Around noon the Crown Princess arrived to Aalborg to attend the opening of Advice for Life (Råd til Livet). A project developed by the Mary Foundation to combat social isolation. The project was inaugurated at the Mother's Help in Aalborg who work with Advice for Life. The Mother's Help offer legal and financial help is needed and helps pregnant women and families with children in vulnerable situations. Help is also given to young people and battered women. All these and many more areas of action are some Mary and the foundation works with, so it is ideal for Crown Princess to attend the event in Aalborg. She was in a really good mood when she arrived. With flowers and handshakes she was welcomed for attending the opening of Advice for Life. Mary took plenty of time talking to as many attendances as possible. People gladly shared their story and experiences with the Crown Princess who, with great interest, listened to everything she was told.

Arriving to Aalborg to attend the opening of Advice for Life at the Mother's Help, Mary stepped out of the car dressed in a lovely outfit. She was wearing matching black trousers and a turtleneck. Am I the only one who noticed that Mary has been wearing black a lot lately? Never mind. I am really glad to see that Julie Fagerholt Hartmade jacket again. It is not the first time she wear it, but the jackets looks new every time. Even Princess Madeleine of Sweden has been seen wearing the exact same jacket. I can't seem to find a picture right now, but if I do, I will share it with you. Though I think the rest of her outfit is a bit too plain, then the jacket really makes the difference. And of course her amazing snake pumps from Christian Louboutin! Overwhelming who much a pair of shoes can do for an outfit. A pair of heels can change everything. Any black outfit should be worn with such shoes! As other accessories she wore diamond earrings from Hartmann's, rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and not the forget, a thin bracelet from Anni Lu. Love all these little details. Last but not least, she was wearing her black Carlend Copenhagen clutch. Think this outfit would do good at any time a day. With another hairstyle I would not hesitate to wear it during a dinner.

About two hours later the Crown Princess attended another event in Aalborg with one of the Mary Foundation's project called Klubfidusen. The project is made in collaboration of the Mary Foundation, Save the Children, DBU and TrygFonden to strengthen the community and prevent bullying in football clubs in Denmark. When the Crown Princess arrived it was pouring down, but nothing seemed to stop her. Very relaxed and down on earth she blended in with the rest of the attendances. She attended the event along with CEO of the Mary Foundation, Helle Østergaard. Both of them were warmly welcomed at the arrival. Klubfidusen is all about football, which of course means that Mary joined a game even though it was still raining. Mary just put on a jacket and joined the game. Everybody were having so much fun!

Not even pouring rain can stop Mary when she's on duty. A few hours later when she arrived to the football club AaB in Aalborg, she had changed clothes to something a bit more practical. Understandable, because who on earth can play football in heeled Louboutin shoes? No, right? She favourised a pair of blue and green New Balance sneakers and a navy blue Moncler jacket with knitted sleeves. When it started raining, she added a blue Nike jacket to the look. She was also still wearing her diamond earrings from Hartmann's and rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Both kids and Mary had a great time playing football, despite then bad weather. Before leaving, she received a gift to her son Christian which was his own football T-shirt with his name on.

It was a very windy day when the Crown Princess arrived to Middelfart to attend the inauguration of bridgewalking across the old Lillebælt bridge between the two Danish cities Middelfart and Fredericia. It has taken about four years to make the bridge ready for the bridgewakling attraction. She was warmly welcomed with flags, handshakes, flowers and hundreds of smiles. She was one big smile herself. The Crown Princess began the walk across the bridge from Middelfart and ended up in Frederica. The walk took place over 60 meters above the ground. I am so afraid of hight's and can't understand why anyone would do this by them self. But Mary seemed to enjoy the wind in her face and sight across the sea. While walking on the bridge, she was told all about the two cities by Mayer Stten Dahlstrøm and Mayer Jacob Bjerregaard. In Frederica she also attended the opening of a new tourist attraction. Afterwards she was suppose to be driven back to her hotel Trinity in an old vintage car. By accident she is the one sitting behind the wheel and end up driven back the car herself to the hotel! What a lovely story.

When visiting Middelfart she was dressed in one of her white turtleneck's, a pair of black trousers and her checkered Massimo Dutti coat -you remember, the reversible one. A great outfit for a sunny and windy day. Her hairstyle was all natural as with the makeup. The diamond earrings are from Hartmann's and seen multiple times before. I wouldn't mind adding them to my jewellery box, but I am pretty sure I will never be able to afford such diamonds. Still, you are allowed to dream, right? Arriving to Middelfart she was wearing a reused pair of navy blue, suede wedges. Since the first time we saw then, I have been looking everywhere to identify them. Though Mary was worn them several times, I still do not have a quality close-up picture. L.K. Bennett has been suggested several times and the main reason why I haven't recognized this as the right answer to the question of where they are from, is because they haven't been found in the right colour -and the fact that we have no close-up. Now I'm convinced because I found a model in navy blue as the one Mary is wearing. Walking across the bridge she changed to a pair of New Balance sneakers.

