Advisory Council Meeting

Today Victoria joined her father at the Advisory Council meeting held at the Royal Palace. The Advisory Council is a consultative body between the parliament and the government where the King sits in the chair. The Advisory Council is convened on the government and the Constitution states that "The Government shall keep the Advisory Council informed about the foreign policy conditions that may be of importance for the country and discuss with the Board on these as often as needed." Victoria sits on the Foreign Policy Council.

Victoria appears to be wearing her long By Malene Birger blazer with an ASOS maternity Dress.

Victoria attends Agenda 2030

Today, Victoria attended the conference titled Agenda 2030 in downtown Stockholm. This conference focused on what Sweden can do to help reach the global goals that the UN set in September. These 17 goals that they hope to reach by 2030 are goals that strive to improve inequality, poverty, hunger, and strive to sustain and protect our planet.

For this engagement Victoria wore some of what have been her staples throughout her pregnancy. She chose her black and white geometric Asos Maternity dress. Over this she wore her Seraphine Black Peplum Blazer (Currently out of stock). She chose to keep with the black theme by selecting her black Valentino bag. It also appears that she is wearing a new watch instead of her trusty Epoch watch which was a gift from the court about 5 years or so ago.

I must be honest- my first reaction to the photos was- "Holy Bump!" Victoria has really popped- I am pretty convinced she is going to give birth near Estelle's Birthday- I really don't see her holding off until March! The next time you will here from me is most likely Thursday when Sofia has her first engagement of the year. Until then- have a great week! 

Advisory Council Meeting

Today Victoria joined her father for an Advisory Council Meeting. This Advisory Council Meeting was held on foreign affairs. The Advisory Council is a council that acts as a consultative mouthpiece between the Parliament and the Government. The King acts as Chairman of this council. Victoria attends when she can as one day she will be Chairwomen.

Later in the day, the King and Victoria held an audience for the Minister of Justice and Migration.

For all these meetings, Victoria wore a dress from ASOS (no longer available online) which we first saw on the tour in South America last month. She wore a new blazer from Seraphine over it and carried her trusty Valentino bag.

Day 2: State Visit from Tunisia

Today, Victoria and Daniel (as well as Carl Philip, the King, and Queen) attended a lunch  at the State House in Stockholm in relation to the ongoing State Visit from Tunisia. Later in the evening the "squad" (I felt that word was appropriate here) attended the return dinner held by the Tunisian Presidential Couple.

Victoria wore her red bespoke dress from Seraphine which she paired with her black Tabitha Simmons pumps. She carried what appears to me to be a new red clutch. She arrived in her white coat from By Malene Birger. She wore her bow fascinator from Evelina Persson.

Later in the evening for the return dinner, Victoria almost identically copied her outfit from Colombia. She wore her blue dress from ASOS, carried her Alexander McQueen clutch, and wore blue pumps which I believe are from Ralph Lauren.

Day 5 of 5 in Peru and Colombia

Victoria and Daniel started their final day by meeting with 3 different women's organizations. They will hear about how the organizations use women as agents of peace. Next they made their way to the Gold Museum located in Bogota's Historical Center. Next they went and saw the Swedish Embassy and afterwards they meet with Colombian students who have had the opportunity to study in Sweden. Their final event was a lunch meeting discussing the topic of transportation and transport infrastructure. That concludes their visit and they will fly back home to be reunited with their darling daughter who has been staying the week with Daniel's parents.

Victoria wore a new dress from Asos which she covered with a cropped peplum jacket from Seraphine. I confirmed with Seraphine that this was their jacket and they said Victoria added the bow after purchasing. An interesting note is that Madeleine has the same jacket in black. She carried her new white bag from Hippi Grace once again.

  

UPDATED: Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Science's

Tonight Carl Philip and Sofia attended the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences' Formal Gathering. This was not Carl Philip's first time attending (if my memory stands correctly) but it was Sofia's first time. The formal gathering is held once a year and a member of the Royal Family typically attends and hands out the scholarship/prize.

Sofia wore a new peach colored gown with fantastic drop earrings. I am in love with the earrings I must say. They are from Ebba Brahe. I am not sure how I feel about the gown- it is starting to grow on me but not completely there yet. She carried a new small gold clutch. She also wore the full sash but did not wear her miniature King's picture which is strange. Also her star is pinned much higher than the Swedish Ladies tend to place it. All very curious but she manages to pull it off. UPDATE: Her gown comes from Asos. Her shoes I believe to be her Saint Laurent and her clutch comes from H&M.

