First Friday of February (how’s that for an alliteration) is upon us! How was everyone’s week? It seemed like I had something going on most nights after work, but I’m looking forward to a relaxing Friday night followed by a few things planned this weekend. Linking up with Amanda to share a few of my favorite things from the week!
Godfrey Hotel || One Year Anniversary
Godfrey Hotel || One Year Anniversary
Gary & I attended the Godrey Hotel’s one year anniversary party on Wednesday night. We had a fun night mingling with some of my favorite Boston Bloggers, including one of my good friends Tess! While I don’t normally bust out my metallic heels during the work week, this was a fun excuse – also getting a lot of wear, these burgundy velvet pants! We took some photos with TapSnap which is this fun photo booth type thing that has you step in front of a green screen & then once the photo is done you basically get to choose your background! You can have fun with it by adding a celebrities head over your’s or pretend like a dinosaur is getting ready to eat you –> random, but kind of hilarious!
Superbowl Apps
Superbowl Apps
With the Patriots playing in the Superbowl this Sunday – I’ll definitely be watching! Our neighbors are throwing a party & asked us to bring any app we’d like. The bacon wrapped kielbasa was a huge hit at my NYE party so I might make that or make something new like these baked buffalo cauliflower bites and buffalo chicken bites <– I think I’m craving something spicy!
Valentine’s Day Treat
Valentine’s Day Treat
Yesterday I got the sweetest delivery from Shari’s Berries complete with flowers & everything! Safe to say Gary is off the hook for Valentine’s Day or will have to come up with something that doesn’t involve dessert! Chocolate covered strawberries are my absolute favorite dessert – I’m calling it a success that I (and Gary) did not eat everything in one night & brought some in for co-workers to enjoy as well!
Photography Tips
Photography Tips
I love reading other blogger’s photography tips, especially for flat lay photos. They are the ones that I’m most drawn to on Instagram, but I have the hardest time taking them myself!! This was a great post on how to be spatially aware, working around shadows & when to add / when to take away from a photo.

I LOVE your metallic heels! Sounds like such a fun night out. Both those apps look delicious – happy Friday!
The burgundy velvet pants are my favorite!!! And I can't wait to make a menu for Sunday–we're rooting for the Falcons since it's the closest team to us haha

I am loving the velvet pants!!!! And Shari's berries are so good, I could go for some chocolate covered strawberries right about NOW!
That anniversary party sounded like so much fun! Super cute pic of you two there celebrating! Wishing you a relaxing and delicious Super Bowl weekend ahead, B! xo – Brenda // ChattingOverChocolate.com
Those strawberries! And those bites!! Yummmm…. happy weekending!
What a fun party y'all attended- and I adore those fun shoes! I'm really working on upping my photos on Instagram, so definitely checking out that post! Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday ! This buffalo Chicken bites looks yummy ! And Oh my goodness, those strawberries look great too. Enjoy your weekend !
That hotel floor is beautiful, and seriously, it's 6:30 a.m. and my mouth is watering looking at those delicious Valentine's Day treats! Have a great weekend, girl!
I was just looking at buffalo cauliflower yesterday and was thinking about making it this weekend. My husband hates cauliflower though so I would have to eat it all myself haha! I made similar buffalo chicken bites in Tuesday's post and they are SO good. I literally ate all of them haha! Have a great weekend, Biana!

I'm here for the food <— me + the Super Bowl, lol! I've always wanted to do those cauliflower bites, this might be the year! Have a great weekend, girl!
Ooooh definitely checking out this photography article too!! Those metallic heels and gorgeous burgundy pants scream party but still so classic! Happy Friday love!

