Opening of "Creative Summit"

June 23, 2021

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 bordeaux leather belt from & Other Stories dated back to 2016.

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.

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.

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!
