UPDATED: 25th of January: Sofia and Victoria

Today, Victoria was at Viksjö School in Järfälla to hear a lecture given by Emerich Roth. Emerich Roth is a Holocaust Survivor and goes around to schools telling about how he cheated death repeatedly during World War II. He and Victoria have met before, most recently last year on the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. After his lecture, Victoria joined him in walking around to see the students presentations. This lecture was a part of the schools peace and democracy work with its' students.


Victoria wore her Whyred Grace Silk Top with the same long black blazer she wore last Thursday. She wore a pair of black booties which have not been identified yet. We saw the same boots last Monday (I had previously got them confused with her af Klingberg boots but they are not the same). She carried her Valentino Bag and wore Kreuger Jewellery earrings, necklace, and bracelet.



Later tonight Sofia and Carl Philip will attend the Sports Gala. I will update this post when photos become available- so stay tuned! Sofia and Carl Philip arrived on the red carpet and looked smashing.
Sofia, whose bump is now very visible, wore a new blue gown that we suspect to be CONFIRMED to be from Greta. She wore new earrings from Zara (Thanks World of Royals for finding these!), and carried the same clutch that she did to Nicolas' Christening (any one have an idea on the designer?). She appears to be wearing blue pumps but I have no idea on their designer.



Have a great rest of your Monday!

Global Child Forum 2015 in Stockholm

Today, the King and Queen are hosting the 5th Global Child Forum at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. The Royal Couple started the the Global Child Forum in 2009 with the desire to bring together leaders in the fields of children's rights to have a discussion. Their website states, 
"Global Child Forum is an independent, multi-stakeholder initiative for informed dialogue and thought leadership on how to advance children’s rights in support of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Forum gathers leaders and decision-makers from business, government, academia and civil society. By information sharing, exposing leading case studies and learning from best practice from all parts of the world, the initiative work towards a future where children’s rights are respected and supported by all stakeholders in society. Their Majesties the King and Queen of Sweden initiated Global Child Forum in 2009"
Today, the King, Queen, Crown Princess, Princess Madeleine, and Princess Sofia were scheduled to attend but due to a mix up in the PR department/security threats, Victoria did not attend.


Madeleine and Sofia did attend however with the King and Queen. Princess Madeleine came back from London to attend a dinner last night and today's main forum. It is expected that she will fly back to London immediately afterwards. For today, Princess Madeleine wore a cape and top from Zara (huge shoutout to our Facebook Followers for informing us). She also wore her Celine handbag.




Sofia wore a draped top from COS which covered her bump nicely. Her shoes I believe to be the same ones she wore last month from Gant.



Happy Thanksgiving to my American Followers! I am so thankful for all of you (no matter if you are celebrating Thanksgiving or not!!) I will be off celebrating with my family so any updates to this post you can thank Heaven for.

Sofia returns to Dalarna


Sofia and Carl Philip undertook a 2 day visit to Dalarna on October 5-6. I am going to break it down by days.

First Day:


Sofia and Carl Philip started off their visit by visiting a school in Borlänge for refugees. They seemed quite at home with the children and Sofia ended up carrying one around for a bit. Next they visited Dalform, a factory that manufactures lockers and storage spaces for schools. Next they visited Skedvibröd where Sofia tried her hand a making flat bread.

After they had lunch they continued on Falun's World Heritage house as well as Falun's Copper Mines. While in the mines, they were given the opportunity to sign their names on the wall- just as the King, Queen, and Crown Princess have done.

For the first day, Sofia wore a top from Zara and a red coat she *may have* borrowed from Victoria. The coat has long been speculated on its designer since Victoria wore it back in 2011, but nothing concrete has ever been decided. Ideas include Armani and Gant. The coat is from an old Gant Collection, a brand that Sofia has worn since before her marriage. This is why I am skeptical to say for certain she borrowed it from Victoria. Perhaps they both have it, perhaps Victoria borrowed it from Sofia- never the less they have both worn it and that is all we can be certain of. She once again wore boots from Gant and her Engelbert Diamond Hoop Earrings. In the arrival photos, you can see her carrying her black Longchamp bag.


