelet. I also see one bracelet from Cartier. The others I do not recognize at the moment. What made me most excited is her shoes - Alexandre Birman heeled sandals. I adore the design. She first wore them in 2013 at Copenhagen International Fashion Fair, here. Since then I had a dream that one day they would be part of my personal shoe collection. Anything from Mary's closet you wish were yours? (I have quit a list myself).

Inauguration of the Center for Cancer Immunotherapy

Friday, August 18th

On Friday the Crown Princess attended the inauguration of the Center for Cancer Immunotherapy taking place at Herlev Hospital in Herlev. It was a rather sunny day when the Crown Princess arrived to Herlev, where she was warmly welcomed with flowers, handshakes and smily faces. During her visit she was given a guided tour around the new facilities where she was told more about the center's work. The Crown Princess also offered her help to complete the final experiment for a new cancer vaccine. For a few moments she had the chance to work along with Doctor and PhD student at the Center for Cancer Immunotherapy, Morten Orebro Holmström. It was with great interest the Crown Princess listened to everything she was told during the experiment. A rare sight to see Crown Princess Mary wearing a white doctor coat, but I think it suits her very well. 

Attending the inauguration of the new Center for Cancer  Immunotherapy in Herlev, Mary was beautifully dressed in a reused red printed dress from BA&SH. It is not the first time we see her dazzled this little wonder. In 2016 when she visited New York on occasion of the United Nations' General Assembly, here. This time she embrace a chic and sophisticated style by accessorizing the outfit with several pieces of jewellery -earrings, necklaces and bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry, Orit Elhanati and Cartier. Quality jewellery designers. Lately, we have seen her wear a lot of the same jewellery. Especially her golden Orit Elhanati necklace and bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry featuring different coloured stones. Exquisite. Other than plenty of beautiful jewellery she wore a pair of brand new suede pumps. According to Royals & Fashion these are from Gianvito Rossi and I think she is absolutely right. Can't wait to see how and at what occasion she will wear these again. Maybe with a pair of white trousers? In a matching nude colour we have her reused suede clutch from Hugo Boss seen at several previous occasions both here in the country and abroad. A really lovely outfit that goes perfect with the days event.

In the evening the Crown Princess attended the opening of Copenhagen TV-Festival taking place in Skuespilhuset in Copenhagen. As guest of honor she was warmly welcomed by CEO of the festival Mette Sig and CEO of Copenhagen Film Fund Thomas Gammeltoft at the arrival. She was in a great mood with a large smile on her face. Every year the festival is taken place in Copenhagen where national- and international people are gathered, among others, to get new inspiration. The festival is one of the biggest in the industry. The evening was a little more special this year because Oscar winner Jane Campion was the one to present the two first episodes of the Australian series Top of the Late: China Girl as a Northern European premiere. The Crown Princess seemed to has enjoyed her evening in Skuespilhuset along with all the other attendances. Not that many pictures have been published, but from what I see she had a great evening.

I does not come as a surprise to me that she had chosen a black dress for the Copenhagen TV-Festival event. Quickly it was identified by Kate as a BA&SH design. It features a V-neckline, a stretch waist and a slit at front which seems a little miss-placed. Nevertheless, she looks great wearing her new black dress. Mary had accessorized her evening look with several colourful jewellery. Necklace and matching ring have been more before in February when she attended the Danish Swimming Award 2017, here. At that time she was wearing the jewellery as a match to her bright blue suit. Have to say, my eyes enjoyed that previous outfit a... bit more than this. Not that I don't like her outfit from the festival because I really do. But much is needed to outdo that other look. I still haven't found out exactly who is the designer, but a similar one has been found, here. For both necklace and ring I have had Amrita Singh in mind all the time. Well, now you know my thoughts about it. What is yours? Other than the colourful necklace and matching ring, she also wore golden jewellery from Dulong Fine Jewelry, Cartier and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Once again I am amazed by how she manages to combine silver and gold jewellery. Never been a fan, but a few years back I discovered how beautiful it is. As with the dress Mary wore a brand new black clutch featuring... bells. I haven't found anything similar yet. Last, but not least she stunned wearing her Alexandre Birman sandals. First seen in 2013 when she attended Copenhagen International Fashion Fair, here. A wonderful pair of shoes.

Visiting 'Værket'

Thursday, April 27th

Crown Princess Mary visited Værket which is a project made in collaboration with Red Cross and the Mary Foundation. The visit took place in Copenhagen. 

* Kongehuset * Royals & Fashion * Frederik et Mary * PPE-Agency * Daily Mail * Ksiezna Mary * Billed-Bladet *

Since 2015 have the Mary Foundation and Red Cross been collaboration on the project Værket. The project aims to remedy loneliness among adults between 30 and 60 years. So it is really all about creating new memories, good experiences and connect people in the local community. Værket is acting in so called "networking groups" that arrange different activities etc. In 2016 Mary met with one of these networking groups in Slagelse, here. On Thursday she met with a networking group at Nørrebro, Copenhagen. During her visit Mary was introduced to a few of their exercises. The reason for her visit is the project Denmark Eat Together which is organized by People's Movement Against Solitude who, by the way, work in collaboration with both the Mary Foundation and Red Cross.

