The Mary Foundation's Network project

Wednesday, October 8th

Crown Princess Mary visited the business school Tietgen in Odense on occasion of school using the Mary Foundation's project Netverk. 


Yesterday was simply amazing! Love to watch the arrival of the royal family members when the Danish Parliament is about to be opened for a new year. If you missed my post, you'll find it here. Well, that was all yesterday. Today the Crown Princess visited Tietgen business school in Odense, all because the school works with one of the Mary Foundation's project Network -or Netverk in Danish. The project is working to prevent and reduce loneliness among young people, here, which is just one of the Mary Foundation's focus areas. It was in a splendid mood the Crown Princess arrived to Odense accompanied by her lady-in-waiting Christine Pii Hansen. She was warmly welcomed with handshakes, flowers and wide smiles. Shortly after the arrival the Crown Princess entered the stage in front of several hundreds students and gave the opening speech on why loneliness is such an important topic to talk about. Afterwards, Mary took plenty of time talking to as many students as possible before she left Odense.

It was no warm day when Mary visited Tietgen school. Nether the less she had chosen no jacket, just a simple black blazer from Helmut Lang to keep her warm. Think it is the second time she's wearing that blazer. To match this Mary wore a dazzling new black and white printed dress which has taken me quite a while to figure out where is from. To make sure, then I am not the one identifying it. The dress was found at Julie Brandt and designer I do not think Mary has ever worn before. It is always great to get to know new brands and it's even better when Mary is the one introducing us! By the way, notice the very chic detail with the leather lapel. For a looooong time I was so sure her black pointed were from the designer L.K. Bennett, but you keep learning. A picture appeared online, here, and they have now been identified as SAND Copenhagen, a Danish brand just like the dress. Trying to find the pumps this designer crossed my mind, but it is pretty hard finding anything from this specific brand. I want to thanks all of you who have helped my trying to track down her shoes! Other then the black pumps, Mary embrace a everyday chic outfit with earrings and ring both from Jewlscph, such as a Carlend Copenhagen clutch.

Opening of the Parliament 2014

Tuesday, October 7th

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended the annual opening of the Danish Parliament taking place each year on the first Tuesday in October.  

* Princessesblog76.blogspot.com

There are so many annual occasions to look forward to each year when being a royalist. One of them is differently the opening of the Danish Parliament, something Mary and Frederik has attended every year since their marriage in 2004 expect from 2005. That year Frederik attended on his own because Mary was heavily pregnant with their first born child, Prince Christian. He was born less than ten days later. Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik, Prince Joachim and Princess Marie and Princess Benedikte also attended the opening as usual. All four women were given a beautiful bouquet of flowers at the arrival after which they all found their seats on the balcony in big parliament hall (which indeed is a magnificent place to be). 

I am deeply in love with what I see!! She was so graceful, elegant and polished wearing a new white coat, new purple pumps, a new purple pill box hat and matching leather gloves. A true 50's/60's outfit, in my opinion the most glamorous time of them all. Her new pill box hat has now been identified by Heaven as a Jane Taylor (AW14) creation. Thanks for the help! Every detail of this outfit is just perfect. 

It was love a first sight when I first saw her new white coat. Magnificent design and lovely details featuring golden buttons at front. To find this coat hasn't been easy for me and I'm not the one to credit this time, because the sweet and wonderful reader Heaven was also able to identified the coat as Chloé. I know I will never have such coat (even though I would really like to!) still you are allowed to dream, just a little bit. 

Both bracelet and matching earrings are from Marianne Dulong. On her right hand she wore 3 thin silver rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and the stunning gold bracelet are made by Shamballa Jewels. The little checkered clutch in black/white is one we have seen before, which I’m very sure comes from Prada. If you know more about it and have other information’s please let me know. Until then, it’s a Prada design ;) Her beautiful purple suede pumps are from Ralph Lauren.

I know you all love Mary's outfit, as much as I do, and find her looks very inspirational. Many of you have expressed how much you like watching her old outfits and this is really a great time to share pictures of old outfit. This is why I have gathered pictures of all her previous outfits attending the opening of the Parliament from 2004 till 2013. 

Enjoy! 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013

Award ceremony of FSR

Monday, October 6th

Crown Princess Mary attended the award ceremony of FSR (Danish Auditors) taking place at Børsen, Copenhagen. 


Over 20 times have the FSR awards be handed over. 20 times, that is pretty much. This year, actually I believe Mary has attended more than once, attended the Crown Princess to hand over the awards to the winners. Along with a few words, Mary entered the stage and announced the four winners. Best Corporate Sustainability Responsibility (CSR) report was given to AP Møller Mærsk. CEO of AP Møller Mærsk Nils Smedegaard Andersen gave a short speech followed by a group photo of all the winners with the Crown Princess standing in the middle. Mary was also the one to hand over a anniversary diploma to Novozymes.

Arriving to Børsen in Copenhagen, Mary was dressed in the most incredible (and stunning) white dress! Featuring some dazzling details. I want to thanks all of you who have helped me trying to identify this new dress. What you, my lovely readers, found out it that JOSEPH is the creator of this wonder. Perfectly matching the dress she embrace the style by wearing white pearl earrings from Marianne Dulong. A pair of earrings she has worn countless times before, at all kind of occasions. Anything from gala dinners to everyday event. Don't think I will ever be tired of these. Another thing we have seen her wear multiple times before is her nude, low, Christian Louboutin pumps featuring that characteristic red sole. What makes this outfit outstanding is the studded belt. I still do not know where it is from, but I keep thinking of Valentino's Rockstud shoes and clutches. She matched both shoes and belt with her beige suede Hugo Boss clutch. A simple and stylish outfit, that is pretty easy to copy if you fancy that.

Earrings: Marianne Dulong
Dress: Joseph Lynne belted dress 
Clutch: Hugo Boss Beige suede clutch
Shoes: Christian Louboutin Simple Pump 100mm

City walk in Næstved

Monday, October 6th

 Crown Princess Mary visited Næstved and participated in a city walk with a school class. It was on occasion of the project Schools for 200 year's as the Crown Princess is patron for. 


Celebrating the 200th anniversary of the school in Denmark is really a big deal and I truly understand why. It is indeed an important thing to celebrate. As patron of the Schools for 200 year's Mary has already attended several events on this occasion. Yesterday she visited Næstved to participate in a city walk along with a school class. Arriving to Næstved she was warmly welcomed, not only by a bunch of school kids, but also city mayor and Minister of Education Christine Antorini. From the second the Crown Princess arrived till she left going back to Copenhagen, Mary was in a splendid mood (despite the windy weather). She was one big smile. To me it seems like she was having lot of fun and enjoying herself along with all the young people, who also seemed to enjoy her company. Who wouldn't enjoy Mary's company? Warm, kind, down on earth. No doubt this was a great day for all of them.

As perfect as the day was, as perfect was Mary's outfit. I am completely blown away by everything I see. The navy blue colour is a winner. Probably the most beloved colour for Scandinavian women during autumn and winter -besides black, of course. A trend Mary embrace beautifully. It is not the first time we see her wear something navy blue and it is truly a success again. Personally I'm also a huge fan of this colour and is very fond of wearing anything blue. Absolutely love the combo with the oversize Massimo Dutti coat, a white button-down shirt and that tight jeans. Makes a great look! Accessorizing her outfit with a pair of Isabel Marant shoes, just makes it even more amazing. You do remember these boots, right? Think the first time we saw them was during the family's visit in Greenland not that long ago. Then we have the flower earrings which are from Jewlscph and this time a single diamond ring from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. What can I say more than; dazzling! I imagine myself in something similar soon.
