Livin’ on the edge
You can’t help yourself
You can’t help yourself
Livin’ on the edge
You can’t help yourself at all

You can’t help yourself from fallin’

Happy Friday!

Today I am doing a fashion post showing heels/boot style shoes, which is the latest release by N-Core.  They are available at Uber in 16 options or all in a fatpack and mesh body compatible.

I’m also wearing the Helen jewelry set by Zibska, which is available at Retro Rewind.  The set is comprised of necklace and earrings and comes with a texture change hud for the beads.  In the background I’m also showing some of the newest trees by Little Branch. The umbrella thorn is at Cosmopolitan and the wild maple is at SaNaRae and both are 4 seasons.

Enjoy the rest of your day and wishes for a fabulous weekend ahead.

She was a brat in his eyes

015 Reverie22

Yep, a spoiled annoying ill mannered child here… laughs.  I used to get annoyed with this guy that I was once involved with.. who would on occasion call me a brat. I’m absolutely sure he thought that I was  a bit spoiled at times.  In the sense that I was used to getting my own way… petulant at best if I didn’t get it either. I know it.

In any case, today I rather think that I was an adorable charming brat, because truth be told I’m not about to change now and I rather like me a lot. ❤

Schultz 008ps2

Good Sunday everyone.  I hope it’s been a non-eventful one or even an eventful one of the better kind. Mine has been rather quiet other than I broke the screen of my phone, so it was a bit of a nuisance to deal with.

Today I am featuring items from [Schultz Bros.], a creator/builder that I will be blogging for. Their products are all original mesh creations, very high detailed and what more can you ask for then at a low prim cost.  They have some of the most fantastic historical and abandoned buildings.  If you are not familiar with them, you really ought to go check their store out.

I’m featuring their latest creations, which is the Gardens House Gacha set currently at The Chapter Four.  It has 2 rares and 14 commons that I’ve listed below by their number. I like doing that, because it can be somewhat frustrating to try to identify the items that go with a gacha, especially if not grouped together in a picture like this.  Plus it helps me identify it later if and when I want to use it again.  My flickr and blog have become my source for finding items in my inventory!

Below credits is some helpful information provided by the creator to help you make the best use of this set.  The miniature replica of the house is not another item in the set, but rather just a copy that I made and downsized it to be the dogs home. The idea came when I was trying to give the picture some balance and was thinking to put out another large building so I put another copy of the house. It would have worked except when I tried to rez the next thing I was short on prims, which meant I had to rethink my idea. It lead to minimizing the house down into a pets residence, which gave me a chuckle as I was recalling a recent experience that my niece was sharing during her hours of volunteering at one of these non-profit animal shelters.

She talked of how each dog had its own dog house along with a pool and other comforts. Making us laugh as she is rather a very good storyteller. She’s like what pet wants to get adopted when they’re living in that kind of luxury? I sure wouldn’t! The homes were set up like a whole neighborhood and the dogs would be sitting on their front porches as if talking to each other. You can’t help and smile at the image.

The other item that I am showing today is the olive tree by Little Branch.  It’s available at this next round of The Liaison Collaborative.  It’s 4 seasons, so on a click you can pick the season you want. Go check it out!

Enjoy the rest of what’s left of your weekend!

Pull price is 60L.

Everything is hand made, 100% mesh.
All items are No Copy, Modify, Transfer.
All items, when sized bigger, will most likely increase the land impact… obviously 🙂
Please keep in mind, I don’t transfer items to Copy / Mod versions.

01. The Gardeners House RARE – Be aware that when changing wallpaper, you will not be able to get the previous wallpaper back. Also, changing the left wall will also change the right wallpaper with it. Same with front and back.  **I would suggest tinting the walls to a color (use light color), if you’d like to change the look & atmosphere of the interior of the house**

05. Mailbox – does not close.

08. Wheelbarrow – Features texture change. Touch to fill with dirt, touch again to remove.  If you plan on never having dirt, you may simply delete the script inside.

