Crown Princess Mary attended this years Save a Mothers Life at Mothers Day organized by the Maternity Foundation in Copenhagen. 

The Maternity Foundation 

In 2005 is the Maternity Foundation established by Henriette Svarre Nielsen, M.D. in Obstetrics and Gynocology along with five other women. With the vision that "No women should die giving life", the foundation aims to reduce maternal and newborn mortality in developing countries where more than 800 women die every day from complications of pregnancies and childbirth. Since 2010 has Crown Princess Mary been patron of the Maternity Foundation. You find more info about the fund and their work here. 

Save a Mothers Life at Mothers Day / Red en Mors liv på Mors Dag

... has since 2007 been the Maternity Foundation's way of celebration Mother's Day which supports the foundations vision of no women should die giving birth.

To be able to launch a new project is something really big also for a foundation as the Maternity Foundation and this was exactly what they did on Monday April 28th. The foundation launched Save a Mothers Life at Mothers Day (Red en Mors liv på Mors Dag) campaign with attendance of Crown Princess Mary who have been the fund's patron since 2010. Is there a better way of celebrating something that is in favor of women and children which is exactly what you are working for, than inviting the Crown Princess? -No I do not believe so. So both a Crown Princess and patron attended Mary the launching which took place in Danish Design Center, Copenhagen. The campaign allows you as a private person to support the foundation's work by purchasing a special designed Mother's Day card, this year designed by artist Anika Lori. As keynote speaker entered Mary the stage and gave, as usual, an impressive speech on why this is so important not just to her but also the women living in development countries. This year the campaign is especially necessary as the countdown to achieve the UN goal of reducing maternal mortality by three quarters by 2015. Despite we will in the 21st century, 800 women still die of complication from pregnancies and childbirths which could have been prevented if they have had some educated help. I'm sure we will hear much more about all this in the near future because of Mary's commitment to girls and women's health, rights and well-being.

Darker colours are always a perfect match to golden accessories. No doubt about that. What I really like about this look is how she managed to build up an outfit from the dress. Doesn't that green colour just suit her well? I think it makes the best out of her fair skin and lovely dark brown hair. Kate managed to identify her dress as Prada.

Drawing attention to her rather small waistline, she wore a three layer golden necklace I have really been looking forward to tell you about. It is from the Danish jewellery designer Jane Kønig and features three different necklaces. The longest and mid necklace features one pendant each and the last one have two smaller pentanes. Now you may have guessed it. But each golden pendants are engraved with each their own letter: C(hrisitan), I(sabella), V(incent) and J(osephine). Yes, you are right. One for each of her children. Isn't that cute?! I just love it. Same style as the necklace Mary wore several bracelets; two of them from Shamballa Jewels and Georg Jensen. Actually she was wearing quite a lot jewelleries, also Marlene Juhl-Jørgensen earrings and a stunning leaves rings created by I'm Jewel. Everything we have seen before, but not like this. 

We also got to see her incredible Christian Louboutin pumps again, maybe not the best match with the dress? Or then, it's really quite nice. To carry her speech and what else she brings with her, Mary added her brown croco clutch from Danish Carlend Copenhagen. A style I could get use to! A powerful and stylish look but yet still casual. No, really I do not know who she do it.

Crown Princess Mary visiting the Lind Care and Activity Center

For one day has Mary traveled to Herning in Jutland and around noon she arrived to the Lind Care and Activity Center who are using welfare technology in the care of the older residents living at the care center. In a black crown car she arrived and was welcomed by Mayor Lars Krarup, Tonni Svensson who lives at the care center and area manager Hedvig Toftegaard. There were great cheers from those in attendance, kids waving with the red and white Danish flag and people with cameras. Like Mary all the attendance were very happy and in a fantastic mood. The most amazing thing was to see the older residents faces when the royal guest of honor arrival, they were so thrilled to see Mary and those who met her shone across the face. During her visit she was treated with cake and coffee along with the 125 residents, staff and other guests. There is just something unique and warm about elderly. I have always loved being with them, they have so many good stories to tell  and regardless of age we can learn from them. It makes me maudlin to see how the elderly are treated well at the Lind Care and Activity Center. One of the center's residents apartments were showcased during the visit and to me it seems like they are doing great, surrounded by things they from their life and everything that matters to them. The apparent belonged to Regitze Jacobsen who was extremely glad and honor to meet the future Queen. We need to take care of all people in our society no matter who they are. End of story. These people have worked all their lives for the country we live in today and we should thank them for what they have done for us. Sadly I haven't been able to find any pictures to share with you, because there are so so many wonderful pictures out there from the visit. Instead I found a little video which might be even better. Watch it and I will assure you that your heart will melt down.

