Day 1. Official State Visit to Lithuania

January 28, 2026

Arrival in Vilnius

After a lovely last day in Estonia, King Frederik and Queen Mary flew directly to Lithuania to continue their travel. They landed in Vilnius Airport. The couple are spending two days in Lithuania.

Mary hadn't changed clothes from Estonia to Vilnius. She was still wearing her new grey tweed suit from The Fold London and her reused wool-blend coat from Harris Wharf London. Actually, I'm no big fan of grey but it looks kinda cool matched with green.

She kept warm with a knitted beanie, gloves and heeled black boots. The lovely bag is an iconic design by Ralph Lauren.

Welcoming Ceremony

King Frederik and Queen Mary have arrived in Vilnius, Estonia. President Gitanas Nausèda and his wife, First Lady Diana Nausèdienè welcomed the royal couple at the Presidential Palace.

Later on, the First Lady accompanied Queen Mary at a visit at the Ukrainian Center in Vilnius. The center is a social meeting place for Ukrainian families and children living in Lithuania.

Finally! This new stunning floral suit is everything I wished for. I truly missed her wearing anything but trousers. Then what's better than a floral printed skirt? I adore Mary's new Erdem set. Its silhouette is simply beautiful. Can't wait to see her wear it in the future.

Mary styled her florals with a reused headpiece created by Jane Taylor and fine white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Am I the only one who get that vintage-vibe? What is not to love! Even the Mulberry handbag added that sparkle of old-Hollywood.

I get it why she had chosen low-heeled boots because of the snowy weather but I'd loved to have seen the set with anything but boots - which by the way is from Gianvito Rossi.

State Banquet in Vilnius

President Gitanas Nausèda and First Lady Diana Nausèdienè hosted a magical state banquet at the Presidential Palace to welcomed the King and Queen to Estonia.

The list of invited guests were almost endless. I bet they had a wonderful evening.

Oh..! Mary looked absolutely splendid at the evening state banquet. Don't you think that new bordeaux Elie Saab gown is magnificent? I love everything about it. The slim silhouette, the one-side cape and thin belt. Missed evening gowns.

Not sure I've every really fallen for that antique tiara and matching earrings. Can't tell you why. Maybe because she had so many outstanding pieces of jewellery available and these pieces are a little too simple for an event like this... The the colours looks beautiful next to her fair skin and dark brown hair. We also get a glimpse of her custom-made Dulong Fine Jewelry ruby ring.

Both her Sergio Rossi patent leather box clutch and suede Gianvito Rossi pumps are both reused (and loved) pieces.

Mary looked absolutely stunning at the dinner! She matched a reused pink printed Erdem pencil skirt with a fine and elegant black blouse from Jesper Høvring. The Erdem skirt was first seen when the couple attended private birthday party at Gavnø Castle in 2024. Back then Mary matched it with a blouse in the same color and floral print. Which outfit do you prefer?

Mary accessorized her evening look with smashing Annikat earrings perfectly matching the pink skirt! The rather heavy golden necklace is a vintage piece from Christian Dior. Worn in January 2025 and in May 2024. I am very much interested to learn more about her golden ring. I believe we have seen it before.

I really like her choice of clutch and shoes. The Sergio Rossi and pointed Gianvito Rossi pumps makes the outfit even more wonderful.

Dinner for the United Nations Chief Executives Board

May 07, 2025

Earlier today King Frederik and Queen Mary arrived in Helsingør on board Dannebrog. In the evening the royal couple hosted at prestiges dinner at Kronborg Castle in Helsingør on occasion of Denmark hosting the United Nations Chief Executives Board.

Members of the United Nations Chief Executives Board, representatives from Greenland and the Faroe Islands, the Presidium of Folketinget and the United Nations General Secretary António Guterres were amongst the invited guests.

I love that Mary wore the same dress as when they docked Helsingør earlier today. She rarely wears the same clothes for two different occasions that same day. As hostess of the dinner at Kronborg Castle Mary had chosen to leave the Scanlan & Theodore jacket on board Dannebrog. Clever choice.

