Day 5 of 5 in Peru and Colombia

Victoria and Daniel started their final day by meeting with 3 different women's organizations. They will hear about how the organizations use women as agents of peace. Next they made their way to the Gold Museum located in Bogota's Historical Center. Next they went and saw the Swedish Embassy and afterwards they meet with Colombian students who have had the opportunity to study in Sweden. Their final event was a lunch meeting discussing the topic of transportation and transport infrastructure. That concludes their visit and they will fly back home to be reunited with their darling daughter who has been staying the week with Daniel's parents.



Victoria wore a new dress from Asos which she covered with a cropped peplum jacket from Seraphine. I confirmed with Seraphine that this was their jacket and they said Victoria added the bow after purchasing. An interesting note is that Madeleine has the same jacket in black. She carried her new white bag from Hippi Grace once again.

  



UPDATED: Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Science's

Tonight Carl Philip and Sofia attended the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences' Formal Gathering. This was not Carl Philip's first time attending (if my memory stands correctly) but it was Sofia's first time. The formal gathering is held once a year and a member of the Royal Family typically attends and hands out the scholarship/prize.


Sofia wore a new peach colored gown with fantastic drop earrings. I am in love with the earrings I must say. They are from Ebba Brahe. I am not sure how I feel about the gown- it is starting to grow on me but not completely there yet. She carried a new small gold clutch. She also wore the full sash but did not wear her miniature King's picture which is strange. Also her star is pinned much higher than the Swedish Ladies tend to place it. All very curious but she manages to pull it off. UPDATE: Her gown comes from Asos. Her shoes I believe to be her Saint Laurent and her clutch comes from H&M.

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.

UPDATED: Day 3 of 5 in Peru and Colombia

Victoria and Daniel began their visit to Colombia today with a visit to the Agency of Reintegration, a program focusing on social reintegration and has a partnership with the Folke Bernadotte Academy in Sweden. Next up they attended the opening of a panel with Swedish Companies at a Swedish Sea Port conference. Their final engagement before attending a lunch hosted by the Swedish Ambassador, was a guided walking tour around the historic center of Cartagena. After lunch they got a tour of the Port of Cartagena. In the evening Victoria and Daniel attended a dinner hosted by the Mayor of Cartagena. I have included 1 photo of each outfit below but you can check out Robin Utrecht's wonderful gallery here for more photos!

Victoria wore a dress from Asos' Maternity Line, her shoes appear to by By Malene Birger. She carried her new (very) large white envelope clutch which (UPDATE) comes from Hippi Grace. When they participated in a walking tour, Victoria switched to sensible flats which come from Tod's.

 

 


For those of you who love this dress, they have it in regular sizes as well but it is almost sold out so go check it out here!

Later in the evening, Victoria changed into a blue dress for the reception. While I have no confimation on the designer of the dress yet, I believe it comes from Seraphine. (UPDATE IT DOES INDEED COME FROM SERAPHINE) It looks very similar to this dress they sell. I shall, as always, update the blog when I know. She wore her grey By Malene Birger pumps to match. Her clutch comes from Nancy Gonzalez and her earrings are an old favorite of hers. Unfortunately they are UFO's. (Side note- Huge shoutout to all the Facebook followers who are finding ID's on old pieces worn by our leading Swedish Ladies! You all Rock!)

Day 2 of 5 in Peru and Columbia

Today Victoria and Daniel continued their visit to Peru and Columbia. They started the day before 7:30 am with a visit to Volvo Trucks. They next visited the Next Cancer Institute (INEN) where they visited with children. Victoria surprised the press by pulling out books out of her bag by Astrid Lindgren, who is the Swedish author who wrote Pippi Longstocking, and is Victoria's favorite children's author. Finally the finished their public tour with a walking tour of historic Lima. They ate lunch with the Mayor of London before heading to Cartagena, Columbia.
Victoria wore a dress from ASOS's maternity line which she either had made custom or shortened on her own (meaning she had her tailor do it... although picturing Victoria hemming her own dress makes me smile). She started the day in a heels, but then she later changed into sensible flats from TOD's. Her pumps may come from Rizzo, but I haven't seen a better photo of them to be sure.  Her earrings and necklace come from Kreuger Jewellery. She also appears to have a new clutch which appears to be a large white flap bag.

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.

Another Seraphine Dress for Victoria!

Today Victoria was in Luxembourg to attend the 5th Annual Honorary Meeting of the International Paralympic Committee.  She chose a dress from Seraphine for this occasion.



What do you think? Is this outfit a hit?