Love the backdrop in the hotel photo! I was wondering how that looked so close up – I need look into this app for a future wedding I am helping with!
That event at The Godfrey looked like a blast! I LOVE those shoes with those metallic heels. So cute! And those buffalo chicken bites are definitely being pinned and made for the Super Bowl this weekend, yum! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
Those buffalo chicken bites look so good! I am all about the food on Super Bowl Sunday!
You're letting Gary off the hook too easy– V-day isn't for 2 weeks! 🙂 Those strawberries will be long gone by then! 🙂 Hope you have a wonderfully relaxing weekend! XOXO, R
Those apps look so good! And how good do those berries look? It is way too early to be this hungry and looking at all of this deliciousness lol!
Bring on all the super bowl food this weekend! Happy Friday, girl!
Haha, my hubs is not a Patriots fan at all, particularly Brady. So, he's rooting for the Falcons. The party sounds like so much fun and everything you're thinking of making sounds delish, so whatever you decide I know will be a hit. I just checked out the post you shared on flatlays and she shared some really great and helpful tips, thanks for passing the post along! I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead, beauty!
XO,

I wish I had gone to the Godfrey night so I could see you….but alas I was being a bum haha!! Next blogger event…we'll plan. 😉
Those Buffalo Chicken Bites look SO good! Hope you have a great weekend 🙂
I love you even own metallic heels. You are just the most stylish thing!
Those strawberries…. mmmmm….
I'm off to look at the flat lay tips – I'm not great with them either.
I was just thinking I need some ideas for a SuperBowl party, those Buff Chicken bites look drool worthy! So much fun with you and Gary Wednesday and all the little surprised 😉

The buffalo chicken bites look delicious and I was drooling over your IG last night with those treats – looks so delicious AND cute!
You are so lucky to have blogger events so close to you! I hate that there's nothing like that here. There are a few here in there in Atlanta that I would love to attend eventually, but it's so hard getting away with the littles!
The velvet pants and metallic shoes look so fab and chic together! Love your outfit for the party!
XoXo,

I have made those cauliflower bites before and trust, they are AMAZING! I love that metallic and velvet combo! Enjoy your weekend!
Yum!! Chocolate-covered strawberries are my favorite; those look amazing. Anything in puff pastry makes me happy, too, so those buffalo chicken bites sound perfect for the weekend. 😉 Enjoy the game!

I love those red velvet pants. So cute. And those berries look heavenly. I am very excited about the Super Bowl and all the amazing apps. Have a great weekend!
I'm making those buffalo chicken bites too! I'm a little confused, does the puff pastry just automatically curl up into that shape? I might just use wonton wrappers, in a cupcake tin…
Those berries look awesome!! The event at the hotel sounds like a lot of fun, and it's cool that you got to mingle with other bloggers. I haven't decided what snacks im making for the super bowl yet, some kind of dip for sure! Hope you have a great weekend!
I say that there's always a good reason to break out some fun shoes, but even more so if it's for a special occasion! I'm craving something wings related for Super Bowl too, and those cauliflower bites would be a perfect way to stay semi healthy too!
Ooh, I love the sound of the buffalo chicken bites! We are going to a Super Bowl party, and I have no idea what to make!
Flat lays are so hard! I just ordered a long marble drape thing that I can roll up and it gives way more surface area than my usual foam boards. I'm hoping that helps step up my game. That photo booth is so fun!
Loving your burgundy pants! The event looks fun. I need to check that article out. I am terrible at flat lay pictures!

I can't tell you enough how I love those burgundy pants and the metallic heels. Killer outfit for an evening event! OMG I need all the photography tips in the world even despite doing an online course! It's still something I struggle with so articles like that help shed some light.
Those buffalo chicken bites just made me hungry, lol. I need to try them!

Those shoes are seriously so fun. And those chocolate cover strawberries look so tasty. Hope you had a nice weekend Biana!
Thanks for including us in your post!! 🙂
The Godfrey Hotel party sounds fun. Love your shoes! I also love me some buffalo chicken dip! Chocolate covered strawberries are a must!
So… I never used to be a chocolate covered strawberries person… and I tried them on our anniversary trip last year… and I now I feel sad for all the times I never took advantage of them. These look PERFECT and delicious too! I can't believe how big they are!
I LOVE Shari's Berries! Last year we just bought some to eat ourselves, not really "for" each other, but man you can't beat the Valentine's sales. (;