She matched the stunning blue printed Erdem dress with a smashing leather clutch from Christian Dior and dusty blue suede Gianvito Rossi pumps. The clutch has only been worn a few times but the pumps have both traveled Italy, Latvia, Japan and Sweden.

Her magnificent blue Aquamarine earrings goes back to 2004 and are a purchased from Bruun Rasmussen. The beautiful Aquamarine ring is a fine match with the earrings!

On board Danneborg

May 07, 2025

King Frederik and Queen Mary have now boarded the Royal Yacht from Nordre Toldbod in Copenhagen. The annual summer tour has officially begun.

The royal couple sailed from Nordre Toldbold to Helsingør on board Dannebrog. They were warmly welcomed at Kronborg Castle. The yacht will act os their residence during the summer.

This year King Frederik and Queen Mary will be visiting Frederikshavn, Thisted, Læsø and Samsø as part of their summer tour. Each year they visit different Danish cities just like Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik did before them.

Mary looked absolutely stunning in her reused Erdem dress! The soft blue color and the print are simply beautiful. I love the detailing with the collar, pleated skirt and puffy sleves. She matched the amazing midi-dress with an old Scanlan & Theodore jacket. I am not quite sure I would have chosen the same jacket with this dress but I like the idea.

She also embraced the style with an outstanding creation from milliner Katrin Cecilia Jacobsen. The shape of her hat is what I like most about it. Super classy and chic. Timeless and elegant. Mary added fine diamond earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe and a smashing diamond ring. I am still to identify it.

The same goes with her clutch. It is a reuse but I have never been able to find out about the designer. Maybe one day. A wonderful match with the beige python pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

Danish Hospital Clowns "Clown Conference"

04 November 2024

Queen Mary attended the Clown Conference in Middelfart af patron of the Danish Hospital Clowns. She was warmly welcomed by Petunia, Trudi and Todaysi - three hospital clowns, when she arrived to addend the conference.

Danish Hospital Clowns is a nationwide program in collaboration with twenty departments in child and youth psychiatry and with the children, young people and their families who are affiliated. The program was founded in 2016.

The conference focused on how to ensure room for the whole person in future child and youth psychiatry. Queen Mary was therefor invited along with the hospital clowns, professional staff from child and youth psychiatry and other collaborators in the field.

Queen Mary gave a opening speech. So did two of the hospital clowns Miss Lakrids and Baroli.

Mary looked absolutely beautiful at the conference in Middelfart! She wore a bright red reused Erdem blouse featuring a lovely floral print. She has worn it on give other occasion like when attending the Women Deliver conference 2019 and for workshop on social norms with the Mary Foundation in 2019. This time, she matched it with a brand new black midi skirt and a fine Celine belt.

I was very pleased to see the chunky Jimmy Choo pumps again. Somehow, I think they looked stunning with the rest of her outfit. So elegant and classy. Her amazing light blue earrings and matching ring are both from Pomellato. Like how Mary embraced the delicate blue detail on the blouse with jewellery in the same color. Looks like she had a wonderful day and was 100% comfortable in her outfit.

Summer tour with Dannebrog

- end of the tour

11 September 2024

Disembark Dannebrog

The King and Queen have enjoyed this summer on board Dannebrog visiting both Sweden, Norway, Greenland and a number of Danish cities - Bornholm, Ærø, Assens and Vejle.

Now the couple are back in Copenhagen and the summer at the royal yacht has ended. It has truly been an incredible summer! Don't you think? What a way to celebrate their first year as ruling couple of Denmark.

First a state visit in Sweden, then Norway followed by a trip to Greenland where the couple were accompanied by Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine. They ended this years session by visiting two Danish islands and two cities.

Somehow, I can't decide my opinion about this outfit. I really like her old navy wool-blend The Fold London suit. It's classy, chic and elegant at the same time. The details are outstanding. I'm also in love with the matching new patent leather pumps. Really clever of her to wear shoes in a similar color. Make the outfit look a bit more complete. I'm still on the look for the designer of her new pumps - any ideas?

The slash of green also makes a great combo. The Nina Ricci clutch is actually a cross-body bag with a removable strap. Mary first wore the clutch/bag at a business promotion visit in the United States in 2016. Then again in 2018 at the "World No Tobacco Day" and in Texas in 2019.

