RC69: WHO Regional Committee for Europe

16 September

Today is the day, where Crown Prince Victoria and her husband, Prince Daniel are coming to Denmark on official business promotion visit with the Danish Crown Prince Couple as hostes. The program tells us that the Swedish Crown Prince Couple arrives this evening and are welcomed by the Swedish ambassador, Fredrik Jörgensen. According to local time, that is within about an hour or so.

Today is also the day where Crown Princess Mary participated the important WHO Regional Committee For Europe (also known as RC69) summit. The summit gathered representatives from all over Europe within the healthcare sector in the UN City in Copenhagen. The Crown Princess  participated the summit as patron for the World Health Organization, Regional Office for Europe and as guest of honor.

She was in a really splendid mood at arrival with a wide smile on her lips and a glimpse in her eyes. The sweetest little boy handed over to her a bouquet of beautiful flower as part of the tradition when being welcomed as part of the royal family. From the rostrum she gave a one of her remarkable speeches focusing on the important work of the worldwide healthcare sector.

In the evening Crown Princess Mary also attended a reception with the Danish Ministry of Health and Elderly on occasion of The WHO Regional Committee for Europe. The reception took place at Skuespilhuset in Copenhagen. When arriving to Skuespilhuset the Crown Princess was warmly welcomed by Minister of Health and Elderly, Magnus Heunicke. Seems like she were having a good time right from when she arrived. Unfortunately not much has been published from the reception, but I mam sure you figure out the difference between the two events.

Red is a strong and powerful color to wear on a day like this. A symbolic color that catch eyes every time she wears something red. I was sure she was wearing her red Dolce & Gabbana dress, here, but it turns out that the neckline is different. This makes Mary's dress unidentified. Kate made me aware of the difference. So for now I do not know where her wonderful red dress is from. But she matched is perfectly with a tweed jacket from YDE Copenhagen. Hope to see this piece with something else than this dress. How would you style it? I'd wear it with a pair of black jeans and a white button-down shirt.

Mary accessorized her chic outfit with diamond earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe, golden bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry and of course her love bracelet from Cartier. Expensive, but stylish pieces of jewellery that goes trendy every year. I also see an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond band.

Somehow I can not keep my eyes off those beige python pumps. It was love at first sight. In a way I think they even look comfortable. I have never worn a pair of Gianvito Rossi pumps, but they look more comfortable than most other pumps does. Her Rossi python pumps and that incredible leather bag from Prada are perfect combined with the red belted dress and tweed jacket. When would you wear an outfit like this?

Everything she wore at the reception in Skuespilhuset is everything I have hoped for. I am astonished by the combination black, a little flowers and those bright orange pumps. Do you remember the floral printed Heartmade / Julie Fagerholt dress from when we first saw it last year, here? A beautiful dress a year ago and it still is. I am crazy in love with when she wore it at the reception. Mary looks comfortable and relaxed.

I already mentioned her shoes. Bright oranges wonders from Prada. A visible golden Prada logo reveals where they are to be found. So far I have not been able to find them in the right color, but I have the right model to show you - thanks to Kate. Tell me, what do you think of her new pumps? Orange is one of the most trendy colors to wear right know and Mary really rock wearing them. I imagine dresses, trousers and skirts from her clothes that would do great with these new pumps. She embraced the style with Annikat earrings, bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry and an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond ring. Unfortunately her black clutch is still a mystery to me.

The Women's Home and an officers dinner

11 September

Crown Princess Mary payed a special visit to The Women's Home (Kvindehjemmet) at Jagtvej along with the Mary Foundation on Wednesday. The Women's Home is Denmark's largest women's shelter. During her visit she met with both former and present residents of the home with whom she talked about backpacks. More specifically backpacks given to all children who live with their mother and possible siblings at the shelter. These backpacks are part of a Mary Foundation project and are given to children in both Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

A quote from the Mary Foundations Facebook post (embedded down below) says that the backpacks helps children to know that they are seen, heard and taken serious. The Crown Princess also talked with employees working at the shelter. Among others, they told her that they use the backpacks and its contents to help children describe and puts words on feelings related to violent experiences. The Royal House has now published a short interview with the Crown Princess and one of the employee, here.

According to the official calendar Crown Princess was suppose to attend a dinner at Fredensborg Castle the previous evening hosted Queen Margrethe. The dinner was held for officers at Dannebrog as a way of thanking them for another year of sailing. But not pictures have been published.

