piece 4 love

3 in 1 – just change shoes or accessories

I bought the jumpsuit on a group on facebook the other day less than 50 euro, only used twice,, and it is a mix of silk and cotton…. it is my piece 4 love 4 the summer 2014, it is lovely, and I feel as if I was home, wearing it today at work.

At work I realized that my new piece 4 love can change my style just by changing shoes and accessories. Which is why my post today is called 3 in 1…

The first shoot with the roses is a more casual daily look, wearing open ballerina, the loose fitting vest from designers remix with a little luxurious touch from the unique pair of handmade earrings from Pia Andersen.

In the second shoot I changed to my dune leather lace up shoes and used my handmande silk tie from Mette Greta, in order to make a more party like look.

But then I realized I can also make a look for work, binding my tie and wearing the vest again.

How I just love to mix my clothings, and know I can use it for more than one kind of activity.

I love my new jumpsuit, and since it is second hand it really makes me look good and save the world at the same time.

Look Good and Save the World

Send more love

what is happening?

why is a 17 year old guy bullied to suicide

WHY?????

If you ever feel bullied or bad, turn your head to

other places

other people

Turn your thoughts into happy thoughts, by

either imagining beautiful pictures or words in your mind.

Think, feel, breath love. Even if it is difficult, try to think “love”.

Do it right now!

Do you feel it?

It makes you feel more confident, and safe.

Which make you take better choices of what to do in life,

to make yourself surrounded by people, surroundings and

experience that help you grow as the person you are, and

make you fulfill your inner dream.

I still forget to send love, when I get bad thoughts and memories

about my past, and unlucky experiences.

This creates unnecessary bad communication between

me and my loved ones, which makes me feel bad…

But instead of keeping being sad and feeling bad,

I should send more love and remember to be glad…

And so do you, and remember to stay true to yourself,

the most important thing in life is you in a
great exchange with the people who love and cherish you

Please send this to everybody you know,
you never know if somebody actually need it
maybe you save their life

follow me on twitter og insta…. if you would like to get more love

press the picture, and watch my video about why you should love yourself

You can look as good as you want – but will that ever make you happy?

Yes, I am telling you straight ahead that your look
has only a little part to do with making you happy.

Sorry,

… I got a chock too.

When I was teenager.. around 16-17 I got the idea that it was all about the look.

I dreamed about being a model, I competed in a miss event and tried to contact photographers and model agencies… but I was not happy, even if I some where knew I looked good. And since I was not strong enough to be patient on getting jobs, I just concluded, that I was not enough good looking, and that I did not deserved better….

But later, I understood something really important…

I hope you understand it before I did? – how to be happy

Of course feeling good about how you look makes you feel more satisfied,
but if you are not happy in advance, a new pair of shoes or some other small thing are far from what create long lasting happiness inside your body.

Now I have finally realized… (20 years later…)

that I feel happy with myself when I

make things that make my life easy without harming other people
am together with people who makes me feel good and who make and give me space for development
when I make sure that I eat good food and sleep all night

I would like to give this knowledge to you and other people who have difficulties in finding happiness….no matter how you look.

You can see more stuff about how to be happy about yourself right here

But

why am I then on lookbook?

why do I sell beauty accessories?

and

how do that fit with my eager to save the world?

Beautiful things make me happy – upcycling things make me feel I am contributing to a better world which make me even more happy.

Lookbook and all its contributors gives me valuable inspiration in my way of making it easier to chose clothing in my own closet.

I sell beauty accessories, first of all because I love them. I know all of the products in my shop by heart and I love to make other people happy with upcycling or products with a really good story.
(read the article about the Danish Fairtrade Fashion Designer here)

By writing my thoughts about life and beauty on this page I feel I can contribute to the idea: look good and save the world…

Have you thought about what makes you happy?

Either in comments or by mail anna@calledda.com if you like to be anonymous.

Until then, see you on twitter or instagram…..

and remember:

you are a piece 4 love, cherish and take care of yourself everyday then it is much easier to look good and save the world.

Feeling Loved

Yes, what makes you feel loved?

Either loved by yourself or others?

I feel loved by myself
when I take time to listen and do what my heart tells me to do.

I feel loved by others,
when they tell me that I am good company.

I feel loved by my husband
when he says thanks for some little thing I have done

It is all about retro

Nice words has many meanings.

Retro means old school stuff with a nostalgic touch… and yes….

6 years is a lot… which makes my look rather retro, because I just

loved each look, for everything it could make me feel.

