UPDATED: Oscar's Christening!

Today was the big day, Little Prince Oscar was christened! The entire family was out in full force bringing us lots of little antics, laughs, and smiles. From Estelle pouring in the baptismal water, to little Nicolas and his toothbrush- it was a fun service! If you did not get a chance to watch it you can go check out the recording here.
Victoria wore a new white dress from Self Portrait - By Malina now says it is theirs...UPDATE: The dress is from their AW16 Pre-Fall Collection which will be in stores Mid-June. ( It has been a real struggle to find the dress but it is beautiful!!) Her earrings come from Kreuger Jewellery and her shoes come from Gianvito Rossi. Her white hat featuring feathers and a net veil was made by Philip Treacy.



Next up we saw Princess Madeleine who was one of the godmothers to little Prince Oscar. She carried Leonore upon arrival and had her hands full with her throughout the entire service. Leonore danced around, played with her little toys, and even managed to tip her chair over!

Madeleine wore a new blush colored dress from Roksanda. She wore the diamond earrings from Queen Josefine's Diamond Stomacher. Her shoes are the same pair that she wore to Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia's Marriage Bans Ceremony and come from Jimmy Choo.

Princess Sofia arrived looking amazing- one of the quickest ways to my heart is by wearing a cape and she did just that! I really hope this is not the last time we see this dress because it is just fantastic- and the color looks amazing on her!
Sofia wore a light blue dramatic dress from Antonio Berardi, she carried a small Valentino studded clutch. It appears that she is wearing the same earrings from the King's Birthday and wearing her nude colored Yves Saint Laurent shoes.
 

Now onto the little ones! Estelle arrived with her parents looking like a proud big sister! She told reporters that it went well afterwards. Wearing her own hairpiece and a string of pearls, she certainly looked like the royal she is!

Estelle wore a white dress featuring flower details from Charabia Paris she also carried a bag from the same brand.
Leonore and Nicolas were both attending in blue and white (yet-to-be-identified) ensembles. I have looked through my photo archives and do not see their outfits in published photos of Carl Philip, Madeleine, or Victoria but that does not mean they are not old pieces.
Queen Silvia- how did I almost forget her! She arrived in a blush pink color which meant she was able to wear her newest gems to her large impressive collection. These jewels she debuted a little over a year ago and they are stunning!

UPDATE: Her bag and shoes come from Jimmy Choo, and is still available to be purchased on FarFetch and Bergdorf Goodman, respectively. 

This post will be updated throughout the day with more details but I wanted to give you what we know right away!

Royal Catchup- Part 1: Swedish Academy Gathering

First off, I will apologize for the delayed post- I have been under the weather... Napping a few times a day and not doing much else. I finally am feeling better and have the energy to write a post or 2- I shall do just that.

A photo posted by @mr.dmitry.ericsson on
First is our last major event of 2015- The Formal Meeting of the Swedish Academy in Old Stockholm. This event is held annually and typically attended by the entire Royal Family- this year was no exception. Queen Silvia was the first lady to step out of a car wearing a brown fur coat over a brown dress. She appeared to be wearing the short pearl and diamond earrings.

Crown Princess Victoria rewore a black velvet dress first seen at the same event in 2011 while she was pregnant with Princess Estelle. No idea who the designer of this gown is. She carried a LK Bennett clutch she has had for many years. For jewels, she wore part of the diamond earrings from Brazilian Parure. In her hair she wore the flower brooch from the same parure. Her brooch is a diamond and pearl brooch with a a pearl drop first seen on Queen Victoria.


Princess Sofia, wore a new dress from Viktoria Chan and a faux fur coat from Moris Stockholm. Her earrings come from Caroline Svedbom. Her gold clutch comes from H&M. Her brooch is one that I don't recognize so I don't have anything to share about it. Sofia also debuted a new short hair cut that looks amazing on her!

Finally, Princess Madeleine wore one of her gowns from Ida Sjöstedt with a By Malina fur coat. She carried a black clutch from Bottega Veneta. She wore in her hair a pair of diamond earrings last seen on Queen Silvia in 2012 if my memory serves correctly. She wore her custom pair of diamond and pearl drop earrings from La Campanina Capri.


