Meeting About UN Global Goals

Victoria met with various politicians today to discuss UN Global Goals following her appointment as one of Agenda 2030's Ambassadors for the Sustainable Development Goals.

Victoria wore her new By Malene Birger Blazer, a Sophie by Sophie necklace and what is most likely Seraphine's Black Maternity Skinny Jeans.

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.

UPDATE: Day 1 of 5 in Peru and Colombia

Victoria and Daniel began their five day visit to Peru and Colombia this morning by inaugurating  a seminar on education at the University of Lima. Afterwards, they met with students and faculty for a brief chatting session. Next up on their agenda was a visit to a H&M store in Lima. While they were their Daniel joked around with reporters saying if they were not so crunched for time he would like to pick up some pillows for their sofa back at Haga.

Next up was lunch and meeting with the President of Peru. I have not seen too many photos after that but they are supposed to visit the National Museum of Archeology and Anthropology following lunch and then end the evening with a reception at the Swedish Consulate located in Lima. I suspect their might have been an outfit change for the evening reception but I could very well be wrong. (See Below)

She wore a bespoke red dress which is identical to her purple one from Seraphine. (I have confirmed this already) Her pumps are from Acne and her bag is Hunkydory. She wore the same headpiece that she wore to the opening of Parliament in September. It comes from Malinda Damgaard. Her earrings are an old pair which I suspect to be from Chaumet and she wore her Sophie by Sophie Childhood bracelet. I was surprised to see this bracelet as she has not worn it recently but nevertheless pleased to see her supporting her mother's charity (And my favorite one at that!). Her brooch is a dragonfly which we have seen her wear before. Most distinctively in my mind was at the opening of Parliament in 2007.

Later in the day, Victoria changed into a black dress which she belted with a belt from Zetterberg. She wore this belt for the first time in Tanzania. Her jacket comes from Baum und Pferdgarten. Her clutch appears to be from Wilbur and Gussie, but I have been unable to find the exact model.

 

Victoria in H&M

Today, Crown Princess Victoria handed out the Sustainable Leadership Prize at Veckans Affärer's Sustainability Day at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm. For this she wore a new jacket from H&M. Her necklace comes from Sophie by Sophie, earrings from Kreuger Jewellery and her bag from Valentino. More photos can be seen here.

Global Child Forum in Pretoria

Princess Sofia is jumping in headfirst to taking on engagements by being the Royal Family's representation to the 2015 Global Child Forum in Pretoria, South Africa. If you don't already know, Global Child Forum is an initiative started by the King and Queen in 2009 with the intention of bringing leaders from all over the world and from a variety of industries and background together to make connections, create partnerships, and discuss topics surrounding Children's Rights. The first forum was held at Stockholm Palace in 2010 and since then they have held a variety of forums in satellite locations all over the world. In addition to holding these forums, Global Child Forum seeks to produce and coordinates studies to provide information on the topics of Children's Rights.

Princess Sofia arrived yesterday in Pretoria. She is wearing a top from Gant and her Peace Sign necklace from Sophie by Sophie. 

Last night she also attended a dinner hosted by the Swedish Embassy in South Africa in connection with the forum. (A video and more photos can be seen here and here)

For this dinner she wore a dress from Armani (most notably seen in her first official photos, although she wore it to a Project Playground Fundraiser in 2013) with a pair of black heels (perhaps her Gant ones but I cannot tell). She wore her hair back in a ponytail and wore her Engelbert Diamond Hoop Earrings. She carried a small black quilted clutch which I do not recognize.

Today was the day of the actual forum in Pretoria. Sofia gave her first recorded speech as a Princess of Sweden and first in English. She did an amazing job. My personal favorite part of the speech was towards the end.

As long as children suffer we have work to do – as individuals and common commitment.

This is such an important point and she emphasized it wonderfully. If you would like to read the rest of her speech, which I highly recommend, you may do so here.

For the forum, Sofia wore a black pinstriped pantsuit with a plain white top. She again wore her Peace Sign Necklace from Sophie by Sophie and pumps from Gant.

Sofia commented saying that she will be staying in South Africa for a bit to visit Project Playground, the Charity she co-founded 5 years ago in Langa, South Africa. 

