19th Day of Xmas: All I Want for Christmas Is Something Russian

Russia. The country that brought us the Ballet Russo, caviar, and Kandinsky. Plus one of the greatest creations in human history.

No, I don't mean War and Peace. I'm talking vodka, people!

And when it comes to warm winter style, the Russians are notorious for getting it right with dark, social realist colors, richly hued makeup, oversized furs, and winter boots that are as functional as they are chic.

I'm calling my new Russia obsession the "Doctor Zhivago effect." So go ahead, channel the opulent spirit of the czars and indulge in a little Russian romance.