Day 2:

Sofia and Carl Philip started their second day of their visit to Dalarna by touring I-Cell, a factory that makes environmentally friendly insulation. You can see a large photo gallery with descriptions here, and a bonus- it is in English!


For this half of the day, Sofia wore a dress from Indiska and coat from Zara. Her boots come from Gant.


Sofia and Carl Philip changed, and hopped in a helicopter to fly to the top of a local mountain which has a small community of Sami people.


For this part of the visit, Sofia (and Carl Philip) wore a hat from Woolisar, boots from Tretorn, and a jacket from Woolrich.


This photo was posted a few days later and I am unsure what day the dinner took place.

Sofia's Outfits in Värmland

Sofia and Carl Philip just finished their visit to Värmland, their Duchy, where we saw 5 different outfits of Sofia's. Check out what she wore!

Day 1:

 
 When arriving at the train station in Karlstad ahead of their 2 day visit they were greeted by the Governor of Värmland, Kenneth Johansson, and his wife Viola. Sofia wore a brown coat and top from Gant, earrings from Englebert Stockholm, and carried her Longchamp bag. Her black suede heels feature a kitten heel and bow on the toe. The shoes have not been identified. A very comfortable looking outfit for traveling.





After being greeted at the Governor's Residence, Sofia and Carl Philip changed their outfits and went off to Byamossarna Nature Reserve. There they were able to see one of their wedding gifts, a 3.5km long foot trail with a rest shelter. This pathway is named Heritigparets Vandringsled, which loosely translates to Duke Couple's Walking Trail.

For this portion visit, Sofia and Carl Philip wore coats from Stutterheim Raincoats, as it was a bit wet. Her top comes from Sandro and her boots from Tretorn. For earrings and a necklace she chose to wear one of her favorite brands, Drakenberg Sjölin.


After this they visited Marbacka where they visted Selma Lagerlof's house to learn about the first women to win a Nobel Prize in Literature. They were able to meet some of the people as they walked along the streets. 


For this part of the day, Sofia had another outfit change. She changed into a black and white dress from Sandro and a pair of black sandals from Maje. Her necklace comes from Drakenberg Sjölin



For the final part of the day, the Prince Couple attended a dinner held by the Governor at the Governor's Residence. There they met various people from all around Värmland. 



For this reception, Sofia chose a black dress from Zara which she paired with her Kurt Geiger nude Pumps. Her earrings were the big statement piece of the outfit and they come from Pipols Bazaar


Day 2:

On the second day of their visit, Sofia and Carl Philip started the day in Almentorget (Almen Square) in Karlstad where they took a boat to Mariebergsskogen. There they saw a display at Natrurum going by train to a Children's Vegetable Garden. There the head gardner was able to tell them about how they work with various groups of children to learn about gardening. Sofia and Carl Philip were also able to talk with some of the children who have been involved, which resulted in some adorable photos.

After lunch at the beach, they visited Ztorylabs. Ztory offers an "all you can read" service for digital magazines and children's books. After attending celebrations in Karlstad Square, they visited the Consumer Agency to get information about their activities. Following this, they went via guided boat tour to Kristinehamn. They heard the history of Kristinehamn during their trip and at the end were able to meet with children Kristinehamn's Canoe Sailors who told about their activities.
Day 2 only saw one outfit for Sofia, although she did change shoes halfway through the day. She wore a dress from Gant, in the same print as the shirt she wore when arriving the previous day. Her shoes also come from Gant, until she changed into her black bow shoes we saw when she arrived via train the previous day. Her earrings come from Pilgrim (thanks Anna!) and a UFO bracelet featuring a star. She also wore her Stutterheim Raincoat at various parts throughout the day.


With all the outfits, she wore her Project Playground Bracelet.
Which outfit was your favorite?
