Victoria, Daniel, and Estelle in Silicon Valley

Victoria, Daniel, and Estelle started their visit to Silicon Valley with a FIKA (coffee break) at the Swedish Church.
Can we please start by admiring how they are all matchy matchy? So adorable!

Okay- on to the Fashion! Victoria wore her COS dress with her Kreuger Pearl Earrings and By Malene Birger Shoes.



UPDATE:

Estelle wore this stunning Livly dress appropriately called Painted Garden. She also wore a bow from Livly and Livly Mary Jane shoes.



Sofia at the Sports Gala

Today, Sofia and Carl Philip attended a Sports Gala in Stockholm.

Sofia wore this BCBG Max Azria color blocked gown. This gown has been appearing in a lot of my searches lately and I am glad that I finally get to see it on a royal! I will look around for her accessories later tonight.

First Engagement of the Year

Today Crown Princess Victoria joined her parents for their first engagement of the year. The trio met with aid workers at Stockholm's Palace who had just returned from Ebola affected areas in West Africa.
For this engagement Victoria re-wore some pieces that she debuted last year  and has continuously worn since.

Victoria has wore both her blue LK Bennett Jacket and her Yves Saint Laurent booties at least twice in the past month or two so it was not really a surprise to see her wear them again. Due to the photo quality it is difficult to see her shirt plus black shirts are hard to identify. Any Ideas?

UPDATE: Expressen posted this better quality photo of Victoria. Still no clue what shirt she is wearing however.

Remember Sofia's stunning gown for the King's Dinner for the Nobel Laureate's?
 Well after many weeks of looking through fashion show photos- I stumbled upon it by accident! The gown comes from Eliza Jane Howell!

Confirmation from Fadi el Khoury

I have spent my morning sending emails back and forth with various designers and I can confirm that Fadi el Khoury is the designer of both of these gowns. This is probably not news to you as it was suspected but I just wanted to make sure. They are beautiful dresses!

I must say that out of all the designers I have conversed with over time- Fadi el Khoury has been the nicest and the quickest in returning my emails. I love these gowns too!

Discussing Sofia Hellqvist's Future

As most of you probably know, Sofia Hellqvist will officially become a member of the Swedish Royal Family next June 13th. With that we can expect to see a lot more of her and her fashion choices.

I have started to wonder which way Sofia's tastes in fashion will go. Victoria tends to wear high street brands made/designed by Scandinavians (ex. Tiger of Sweden, H&M, by Malene Birger). Madeleine however tends to lean towards well known designers (ex. Valentino, Marchesa, Oscar de la Renta), showing New York City's influence on her I believe. Which will Sofia choose? Or will she mix both?

In the past Sofia has tended to go towards the cheaper high end designers- (ex. Zara, Tadashi Shoji, Gant) but since her engagement we have seen her in more expensive designers such as Roland Mouret and Matthew Williamson but also still remaining faithful to Tadashi Shoji and Tiger of Sweden. For her Nobel Debut she choose a Swedish higher end Designer- Ida Sjostedt.

She seems to be mixing both influences from Victoria and Madeleine choosing high end designers but pairing them with Swedish designers. (See example below).

In the near future you should expect to see a page for Sofia popping up on the sidebar, I plan on starting off with a mass page like Estelle and Silvia have and then as it fills up breaking it up into smaller pages like Victoria and Madeleine's.

ALSO- I want you to know that Ccile and I are working together to identify the gowns from the King's Nobel Laureates Banquet. (In the meantime- check out her blog!!)
