Sofia wore a custom made maternity dress from Ida Lanto. She wore her faux fur jacket from Morris Stockholm and wore her Yves Saint Laurent pumps. Her bag comes from Unisa. I loved this outfit- she looks amazing.
Yesterday, Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip attended a Charity Christmas Concert. One of the charities benefited by the concert was Project Playground which I am sure you are all aware of- was cofounded by Princess Sofia.
Princess Sofia wore her first "official" maternity dress which makes me excited because maternity pieces are easier to narrow down! Her dress is by Tiffany Rose- their Chloe dress in Dragonfly. It is a beautiful dress! Her earrings and bracelet both come from Caroline Svedbom and her heals are Saint Laurent. Arriving she also wore a new jacket from By Timo. Her clutch may come from Hunkydory- originally I was sold that it was from them but I don't know anymore upon closer inspection..
Huge thanks to The World of Royals for finding Sofia's earrings and bracelet! I just realized she wore this bracelet when picking up the Christmas Tree's at the Palace last week!
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.
On 22 September, Sofia and Carl Philip joined the King at the Opening of the General Synod in Uppsala. The service was led by the Bishop of Lund Johan Tyrberg. The General Synod is Sweden's largest religious governing body with 251 members who come from all throughout Sweden. It is an annual event and almost always a member of the Swedish royal family attends. This was Sofia's first time attending and I believe Carl Philip's first time as well.
Sofia wore a new dress from Viktoria Chan and carried a clutch from Dagmar. Her shoes appear to be her nude Saint Laurent's but they could be Kurt Geiger- it is hard to tell. Her earrings come from Mrs. Mi.
On Friday, the entire royal family -sans Princess Madeleine- attended the Sverigemiddag at the Royal Palace of Stockholm. This dinner is given once a year since its start in 2013. The King and Queen invite a variety of Swedes from all the counties who have made a contribution to society in some area or another. Last year there were farmers, sports players, and leaders just to give you a few different ideas of who is invited. This dinner is held to recognize their work but also to give the royal family a chance to hear about what is going on in the areas they come from. This dinner is not to be confused with Representationsmiddags which tend to be held twice a year. The Representationsmiddags are a more formal occasion where the jewels are pulled out. The Sverigemiddag is a less formal affair and there are no jewels or orders. Cocktail or long dresses may be worn and normally the family splits it up so at least one person is wearing a short dress.

This year Sofia got the short dress and Victoria debuted her baby bump in a long gown. (Side note- Victoria is pregnant!!!!! Due in March 2016! I was so excited I made myself sick to the point where I thought I was going to pass out!) Silvia always comes in a gown so this was not a surprise to me.
Sofia wore a dress from Dagmar with what appear to be her Saint Laurent Pumps. Everyplace I read about this look, everyone is not a fan. I on the other hand love the dress on her! I think the gold undertone goes splendidly with her hair and I hope she wears it again!
Victoria wore a long gown from Adrianna Papell. She has the short version of this dress as well which she wore not terribly long ago to a dinner at the Haga for one of the charities that their (Daniel and Victoria) wedding fund supports. It looks like she wore her grey By Malene Birger heels to match.
Silvia wore a black dress with a monochrome wrap around it. Again everyone I read seemed not to be a fan but I thought she looked splendid! Best use of this wrap to date. I have always hated when she has worn it in the back but this is a great look for it. However I am not so sure about the brooch she is using to hold it closed. Maybe a diamond one would have looked better instead of her ivory flower.
Tonight is the Pre Wedding party for Sofia and Carl Philip's wedding. Thanks to eagle eyes Heaven from Queen Raina's fashion- Sofia is wearing Zuhair Murad! She is also wearing a pair of Saint Laurent nude pumps.
Queen Silvia was the next lady to arrive. She rewore a Green jacket that she has had for sometime and matched it with some green pants. Not sure how I feel on this one but- hey her hair looks fantastic!
Madeleine also wore a new gown. While the color is still being disputed (check my twitter for all the ideas) she looked radiant. Her clutch is Diane von Furstenberg.