The absolute best was to see her with the residents. See their happy faces and how much it means to them to meet Mary. I can't deny that closely followed is her outfit. Sigh. A red suit! I want one right away! If I'm correct this is the first time ever we have seen Mary in a red suit and I truly hope it will not be the last time. Red is symbolized with so many things from hate to love, no matter what it's symbolized with great power. Personally I love wearing this colour and to see Mary in a red made my day even better. Wauw. Wauw. With a white blouse, the red Hugo Boss (Fall 2013 Ready-to-wear) suit she matched the Danish flags the kids were welcoming her with. I'm sure you all noticed the lovely beige coat, by the way a fabulous colour next to the red suit, which actually is reused. The coat is at least 12 years old. Pretty cool -I think so! In 2001 Mary visited Denmark for the first time and Billed-Bladet got a picture of her, where she is wearing the exact same coat as this one. Then two, 2003, years later at the christening of Ellen Hillngsø and Christoffer Castenskiold's son, Thomas, Mary attended wearing the beige coat again. As far as I know we haven't seen it since. Till her day in Herning. It kinda makes me happy to see such and old item again because even though so many years have pasts I think she wear the coat even better today. Unfortunately I do not know who the designer is such as the brown pumps. I once heard that her pumps should be from Christian Louboutin but I doubt that. Do you happen to know anything about them? In a third brown nuance she wore a brown hand-made clutch from Carlend Copenhagen. When she took off the coat her silver lurex cardigan from By Malene Birger was visible such as a three-chain necklace featuring round pendants. At first I wasn't able to find out where who designed this new necklace. Then I realized that it's a three-chain necklace featuring a pendant with each child's initial. Long = C, Christian _ Medium = I, Isabella _ Short = V+J, Vincent+Josephine. The short necklace features two pendants. Take a look at this pictures here and I'm sure you will see what I mean. The necklace is from Danish Jewellery designer Jane Kønig. I love the fact that she is wearing a necklace with each of her children's initials. What any mother would do. The only thing that changed with her outfit from one event to the next, was that she was not wearing the silver cardigan at the swimming event. Simply because of the heat inside the swimming hall I think. 

Crown Princess Mary attended the Short Course Championships in swimming

After she visited the Lind Care and Activity Center Mary attended the Short Course Championships in swimming in Jyske Bank Boksen as the patron of Danish Swimming. At the arrival to Jyske Bank Boksen she was welcomed by the volunteers at the event. This year it is the first time European Championships in swimming at the short course for seniors is held in Denmark. The Championships lasts from December 12th to 15th. I think one reason why she was wearing these specific colour might be because she was also attending a the Short Course Championships in swimming and wanted to represent Denmark in the best way, supporting the participants. Seems like it worked because the Danes won! It was a Danish record and world record in the girls relay. The Danish team was Pernille Blume, Jeanette Ottesen, Kelly Riber Rasmussen and Mie Ø. Nielsen, who won in distance 4x50 meter free. I congratulate the team with the victory! They girls was also congratulate by Mary who handed over the golden medals. Rikke Møller Pedersen was lucky to get a photo of her and Mary, you see below. With this photo we can also see the white blouse she wore much better. 

Så blev det en fantastisk aften. Dansk rekord og verdensrekord i pigernes holdkap. Ja og så mødte jeg lige Hendes Kongelige Højhed Prinsesse Mary, som er ambassadør for dansk svømning :)

March, 16

Program

The last day of their visit to Chile was a bit more unofficial and you had to wait so long to see the last day because no pictures have been published. Luckily Billed Bladet took some! She was dressed in a pink printed shirt from Heartmade by Julie Fagerholt (Spring/Summer 2013) wearing a pair of dusty blue long trouser and ballet flats at the opening of the new solar heating area next to Gaby mine made by the Danish company Sunmark. A funny thing is that Mary's blouse matched Frederik's trousers and the other way around. So it is possible for a couple to dress alike without wearing the exact same colour. As on the 5th day she carried a bright blue Prada handbag. The three-chain necklace is from Jane Kønig.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary at the inauguration in Atacama Desert

Nothing's better then get the chance to see the woman called Crown Princess Mary dressed in pastel colours on a trip to Chile! They were attending several different event yesterday which means different outfits every time they changed location. Yeah. The first one is differently my favourite; a silky creamy white blouse and a pair of pink/white printed capri trousers with a pattern I would call -cute. With the beige L.K. Bennett wedges her look is so feminine with a classic touch of the black pearl Marianne Dulong earrings and bracelet. They are usable for both everyday and evening because of the timeless design and materials, 18-carat gold and Tahitian pearl. Se added a little more bling with a three-chain necklace with round pendants. They are pretty popular as 'friend tags' you can write your own, a friends, child's etc. initial on the small pendant. Because of the popularity of these necklaces is available at almost every jewellery brand, Mary chose hers from the Danish designer Jane Kønig. Do you just need one of these as much as I do?

I fell to mention that she almost copied her outfit from one she wore in 2012 when her, Christian and Isabella enjoyed some hours at the circus Cirkus Dannebrog.

At the European Southern Observatory

After having seen all the sweet pictures and the interview with the couple from the observatory I think it was a very special experience for both of them. They were literally acting like they were no one else around them. Mary brought her camera and took lots of pictures of the overwhelming view and photos to remember good memories with her husband from a official visit wasn't planned. Just like Mary took pictures of Frederik, he took some great one of her. If they were as great as the one the press published they are perfect for a scrapbook. Now you might think; haven't we seen that colourful blouse before. Well almost, because she have a jumpsuit with the exact same print. From the start I was a fan of the jumpsuit, I have a thing with jumpsuit even though I can't wear them because of my hight, but as a blouse the print also works very good. Differently a blouse I think we'll see it again. You might remember the designer, Style Butler. She added a brown belt to mark her waist and wore white trousers.
