Publication of the CeFU-report 2021

22 November

Many people have experience solitude throughout their life. Short periods, but also more persistent. Solitude has been on the Mary Foundation's agenda for many years and especially the last few years as it is one of the consequences of the pandemic. The foundation has especially focused on solitude among young people.

Once again, the Crown Princess, together with the Mary Foundation, attended an event focusing on solitide. She attended the publication of the CeFU-report "Can youth communities hurt?". A report by the Mary Foundation and Center for Ungdomsforskning - CeFU. The event took place at Tårnby Gymnasium in Kastrup.

Crown Princess Mary also gave a speech at the event in Kastrup. She talked about her own experiences with solitude from when her mother passed away in 1997. The Crown Princess also mentioned how she experienced shorter periodes of solitude.

On occasion of the publication a workshops took place. Crown Princess Mary also participated these herself. The workshop was all about finding ways to create healthy young communities. Later the results of the workshop was presented.

Arriving to Tårnby Gymnasium, Mary was warmly dressed in a brand new light grey winter coat. It shows very few details due to the cover of a floral printed Paul Smith scarf. Maybe we get a glimpse of her coat and will then be able to identify it. The lovely scarf goes way back. She first started wearing it in 2011. Like, when she started her travel to Africa in August 2011 (here).

Underneath, she was wearing a simple darker grey blouse from L.K. Bennett. Mary first wore this blouse at the launch of a UN report in 2016 (here). She matched it with a pair of simple black trousers. These kind of trousers are extremely difficult to find and the same goes with these.

Mary embraced her look with quite a few pieces of jewellery. Of course you noticed that magnificent golden necklace and its pendants. It is from talented Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. She also wore diamonds bands from the same designer. One in yellow gold and another one in gold. We also see her beloved Cartier bangle.

It looks like Mary was wearing black suede boots. Ankle boots I guess. They do not look new, but I cannot tell where we have seen them before. Maybe we have not. It is different with the bag. The black leather Bottega Veneta bag much be one of her oldest bags along with a certain Chanel bag (here). The glasses are Gucci.

Annual celebration for the University of Copenhagen 2021

12 November

It was as guest of honor that Crown Princess Mary arrived to the University of Copenhagen to attend their annual celebration. It has been a tradition right from the beginning in 1479. The year the university was founded.

I get the feeling that the atmosphere was almost majestic, when she arrived. It was silent and all eyes were on the Crown Princess.

This year the celebration was all about the founding of the Niels Bohr Institutes 100th anniversary. On that occasion, three prizes were handed over and: the Education Award, the Innovation Award and the Study Environment Award. This year's honorary doctor and doctors were also proclaimed at the annual celebration.

I had no idea what to expect from her for this event. Maybe something a bit more colourful, but I like it. I like how she made a modest honor to colours with the embellished Red Valentino dress. Thanks to UFO No More, we know where her new dress are from. I never been a huge fan of these embellished Peter Pan collars. I do not know if Mary changed my mind, but she looks gorgeous. She styled the dress with a reverse black belt. A really cleaver detail.

Hope to see a better close-up of those golden earrings. In a way, they look new to me, but I could wrong. The same goes with her rather large ring. It could be this one here. Think it is a good choice of her to only wear minimal jewellery for this outfit. This dress has to speak for itself. Nevertheless, the other accessorized complimented her look beautifully.

Somehow, we only have a few photos from the event at the University of Copenhagen and the lighting it not that good in all of them. This makes it a bit difficult to see what colour the Quidam clutch and Jimmy Choo shoes are, but they are in fact blue.

Visiting Vigerslev Allé School

11 November, 2021

Meanwhile her husband and mother-in-law are on official visit in Germany, Crown Princess Mary act as head of state. With this prestiges job also comes her own duties.

On Thursday, she then visited Vigerslev Allé School on occasion of one of the Mary Foundation's project called Skolestyrken. It is a program focused on creating well-being and preventing such as dealing with bullying in schools. Skolestyrken launched in late 2020.

It was truly a pleasure watching the Crown Princess arrived to Vigerslev Allé School. All the children wanted a glimpse of her and a photo with her. She is indeed a popular woman. She was accompanied by Helle Østergaard, the Director of the Mary Foundation. The two of them were also welcomed by school principal René Bang Henriksen.

Crown Princess Mary participated one of the exercises herself. A big part of the program is to include the children as much as possible.

The Mary Foundation shared a few photos from her day at Vigerslev Allé School on social media. One of them is embedded below.

Watching her along with all the students, were the best part. Her face lit up like a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. What a sight. Second best, was her outfit. Mary looked super stylish and was perfectly dressed for both the occasion and time a year. Denmark is indeed cold and rainy at the moment. I get her choice of clothes.

She styled a brand new navy blue turtleneck blouse with a pair of grey JOSEPH trousers. I kinda like this combo and wonder why I have never though of it myself. Both blouse and trousers remain unidentified. The black coat is another thing. This goes back quite a few years and is from Prada. She has one similar in white as well.

The stunning golden chain bracelet with the beautiful little pendant are both from talented Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. The other golden bangle is a Cartier creation. I still like the though of it being a gift from her husband due to the name "Love Bracelet". I have never been able to identify her white and yellow diamond studs, but they are lovely. A close look revealed her wearing two Dulong Fine Jewelry rings too.

Mary matched the rest of her outfit with a many years beloved Bottega Veneta leather bag and light grey Prada ankle boots. I really like the color-combo: grey, black, blue and gold. If I was wearing trousers more often, I would try this in an instant!

What a beautiful outfit Mary wore at the presentation of Hjerteforeningen's and Børnehjertefondens Research Grants 2021, which took place at Hotel d'Angleterre in Copenhagen. She had chosen one of her old beloved black jackets from WILLOW and a burgundy tweed skirt from Alexander McQueen. A really lovely match to honor autumn.

Mary embraced the look with her golden Cartier bracelet and Sophie Bille Brahe diamond earrings. I have never been that crazy about these earrings, but it seems like Mary is a true fan. She has worn them so many times already and I think she will continue that tendency. The stunning golden leaf brooch is a vintage Emmons brooch. I have a golden leaf brooch myself and they are just great for November-outfits. Do you like wearing brooches? Mary also wore a magnificent oval ring featuring a dark purple stone from Dulong Fine Jewelry. It is unique ring from their Pacific collection (here).

The black Celine belt is also an old goodie. Highly loved by her. Mary master these thin belts with such elegance. It matched her black leather clutch from Quidam and those Gianvito Rossi pumps perfectly.