I also like the idea of matching the clutch with similar colors from the fine scarf, but the way she wore it as a hair piece, bothers me. For me it's a little too casual for the suit.

Mary styled her outfit with a fine anchor brooch, her beloved Halberstadt necklace and exclusive diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. This combo of diamond rings have been a favorite of hers for many years.

Gala dinner at Amalienborg

In the evening, King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted a gala dinner at Christian VII's Palace at Amalienborg for the officer of Dannebrog. Queen Margrethe also attended the prestiges dinner.

In Danish, the dinner is actually called a 'Strygemiddag' (stryge dinner). 'Stryge' is when the royal flag is removed from Dannebrog to mark the end of a successful summer tour.

Lately, I think Mary has switched from really classy and elegant outfits to confusing and odd combinations of clothes and accessories. Do you agree? Her outfit at the gala dinner was truly impressive! I always loved the colors of this Erdem dress. Looks amazing next to her fair skin and brown hair.

She first wore the dress 10 years ago at an anniversary event at the Opera on May 23rd 20214. Somehow, I favor her look from 2014 - except from the hairstyle. Her updo at the gala dinner take the lead.

Mary beautifully accessorized the fuchsia dress with stunning diamond and Amethyst earrings and a matching bracelet and ring. Think the earrings are a gift from her husband. The fine satin knot clutch is an iconic design by Bottega Veneta and the smashing purple suede pumps are from Gianvito Rossi.

Day 1.

Official state visit to Norway

14 May 2024

On their way to Oslo

The King and Queen just participated an official state visit to Sweden and are now on their way to visit Norway. They are spending time on board Dannebrog and is arriving in Oslo by the royal ship.

The couple shared a photo of the two of them a few hours before arriving in Oslo.

What an amazing photo! I love the whole atmosphere. Casual and relaxed. Mary looked beautiful in a simple black and white striped Max Mara blouse, probably jeans an a lightweight navy blue down vest from Yeti.

Best guess is that she matched the casual outfit with a pair of sneakers. The blue Gucci sunglasses are a reuse. First worn when inaugurating the hiking route 'Skudestien' in August 2023.

Official welcoming

King Frederik and Queen Mary arrived at Honnørbryggen in Oslo around noon and were warmly welcomed by the Norwegian royal family. What a sight! Followed by an official welcoming ceremony at Det Kongelige Slott.

The couple then attended a ceremony at the memorail site ' The National Monument' for the victims of the war in 1940-1945. They also had the pleasure of meeting the President of the Parliament Masud Gharahkhani before having lunch at Kongsgården.

Wauw! Mary looked absolutely stunning when the couple arrived in Oslo, Norway. So polished and elegant. Love how she matched her reused plain white Ralph Lauren jacket with that paisley printed Erdem skirt. She emphasized her slim waist beautifully with a dusty pink belt. Great color!

What Mary do best is color-combinations. Especially, when she wears accessories in the same color palette. Like the belt, Max Mara handbag and exclusive pointed Gianvito Rossi pumps. I am always amazed how she is able to find matching colors even crossing designers.

I am sure you noticed her fine earrings. Mary inherited them from Queen Margrethe - who actually wore them on her official 18th birthday portrait. Mary first wore them in 2012. According to Billed Bladet, Mary's new brooch also belonged to Queen Margrethe. It goes back to Queen Lovisa.

Visit at 'Oslo Science City' and 'MiNaLab'

Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit accompanied King Frederik and Queen Mary, when the couple paid a visit at 'MiNaLab' which is part of Oslo University and it an open laboratory for students and scientists.

The royal couple were given an insight into current research in microchips and the potential of quantum technology, such as the cooperation between Norway and Denmark on the green transition.

Love how Mary and Mette-Marit matched their outfits. Both wearing a fine blouse and wide-legged trousers. Mary had chosen a brand new blue and white striped button-down from Bagutta and old Chloe trousers. The color is simply wonderful. Never really thought about paring blue and brown.

She also wore a rather new brown leather handbag from Anya Hindmarch. First seen on May 7th 2024. We also get a glimpse of new Malone Souliers mules. I am not their biggest fan, but Mary wear them with such elegance.

