Inauguration of a sensory garden

Friday, May 8th


Crown Princess Mary attended the inauguration of a sensory garden at Ringsted Women's Crisis Centre (Ringsted Krisecenter).




For sure this is not the first time the Crown Princess has attended a inauguration, but I think it is the first time she is attending the inauguration of a sensory garden, which took place in Ringsted. The idea of sensory garden started two years ago to bring together the latest knowledge of sensory therapy and use this knowledge at Ringsted Women's Crisis Centre. The end of a project like this takes the right person to official inaugurate the garden and who else can it be than the Crown Princess of Denmark? Right? Everything was kept very casual and calm, maybe because of the children living at the centre. Many of them have a hard time and I think it is with respect the atmosphere was this relaxed. The Crown Princess was in a great mood and quickly she was to be found among the kids. She was playing around with the kids and all of them seemed to have a great time. The Crown Princess took plenty of time talking and listening with everyone. On occasion of the inauguration a tree was planted to mark the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage.

Finally, spring has arrived to Denmark -flowers are blooming, trees and bushes are soon green with leaves. This also means we need to welcome pastel colours, dresses without tights and lots of summer prints. That's what Mary did at the inauguration. She was wearing a short dusty pink jacket, seen at least three times before one of them was on a visit to Germany in 2010 when she was pregnant with the twins, here. At the time, it was ID'd as Prada and that's something I still believe in. Everything about it reminds me of Prada. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the jacket yet. Chris shared a model with me of a Prada (Fall RTW 2010) jacket that looks similar to the one she was wearing. Take a look and let me hear what you see. In the same colour she wore a comfortable blouse and a pair of black trousers. Her lovely black ankle boots I managed to identify as Gianvito Rossi, the first time she wore them at the Queen's 75th birthday. Beautifully, Mary accessorized her look with earrings and a bracelet featuring black pearls both from Marianne Dulong. Last seen when she attended the 14th World Congress of the European Association for Palliative Care, here.

The World Congress of the European Association for Palliative Care

Friday, May 8th

As patron, Crown Princess Mary attended the opening of the 14th World Congress of the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC) which took place in the Bella Centre, Copenhagen. 


On a rather windy Friday the Crown Princess arrived to the Bella Centre in Copenhagen to attend the opening of the 14th World Congress of the European Association for Palliative Care or abbreviated to EAPC. The association aim to increase focus on promoting palliative care in Europe. We do not have that many pictures from the opening, but just enough to see that she seemed to enjoy herself at the congress.

She was kindly welcomed with a beautiful bouquet of lilies of the valley -a stunning flower, but poisonous. Nevertheless, I am sure for someone like she it is very exciting and inspiring to attend an event like this. The Crown Princess was not the only one to attend; more than 3000 people are gathered the next few days to participate in the congress on palliative care.

All eyes were on Mary when she arrived to the Bella Centre in Copenhagen at the opening and I am pretty sure it's because of her grey BOSS Hugo Boss dress. A well-fitted, figure hugging dress identified by Kate. I'm so fascinated about the texture of the fabric. Though her outfit was rather simple. I loved the fact how she managed to accessorize with eye-catching accessories without looking overdressed. Let's admit it: she never looks overdressed and I really admire that.

Mary embrace the style by wearing her snake pumps from Christian Louboutin and even a matching reused snakeskin belt from Balenciaga. When I first saw the dress, I started wondering if the belt was a part of it. Quickly, I changed my mind because it reminded me of a belt worn a few years back when the couple visited Australia, here. Similar, right? I never really thought how great grey and purple looks next to each other, but now thanks to Mary. Because she had chosen a dark purple suede clutch which I do not think we have seen before. Nevertheless, it is from the same designer as the dress. Her eyes were gloving as diamonds in the sun as the Marianne Dulong jewellery made of shone even more.

Crown Princess Mary Scholarship 2015

Thursday, May 7th

Crown Princess Mary attended the presentation the Crown Princess Mary Scholarship which took place at University of Copenhagen. 


The scholarship was a gift to the Crown Prince couple from University of Copenhagen on occasion of their wedding in 2004. Each year DKK 10,000 are given to two students who study in Denmark. This year is even a little more special because it is the 10th time the Crown Princess Mary Scholarships are handed over. As always she was in a really great mood when she arrived to University of Copenhagen in Copenhagen. The Crown Princess was welcomed with a bouquet of flowers and handshakes. As mentioned before, this was kinda a 10th anniversary. From what I am aware of, Mary has only missed very few years of this annual event. But not this year. In a great spirit she took plenty of time talking to the two students who just received each their scholarship. These students are Australian born Morgan Lean Foulsham and Cameron Hunter. Congratulations to both of them. As usual, pictures were taken of the Crown Princess and the two students in front of the university. 

Something I noticed lately as a trend among many women is bright coloured shoes -as in really bright coloured shoes. I even considered purchasing a pair myself and now I am fully convinced. After seeing Mary in her new burgundy pumps at the scholarship presentation, I am no longer in any doubt. The one she was wearing is from Gianvito Rossi and brand new. With one of the latest trend on her feet and a matching suede belt, Mary's outfit was really nice.

I think, somehow, her style changed a bit the last few years which is not, bad but something changed. Maybe it's the way she mix and match colours and clothes. The same thing sort of happened after the birth of Princess Isabella. Through the pregnancy and shortly after, her style was very feminine. Then her hair grew and her style become a bit more modern and simple. Now we really see a match of all this. Do you see the same as I do? Which bring me to the rest of her outfit. In a dark grey colour she wore a blouse with some interesting details about the shoulder and neck. To you who think: this is new, my answer will be: "no it's not". It's right that we haven't seen her wear it at an official event yet, but several times throughout the years she has worn it -at a swimming event, at a private dinner with Frederik and as one of you made me aware of in an interview to the broadcast Inside the Royal House. She wore the exact same blouse with the flower brooch on the shoulder. Her trousers I can't tell a thing about. White earrings and ring are both custom-made by Marianne Dulong.

Commemorating the Liberation of Denmark

Tuesday, May 5th


Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended the commemoration to mark the 70 anniversary of Denmark's liberation after World War II.





First a little history: On 9 April 1940 the Germans took over Denmark during World War II. The night between 4th and 5th of May 1945 the Germans surrendered and after five years, Denmark were once again governed by Danes. On the 4th of May it's a tradition to light candles in the windows to mark the liberation. This year the liberations have 70th years of anniversary. 
On this occasion Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended a church service in Vor Frue Church in Copenhagen at 10:00 am local time. Hundreds of people were gathered in the church to honor those who were lost, died or were injured during World War II. Both Frederik and Mary were moved at the commemoration and did not hide it a lot. Think about it, after 70 years people still get affected and moved, it's notable. We have to remember that our past makes our future. Someway or another we all have relatives or living family members who have fought for something as World War II. Some paid with their life and they deserve a minute of silence. Earlier in the morning the Crown Prince also participated in a wreath ceremony in Nyhavn, Copenhagen, on occasion of the commemorating.

On a day like this it takes not to be over-dressed. In my opinion Mary was dressed perfectly in a simple black a white outfit. She was wearing a floral printed Elise Gug dress and a reused black Prada coat. The coat has been worn at several occasions, even when she was pregnant with the twins. Keeping everything polished and sophisticated Mary was wearing a Susanne Juul hat, white pearl earrings, black gloves and her SAND Copenhagen pointed pumps. It does not get more appropriate according to Danish traditions.
