Week in Review: Crown Princess Victoria, 27 March - 2 April

Here's what Victoria wore from 27 March - 2 April:

1. Meeting representatives of Armé- Marin- och Flygfilm, 28 March.
2. At a Robyn concert, 28 March. Now, this would have been the place to wear that Lanvin necklace.
3. On a visit to Smaland, 31 March, a) with coat and b) without. Very flattering!
4. Attending a dinner at Residenset, 31 March. And we see the return of this dress, which I just find odd. I mean, it's business on the bottom, randy Victorian nightgown on the top.
5. Second day of the Smaland visit, 1 April, a) with coat and b) without. I like the coat, but the dress does nothing for me (or for her).
6. Visiting "The Kingdom of Crystal", 2 April, a) with coat and b) without. You know I love my Victoria in statement colors, but methinks this is tragically weighed down with black tights and boots.

Best and Worst of the Week

Combining statement prints is an art, and outfit 3 is a success. Love it. The blazer is flattering, and the scarf adds just what it needs to keep from looking like the uniform of a candy striper (or a child sailor? or a prisoner?). Outfit 5b takes my worst for the week, because while there's nothing particularly wrong about it (well, I mean, you know how I feel about those boots), there's nothing really flattering either. It's a whole bundle of meh.

What made your best and worst list for the week for Victoria?

Week in Review: Crown Princess Mette-Marit, 13-19 June

Here's what Crown Princess Mette-Marit wore the week of 13-19 June:

1. Arriving in Stockholm for the wedding, 17 June. The rest of the family travelled by plane but Mette-Marit here came by train because she's afraid of flying.  And that's not the only cute thing about her: this is a perfect traveling outfit for a princess-on-the-go.
2. Wedding rehearsal, 17 June.  Have to say I would have preferred she stick with the train gear.
3. Private wedding dinner at Drottningholm, 17 June. Fabulous dress of the weekend #1.
4. Wedding luncheon hosted by the King at Sturehof Castle, 18 June. This scarf and cardigan combo is adorable, and the turquoise jewelry adds great color.  Unfortunately she brought along the navy windbreaker you see her holding there and put it on later, ruining the whole thing.
   
5. Pre-wedding dinner and concert, 18 June.  Fabulous dress of the weekend #2.
6. Crown Princess Victoria's wedding, 19 June. Fabulous dress of the weekend #3.  Best dressed of all the wedding guests?  Discuss.

 It's the tiara.  It speaks to me.  So does the white dress, but all that's saying is "Don't look at me!"  Or maybe that's the cardigan and the brown trim on the purse speaking.

2010 Grammy Awards Red Carpet Fashion: Who Wore What? Fergie

Fergie in Emilio Pucci Spring 2010

When Fergie first stepped onto the 2010 Grammys Red Carpet, my first intuition was to say "Oh Dear". However, after a sip of my red wine, this mini Royal Blue and Gold number from designer Peter Dundas' "sizzling sexy Spring collection" for the House of Emilio Pucci, grew on me. I really loved this collection, which was full of micro-short dresses and wonderfully chic separates all the supermodels would love. And now, also, all the "Super Singers" like Miss Fergie. The gold padded detail was a bit "space-age-y" but hey, compared to what Lady Gaga wore, this is very "down-to-Earth" kiddies.