Her stunning jewellery are Orit Elhanati earrings, a golden diamond studded Halberstadt necklace and a custom-made ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Splendid combo!

Gala dinner at Det Kongelige Slott

What a wonderful night it was when King Harald and Queen Sonja hosted a prestiges gala dinner at Det Kongelige Slott in Oslo.

Both Crown Prince Haakon, his wife Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Princess Astrid also attended the fine dinner.

It was indeed a magical night! Everybody looked so happy and all were well-dressed. Loved Queen Sonja's dress. The color is amazing. Reminds me a bit about one of Mary's Jesper Høvring dresses. Crown Princess Mette-Marit also looked beautiful in her two-piece.

Nevertheless, Mary took my breath away in her altered Birgit Hallstein dress. The Danish tailor really did a great work with her old gowns from from 2015. It is hard to believe it is even the same dress. Completely transformed. I adore the new details!

What's even more fantastic, is that Mary wore the exquisite Danish Pearl Poiré Parure - previously worn by among others Queen Margrethe, Queen Ingrid and Princess Louise. Read more about the parure at 'The Royal Watcher'.

She also embraced the evenings outfit with a reused silver clutch, her beloved Halberstadt necklace and shiny Manolo Blahnik pumps.

Day 2. King Carl Gustaf's Golden Jubilee

15 September 2023

Kungl. Slottet, Stockholm

Queen Margrethe, Princess Anne-Marie and the Crown Prince Couple arrived in Stockholm the previous day to attend the grand celebration of Kin Carl Gustaf's Golden Jubilee. The Swedish king celebrate his 50th anniversary.

On Friday, they all accompanied that Swedish royal family and visited King Gustaf 6. Adolf of Sweden's memorial side in Hagaparken (here). 

Later on, the Queen, Princess Anne-Marie and the Crown Prince Couple attended a church service in Te Deum. The service was then followed by changing of the guards. The royal family watched the changing from the balcony of the royal palace.

Wauw. Mary looked soooooo beautiful when attending activities on occasion of King Carl Gustaf's Golden Jubilee on September 15th. It is the second time she wears this amazing blue printed Erdem dress. First, was when Denmark hosted an official visit from Norway earlier this year (here). Mary embraced the delicate style of the dress with a matching fascinator. 

I have never been able to identify it, but hopefully I will some day. It goes back to the coronation in the Netherlands in 2013 (here). Love its simple and elegant design.

As jewellery, Mary had chosen stunning diamond earrings once purchased at a Bruun Rasmussen auction back in 2022.

She matched the dress and fascinator with a beloved Quidam clutch, Gianvito Rossi leather pumps and what looks like a lovely blue cardigan.

Gala dinner

In the evening, friends and family were invited to attend a gala dinner at Riksalen at Kungl. Slottet (here). Both Queen Margrethe, Princess Anne-Marie, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended the dinner.

King Carl Gustaf gave a welcome speech before the dinner, where he embraced his role a King of Sweden. How much it means to him to represent Sweden, his family and the Swedish people. He also took the opportunity to thank his beloved wife, Queen Silvia for spending her life with him.

If the midnight blue evening gown in fact is a reuse with alterations, I have not confirmed, but it looks a lot like another one of her gown (here). Nevertheless, her gown worn at the gala dinner in Stockholm is mastered by Danish designer Lasse Spangenberg. About now, he has created quite a few dresses for her.

Mary styled her evening look with a very special tiara. Her wedding tiara. It was given to her by Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik. Her new parents-in-law. The story goes that her aquamarine earrings are a gift from Crown Prince Frederik. But I do not know for sure. The story is the same with the HUGE ring. 

The two diamond cuffs are made by Annikat. Love that she wore both of them. We get a glimpse of her wearing a diamond hairpin - which I believe is a brooch. I think it could be this one.

She also matched the outfit with a blue satin box clutch from Prada and satin pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

Day 2. Officiel visit from Norway

16 June 2023

AARHUS

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary accompanied King Harald and Queen Sonja in Aarhus on Friday (here). The couple have traveled all the way from Oslo to attend an official visit in Denmark.

