Happy National Day/Glad Nationaldag!

Well today is National Day in Sweden! This morning we were greeted with an adorable photo of Estelle wearing her National Day Costume. Victoria and Daniel are off this morning in Uppsala and the King and Queen in Örebro. Let's have a look at some of the lovely photos!




Victoria debuted another new dress from Lindex and paired it with her Giambattista Valli Jacket that we saw her in last week. Her shoes are Tabitha Simmons and her clutch is an old one I believe. I will post a photo of it if I can find it in my files.


Later the  whole family, minus Chris, will be at Skansen! Check out this wonderful shot of the family (sans the grandchildren) in the National Dress.

Portugal Day 2

I have held off writing this post in hopes that I would get a better idea of where Victoria's lovely blue dress came from but alas- nothing yet. Anyway- Victoria finished her visit to Portugal yesterday. She spent most of her time at sea with the Swedish Team but in the morning she met with Portugal's President and debuted a new blue dress.



She later spent time with the team on the boat and seemed to have a very enjoyable time.



Her blue dress as I mentioned I have no idea about it's designer but she wore her Jenny Packham necklace, carried her still UFO Clutch (I am wondering about Bottega Veneta but I have not been able to find one that is close enough yet), and on her feet were Roger Viver shoes.

Victoria in Portugal

After just finishing a state visit in Sweden, Crown Princess Victoria has jetted to Portugal to complete a 2 day visit there in Lisbon. She is taking part of the Volvo Ocean Race and Blue Week.

Victoria wore her Preen dress and carried her white Ralph Lauren bag. Her shoes are By Malene Birger and earrings and bracelet are Kreuger Jewellery.


 

UPDATE: Victoria changed before she went to see the Swedish team at the Ocean Race. She is wearing a new purple dress from Prada and her Yves Saint Laurent Sandals. She wore new Shourouk earrings (thanks Isabella!).

Cabinet Meeting at the Palace

Today Victoria and Carl Gustaf held a Cabinet Meeting at Kungliga Slott in Stockholm. The king hold 3-4 cabinet meetings a year where he is informed on what is going on in the government and ask questions. Victoria often attends these meetings with her father as she is heir to the throne.


Victoria rewore a dress from Marc Jacobs which we have not seen on her in a few years- since the time Estelle was born I believe. She also wore her Kreuger Jewellery Earrings.
 Tomorrow Madeleine and Silvia will hold an audience at the palace for Bill Gates and Victoria will be in Portugal.

UPDATE: And here is my video showing off my royal book collection! Do you have a collection- please share it with me!

End of a State Visit

Today was the last day of the Indian State visit to Sweden and Victoria, Daniel, Silvia, and Carl Gustaf were all out to finish their role as hosts.


As you can see Silvia and Victoria went with opposite ends of the color spectrum with Victoria in all neutral colors and Silvia sporting every color of the rainbow. Victoria wore a new coat from H&M with her Tabitha Simmons pumps and Chanel clutch. For jewellery she went with her favorite Krueger Jewellery.

One Busy Day

Today Victoria had an extremely busy day. She started out the morning by joining Crown Princess Mette Marit and Crown Prince Haakon of Norway at the EAT Forum in Stockholm. The website says, The vision of EAT is a transformation of the global food system to sustainably feed a healthy population of nine billion people by mid-Century. This makes sense that Victoria would attend because she is quite involved in the topic of sustainability. We have seen her attend a number of engagements over the past few weeks dealing with sustainability and environmental issues.

After attending this forum, Victoria joined her parents and Daniel for lunch which is apart of the continuation of the Indian State visit that will be going on for the next 2 days. She wore the same dress as this morning and changed the sweater to a more structured jacket. I am poking around for it now.



Onto the fashion- Victoria looked absolutely smashing today. She debuted a new dress, which thanks to a Twitter follower, is from Oscar de la Renta. She paired it with her Dior pumps and a matching clutch that I am wondering is also from Dior. I shall check into that this evening.


UPDATE: The dinner held by the King and Queen brought some surprises, disappointments, and a 3 beautiful ladies. Queen Silvia debuted a new dress which surprised me because she normally uses old favorites for state visits. I was not a fan of the dress but the jewels made me love her anyway. She wore the 9 Prong tiara with the Karl XIV Johan earrings. She also wore the Diamond Collier with pendant.

Victoria rewore her Elie Saab green sequin dress from the Nobels and paired it with the Cut Steel Tiara, a diamond necklace and Queen Josephine's Stomacher Earrings. I am not a fan of the hair in this look and think it looked better at the Nobels but I am glad she pulled it out again.
Sofia wore a new black gown from YDE Copenhagen which I am in love with. She just looked amazing. Her hair was beautiful from the back as well. She really has not stepped in the wrong direction lately. Her earrings are emeralds from Ebba Brahe a brand we have seen Victoria wear.

Which look did you like best?

First Day of the State Visit

Today Victoria, Daniel, Carl Philip, Sofia, and the King and Queen welcomed the President of India to Sweden. This was apart of a 3 day State Visit the President is making- it is the first state visit ever from India to Sweden so it is a big deal. This big deal had all the ladies bringing out some fine fashion.

Sofia wore a brand new dress from Paule Ka and wore her LK Bennett heels.
Victoria rewore a LK Bennett coat and a dress that she has worn in previous years which have no id. Her shoes are Dior and her hat is from Philip Treacy.

And Silvia looked lovely in purple!
