Sophiahemmet for Sofia!

Today, Princess Sofia handed out the honors to Sophiasysters at Sophiahemmet- a private hospital in Stockholm. Sophiasysters are graduates of the Sophiahemmet University, a school for nurses to get their education. Once they have graduated to trained nurses they are called Sophiasyster or a "Sophia Sister". You may recall that Princess Sofia took over as Honorary President of the hospital, succeeding her Aunt-in-Law (if you would like to give it a label) Princess Christina, Mrs. Magnusson. Princess Christina was president from 1972 until the beginning of this year.

Sofia wore a new dress from Goat Fashion (Found by the Always Fabulous Rebecca). This red dress features a raised neck and near side bow, 3/4 length sleeves plus Goats signature side seam pockets. She paired it with her nude pumps from Kurt Geiger and diamond pave hoops from Engelbert Stockholm.

Don't forget that tomorrow is Prince Oscar's Christening! The Godparents were announced this morning (Crown Prince Frederik, Crown Princess Mette Marit, Princess Madeleine, Oscar Magnusson, and Hans Åstrom) and the guest list was released (sans Personal Friends and Court Staff). I will be up bright and early (actually it won't be bright when I get up...) and will be commenting live on Twitter and if you tune into Expressen you just might see me there as well. It is going to be a fabulous time and with the promise of 4/5 cousins in attendance you can be sure there will be some chaotic moments! 

Meetings at the Palace

Today Crown Princess Victoria participated in the board meeting of the Crown Princess Margareta Veterans Reserve Foundation. Victoria is chair of this foundation which supports different initiatives dealing with voluntary defense work around the country. In today's meeting she also handed out some medals to some participants. Victoria also held an audience for Hugo Nordenfeldt- but no photos have been released in connection to that.

Victoria appears to be wearing a white oversized top featuring folded sleeves. I cannot recall if we have seen this top before, I have a gut feeling that she has worn it or one like it before but I cannot find a photo to confirm my suspicions. The photo is not good enough for me to identify her shoes but they look to be either black or navy.

Don't forget that this Friday is the Christening of Prince Oscar! Guests begin to arrive at 11:00 CET and with the Royals arriving at 12:00 CET. I will be up (before 05:00 my time!) and Live Tweeting, helping Expressen (Who have been so kind to me recently- did you see the article they asked me to contribute to?!), and of course writing a post for all of you!

Royal Book Collection: Part 2

In addition- if you have royal books, I would love to see your collection! I love seeing everyones collections! (I mention a new fashion site: Check out Princess Estelle Attire for an amazing blog of Estelle's Fashion)

If you never saw my first one you can watch it here below. 

Social Media Sunday: Week 2

Thank you so much for all the Tweets, Messages, and comments we have recieved in response to last week's Social Media Sunday Post! Sounds like you all enjoy it so we will keep it going for a bit!

First up this week, Victoria, Daniel, Estelle, and Oscar returned from Öland and are back in Stockholm! They arrived in Öland at the end of last week and were there for 3-4 days- so a nice long weekend.

Check out this fun video of the King and President of Chile leaving the Royal Mews at the beginning of the state video! Oh to have a birds eye view of occasions such as this! 

Victoria and Oscar were seen walking in Stockholm as well this week!

It was a very slow week for Social Media finds but that is not something I can control! Hopefully next week will have some more! 

UPDATED: Prince Couple at the Royal Palace

Today the Prince Couple greeted Jeffrey Katzenberg at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. Jeffrey is an American Film Producer who has produced fims such as Shrek, Shrek 4-D, and the Road to el Dorado. He is currently visiting Sweden ahead of the release of the film, Trolls, and is going to attend the Eurovision Song Contest Final.

The Prince Couple also met with reporter Roger Lundgren. He writes that he was also introduced to Prince Alexander who slept peacefully through their meeting. I imagine there has been a little nursery made at the Palace for all these babies who are being born. I would think that both Sofia/Carl Philip and Victoria/Daniel are bringing their little ones to work with them.

Princess Sofia is wearing a dress from Prada which she first wore to the opening of the Princess Lilian Exhibition back in August. She wore an *interesting* navy coat from Gant over the dress. Her necklace is from Emma Israelsson.

 

Prince Alexander! (and Family)

Yesterday the Prince Couple released photos of Prince Alexander in connection to Prince Carl Philip's Birthday. These series of 5 photo were taken in Drottningholm Palace and on the grounds around the palace. These photos were taken by Erika Gerdemark, who also took the couples Engagement Photos, Wedding Photos, and now their new family photos. I suspect she has come the Prince Couple's photographer as both of his sisters seem to have their go-to photographers. (Crown Princess Victoria - Kate Gabor, Princess Madeleine- Brigitte Grenfeldt)

The photos also feature another member of their little family- Siri!

In the first selection of photos, Sofia is wearing a new white dress from Lindex. In the final photo she is wearing a top from H&M and trousers from Tiger of Sweden. Her shoes are not Gianvito Rossi as has been previously reported- the heels are not the same. The pumps are currently a UFO (unidentified fashion object) but we are trying to identify them and when that happens we shall update the blog!

Day 2 of State Visit

Today is the 2nd day of the State Visit from Chile to Sweden. The day started with the King and President attending a Business Forum organized by Business Sweden and ProChile at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm. The forum was created in hopes to highlight the two country's mutual desire for cooperation in the areas of sustainable mining, transport, healthcare, as well as energy and environmental technologies.

After this forum, Victoria, Daniel, and Carl Philip joined for a lunch held at Stockholm City Hall hosted by the President of Stockholm's City Council and the Finance Commissioner. Later today the President will host a response dinner at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm.

For the lunch at the City Hall, Victoria wore a white brocade dress from the British Brand, Suzannah. You might recall that the Countess of Wessex wore a similar dress from this brand not too long ago. Victoria paired it with her white Ralph Lauren bag and a pair of white heels which look to be from Gianvito Rossi. In her hair, Victoria wore a hairpiece that I believe is new but we will have to wait for our Royal Hat Expert to weigh in on that! She accessorized with a necklace and pair of earrings from Kreuger Jewellery.