Visiting The Women's Home at Jagtevej Mary was dressed in a lovely reused outfit. She matched her light blue blouse from Victoria Beckham with a black pleated skirt. The skirt is also a reuse, but I have never managed to identify where it is from. This time I noticed that it features small dots. Maybe that will help us identifying it. Keep your eyes open and let me know if you see or hear anything about her skirt.

To match the chic outfit she chose to wear her black leather pumps from Valentino featuring rivets. A classy pump with a touch of rock and roll. The blue earrings and matching ring are both from Pomellato. They go way back in time, just as the diamond ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry. The same designer made one of her golden bangles. She also wore her Cartier bracelet in shiny gold and her Nadia Shelbaya necklace.

I also noticed how beautiful her hair looks. I love when she wears curly hair. Makes her look young and fresh (if that's the right word to use). Love how Mary made this outfit look so casual. Whenever I am wearing pleated skirts and soft blouses, I tend to look a bit overdressed. But not Mary.

Mary you took my breath away! I have completely fallen in love with her outfit at the INDEX: Award show. Love that she wore this incredible and eye-catching Etro dress again. Maybe you remember when we first saw it? You are right. She wore it when her beloved husband celebrated his 50th birthday last year, here. Back then she looked gorgeous. Now I love her and the dress even more. The color, silhouette, print, everything makes me happy. I love wearing colors myself. Do you?

She embraced the style by wearing a pair of black mesh pumps from Gianvito Rossi. The same as earlier that same day. But really. You do not get tired of good design, right? I now it sounds a bit stupid, but I am very fascinated by looking and studying the shape of heeled shoes. So many different shapes, heights, colors, embellishments, etc. Think I got a glimpse of her black glitter box clutch from Sergio Rossi. Also incredible good design that works no matter what.

I am sure you also noticed her beautiful earrings and the matching green ring from Annikat. The ring is a reuse but the earrings are brand new - at least for Mary to wear them. It turns out that her new earrings are purchase at an Bruun Rasmussen Auction. I learned about the purchase from Kate. I did not believe I was suppose to be even more thrilled, but I was. Look at her hairstyle. If you have followed me for some time, you'd know that I absolutely adore these updos.

Golden Days Festival 2019

06 September

Crown Princess Mary arrived to University of Copenhagen as guest of honor to attend Golden Days Festival 2019. She was warmly welcomed by the world famous fighter of freedom, the Polish Lech Walesa. All of them were in a splendid mood. Especially the Crown Princess was one big smile and she seemed so comfortable.

Golden Days Festival is all about sharing knowledge, history and culture and honoring all three of them. With this years theme "1989" the Crown Princess attended an important event at University of Copenhagen on occasion of the 30th anniversary of, among others, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the reunification of Europe and the beginning of the internet. Three major events that have had great impact on the world as we know it today.

Lech Walesa is former Polish President and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. He gave a speech as part of the opening of Golden Days Festival with the Crown Princess and a room packed with guests in front of him. The Lech Walesa Freedom Award was also presented and handed over to Tove Smidth, Mayor of Gladsaxe. Congratulations to Tove Smidth!

Mary looked outstanding when attending the Golden Days Festival 2019 at University of Copenhagen. I had not idea what to expect to see, but it wasn't this. She dazzled in a brand new dotted silk shirt dress. Heaven identified her new dress as a Carolina Herrera creations. She also recognized that the black leather belt is from Max Mara. Mary has two the belt in two other colors as well - navy blue, here and creamy white, here. Seems like she just had to have one of each color. We get it, right? Talking about belts. Mary did something really clever. The dress. comes with a matching belt. She used it as collar and tucked it in the belt. Love this lille detail.

How to accessorize a dress like this? White pearls, more leather and heels. Those stunning diamond earrings featuring white pearl pendants give a traditional and classy touch. White pearls never get too old. They keep looking good year after year. Do you have pearl jewellery in your wardrobe? I do and I love wearing them. I also see her golden Cartier bangle.

As a perfect match she mathed the Max Mara belt with one of her good old clutches from Quidam. An expensive quality leather clutch that never goes out of style. Amazing piece of accessory just like the beautiful Gianvito Rossi pumps. Wish I will be able to purchase my own pair of Rossi pumps one day - just one pair a least. They look super stylish and kinda comfortable to wear at the same time.

Last thing to notice is her hairstyle. That updo makes my heart beat. Love that she (finally) is falling in love with updos again. I missed them so much.
