Opening of "The Day of Research 2021"

23rd April

On Friday, Crown Princess Mary visited Naturcenter Amager in Kastrup to attend the official opening of Day of Research 2021. The event is a national science festival that takes place every year. Its purpose is to create a space for scientists and citizens. Day of Research focuses on how research and innovation can help solve different challenges in society. 

This year "Climate on the menu" was launched as a new program for schools. The program focuses on, among other things, food waste, biogas and climate-friendly food.

Crown Princess Mary was welcomed by Minister of Education and Research Ane Halsboe-Jørgensen. In all three categories as mentioned above, the Crown Princess presented winners and handed over diplomas.  The School at Islands Brygge worn the prize for climate-friendly food. Bavnehøj School won food waste and The Classenske Scholarship School won another food waste challenge.

Another grey suit! And this one is a wool-blended suit. Two of my favorite things! With a little help from Billed Bladet her suit has been identified as REMAIN Birger Christensen and it seems like I was able to help them a bit too (here). At first I thought it looked a bit clumsy with the boots and rather long blazer. But then I realized that she was also wearing a brown leather belt and that seems to change my mind - completely. That really made the different to me. Then it looked put together and well-balanced. 

It also looks like Mary was wearing a brand new blouse from Reiss. It features some very beautiful details with the pleatings and turtleneck. That powder pink blouse and grey tweed suits made an outstanding match. Don't you think?

As mentioned, she accessorized her outfits with new brown boots. To me it looks just like Gianvito Rossi. (here). They have the same characteristic chunky heel, color and toe. With the brown belt this was a wonderful combination.

I also see yellow diamond earrings, a golden ring from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and one of her Kknekki hairbands. When would you wear this outfit?

What makes a good community?

23rd April

Not that long ago, we got a sneak peak of a workout filmed to the upcoming Free of Bullying Children's Race (here). Both Crown Princess Mary, as founder of the Mary Foundation, and Johanne Smith Nielsen, as General Secretary of Save the Children, participated the warm-up. 

The two of them "met" again in this little video posted on the Mary Foundation's social media. What makes a good children's community? This question was given to both Johanne Smith Nielsen, the Crown Princess and several others who participate the Free of Bullying program. One word to make their answer. 

Crown Princess Mary wrote: "tryghed" = security. She argued that children need security in life to develop. Others wrote respect, courage, care and trust. 

Once again we get a glimpse of how it looks, when Mary is behind her desk in her home office at Frederik VIII's Palace. I love these moments. Especially, these relaxed moments. The atmosphere was indeed relaxed and comfortable.

Participating the little challenge, Mary was wearing one of her old Britt Sisseck blouses. A thin black blouse featuring small dots. She uses it as a belt, but in fact it works as a scarf. My guess is that she matched it with simple black trousers and perhaps black pointed pumps.

She embraced the style with a golden Cartier bracelet and probably more, but we cannot see them. Again, Mary was wearing her beloved brown Gucci glasses. They seems to be a favorite at the moment. I spotted her little leaf-printed Tapet Café clutch on her desk right next to her. Maybe a sleeve to her tablet?

World Book Day 2021

23rd April

The Mary Foundation has development many different projects and made collaborations with many companies since they were established in 2007. One of these projects are LæseLeg - an initiative made in collaboration with the Egmont Foundation. LæseLeg is created to encourage dialogue and strengthen children's abilities to enter relationships from an early age.

I guess that is also why the Crown Princess made a little statement on behalf of the World Book Day. World Book Day is now an official book day with help from UNESCO.

Books develop our children's vocabulary and encourages their imagination. It gives them a better way of expressing themselves and by that a strength to enter relationships. Now and in the future. Wise words from our Crown Princess.

Last year, Mary and Frederik were photographed by photographer Stine Heilmann. Now and then we get to see another photo. On occasion of the World Book Day, another photo was published of Mary. A really lovely moment was captured.

She was wearing her Carolina Herrera dress and golden jewellery from Rebekka Notkin and Cartier. Two amazing and outstanding pieces of jewellery. Especially, the Cartier bangle seems to be one of her most beloved pieces. We also get a small glimpse of her golden diamond ring from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. I wish she would wear this outfit for a more official event one day. That would be wonderful.

Launching "State of World Population report 2021"

22nd April

Happy. One big smile. Great mood. That is the perfect combination to make it a wonderful day and Crown Princess Mary was indeed in a smily mood, when she arrived to Gerlev Idrætshøjskole in Slagelse. She was about the attend the launch of The State of World Population report 2021. 

The state report an annual report made by UNPFA, which Crown Princess Mary is patron of - for almost eleven years now. The report includes both world populations developments and trends.

At the arrival, she was kindly welcomed by Flemming Møller Mortensen. He is the Minister of Development Corporation and Minister of Nordic Collaboration. He welcomed her with a kind and friendly smile.

This year, the State of World Population report focuses on owning your own body. More specifically the event was entitled "My Body is My Own". We have the right to decide over one's own body. In a speech, Crown Princess Mary made it clear that this is a very important topic to give attention. You find her speech here.

I was thrilled to se that Mary had chosen a grey pants suits for the launch of The State of World Population report at Gerlev Idrætshøjskole in Slagelse. I always loved a good old suit and Mary makes it look splendid and marvelous every single time. This included. A really lovely and well-tailored suits from Alexander McQueen. I learned about it at UFO No More. Mary matched her new grey suits with a simple white blouse. At the moment, I cannot tell if we have seen it before or if this is also brand new.

She also accessorized her look with the most incredible jewelleries. First thing I noticed was the golden ankle bracelet. Did you see that too? A closer look makes me believe that it is from Dulong Fine Jewelry - and of course new. We have never seen her wear any kind of ankle bracelets because and especially not at an official event. Do you like it as much as I do?

Mary embraced the outfit with yellow diamond earrings as well as her golden Cartier bangle and another one from Dulong Fine Jewelry. I am sure you also noticed that lovely grey necklace. To me it looks like her old necklace as worn in, among others, 2010 (here). I still need to confirmed it, but I strongly believe that her necklace is from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

The black handbag is an old goodie from Bottega Veneta and the grey suede pumps are from Gianvito Rossi. I kinda like how she matched her shoes with the color of her outfit. Grey can be a difficult color to wear, but Mary rocked it. Grey suit. New grey scarf. Grey pumps. A really beautiful outfit completed with her Kartó face mask.