On the first look you see a pair of short jeans, which I still have – I bought them in 2006 …. I have not found another pair yet that is able to replace the way they make me feel.

Found out more about the looks on my profile on lookbook

What about you, do you have any looks that you really cherish?

Or a piece of clothing which just follow you?

Let me know, so I can get inspired for more articles about retro

Give me a comment or send me an email with a picture of your beloved items.

Saving the world with Stinne Gorell

What an honor

This is the 1st photoshoot with piece 4 love wearing Stinne Gorell.

Tjeck it out:

To care about nature and people when producing fashion items

is a quest of its own when designing a collection of stylish clothing.

Nevertheless the Danish Fashion and Conscious Designer Stinne Gorell

is exactly doing what everybody else find difficult to engage in:

Making fashion with a real good story due to the sustainable and

responsible behavior in the supply chain.

Stinne Gorell creates knitwear in all forms such as;
Hats, gloves/mittens, ponchos and much more.

The items are made out of the philosophy that you get a product with many functions and combinations to suit your personal style.

Danish women in private homes make the handmade part of the collection all over Denmark.

All machine knitted products are made in Bolivia by a Danish owned FAIRTRADE certified company.

As Stinne Gorell states herself on her webpage: “We only use fur for tassels from free-range highland alpacas, died of natural causes.”

piece 4 love are so happy being able to help Stinne Gorell on her responsible mission, which is why, we brought in her products in the piece 4 love shop.

The next following days, we will post more pictures with items from

Stinne Gorell, and we will upload more products in the shop….

Have a look at the poncho and the beanie from Stinne Gorell here

Time to time

For the first time I leave the word for another person on this blog,

it is an honor to present a post written by a very clever lady:

TIME

Present, past, future, before present.

Slowtime, fast time, time to be and just think free thoughts, like in a flow

Time for immersion; time to be with human beings, who stop time or make it past to fast.

Lack in time, the time that is slow, time to enjoy, to have fun.

The last time, the time before the time, that all the time becomes less and less, because time is moving and we do not always know where it went.

My life has come to the point, where time is very central – the first of my friends past away some time ago. A sad time, which made me go through a time with many thoughts and time for reflection. What do I want to spend my time on, that time that becomes less all the time.

What did I spend my time on doing, can I peacefully say before present; I feel well and I am right there where I want to be?

Or did the time thief take the time, too many who just wanted my time, without giving me time back again.

The death, is that time that arrives to all of us and it is the time where time stops. It is with light and love I write this. I have been so happy for the time that has been, happy for the time I was able to past with my friend, who now is at ”home”.

I am happy that I time to time think about how I want to spend my time since it becomes less every day, and I have to spend the time on things that make my happy.

Dear you, who reads this. The other day I read a story told by a nurse. She had been there many times with people for whom time on earth was about to end. They all told, that the things they regret the most, was that they did not spend enough time on their beloved ones, they did not spend enough time on having fun, laughing, dancing, enjoying the sound of the waves or the touch of the wind.

Instead they had spend too much time on working and making things work out, because they thought that when everything was in its space, then they would get time to do all the other things. But things never worked out properly, because all the time new things came in and had to be fixed, and then the time past by without saying anything. nobody was able to say: ”goodbye I am happy now, because I have spend my time enjoying the fruit of all the planning and money I made.”

By the way… my name is Maybritt and I am a founder of the Danish blog The Cityprincesses www.cityprinsesserne.dk

Here we spend our time having fun ourselves or with other people and we spend our time blogging

Today I had some time to write a guest post for Anna which made me think about all the things about time.

Thank you so much spending your time reading this.

time is a piece 4 love

I killed my bags,,,,,,

Sometimes you just need to change, change big time,

but maybe you feel like I do.

I like it the ways the things are. I love my bags.
My bags that I have had for more than 12 years, handmade bags,
practical bags, small bags, thermo bags, medium sized bags, and so on.

Today I faced my biggest fear,,, well,,, not that I have ever thought
about it, but today I mistakenly killed all my bags.

You can see the picture of the disaster later in the post…..

For the first time in 14 years I have to buy a new suitcase, and I stick
to the same brand as last time, because hadn’t been for my own
stupidity – I would still have my bags… but sometimes,,,,
even a piece 4 love need change… rest in peace my lovely bags…

Remember to save your stuff properly, otherwise you could as well,

give it away…. it is a piece 4 love, and so are you

killed my bags