10. – 14. – All plants, please read. These were designed to be placed with the stems and small sign slightly in the ground. The most complex to place might be 14. Carrots. I’d suggest keeping the tops of the carrots slightly above the dirt. Also, linking 2 plants will keep them at 1 LI together. The exception is the Herb garden, as that one is 1 LI even.

15. Garden Path – The path comes wide, and is actually 2 PIECES. You can unlink them, (or edit linked parts for us lazy people lol), and move the other piece in front of the other to make very long path. The Land impact will remain 1 LI, just remember to link them back together 🙂

16. Tea Cup Bird Feeder – If you’d like to use the bird feeder without the stand,you will need to make the string & metal stand texture 100% transparent, then simply place it on whatever surface you desire 🙂

Thank you again & if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to let me know!

DaD 022

If I ever got a dog in real life it would probably be an English bulldog.  I think they have the cutest face ever.  I had a co-worker once who had one and hers was super big with all the folds in the skin and I would often joke with her saying that he had a face only his mother would like… meaning her.  She would laugh as she knew I was messing with her. It looked like this one here  except a bit wider.

Hope it’s been a great Monday!

Here Comes The Rain Again

The Den 036

There is rumbling in the sky as we’re about to have some severe weather this afternoon.  It’s been raining softly so far with just a bit of wind, but within a couple hours it’s supposed to be really coming down hard and furious.  I like rain showers, so bring it on.

Before I lose power, which is often the case at times when we have these intense storms, let me get this blog post done.  I’m showcasing this 17x8x9m pavilion by The [Den.]. It’s 100% mesh and materials enabled for a land impact of 17.  It’s currently available at FaMESHed.

It’s a great furniture piece that has many uses, though I opted to create this relaxing and warm space to sit and ponder or to hang out with family and friends.

Below the credits and video is the vendor ad that shows the full pavilion and not only the portion that I captured in my picture.

Yay! The rain just started coming down hard, so much for accurate weather forecasts.

Twisted happenings

028

The [Den.] has come out with a new skybox — the Room 341 out now at the newest round of Uber.  The size is 24 x 22 x 6m and is 73 prims.  One of the things to note about the builds from this creator is they are easily adaptable to fit whatever need you may have. For example this skybox can easily be used as a personal home or used for a business and modifiable to customize to your liking.  The first two pictures top and bottom of the photo below show the bigger room in dark and light lighting.  The other two pictures show the skybox as a double without doors, which makes it great for a store.

Featured as well is the decor wall clock by unKindness currently at the monthly Tres Chic event.  It’s available in a few colors. The other items by the same creator is the table and ottoman that is below the television at the LTD Event.

The Den Collage

To decorate the room above I used items from Finishing Touches.  The yellow loungers, rugs, round table with vases and the column shelves with the accessories are the hunt gift by Finishing Touches for the Twisted Hunt.  There is one other piece as part of this gift that is not pictured, which is the column shelves as stand alone.

It’s been three years since I last fully did this annual hunt. If I remember correctly you get no hints to find the twisted hunt object and there are dozens and dozens of the same object all over the store.  Though the gifts for the hunt were always pretty good as evident by the prize that Finishing Touches has put together for it.  There are other accompanying pieces to this set available in gacha at the store.

Happy shopping and hunting!

Welcome to my morning

Jian 001

My internet has been in and out since yesterday so I’m going to make it brief. I’m wearing a pencil skirt by MoDANNA, which is the group gift for this month. It’s a lovely sexy curvaceous dress as you can see.  In the background there I am showing another daybed and footstool by unKindness currently at FaMESHed.

The hot plate and coffee press items are by Jian, previously released and available now at the store.

The valentine items shown are all subscriber gifts from La Galleria.  This creator is very generous to her subscribers and really deserves kudos for that. Each week she has some gift that you can pick up somewhere at her store location.  She has amazing furniture and homes that are quite detailed and realistic and you should go check her items out.  My only problem is that I can only be on her sim for short periods of time before I start to lag considerably due to my slow internet and aged computer due to the high volume of items there.

Happy Friday!