UPDATED: Day 4 of 5 in Peru and Colombia

Today Victoria and Daniel were in Bogota, Colombia. They began their day by participating in a round table discussion with Swedish and Colombian sustainable businesses. Next up on the schedule was meeting with the Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos Calderón. After having lunch with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Victoria and Daniel visited the initiative Ruta Motor which trains vulnerable young people for jobs in the automobile industry. They try to equip young people who are at risk of being brought into criminal gangs. Later this evening, the Crown Princess Couple will attend a diplomatic reception at the Swedish Residence celebrating 140 years of diplomatic relationship between the two countries. If Victoria follows the pattern she has set on the rest of the trip, I expect there to be an outfit change and I will post that when we see photos. While I have no photos to show you, I can tell you what she wore.

Victoria repeated her outfit from Prince Nicolas christening. She wore the same Seraphine dress and coat and what appear to be the same heels as well. She carried a light purple bag which she first used earlier this year in Portugal. She wore a new necklace as well which comes from the SS16 collection from Sophie by Sophie. Her earrings she has had for at least 7 years but they have never been ID'd.

 

Victoria later changed into a new maternity dress from ASOS for the reception. She also carried an Alexander McQueen clutch that she first debuted when pregnant with Estelle. She wore gold pumps but because I have not been able to see any great photos, I can't tell you where they come from, but they may be Gianvito Rossi.

UPDATED: Day 3 of 5 in Peru and Colombia

Victoria and Daniel began their visit to Colombia today with a visit to the Agency of Reintegration, a program focusing on social reintegration and has a partnership with the Folke Bernadotte Academy in Sweden. Next up they attended the opening of a panel with Swedish Companies at a Swedish Sea Port conference. Their final engagement before attending a lunch hosted by the Swedish Ambassador, was a guided walking tour around the historic center of Cartagena. After lunch they got a tour of the Port of Cartagena. In the evening Victoria and Daniel attended a dinner hosted by the Mayor of Cartagena. I have included 1 photo of each outfit below but you can check out Robin Utrecht's wonderful gallery here for more photos!

Victoria wore a dress from Asos' Maternity Line, her shoes appear to by By Malene Birger. She carried her new (very) large white envelope clutch which (UPDATE) comes from Hippi Grace. When they participated in a walking tour, Victoria switched to sensible flats which come from Tod's.

 

 

For those of you who love this dress, they have it in regular sizes as well but it is almost sold out so go check it out here!

Later in the evening, Victoria changed into a blue dress for the reception. While I have no confimation on the designer of the dress yet, I believe it comes from Seraphine. (UPDATE IT DOES INDEED COME FROM SERAPHINE) It looks very similar to this dress they sell. I shall, as always, update the blog when I know. She wore her grey By Malene Birger pumps to match. Her clutch comes from Nancy Gonzalez and her earrings are an old favorite of hers. Unfortunately they are UFO's. (Side note- Huge shoutout to all the Facebook followers who are finding ID's on old pieces worn by our leading Swedish Ladies! You all Rock!)

Day 2 of 5 in Peru and Columbia

Today Victoria and Daniel continued their visit to Peru and Columbia. They started the day before 7:30 am with a visit to Volvo Trucks. They next visited the Next Cancer Institute (INEN) where they visited with children. Victoria surprised the press by pulling out books out of her bag by Astrid Lindgren, who is the Swedish author who wrote Pippi Longstocking, and is Victoria's favorite children's author. Finally the finished their public tour with a walking tour of historic Lima. They ate lunch with the Mayor of London before heading to Cartagena, Columbia.

Victoria wore a dress from ASOS's maternity line which she either had made custom or shortened on her own (meaning she had her tailor do it... although picturing Victoria hemming her own dress makes me smile). She started the day in a heels, but then she later changed into sensible flats from TOD's. Her pumps may come from Rizzo, but I haven't seen a better photo of them to be sure.  Her earrings and necklace come from Kreuger Jewellery. She also appears to have a new clutch which appears to be a large white flap bag.
