CHEZ FIFI

GOING....GOING....GONE........to the BOHO BALL and photo shoots

Time to go shooting for the next book and also for magazines. I am so looking forward to this new phase!!

Fortunately, Mark and I will be shooting in the Chicago area and also doing a couple of book signings.

The first book signing is May 19 at the beautiful

SCENTIMENTAL GARDENS

in Geneva, Illinois

also taking in 

ANNE MARIE'S BOHO BALL

and the second book signing will take place during 

THE NADA FARM EVENT MAY 20 &21

So, what's a Fifi-Girl to wear to

Anne Marie's BOHO BALL?

Well, since the style is wide open to personal interpretation I thought I would go all out and make the most of the opportunity to play dress up.

Here is what I came up with:

I made a headband with fabric and paper flowers embellished with a few rhinestones and ribbons.........

I ordered this lovely dress from

MAGDALENA

(merdalonka@gmail.com)

and treated myself to the boots from

THE JUNK GYPSY CO

I also got the white pettitcoat from them but now, it's a pale PINK to peak at the bottom of the dress and recall the pink roses from the headband......

Soooo, do you think I will be BOHO enough?????

Of course Mark will take lots of photos of the events and I will post them as soon as I get a chance.

OK, my friends, I am off but I will think about you and will report later........

Let me know what you think of my

BOHO "interpretation"

THANK YOU!!

 

HAPPY DAY........

I do not know the artist who painted this lovely mother and child scene but it seems so perfectly fitting to wish you a

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

that I had to post it. My apologies to the artist for not being able to mention her/his name.

 

To all the sweet moms out there:

May this day will be as special as you are.

THANK YOU!!!!!!