The Crown Prince Couple attended the opening of business conference and a dinner the previous day (here) and thereby accompanied Queen Margrethe, King Harald and Queen Sonja.

The royal couple arrived in Aarhus by Dannebrog - the royal yacht (here). In Aarhus, they joined the King and Queen of Norway for a business conference at DOKK1, a meeting with Norwegian students and Denmark and had official lunch at Aarhus City Hall.

Before leaving Aarhus, they attended "LiteratureXchange" - a literature festival.

What is not to like? Mary looked like the most incredible bouquet of flowers in that brand new Erdem dress. I am truly impressed. Her new dress is so beautiful. The details are exquisite. The pleatings, the neckline, the belt and soft sheer sleeves.

She embraced the style of her new dress with a reused hairband purchased from Miss Haidee Millinery. Mary first wore this stunning hairpiece at the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the ordination of women to the priesthood in April 2023 (here). She matched it with smashing Gianvito Rossi pumps made of python. Even the clutch matched. This is still unidentified.

The fine diamond earrings and one of her rings are also still unidentified, which is quite impressive because both earrings and ring have been in her wardrobe for many years. Still no clue. The other diamond bands are from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

RECEPTION 

The previous day, Queen Margrethe hosted a dinner at Amalienborg. The following day, King Harald and Queen Sonja hosted a reception on board the royal ship Norway (here).

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended the reception.

At the arrival, they were warmly welcomed by the Regal Couple. Wonderful to see the four of them together.

Mary was beautifully dressed in a reused floral dreamy blouse from Giambattista Valli matched with new white trousers. She first wore this blouse when celebrating Crown Prince Frederik's 50th birthday (here). I hope to identify her new trousers, because they are incredibly beautiful.

She styled the outfit with a lovely hairdo showing magnificent golden earrings from Rebekka Notkin. These earrings are also worn before. Like, when the couple presented "The Crown Prince Couple's Prizes 2019" (here). Her golden bangle is also a reused creation from Rebekka Notkin.

We get a glimpse of a beloved 'F'-necklace as well. It is from Halberstadt.

The yellow Yves Saint Laurent clutch goes back to 2009 (here). It was truly love a first sight. I really adore this clutch. Mainly because of the color.

She had chosen reused golden Malone Souliers pumps. I was never really a huge fan of these pumps, but Mary wears them with such elegance.

The wedding of Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan & Miss Rajwa Khalid Alseif

01 June 2023

WEDDING CEREMONY

Royals from all over the world were invited to Amman in Jordan to attend the glamorous wedding of Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan and Miss Rajwa Khalid Alseif - now Princess Rajwa.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary represented Denmark at the wedding.

Beautiful as always! Mary indeed wore an award winning outfit at the wedding ceremony in Amman. It is the fourth time she is wearing that floral printed Erdem dress. 

First, she wore it in 2017 when celebrating King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway's 80th birthday (here). A couple of years later, Mary stunned again at the 20th anniversary of the American Chamber og Commerce (here). Last but not least, she wore the incredible Erdem dress at the wedding of Prince Gustav and Carina Axelsson in 2022 (here).

At the wedding in Jordan, she embraced the elegant style as wedding guest with a soft grey belt and a matching large hair bow. Never thought we would every see Mary wear a bow like this. Very chic. Clever of her to wear her old grey Manolo Blank pumps.

The delicate golden necklaces are from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. All-time favorites at the moment. The custom-made diamond earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry have been in Mary's jewellery box for many years. They come with several different pendants - among others, these diamond drop-shaped ones.

WEDDING RECEPTION

In the evening, Crown Prince Hussein and his wife (now Crown Princess Rajwa) hosted an overwhelming wedding reception for their wedding guests. This gave royals from all over the world the opportunity to engage a little chat.

More than 1,700 people were invited to the evening reception and following dinner at the Palace Al Husseiniya.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary also attended the reception.

I get it if Danish designer Jesper Høvring is proud to see her dress in Jordan at the prestigious wedding. It is indeed a big deal. 

Mary first wore the dress for the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel Westling in 2010 (here). A year later, she showed up at a charity dinner in Australia wearing an altered version of the dress (here). She also stunned wearing the gown when celebrating Prince Joachim's 50th birthday in 2019 (here). Now, Jesper Høvring changed the dress once again. It is indeed beautiful and perfect for the occasion, but a small part of me still loves the first design most.

