First Lego League 2014

Saturday, November 29th

Crown Princess Mary attended the opening of the Scandinavian finale for First Lego League. It took place in the House of Industry, Copenhagen.


In a great Mary arrived to the House of Industry, Copenhagen, to attend the opening of the First Lego League. This project gives young people in the age between 9-14 the opportunity to experience the fun of science and technology. The young people work in groups or small teams to build amazing constructions of LEGO. More than 25,000 teams from 80 countries are today working with the project who comes from all over the world. Today 500 students were gathered from both Denmark, Sweden and Norway to compete to build the best LEGO Mindstorm robot. And it was on this occasion the Crown Princess visited the House of Industry. Usually she is welcomed by the sweetest flower girl but this time was a bit different. A robot carrying a bouquet of flowers was the one who welcomed her at the arrival. It was great fun to see her facial expression when she first saw the robot. She was then given a guided tour to see for herself what all the talented students had been working on for quite some time. She was clearly impressed but the work they had done. Proudly the young people showed and told Mary about their robot and the process on how it was build. 

I think everyone in Denmark agree on one thing; it is freezing cold outside. Also the main reason why I believe Mary was dressed the way she was at the opening. At the arrival she was wrapped up in her JOSEPH cape featuring leather details. Wondering around watching the students projects it was possible to see what she was wearing underneath the cape. Once again she wore one of her black turtleneck blouses. I am crazy in love with the cape but when I saw that she is wearing a leather pencil skirt I'm even more in love with that. The combination of a turtleneck blouse and leather skirt is incredible! Very chic. Unfortunately I can not tell where the new skirt is from because I have no idea where to find it. I had JOSEPH in mind but I'm not sure the ones I have found is the right one. Any ideas? You find clear and good pictures of it in some of the links that I have shared with you. Mary matched the rest of the outfit with a blue Quidam clutch. It took me quite a while to figure out where her clutch is from (the same she got in grey) but suddenly a dear friend of mine was lucky to identify it. The same goes with the suede pumps. I have been looking everywhere to find them and suddenly one day they appeared at Pura Lopez. Then I have only left to make a comment on the jewellery. The earrings are her floral ones from Jewlscph and that oval ring I still do not know who designed. I keep think of Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. For sure this is an outfit I'm going to try!

Child Heart Foundation Scholarships 2014

Tuesday, November 25th

Crown Princess Mary attended the presentation of the Child Heart Foundation's scholarships at Herlev Hoptial. 


Along with her lady-in-waiting Tanja, that Crown Princess Mary arrived to Herlev Hospital as guest of honor and patron of the Child Heart Foundation, she attend the presentation of the Child Heart Foundation's scholarships. Herlev Hospital is specialized in heart- and cancer patients. She was warmly welcomed by both employees, patients and other attendances. During her visit she had the chance to speak with a few patients hospitalized at Herlev Hospital and some of the employees. They shared their experiences with her and Mary listened with great interest in everything she heard. After it was time for her to present this year's Child Heart Foundation's scholarships which took place at Hotel D'Angleterre in Copenhagen. The three scholarship winner are researcher Mette Høj Lauridsen, Juliane Theilade and Anja Marie Bornø Jensen. Congratulation to all three winners!

Mary is exactly where she is suppose to be; right where she loved to be, helping. She seemed so happy. At both the visit at Herlev Hospital and at the presentation, she was dressed in a black and red outfit. The incredibly red jacket is from Etoile Isabel Marant as the knitted black skirt is a Hugo Boss creation. Both pieces have been seen at previous occasions, here. The outfit was matched with a black blouse and tights as well as her SAND Copenhagen pointed pumps. And of course we have that beautiful black Carlend Copenhagen clutch. What I really liked about her outfit is her hairstyle! Curly hair makes her look even more pretty. Shame we only get to see her with curly hair occasionally. Mary embraced the style wearing a few pieces of jewellery. I (think I) see a pair of black round earrings but I only have bad quality pictures so I can't tell for sure. Then we have her good old golden Cartier watch and a bracelet that is a bit more special and unique then the rest of it. It has never been confirmed by Mary but her bracelet was a wedding anniversary gift from her husband on occasion of their 10 year anniversary. It features carved images of their four children and their monogram centered in the middle. This magnificent present is made by Ragnar R. Jørgensen.