Which was your favorite outfit from the night? I just couldn't pick- everyone brought their A Game!

Nobel Prize Ceremony

Today is the long awaited Nobel Ceremony. The Nobel Ceremony is held in Stockholm with the Royal Family in attendance. Note this is not the same as the Nobel Peace Prize which was held Oslo this morning. Nobel Ceremonies is one of my favorite days of the Royal Calendar because it means new gowns and lots of tiara bling! And let me tell you- The Swedish Ladies did not disappoint!

First off, can we talk about Queen Silvia’s new red gown- it is STUNNING! I love it and think she pulled it off beautifully! And we were right- the 9 Prong came out tonight! This tiara originated with Queen Sofia of Sweden and it’s more proper total is the Queen Sofia Diamond Tiara- I just call it the 9 Prong because it reminds me of reindeer antlers… She wore the Karl XIV Johan diamond earrings as well. Her necklace appears to be the Briljantcollier med Hänge (Diamond Necklace with Pendant. The pendant was a legacy to the Bernadottes from the Gustavian royal family. Her brooch appeared to be the ruby brooch that the family has. I do not know the history behind that brooch.

Crown Princess Victoria looked stunning a violet gown. It featured a v-neck cut dress with a matching sheer cape over the top. She delighted us again with the Connaught Tiara- I love it. I hope now it will become a regular. She wore the 2 bracelets from the Amethyst Parure as a necklace which we have seen done by others in the family before. She wore the matching earrings from that set. She also appeared to be wearing the brooch from the set in her hair. Her bracelet is the diamond zig-zag bracelet (It does not have an official name but it is a zig-zag pattern). She carried a Bottega Veneta Clutch.
UPDATE: Her gown comes from By Malina- it is a specially made Aubergine Silk Chiffon Gown and Cape.



Princess Sofia stunned again by wearing an Oscar de la Renta gown (Nice Find Heaven!!) She wore her wedding tiara once again and this time paired it with emerald and diamond earrings which I suspect were apart of the wedding gift from the Royal Couple. UPDATE: she borrowed from Queen Silvia. You can see Silvia wearing them here. She wore the stunning Queen Victoria’s Braganza Brooch on her front.
Princess Madeleine wore a STUNNING grey gown which I suspect was made by Fadi el Khoury (UPDATE: SVT said it was from Fadi el Khoury and Fadi himself told me that it was from him!). I am in love with it. I legit just teared up when I saw the full length of it. I am in love… Anyway she pulled out the biggest surprise by wearing the Aquamarine Kokoshnik tiara owned by her Aunt- Princess Margaretha. She wore Queen Silvia’s diamond flower earrings. And bless her heart- She really is trying to kill me- She wore the aquamarine ring that Princess Lilian left her upon her death in 2013. She appears to carry a clutch from Jimmy Choo.


Princess Christina pulled out a dress I believe she has worn before and I was right- she came in the 6 Button Tiara. She pulls off this tiara fantastically! Her brooch on her sash was a diamond and pearl brooch that she has had for many many years. 


That is all for now- I shall update as we find out more information and see more photos.

Swedish Academy Formal Meeting

Last night the Swedish Royal family gathered together for their annual attendance at the Swedish Academy meeting. This is a formal gathering so there were gowns and tuxes. Let me tell you- Madeleine, Silvia, Sofia, and Victoria did not disappoint to surprise me!

 First off is Silvia who wore a black dress that we have seen numerous times. She normally goes pretty dull for this formal meeting.

Victoria wore a combo that very much reminded me this dress that Crown Princess Mary wore. Victoria wore a tulle bottom with a matching red velvet top.

I am wondering if the skirt is from Ida Sjöstedt, they have a skirt very similar to that. Please let me know what you think? Any ideas on the Designers?

Madeleine rewore her By Malina dress that she wore early in her pregnancy with Leonore as well. She also wore a coat from By Malina as well. Neither pieces are available anymore.





 On a side note- It looks to me as if Madeleine is rewearing her Double Faced watch- one very similar to the one that Silvia always wears.

Sofia I think had my favorite look of the night- I am a sucker for those kinds of sleeves.
Look at that color! So beautiful! Her gown is also from By Malina and her shoes are from Manolo Blahnik.

Which is your favorite?