It is now two days since the Crown Princess arrived to Ethiopia late in the evening. Yesterday the official program started with a visit at a refugee camp in Southern Sudan, Ethiopia. On Tuesday Mary and Minter of Trade and Development Mogens Jensen visited the village Afambo where they got to meet many of the townspeople. Both of them were invited to a little meeting with the people living in Afambo. Later in the afternoon the Crown Princess visited a hospital dealing with female genital mutilation, where she met some of the women who had been subjected to circumcision. From what I see, hear and read then this made a huge impression on her. For those of us who have never been their on our own, I'm not quite sure we will ever understand what these people are going through -under what conditions they are living. Something we will never understand. No people on earth should ever experience what they live with every day.

On her second day in Ethiopia Mary was dressed in beige trousers and a printed shirt. With sunglasses she protected her eyes from the sun and with her hair in an updo, I'm sure she tried to stay alive in the heat.

The Crown Princess arrived to Ethiopia the day before on February 15th for her three days visit. She is traveling along with Minister of Trade and Development Mogens Jensen whom which she has traveled with one previous occasions. At the arrival she was dressed in black and a navy blue outfit caring a bag with all her essentials. On the first day in Ethiopia she visited a refugee camp Tierkidi in Southern Sudan. Here she and Mogens Jensen got the chance to meet with the people living in the camp. They told their stories, how they have been helped and the situation they are facing. Mary also planted a tree, sang, danced, helped caring water and much more. It always makes me so proud to have a Crown Princess like her, paying attention to those in need. No doubt that she is able to attract attention on such a visit, both among the people she meet and in the media. Showing attention and care, such as listening gives people hope. She has for years effortless been working to improve girls and women's well-being, health and rights. These trips make her see for herself what needs to be done and how help have already improved these people's lives.

During her and Mogens Jensen's first day in Ethiopia she was dressed in earth colours -beige, rusty red, brown. She paired a shirt with long trousers and sneakers, sunglasses to keep her eye protected from the sun.

Asserbo Gold Junior Club had a special guest visiting them yesterday, because Crown Princess Mary showed up. She was there to hand over a prize which was given to the club because of their gathering to the Children's Welfare Day which the Crown Princess is patron for. She was met by over 20 energetic and happy children who was more than ready to play some gold with Mary, because of course there was time to play golf. It is not often you get to play golf with the future queen of Denmark. Mary also took time to met and talk to some of the attendance who had showed up to get a glimpse of her. It was all very relaxed and the usual bouquet of flowers was replaced with a few short roses.

Just like the atmosphere, Mary was very relaxed dressed in a pair of black trousers and light blue shirt. Think we have seen it before somewhere, but I can't really remember when or where. Nor do I know its identify. Do you know anything about it? She matched the button-down shirt with a lightweight down jacket. Would love to have one myself, but somehow it looks a bit... strange on me. Do you own a down jacket? -What do you do to make it look outstanding? Can't wait to hear from you. She had decided to wear a pair of beige New Balance sneakers featuring golden details and then a snake printed scarf which I am pretty sure is from Stella McCartney. Nothing other than her engagement and weeding rings, she embraced the simple and casual style when playing golf in Asserbo.

There is a first time for everything also for the Crown Princess of Denmark. While her husband, Frederik, has attended Roskilde Festival several times before this is the first time he is accompanied by Mary. Oh.. I simply adore when we get to see the royal couple like this. Though they are followed by the journalists and photographers they still have time on their own. Truly believe they had a great day together! One of the big names playing at the festival is The Rolling Stones and with Frederik as a fan of rock music, they of course came to watch their concert which began at 10 pm. local time. The royal couple five hours before and had plenty of time to enjoy each other during the evening. Pretty sure it was a great concert from what I read.

What to wear at a festival in the evening and the weather only promise you it'll be a late summer night? Well, Mary has the answer (as usual). Something practical and nice at the same time, of course. When her and Frederik arrived she was wearing a striped blue/white blouse featuring long sleeves and navy blue west from Moncler. Also that new electric blue down jacket is from Moncler found by Kate. The blouse I do not know anything about, but really all designers have a striped blouse similar to this one. She'd paired the cosy outdoor wear with slim dark jeans. On her feet she wore a pair of light blue sneakers from New Balance perfectly matching the rest. And of course, not to forget, a pair of sunglasses. Later she had a quick change from a striped blouse to a new t-shirt designed by Bjørn Ivar Liland from Olso on occasion of the festival. His design was voted as the most popular one. He won the competition among the designers who helped to design this year's t-shirt. It is also available in men's sizes.