DR Ultra Gala -It's Nice to be Nice

Friday, November 21st 

Crown Princess Mary attended DR's Ultra gala show entitled It's Nice to be Nice taking place in Horsens.

* Dr.dk

It was as guest of honor the Crown Princess arrived to Horsens to attend Denmark's Radio's (DR) Ultra Gala show titled It's Nice to be Nice focusing on young people in the age between 7-12. The gala show is all about making these young people aware of each others well-being and the importance of the right way to communicate with each other. It is the first time such a show is being held and of course Mary was present to show her support. With the Mary Foundation she is committed to improve well-being among children and young people with projects as Free of Bullying. She arrived in a great spirit with a huge smile on her face. It really looks like she was enjoyed herself in the company of the attending young people and figures from DR Ultra's broadcasts. Mary even got her very own large golden medal for being the 'nicest person' of them all.
DR Ultra and the Mary Foundation had teamed up to create a short film titled Show Courage facing the consequences of bullying. It was viewed by the audience during the evening. The Crown Princess appeared on the screen as the first thing in the short film with a clear message: show courage to do something about bullying. 

We have seen Mary pretty much lately but each time is a pleasure. What we saw at the gala show in Horsens is exactly why she is such a great inspiration for me. In my opinion this is one of the best outfit we have seen for quite some time. The lovely suede green Prada dress is not new. First she wore it in 2012 at a return dinner because of a state visit from Slovakia, here. Then in 2013 at Prince Nikolai's confirmation at the after party and in 2014 when she visited New York, here, worn with the same leopard pumps from Gianvito Rossi. At first I suggested that JOSEPH was the designer of her dress because I found a similar model. Now one appeared at Prada and I am not in doubt anymore. Prada is differently the one I have been looking for. She embraced the classy evening outfit with green Jewlscph earrings and several bracelets from among others, Shamballa Jewels. What amazed me most about this look, is how she accessorized her outfit -leopard pumps and a purple suede clutch which has been found at Hugo Boss. Never ever thought about this combination myself but I can't wait to try something similar (first I need a green dress, leopard pumps and a purple clutch). I'm just completely in love with everything about this outfit! Something you see yourself wearing one day?

State of World population report


Friday, November 21st



As patron of the United Nations' Population Fund (UNFPA) Crown Princess Mary attended the launch of their new State of World Population report. 


It was in a really splendid mood the Crown Princess arrived to Rysensteen Gymnasium, Copenhagen. She was welcomed with handshakes, flowers and happy faces. She was one big happy face herself. Mary attended as patron of the United Nations' Population Fund (UNFPA) to give a speech on occasion of their newest report entitled The Power of 1.8 billion: Adolescents, Youth and the Transformation of the Future. The report deals with the fact how 1.8 billion young people are able to make an influence in the world, especially in the future if money are invested in for instance school and education. In her speech she, among others, told the audience about some of the many inspiring people she has met during her global visits. 

Now Mary is back again! I expressed that I was not a big fan of her outfit yesterday, but this one is just wonderful. I love the combo of the different layers of clothing's. I really like the new navy cape which has leather detail on shoulders and the striped short skirt, with stripes both ways. I have spent several hours trying to find these them piece. But Sophie is the one we need to say thank you to, because she is the one who found both skirt and cape! The cape is from JOSEPH and the skirt turns out to be from Chloé (Pre-AW14). The black turtleneck sweater with long sleeves was perfect because it gave all attention to the skirt and also showed her beautiful figure. Her silhouette looks really pretty. I see she also has some earrings and a ring on her finger, but the pictures I have unfortunately do not show quite enough for me to tell more. Because the skirt is a little short, I like that she had chosen a pair of long suede Prada boots. I assume the little black clutch is from Carlend Copenhagen and that the earrings could be Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. One last thing, of course, that also requires attention is her magnificent hairstyle! I love when her hair is all curly but we only get to see it on very few occasions. At first view I could not see that her hair had changed at all, but it seems no doubt it has. I really like the change!
