I'll just sing with the birds

I'm finally getting around to blogging some of the things from Designers United II event. I didn't want to do it when it first opened up because the feeds were inundated with things from it, and I was getting a bit sick of looking at it myself! I do believe the event is over now, but for those of you who went and got some of the stuff if not all of it...let us bask in the afterglow!

I do believe my new favorite color is black. Its sleek, sophisticated, edgy, sexy, strong, bold...you can look sweet and strong at the same time with this color! This top from Beetlebones was the first thing that rezzed for me in the store, it was love at first sight. I love the feather fluff on the shoulder! I had to find a black skirt to match the specific black of the top, with a bit of shading also...I couldn't for the life of me find a skirt separate in my entire inventory. Travesty, I tell you. SO, This Is Fawn Stringy Dress saved my life....well...look. While the tones are almost exact, there is a slight difference...but honestly you can only tell if you are zoomed up on it. I had a tough time with a shoe choice. I Spent 45 minutes and a Tuk Tuk ride from my girl bubs, trying to figure out a shoe choice. I finally settled on the Five Belt Boots from Anexx in this special edition color Purple (was made for Euni Kira's blog HQ, they are located at Euni's blog HQ, and a damn STEAL at 200L!!! GO NOW!!!), A. I wanted to break up the monotone black and B. because I wanted something to balance out the weight of the shoulder piece, and it wasn't working with slim heels and boots. Anyway, enough blathering and on to the photo.

while putting this blog together I was listening to this song on repeat, Honey Bee by Zee Avi. I adore her voice and she is so adorable.

I am a honey bee,
Shut out from the colony.
And they won't let me in,
So, I left the hive.
They took away all my stripes,
And broke off both my wings.


So I'll find another tree,
And make the wind my friend.
I'll just sing with the birds,
They'll tell me the secrets of the world.


But my other honey bee,
Is stuck where he doesn't wanna be.
But my darling honey bee,
I'll come save you even if it means,
I'd have to face the queen.


Ba da ba da da dum,
Ba ba ba da da da dum.


So, I'll come prepared,
My new friends say they will help me,
Get my loved one back.
They say it isn't right,
The bee's have control of your mind,
And I choose not to believe them.


So we'll meet in the darkness of the night,
And I promise I will be there on time.
We'll be guided by my new friends the butterfly's,
Bring us back to our own little hive.


Oh, my darling honey bee,
No longer stuck where he doesn't wanna be.
Oh, my darling honey bee,
I have saved you and now that you're with me,
We can make our honey.


Ba da da ba dum bum,
Ba da ba da da da dum.