Beginning of September Looks for Victoria

Victoria has had 2 engagements since I last posted:

On September 1st attending seminars on the Baltic Sea with her father, King Carl XVI Gustaf

Bracelet and Earrings from Sophie by Sophie, Clutch from Stella McCartney, Pumps from By Malene Birger

On September 2nd attending Large Parks in Big Cities again along side her father.

Earrings from Kreuger Jewellery, Necklace from Sophie by Sophie, Clutch from Hippi Grace, Top from Mayla, Pumps from Yves Saint Laurent

Victoria in Baum und Pferdgarten

Today Victoria and Daniel had 2 engagements. This morning they visited Södertälje, more specifically SweTox. SweTox is the Swedish Toxicology Sciences Research Center, which once again is an interest of Victoria's that she shares with her father.

Huge thank you to @pelletnilsson for letting me share his beautiful photo! Also check out this gallery from Expressen here.

Victoria wore Yves Saint Laurent pumps with her Ralph Lauren white bag that has become a staple for her lately. She wore her symbols necklace from Sophie by Sophie as well.

 

Later in the day, the King, Queen, and the Crown Princess Couple attended the gala concert and party celebrating Sverige Radio's 90th Year.

For this gala, Victoria wore a new skirt from Baum und Pfedgarten featuring flowers. She paired it with a black top which she wore last year with a similar skirt from H&M. The top remains UFO but I wonder if it is H&M or Hunkydory. Victoria wore her Ralph Lauren sandals and accessories from Lara Bohinc. Her clutch she has had for a very long time and I suspect it may be YSL but I have never found anything to be completely sure.

Victoriadagen Review

I appologize for this post coming almost 2 weeks after Victoriadagen happened but I was away. I am back now (for a short time before I leave again for a week or so) so here is a quick recap of what was worn at Victoriadagen 2015.

Sofia wore a dress from Karen Millen, a jacket from Moncler which I suspect she borrowed from Madeleine, and pumps from ACNE.

Madeleine wore a new jacket from Blumarine and a pair of heels from Givenchy which she has had for a while. This was Madeleine's first public engagement since giving birth to Prince Nicolas.

When attending the concert, Victoria wore the traditional Öland dress with earrings from Kreuger Jewellery.

However when she greeted the people at Solliden Slott she wore a new Ralph Lauren Dress, a pair of gold hoop earrings from Sophie by Sophie, a bracelet from Kreuger Jewellery, and shoes which come from H&M.

Which outfit was your favorite? 

Replica's and an Update

Hey all- So I just wanted to write a post letting you know what is happening in the world of Swedes as well as give you some Replicas of some of the outfits that Victoria has worn.

First of all, I have joined Amazon's Affiliate Program which means if you purchase something from my blog via a link I have provided- I get a few pennies of the sale. Why you ask? Well in order to provide you with Tip Top coverage as well as continue to expand the blog, I have to make a few purchases of my own. (This will mostly be books because as this blog expands I hope to bring more details of things such as history and jewels to you). So anyway- you are under no obligation to purchase and I am not getting paid to say nice things- I say what is on my mind and I hope you continue to read.

NOW for the royal business- things have been quiet for the Swedes and will remain that way for another week. So I thought in the mean time I might offer you some replicas of some of my favorite pieces of jewelry!

Both Victoria and Sofia have been seen wearing butterfly necklaces recently- Victoria's from Kreuger Jewellery and Sofia's is Swarovski Better Butterfly Necklace . Now if you wish to splurge and spend 75 dollars on Sofia's you can do so, but here is a nice replica for a smaller price tag.

Now Victoria daily wears many bracelets from Sophie by Sophie on her wrist- my favorite is the open heart with white diamonds surrounding it but sadly I do not have 2,090 dollars to spend, but I think this is a nice alternative. 

That is it for today, what would you like to see replicas of? How can I improve this blog? Please PLEASE comment and let me know! 

Victoria hosts a audience at the Haga Palace

Today, Victoria and Daniel hosted an audience for Mona Sahlin, the national coordinator for violent extremism.

Victoria wore her grey blazer from Hunkydory, a top I identified to be from Opullence via Facebook this weekend, and a necklace from Sophie by Sophie.

If anyone can find a photo of the top, please send it to me!
