Presenting the annual Christmas Stamp 2023
Opening of "A world-class Child and Adolescent Psychiatry"
03 November 2023
Every year since 1904, the Christmas Stamp Foundation has presented a new Christmas stamp. The money collected goes to the five Christmas Stamp homes.
The Christmas Stamp Foundation try to help strengthen wellfare and self worth for more than 1,000 children and young people every year. It is also the foundations core to fight against unhappiness, loneliness and bullying.
On Friday, Crown Princess Mary attended this years presentation as patron of the Christmas Stamp Foundation (here). Artist Lisa Grue presented the new stamp along with the Crown Princess. Lisa Grue mastered this years stamp. She was inspired by the title "Come along into the Christmas forest".
Around noon, she arrived in Hellerup to attend "A world-class Child and Adolescent Psychiatry" (here). The conference is arranged by the Novo Nordisk Foundation and the Psychiatry Foundation - which Crown Princess Mary is patron for.
Among others, she was given an inside in "Mind My Mind". A project offered to children and young people suffering from depression, behavioral disorders and anxiety.

This has to be the most incredible addition to her wardrobe! Her brand new floral printed dress from Saloni is outstanding. I can't get enough of it. The print. The colors. The silhouette. I wouldn't mind wearing this at any time. For any occasion. Mary styled the new dress with a reused navy blue Fonnesbech coat and matching burgundy suede pumps from Gianvito Rossi.
Love that Mary chose rather simple accessories with the dress. Her earrings are old ones from Figaros Bryllup and her rings are custom-made by Dulong Fine Jewelry. She also wore a couple of bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin.
Her fine little brooch shows the theme of this years Christmas Stamp.

The Crown Princess was not far from home, when she welcomed a new defibrillator at the entrance to Amaliehaven right next to Amalienborg. This new defibrillator was given to the Crown Princess back in 2019. A gift from the Heart Association, for which Crown Princess Mary is also the patron.
In 2019, the Heart Association gathered money for more defibrillators. The collected money was enough for 400 new defibrillators across the country. One of them is now placed at Amaliehaven in Copenhagen close to Frederik VIII's palace, where the Crown Prince family lives.
Crown Princess Mary wished to locate the new defibrillator somewhere in Copenhagen, where many people often gathers. That is by Amaliehaven was chosen. CEO of the Heart Association Anne Kaltoft handed over the new lifesaving instrument. I guess, the Crown Princess had her thing to say, when the place was chosen and she seemed happy about this location.
The Heart Association shared a little video on their Instagram of the Crown Princess on that behalf (here).
Even though sun and warmer weather has arrived to Denmark, we still need cosy outerwear. Mary's look is exactly what I mean. A longer wool-blend coat, gloves and a higher neckline. I would wear this in an instant. Love the combination of the navy blue Fonnesbech coat and the visible details of the her Ted Baker jumper. She first wore this magnificent coat at Copenhagen Fashion Week in 2016, here and at the latest at the Children's Day 2020, here.
The Ted Baker knitted jumper was a hard one to find. She wore it raptly in 2019, but it took quite awhile to identify it. Now we know who designed it and the characteristic ruffled details around the neckline and hemline, identify it right away. My guess is that Mary was wearing black trousers for this look and maybe some suede pointed boots. That would look great.
She simply embraced the style with darker blue leather gloves and a relaxed blowout. Her smile is indeed the best accessory. These pictures really made my day. The outfit is lovely and the occasion is thoughtful and important. Win-win.

Two live streamed events with only a couple of days in between. That is new. First, the Crown Princess participated in a live stream on occasion of the Youth Public Meeting on Wednesday, here, and then two days later yet another one with UNICEF. A great way to great your message out without too many people gathered at one place.
The live stream took place in Tivoli on occasion of The Children's Day 2020. Organized by UNICEF. When arriving to Tivoli, she was welcomed by her "debate group" (Vilma, Esther and Thea) and Sofie Østergaard - a UNICEF ambassador. The five of them seems to get along right away and that is important when to discuss a private matter such as well-being.
Vilma, Esther and Thea answered questions about, among other things, what it is to be a child and young person in Denmark. Also questions like children's well-being under the corona and about children's rights in a global perspective were discussed. Serious questions that can be answered in many ways. Points to the three girls, who did a great job.
She also asked the young girls for some help. Crown Princess Mary had been asked to pick a song for a popular Danish program called "Fællessang - hver for sig". A program organized by conductor Phillip Faber. Vilma, Esther and Thea helped her pick the song "I Danmark er jeg født" with text by Hans Christian Andersen.

If this look is not inspiring, then I do not know what is. I especially love her outwear. When arriving to Tivoli, Mary was wearing her old navy blue Fonnesbech coat. A stunning piece. Even the length is inspiring. So is the color. She matched it with a reused watercolor printed scarf from Paul Smith. We first saw this scarf 9 years ago in 2011. She has worn it at a couple of public event, but mostly it is worn at more private events. Like when the family visited LegoLand during their holliday at Gråsten, here. I really like this combo.
The interview revealed what she was wearing underneath that smashing coat: a simple white button-down blouse and black wide-legged trousers. An amazing look. I always loved these wide-legged trousers of hers and the Etro belt. She wears them so beautifully. Wish I had the hight and figure to wear such trousers. I don't.
She embraced the style with golden jewellery. I see hoops from Dulong Fine Jewelry; a couple of magnificent necklaces from Orit Elhanati (one of them is rather new) and a course her diamond band from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Nothing new about these pieces of jewellery, but she wears them like it was the first time - every time. I am sure you also noticed her pointed ankle boots from Pura Lopez. They go back to 2013. A lovely pair of fall accessory. Mary also accessorized her outfit with her blue leather tote from Prada. Once again, her grace overwhelmed me.