Day 3: Visit to Myanmar

January, 12th

The visit focuses on women and girls' rights in the third world which Crown Princess Mary has been very committed to focus on with her work as Crown Princess of Denmark.

On her last day in Myanmar is was clear why it means so much to Mary to make a difference. The day before, she arrived to Sittwe and was confronted with what is the reality for thousands of people in Myanmar. A reality that is far from anything you can experience in Denmark. When Mary on January 12th visited the camp Say Tha Mar Gyi in Sittwe, she got the chance to meet some of the Muslims who have been displaced from their homes and now are forced to live in temporary camps like the one Mary visited. In the state of Rakhine more than 115,000 people faces this situation. During her visit in camp Say Tha Mar Gyi she was warmly welcomed by Danish Refugee Aid (Dansk Flygtningehjælp) and some of the refugees who are staying in the camp. Many had come to greet the Crown Princess, with a smile she took the time to talk to as many as possible, hear their stories and give them a little comfort. For many it was a great experience to meet Mary, who had plenty of time to listen. Because of Mary's tranquil nature, no one had difficulties telling their otherwise difficult stories. Among others she met a 15-year old boy who had lots his mother and was terrible sad when he told Mary about it. He could not hold his tears back talking with her and Mary did everything she could to show her support and comfort. It was a clearly affected Crown Princess that visited the camp in Sittwe on her last day in Myanmar. After visiting camp Say Tha Mar Gyi, she visited another camp called Sat Roe Kya where displaced Buddhists are now forced to live. Here she got the opportunity to see how a scholarship can benefit and how much it can contribute to help families. She was surrounded by children all the time who did everything to get her attention among others when she handed over games and other toys in a kindergarten in the camp. The children immediately played with the games and enjoyed the time with their new toys and Crown Princess.

She wore black shades to protect her eyes from the strong sun as the long sleeved blue shirt and the beige trousers. A casual dressed Mary in new New Balance sneakers and messy hair.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary visiting Winmalee

The situation is a little special in Australia, especially around Sydney, these days because of massive bushfires raging and many families have lost their homes. This has been going on the last week or so. Not only houses have been destroyed but cities as well are damaged because of the fires. This is the reason for the couple's official program was changed a bit, to visit some of these families and volunteer firefighters from Winmalee Fire Station who all work to repair the damages. When Frederik and Mary arrived to Australia a few days ago they expressed their concern in a short interview to the Sydney Morning Harald, telling that they have followed news about the bushfires closely from their home in Denmark the past eight days. Among others Mary says this: "Our deepest sympathy goes to those who have been affected. Our respect goes to those who work in controlling fires that are really scary." Very thoughtful of them to show they sympathy and meet some of those who tragically lost their homes. It was clear that both of them were affected by what they saw in Winmalee in the Blue Mountains area which has been hit by rampant bushfires. The ruined houses was blocked by police to make sure who ever comes near them aren't in danger. The couple spoke with family member who lost their house, police men, firefighters such as volunteers to her their stories and how the devastating fires has affected them and what they do to help as much as possible. They have my deepest sympathy and I hope the families will be able to recover after all this. It must be terrible to loos your home to a fire.

Despite the horrible situation, the royal couple were met by smiles. I think it was important to these families that the couple took the time to think of them and met them in person, showing their deepest sympathy. Dressed casually in jeans, a white lace blouse and a blue cardigan -nothing very spectacular but I really like that all her attention went to the locals. That's what's important about this visit.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended a gala concert at the Opera House

Their evening was a bit more happy. They attended the 40th anniversary gala concert for the Sydney Opera House both looking their absolute best! Thousands of people had gathered to get a glimpse of the couple and there was plenty to look at despite the fact that there were only two of them. Mary delivered a speech during the anniversary gala concert. She stepped right in front of thousands of people on the big stage and everyones eyes were on her, standing on her own so everybody could see her. With the black background she was lightning like a snowflake in the white Prada coat and wonderful new Valentino dress! Her speech was broadcasted on a huge flatscreen. Mary once again found her seat next to Frederik and he could not stand to give his wife a kiss because of her great speech. I love to see such tiny almost invisible moments like this. The concert was held with Sydney Opera House in the background, standing like a giant. It was with flags, waving hands and happy faces the couple arrived to attend the gala concert on behalf of the Opera house 40th anniversary. After the concert there was a firework in playful colours. A great way to end a great evening.
