Ukranian Christmas Dinner 2010

Every year my fabulous friend Janet hosts a Ukranian Christmas dinner on January 6th, which is Christmas on the Ukranian calendar.  And every year she outdoes herself preparing the most incredible homemade borscht, pierogies, sauerkraut, bread, and kutya.  This amazing dinner and celebration has become such a tradition over the years, that it literally doesn’t feel like the end of the Christmas season for me until Janet throws her Ukranian Christmas dinner.

I wore my Rebecca Taylor printed silk dress layered over a Madewell white ribbed tank and a pair of Wolford black opaque tights.

It’s cold out there.  So, to help keep warm I chose to wear a wool donegal tweed scarf that I knitted years ago.  The necklace is the ring I bought in Singapore on a simple gold chain.

Vintage Salvatore Ferragamo boots that I found on Ebay.

Oh, and just in case you were wondering…  This is my fabulous new engagement ring!!!  He did a great job, didn’t he?  I couldn’t have done a better job had I chosen it myself.  It’s so sparkly.  It’s been 3 weeks, and yet I still find myself thinking that’s not my hand I’m staring at.

Mmm-mmm, Janet.  Thanks so much for last night’s delicious dinner.  We had such a great time.
