Hello, hello friends! If you’re one of the lucky ones to have an extra day off, I’m a bit jealous!! Between this weekend’s wedding fun & all the baby snuggles we got while visiting our friends – I think I’ll have enough fun memories to make it through Monday!
Gary & I decided to meet after work and change up our little Friday night routine! We checked out Buttermilk & Bourbon – a New Orleans style tapas restaurant! I haven’t been wowed by a restaurant in a while and the food here was so delicious! Each room has a different New Orleans theme and they even have an extra room in the back called the voodoo lounge! We decided to get a few things to leave room for the beignets – best decision I made all week!
Gouda Mac & Cheese – yes just as delicious as it sounds! Fried pickles are always a must for me!
The fried chicken thighs were actually “Nashville Style,” but whatever style they were- they were incredible!
Hands down best part were these melt in your mouth delicious beignets!
Gary’s cousin was married this Saturday and gave us the best excuse to put our fancy clothes on! With his family being all over the east coast, we rarely get to see everyone, so it was so it was fun to laugh, dance & enjoy the few hours together! I think the last time we were all together was at our wedding four years ago! Also, those gene’s run deep in Gary’s family – everyone looks alike π
Our friend had the most perfect little boy a few weeks ago and we couldn’t wait to get our baby snuggles in!! Such a sweet little guy & can I just say – heart explodes seeing Gary holding that little nugget π
I can’t say that fall has arrived at all here in New England because it’s been so warm – but that hasn’t stopped me from wearing all the fall colors!! I scooped up this beltI’ve had my eye on for a couple months! I’ve wanted the gucci GG belt for a while, but I don’t wear belt’s that often so when I spotted this one& it was finally on sale – I went for it! It’s also reversible, tso you are getting a pretty great return on investment with two colors!
Hope you have a great start to the week! Link up below to share your weekends with us!

Yeah I think any future children you all have are going to look like Gary! His cousin could be his sister, easy! That food is making me drool and it's only 5 am!! Holy yum!!
Aww, yep what a sweet baby and Gary looks like a natural! LOVED the red dress you wore to the wedding….stunning!! Looks like a great weekend and the oh and bride looked stunning too. Happy Monday gorgeous!
What a fun weekend! You look gorgeous in that red dress, Biana! Definitely your color! That's too funny about Gary's family genes — before I even read it I was thinking, wow they look like they could be siblings! Happy Monday!

That's so nice you were able to attend a wedding as a guest instead of work it!! Especially a family wedding – those are my favorites for the exact reason you had so much fun – it's nice for everyone to be together and have a good time! Hope you have a great Monday!
What a fun weekend! Weddings, babies and beignets! I love that reversible belt, how cute and practical!

ok that last photo – love that outfit! i mean you always look cute but i'm just saying π good alternative to the GG belt too. which i have wanted but cannot justify as i just don't wear belts that often! buttermilk and bourbon – i can't – that place looks amazing. and i always go for the fried pickles too!

That mac and cheese looks incredible. If the food at that restaurant is anything like the restaurants in NOLA, you both were def. in heaven. I want those beignets!
Looks like a great weekend.
You look absolutely stunning at the wedding in that red dress! Love love love! BABY!!!! Baby snuggles are just the best. It is so amazing seeing our guys hold these tiny little humans, right??? I love your fall outfit. It has been in the 80s and humid here again and I just…..I want to wear my sweaters so bad!!! I just cant handle it yet. UGH! OMG that mac and cheese. Why do I have sad soup for lunch??? Hope you have a fabulous Monday!
That mac & cheese??? I'd tell them to just keep bringing me bowls of that.
I LOVEEEE that wedding dress. I am such a fan of dresses with sleeves. You rarely see that & I think its so elegant.
Aw, the baby is so cute! I love snuggling with the little ones. I have two friends that are pregnant now, so yay for babies! π I'm glad the wedding was fun too! Sounds like a great weekend.

It sounds like you had such a great weekend, girlie! Congrats to Gary's cousin for tying the knot and I know it must have been great to see everyone again after so long. As for that restaurant, the food looks AH-MAZING! I've never had beignets before, I know, crazy! So, you have me all the more eager to try.

We have a local restaurant that makes Gouda Mac & Cheese and it is seriously the best thing ever. You guys always have so much fun! And may I say that Gary looks really great holding a tiny baby. Brian never held babies before we had ours so he was always pretty awkward around them before we had Jacob. Haha.
That restaurant sounds and looks good! I really wish it wasn't as warm lol I want the fall weather!
What a fun weekend- and how yummy does all that food look? It's too close to lunch and I'm drooling!
