LBD for my Fiancé’s Birthday

This last week was kind of a “birthday week”, since on the 18^th September it was my Grandmother’s birthday and the next day, on the 19^th September, it was my Fiancé’s birthday. Unfortunately I could not spend my Grandmother’s birthday with her as she lives in Belarus; however, I did call her to wish her a Happy Birthday and later we spoke on Skype as well. My Grandmother loves to cook a lot of food for special occasions and this was not an exception. As she told me, they (herself, my uncle and his wife) have made 11 different dishes…quite a lot for three people (not counting her 3 year old grandchild who eats little). But I have to admit; I do love and admire her enthusiasm for cooking real feasts on such festive days J

I, on the other hand, chose a simpler menu for my Fiancé’s birthday. I cooked Chicken Kiev stuffed with green onions and mushrooms, served with buckwheat and Mediterranean salad as a side dish. As dessert I bought a Tiramisu cake from Caffé Concerto. Those living in UK will know that that Patisserie is one of the best places to get exquisite and extremely delicious cakes. 

For this occasion I wore a simple yet elegant "Little Black Dress". Its length is just right; a harmonious balance between "not too long" and "not too short". The design and cut are simple with minimal decor. The lovely thing about it is the lace, which I really adore. I have accessorized my look with torquise pendant, bracelet and earrings and of course an engagement ring on my finger!!!

That's the Birthday Boy, looking happy with his presents. He wore simple and more casual outfit, grey shirt and black trousers. As a present I gave him an Italian ink pen, with 3 ink cartridges.  The coolest thing about the pen is that at the end of it, there is a 4GB USB stick. I thought this is very appropriate, since he is an IT specialist.

This is me with my twin sister. Somehow the red eyes from the camera give me a bit creepy look. Strangely enough, she did not get any red eyes; I have no idea why. Anyhow, she also chose to wear her own LBD, however, hers was sleeveless, tied at the waist and decorated with black flowers.

This is the box inside which was the delicious cake!!! They also put it in a lovely red and golden paper bag. 

Cheers everyone!!! Have a lovely week!!!