In windy and cold weather the Crown Princess arrived to Nørrebro, where she was kindly welcomed by a flower girls handing over a bouquet to Mary. During her visit Mary took plenty of time speaking with as many as possible. She wasn't in a hurry at all which is what I thing Danes, and everyone else, love so much about her. The Crown Princess always takes time to listen. She was also offered a little something to eat before her visit ended a few hours later. As always, a true pleasure. 

April weather in Denmark changes almost every minute. For this reason it is not the most easy thing to the right outfit. Still, Mary did a pretty good job trying. Not sure I am a huge fan of every single piece, but the combination is exquisite! At the arrival she was wearing what I think could be a brand new bright blue coat. The colour really makes me smile. Underneath Mary has chosen a new white blouse from ba&sh and even new BW trousers from Julie Fagerholt Heartmade. So far I haven't been able to identify these three new pieces. It is with help from Kate I am able to telly you where these two pieces are from. Thanks to all of you who made me aware of the identification! Perfectly matching the rest of the outfit, she wore a pair of navy blue suede pumps. Because lack of pictures I do not know for sure if it is her pumps from Gianvito Rossi or Pura Lopez. Have you seen anything that can help me find the right ones? She embrace the chic and rather casual style by wearing rose quartz earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a pearl bracelet. We also got to see her golden Shamballa Jewels bracelet again. Couple of years ago she was wearing it at almost every attending occasion. Last but not least she, once again, showed us a way to reuse her black Bottega Veneta bag. Just lovely!

Along with both young leaders, representatives from among others governments, the private sector and academia, the Crown Princess attended a morning meal at 7:15 am local time that gave all of them the opportunity to exchange experiences and knowledge, which was the main reason why they were all gathered over a common meal.

With paper and pen she attended a meeting with High Level Task Force for ICPD, which she is also member of and has been since 2012. In the afternoon it was time for her to participate the Stakeholder Commitments to Safeguard Maternal Helath During Humanitarin Crises: Presentation of the 'Safe Birth Even Here' Campaign as patron of UNFPA where she gave a speech. At this meeting she was sitting next to the Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund, Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin, whom she also met with after the meeting.

It was at a reception at 5:30 pm local time she attended Tuesday's final event. I bet such conferences is worth a lot for attendances as the Crown Princess and of course all the other representatives taking part in some of the events in New York. 

I doubt I have to say that of course the cause of matter is way more important than Mary's new dress. To make sure, I want you to know that her committment is worth much more than what she's wearing. Most were dressed in classy black blazers - white and grey. Simple, minimalistic colours, much use by Scandinavian women. Not Mary. She radiated in a brand new bright red dress.  Featuring a print I had a hard time figuring out where to find it. First I thought about exotic birds. What was your first thought? It was at Royals & Fashion, here, that I learned it is from BA&SH. A brand she has worn once before. Really interesting print. The more I look at it I think it looks like flowers. What a strong dress to wear at a conference like this. 

Would love to see what shoes she wore, but I have not been able to find a photo that shows them. It was with jewellery from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Cartier she styled her outfit. Oh... and of course the stunning beige (maybe even nude) leather bag from Prada. A strong, though quite casual look on her second day in New York.

On the occasion of the UN Children's Convention celebrates 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child that Mary visited the Danish refugees school Løjtegards school in Kastrup. Mary arrived to Løjtegards school in a really good mood. She was warmly welcomed by many of the schools pupils. During her visit she had plenty of time to talk with several of the children who were more than thrilled to say hello to a real princess. One of the classes had completely transformed their classroom so that it looked like a refugee tent because of this very special occasions. It was a great surprise and the Crown Princess was very impressed about the work they had done. From what I see in the pictures, I believe it was a great day for all of them. It seemed to me like Mary had all the time in the world with these kids.

Well... maybe not what I had in mind. Not that a cardigan and a pair of black trousers aren't good but this new black and white piece doesn't really make anything easer for me. I hope the relatively cold and windy weather is the reason why she has chosen to wear it. Thought the cardigan is not in my taste you still deserve to know who designed it. Sophie is the one who identified it as BA&SH, a French design we haven't seen Mary wear anything from yet (at least not what I am aware of). To me it looks like she was wearing a pair of black ankle boots but I have no good picture that can confirm my suggestion. Something I know for sure is who designed the silver chain necklace. Charlotte Lynggaard did. These necklaces and small penguins are made in collaboration with the Children's Foundation and the money goes to support at water project in Africa. I am really eager to hear your thoughts on this one.