What design is your favorite? 2010, 2011 or 2023.

Better photos then revealed that Mary embraced her princess-like outfit with a rather new tiara purchased at Bruun Rasmussen Auction and earrings matching. She also wore a few bracelets and a fine ring. All of it looked perfect with both gown, clutch, shoes - and hairdo.

We also have a glimpse of her golden necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau.

Queen Margrethe's 50th anniversary: church service, lunch and gala dinner

11 September 2022

Many events have been cancelled and given a new date due to the worldwide pandemic. Some of these events were related to the celebration of Queen Margrethe's 50th anniversary as Queen. Finally, we are able to celebrate the Queen. Still, many events are still cancelled and delayed. But something are better than nothing.

On September 11, family and friends were gathered to celebrate the 50th anniversary. First with a special church service in Vor Frue Church in Copenhagen. The same church were the Crown Prince Couple got married back in 2004.

Later on, the family and special invited guest were having lunch at Dannebrog. The royal yacht. Also regal couple from other nordic countries attended the lunch. Both the Swedish King Carl Gustav and his wife Queen Silvia, and the Norwegian King Harald and Sonja attended the lunch on board Danneborg.

Mary truly looked stunning during the day celebrating her mother-in-law. She had chosen to wear a magnificent new Erdem skirt with her simple white Ralph Lauren jacket. I learned about the skirt from UFO No More. I am truly amazed by this purple embroidered skirt. Just look at that beautiful embroidery. The think light grey belt was a clever details.

To match the rest of her outfit (and youngest daughter, Princess Josephine), Mary was wearing her beloved Aquamarine brooch. A gift given to her by Queen Margrethe, when Prince Christian was born. Mary has worn this brooch on many different occasion. Maybe a small gesture on this very special day? The shiny diamond earrings are a purchased from a Bruun Rasmussen auction a few years back. 

Mary's wonderful headpiece is a creation by milliner Susanne Juul. Sadly, she is no longer making hats. The grey suede pumps troubles me. They look very similar to other of her shoes, but something is still not quite the same. They stay unidentify for a while. At least I am not convinced yet about the designer.

For sure you noticed Mary's brand new Christin Dior handbag, right? Not sure, I would ever had my eyes on it, but she wears is with such grace.

What a magnificent way to end a wonderful day. People fro near and far, were invited to attend a prestiges gala dinner at Christiansborg Castle in Copenhagen - with Queen Margrethe as hostess.

Queen Margrethe, the Crown Prince Couple, Prince Joachim and Princess Marie welcomed all the guest with a handshake and lots of smiles, when they arrived. And it was truly an amazing evening for all the guests. Outstanding dinner, speeches in honor of the Queen, beautiful decorations and entertainment. Especially, Crown Prince Frederik's speech to his mother captured most of the world (here). His admiration for his mother was clear.

"... you can be sure that I, as your second-in-command, am right behind you. Loyal and full of respect for the journey you have taken and continue to take us all on." - Crown Prince Frederik

I think, I lost my breath. Simple as that. Mary looked absolutely breathtaking at the gala dinner at Christiansborg. Look at that evening gown. Jesper Høvring created this stunning dress. I love how the black lace cover a soft golden dress underneath. It looks almost delicate. So exquisite and elegant. This is by no doubt one of my favorite gowns of hers. It takes quite a lot to make my top three.

Somehow, the red ruby parure makes the most perfect match to her outfit. The black lace and the rubies are a match made in heaven. She is wearing it after Queen Ingrid - Queen Margrethe's mother. Crown Prince Frederik inherited it after his grandmother and now Mary is wearing it. The ruby ring was added later. It was crafted by goldsmiths from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

I was surprised to see that she wore her hair down for an event like this. It has only happened a few times. But I love it!

We also get a glimpse of black lace pumps from Gianvito Rossi. For once, I think the shoes looks good with the rest of the outfit. I have never been a true fan of these pumps, but now I am. Sergio Rossi is the designer of Mary's black glitter box clutch.
