Flower Series: Forget-Me-Nots

The wearers of these flowers will not be forgotten by their lovers.
Forget-me-nots have always been my favourite flower. There is just something so spectacular about their teensy tiny beauty. I'd recognize them anywhere by their vibrant blue hue, which is why when I went for a walk with the boyfriend yesterday and we were crossing a bridge over a river, I knew immediately that the field of blue at the river's edge was forget-me-nots. 
I had full intention to do a look based on forget-me-nots some time during this series, but seeing all those flowers last night inspired me to do it right now. I didn't have a plan for this look, so I just went for it and I didn't mind how it turned out.

However, please not that it's scalding out and with the wild flowers sitting on my desk while I did this look, my allergies were acting up and I wanted to get this done, over with and off my face ASAP :P

  1. Gorgeous! Love the look. My allergies have been driving me bonkers yet - but it's not due to the warm weather....with the exception of today it's been wet and cold in Vancouver!
