Come With Me Into The Trees

We’ll lay on the grass
And let the hours pass

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Let’s get away
Just for one day

Depeche Mode – Stripped

I bet my parents shook their heads when Sander, 12 years old, blasted Depeche Mode on his boom box so everyone could hear. Even though I learned English at an early age, I didn’t really understand the meaning of their songs but they sounded awesome. Stripped was one of my favourites. This picture is not just inspired by the song, mind you, as a kid I used to grab my walkman, hike up the hills to find a nice view and I’d sit and enjoy the scenic surroundings with music in my ears. I know people do that all the time now, but believe me, it was freaking awesome to be able to do that in the early 80’s.

When I saw the I ❤️️ 80’s Music print on the Chris Classic Shirt by Treized Designs I knew this is what I wanted to do with it. There are 19 other prints to choose from though! Or you can just buy the fatpack with all 20. It’s available right now at The Executives event!

The Laguna House

At this round of Uber you’ll find this amazing build by DaD; the Laguna House is luxurious, modern, spacious and has a fantastic layout, with a beautiful infinity pool (with light system) separating the two wings. I already own a couple of homes by DaD from before I started blogging for them so I knew I was in for a treat. It still blew my mind when I rezzed it on the shore, it’s so beautifully and meticulously designed and it fit perfectly where I wanted it, between the river and the sea. Its footprint is 44,6 x 38,7 so make sure you have room for this on your parcel. It’s Copy/Mod so you can resize it down but I wouldn’t recommend reducing the size too much. The Li is only 135, which really is low for a build this size and with all its features.

For the landscape I have used all Little Branch and Studio Skye items. Here’s the full list, enjoy!

Standing Out

Being stylish means standing out yet fitting in at the same time.

Bridgette Raes

Yes, that is a fashion quote but it totally applies to other stuff too! Like the colourful Croton Plant by Little Branch. It was recently out at Cosmopolitan but it should soon be available in the Little Branch mainstore.

Croton is an extensive flowering plant genus in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. Its bright colors draw the eye like a moth to a flame.

It is 100% mesh with realistic and detailed textures and would make a perfect addition to your gardens and landscapes.

There are also complimentary landscaping items included. Land Impact is just 3, but as permissions are both copy & modify can be adapted to suit your needs.

We pulled off the greatest diamond heist, with me wearing the FBI Costume and Mahogany the Gloria Gown by Allure Couture.

The costume is fitted for Jake, Gianni, Geralt, Aesthetic, Slink, Ex Davide and Nx David. Shoes are fitted for Jake, Signature and Slink. You can buy the Classic version separately. Great as a Halloween costume or for roleplay! It’s available at the Allure Couture mainstore!

A Love-Love Relationship

Mainstore Visit: FKD Mens Fashion

Love-love. That’s the way a relationship is supposed to be, right? Most of them anyway. It applies to romantic relationships, friendships and should also apply to blogger/creator relationships. Yes, blogging is hard work when you put your heart into it, like so many of us do. It’s also a lot of fun, especially when you have a sponsor who truly appreciates the work you do. Who likes a boss who’s suspicious of you and never gives any feedback?

[FKD] Gabriel Button Shirt, Michael Tank and Raphael Shorts. Mix & Match!

FKD Mens Fashion was my first fashion sponsor. They were just starting out and so was I. We’ve, sort of, grown together these last eight months. My pictures have improved and are still improving and FKD Fashion is ready to take the next step; moving on from templates to original design. I am super excited on behalf of FKD and to still be a part of the team!

[FKD] Shawn Shirt – Graphic.

FKD loves their bloggers and show it, not only in Flickr comments and Blogotex, but also in their mainstore. Almost every ad in their mainstore has a blogger picture on them and it looks awesome. I wanted to give something back, a different kind of blog post, so I had some fun the other day when I visited the FKD mainstore and took pictures of “my” ads, while wearing the same clothes, so I could put them in this blog post.

The FKD brand is colourful and fun. Remember the Unicorn shirt? I love that shirt! Right now FKD is participating in the Spookzilla Hunt with some Halloween themed items, you can read more about that in this blog post, or head on over to the FKD mainstore to take a closer look!

The Halloween Robbery

The Bauer family were preparing for their Halloween party, blissfully unaware that the Störtebeker crew were coming to steal their vegetable harvest…

The beautiful Olive Tree Shade by Little Branch is available now at Equal10. These stunning trees will add a Mediterranean touch to your gardens and landscapes.

100% mesh with detailed and realistic textures and animated leaves giving that very life-like appearance. There is a choice of four seasons to choose from via an easy to use pop-up menu. Land Impact ranges from 4LI – 7LI but as permissions are both copy & modify can be adapted to suit your needs. You will also find a selection of complimentary landscaping item inside the box.

The adorable Veggiemites skeletons and the Scarecrow with bearcubs, both by EED, are amazing additions to your Halloween garden decor. Resizable on touch. Copy/No Mod.

If you’re looking for Halloween decoration for water, then take a closer look at the Pirate Skeleton Rowboat by HJM Designs, yarr! It comes with ambient sound. Touch the boat to start/stop the sound. This item is Copy/Mod.

Close To Nature

As promised in my previous post, here’s a closer look at The Little Branch’s potted Fiddle Leaf Fig which is out now at the Man Cave event.

Standing in a beautiful ornate pot, it will make a very decorative addition both inside and outside your homes. Their huge fiddle-shaped leaves (hence the name) and the fact they can grow over six-feet tall mean they have maximum impact in any room.

It is 100% mesh, with beautifully detailed and realistic textures giving it a very life-like appearance. Land Impact ranges from 3LI – 4LI, but as permissions are copy & modify, you can adapt them to suit your decorating and gardening needs.

Sanctum

I wanted to create a peaceful place for us to spend some quiet time together outdoors on our parcel, yet with the option of comfort and privacy. I saw the Byron Pavillion by DaD, and it’s perfect! The Byron hanging chair and climbing ivy, also by DaD. You can find the Byron Pavillion, the Byron Hanging Chair and the Climbing Ivy at the DaD mainstore and marketplace.

Trees, plants and grass are all from Little Branch. Inside the pavillion you can see their newest release, the potted Fiddle Leaf Fig which is available right now at the Man Cave event. I will give you a closer look of it in my next blog post.
