Convention on the Rights of the Child

Thursday, November 20th

Crown Princess Mary visited the Danish refugees school Løjtegårds school in Kastrup on occasion of the United Nations Children's Conventions celebrating 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. 


On the occasion of the UN Children's Convention celebrates 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child that Mary visited the Danish refugees school Løjtegards school in Kastrup. Mary arrived to Løjtegards school in a really good mood. She was warmly welcomed by many of the schools pupils. During her visit she had plenty of time to talk with several of the children who were more than thrilled to say hello to a real princess. One of the classes had completely transformed their classroom so that it looked like a refugee tent because of this very special occasions. It was a great surprise and the Crown Princess was very impressed about the work they had done. From what I see in the pictures, I believe it was a great day for all of them. It seemed to me like Mary had all the time in the world with these kids.

Well... maybe not what I had in mind. Not that a cardigan and a pair of black trousers aren't good but this new black and white piece doesn't really make anything easer for me. I hope the relatively cold and windy weather is the reason why she has chosen to wear it. Thought the cardigan is not in my taste you still deserve to know who designed it. Sophie is the one who identified it as BA&SH, a French design we haven't seen Mary wear anything from yet (at least not what I am aware of). To me it looks like she was wearing a pair of black ankle boots but I have no good picture that can confirm my suggestion. Something I know for sure is who designed the silver chain necklace. Charlotte Lynggaard did. These necklaces and small penguins are made in collaboration with the Children's Foundation and the money goes to support at water project in Africa. I am really eager to hear your thoughts on this one.

The Bambi Charity Award 2014

Thursday, November 13th

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended the Bambi Charity Award 2014 in Berlin. The Crown Princess received her own award.

This is indeed a wonderful and amazing day, because our very own Crown Princess Mary is in Berlin accompanied by her husband to receive The Bambi Charity Award 2014. The award has been handed over since 1948 and was originally a film award where the winner were chosen by readers of the Filmrevue Magazine, who voted for their favourite movie star, here. Surrounded by hundreds of photographers, reporters and countless prominent guest; the Crown Princess couple arrived at Stage Theatre at Potzdamer Platz, Berlin. Everyone was screaming to get their attention. The couple were covered in lights from the photographers cameras. At the arrival they were welcomed by the evenings hosts. It was a very proud and honor Mary who entered the stage to give a speech on behalf of her receiving the prestigious award, here. She receive the golden bambi, which by the way is a symbol of hope, for among others her dedicated and committed work with girls and women's rights and healthcare solutions. She handled the whole situation as a true star though I believe she was very nervous. Notice how proud Frederik is of his wife. During the entire evening he is just smiling. Congratulations Mary! You deserve this award so much for everything you have done. 

Takes more than just a pretty dress to stand out on the red carpet surrounded by some of the most well-dressed Hollywood stars and Mary did absolutely great! Like everybody else I have heard comments from, I am completely overwhelmed and in love with how beautiful Mary was at the award show. She was wearing a off-shoulder evening gown featuring a small train which is from Jesper Høvring (AW14) in the most incredible midnight blue colour. I could probably talk for hours about this dress but I will leave all the commenting up to you. In that same colour she had chosen a pair of Prada silk pumps and a matching new clutch. At first I found a similar model form Michael Kors but shortly after I realized it is from Prada. She embraced the Hollywood-style by wearing a large aquamarine blue ring and chandelier earrings (which I have once heard are made by Marianne Dulong). Sure you also noticed that rather large diamond bracelet on her right wrist. This masterpiece is from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen's stunning flower collection. She stunned with burgundy nail polish and berry lips. An overall beautiful couple!

Internationl conference in Copenhagen

Tuesday, November 11th

As patron of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), is Crown Princess Mary attending an international conference dealing with FGM/C. 


Ou busy Crown Princess attended on Tuesday an international conference taking place at Christiansborg Castle in Copenhagen. The conference is dealing with FGM/C and is made in collaboration with among others United Nations Population Fund (which Mary is patron of) and UNICEF Denmark. Mary was kindly welcomed by Minister of Trade and Development Mogens Jensen whom she visited South Africa with beginning of November. Quite many representatives from all over the world attended the conference and Mary took plenty of time greeting as many of them as possible when she arrived. The Crown Princess was the one who gave the opening speech and as always she was well-prepared. In the evening Mary was invited as guest of honor to attend a dinner on occasion of the international conference held in Copenhagen. 

Mary was dressed in a simple black and white outfit; in a black turtleneck dress, a pair of black patent pumps from SAND Copenhagen and a long white jacket featuring long sleeves. The coat, she has worn multiple times and was first seen in about 2005 or 2006. What I have heard is that Chanel is the designer but I doubt that. I acknowledge the fact that Chanel are known to use such a material as used for the coat but we have several talented Danish designers who could have created it. Have you ever heard any other designer being mentioned? Actually Mary has two coat in very much the same style, here, here, here, here. I have never been able to figure out if it is the same or two different coats. Do you know anything about that? It could be the same, just altered. Enough about the coat. She accessorized her outfit with golden earrings from Marianne Dulong and a Shamballa Jewels bracelet. For quite some time I have been looking everywhere to find her black clutch and have had Carlend Copenhagen in mind but that was wrong. Pernille found it at a Danish designer Quidam. 

Earrings: Marianne Dulong
Bracelet: Shamballa Jewels Royal Bracelet w. Argyle White Diamond Pavé
Clutch: Quidam Calfskin Clutch

With UNECE & UNWOMEN in Geneva

Thursday, November 6th

Crown Princess Mary attended the conference Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women and Girls for Sustainable Development in the Economic Commission for Europe region. The conference takes place in Geneva. 




The Crown Princess has not yet arrived to Copenhagen again because after a four days official visit to South Africa, where she stayed in both Cape Town and Johannesburg, she is now in Geneva. The reason for her visit is the conference Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women and Girls for Sustainable Development in the Economic Commission for Europe region. The conference has been organized by the United Nation and held to mark the 20th anniversary of the women's conference in China called Beijing+20. Mary arrived shortly before the conference was about to begin. She found her seat and spend several hours listening to everything discussed on topic's as poverty, sexual- and reproductive rights and health. The Crown Princess also entered the stage and gave an intense and honest speech. 

On her official stay in South Africa we have been lucky to see some really incredibly outfits, so did we at the conference in Geneva. Not much can beat a classy navy blue suit which, by the way, is from Elise Gug (AW14). She matched her look with a pair of pointed pumps from Pura Lopez. These she has been wearing quite a few times before but I haven't really been able to find out where they were from. Now I do. Sure you noticed that brand new leaf brooch right away. Didn't you? I did. Really a masterpiece. Often, especially, brooches are so hard to find because there is a change they are inherited or purchased old. Not that many women wear brooches any longer. Never mind. Boryana is the one to credit on this because she identified it as a piece from an Oscar de la Renta jewellery collection. As other jewellery she embrace the style with designers as Hartmann's, Orit Elhanati, Ole Lynggaard, Marianne Dulong and of course Shamballa Jewels. Last but not least, we have her stunning brown leather bag from Ralph Lauren. A magnificent bag! I will not hide that I am a bit (or pretty much) envious.
