On the final day of her Central American visit, Queen Letizia had a busy agenda. Her morning began with a meeting with the Technical Office of the Spanish Cooperation in El Salvador, followed by a visit to La Casa Tomada, an artistic and cultural centre, where Her Majesty met with artists and members of a theatre group, La Cachada Teatro.

She paired white straight-leg jeans with a green perforated suede jacket and a breezy tee from Adolfo Dominguez's 'Flower Bloom' collection. The satin top is defined by a bold abstract floral print. Letizia's tee has a v-neck silhouette, however the current stock image shows the boat-neck version.

One of my readers has just identified the green perforated suede jacket. It is by Uterque, from their Spring/Summer 2014 collection:

Letizia's TOUS 'Beethoven' earrings added a touch of glam to her casual ensemble.

In the afternoon, the Queen visited the town of Jiquilisco and held a meeting with the Community Family Health Specialised Unit. She learnt about their home care program as the serious health issue of chronic kidney disease, which is endemic in communities living in poor socioeconomic conditions.

Queen Letiza changed up her look for this visit. She paired navy skinny pants with a new Hugo Boss jacket. While I'm not 100% certain of the model but it looks very similar to the brand's BOSS 'Karina6' blue blazer (£330) which features top-stitch detailing and double button front.

Letizia wore a white Peter Pan collar blouse under her jacket. It is the Mango sleeveless top from their Summer 2012 collection.

The piece is not new and has been in Letizia's closet since June 2013.

Letizia added a nautical touch to her outfit, wearing the Pretty Ballerinas navy stripe flats with red tie.

Núria Tiburcio from Vanitatis made an interesting observation, it seems Queen Letizia is channeling the style of her youngest daughter! Infanta Sofia was seen wearing the children's version of these flats to a zoo outing in 2011.

Despite the long-haul flight, Queen Letizia emerged looking fresh and chic in a new Hugo Boss 'Recire' Tweed Skirt paired with a natural toned BOSS 'Bedona' silk blouse.

On her feet were her navy Carolina Herrera cross-strap suede sandals which Letizia premiered earlier this month when she met the Italian president.

When these shoes were first identified, I did not notice the buckle detail on the straps and thought they were style number "14" from the current CH Spring Summer 2015 footwear collection. But after close examination, the style is number "13" (shown in coral on the CH website).

Letizia contrasted the outfit with her red Adolfo Dominguez 'Aspen' leather wristlet clutch (€169) which she debuted last month at the 'Cervantes Award' ceremony.

She finished the outfit with her TOUS cultured freshwater pearl drop earrings.

She recycled the cocktail outfit she debuted at last month's Woman Magazine awards. The ensemble consists of a Felipe Varela glittering black lace strapless dress, paired with her Prada black Saffiano print patent leather pointy toe pumps.

Letizia varied some of her accessories compared to the first time she wore the dress. Tonight she carried a simple black clutch bag from Felipe Varela and added her Cartier white gold and diamond column bracelet.

But what caught my eye was a new pair of dazzling diamond and white gold tear drop earrings. They were initially thought to be from Spanish jeweler, Yanes but the company denied ownership. The hunt continues for the designer.

During her trip, Queen Letizia will have opportunity to see first-hand the various projects developed by the Spanish cooperation in areas such as water and sanitation, education, technical training, gender equality, protection of human rights, battle against violence, and promotion of historical and cultural heritage.

Among the projects, Her Majesty will promote youth employment through entrepreneurship municipalities as part of the Workshop School, which was set up to create employment opportunities for young people living in vulnerable situations.

Additionally, she will lay the the foundation stone of the project 'Increasing the coverage of water and sanitation' that seeks to improve the living conditions of the population of the communities of northwestern valley of Comayagua.

Princess Leonor's First Communion

20/5/2015

Today was a significant social occasion for the Spanish royal family. The King and Queen of Spain attended their daughter Princess Leonor's First Holy Communion.

View image | gettyimages.com

View image | gettyimages.com

The communion was a family affair with Queen Sofia and King Juan-Carlos joining Letizia's parents Jesus Ortiz and Paloma Rocasolano at the service, along with Princess Leonor's younger sister, Infanta Sofia.

View image | gettyimages.com

The ceremony was held in a simple parish in Aravaca, a quiet neighborhood of Madrid. Spanish royals traditionally take their First Communion alone at the Palace of Zarzuela, but the new monarchs decided it would be best if their daughter received the sacrament with her classmates from the Santa Maria de los Rosales school. There was no chiffon dress, tiara or flowers for the young crown Princess of Asturias. Instead she was dressed in her school inform like all her classmates.

View image | gettyimages.com

Today, Letizia looked beautiful in a white lace creation by Felipe Varela, the only designer she trusts for such momentous occasions. The collarless lace jacket overlayed a mint green sleeveless sheath dress.

Letizia coordinated the classic Varela outfit with an interesting set of space-age vinyl accessories from Magrit's 'Cristal' collection.

She carried the 'Sly' bag (€150), a clutch made entirely in transparent vinyl and specchio silver on the inside.

The bag was paired with the matching vinyl 'Silvie' slingback peep-toe sandals (€270).

Queen Letizia completed the outfit with her TOUS moonstone earrings which worked perfectly with the Varela ensemble.

Despite Letizia's unorthodox choice of vinyl accessories, I still loved the outfit. Only the Queen of Spain can dare to get away with it!
