Last weekend was by far one of the most amazing weekends of 2012!  We took a very scenic road trip down south to Nellysford, VA (outside Charlottesville) to witness the marriage of two of our very special friends Mike and Anthony aka "Manthony" :)  It was a celebration of unity, happiness, and true acceptance and love.  Their wedding vows were some of the most romantic words we've ever heard and we were truly blessed to be there to witness their love.  It is easy to feel when two people make sense together -- Mike and Anthony are two of those people!  We thank them for making us part of this incredible two-day celebration filled with yummy food and wine, beautiful scenery, and amazing company!  We wish them a wonderful honey moon in Paris and can't wait to see their love and family grow.

On a similar subject and perfect timing (as much as we don't like to be political on the blog), we must commend President Obama for his support of same sex marriage -- job well done, we're proud of you Mr. President.  More on the story here.

Barn-Chic

Dress: Vintage
Shoes: Aldo
Ring: Forever21
First I was going to wear this adorable short dress, but after remembering that I had something even more "Barn Chic" (the theme of this past weekend's wedding), I chose this look instead. I love the back of this dress and the romantic pattern -- vintage dresses truly are a dream, aren't they?  When I found it at one of my favorite  thrift stores, I wasn't sure if this beautiful thing was going to fit me since the waist part is very small and back in the day they did not believe in "stretchy fabric", but it magically did and I was overly excited when I zipped it up lol.  To make it a little less dressy, I wore it with nothing but a statement white ring and low brown wedges ;)






Dress:  Ann Taylor
Shoes:  Zara
Earrings:  She's Unique
Ring:  Forever21
Ok so truthfully I never really wear girly, flirty, or lady-like dresses...especially the ones with a little "puff" in them -- never, BUT when I tried this one on just for fun while looking for something barn-chic, I fell in love.  Probably more so with the color combination and pattern than the cut, but either way, it made me feel very girly and cute and I just couldn't resist.  Should I embrace this more flirty side of Katya?? What do you all think? lol.  Anyway, I paired it up with my new nude Zara shoes (love that clear heel), and a few fun accessories to bring out that beautiful red color.  We hope this Barn-Chic trend takes off and thanks to our fabulous groomsmen Mike & Anthony aka "Manthony", it might just happen! ;)
