Hello everyone!

We have been planning a weekend trip to Islamabad for so long but husband wasn't getting a long weekend off. Luckily, it happened on the Blessed Friday weekend. There were so many discount offers going on different brands. I badly needed to do some shoe shopping which I don't prefer online.


Friday was a bit lazy, we spent it at home. Next day, after breakfast we got ready and left for Islamabad. Before hitting the highway, we paid a quick visit to the hospital as my elder son's Measles vaccine dose was due. He's so afraid of needles. For a week, I slowly made up his mind to get it. We made a deal that if he gets an injection then I will get him a Remote Controlled Car. He tried a lot not to cry when the needle was injected but couldn't stop. But I'm totally impressed that he agreed considering his history. After the hospital, we went straight to the market and got him the car which wiped all his sorrow. Haha


The journey to Islamabad went quite smoothly and we reached our hotel in less than 2 hours. After getting fresh, we headed towards the Centaurus Mall as it was quite near to our place. We didn't have anything for lunch so we went straight to the food court and ordered food at Wild Wings. I ordered loaded fries and Caesar Salad. I know, what a combination. Haha

Food was very delicious, especially the fries. After that husband took the kids to Fun City and I started the shoe-hunt. The mall was extremely crowded because of the crazy discount offers. I explored two floors but didn't find anything that I liked. I was so tired and empty handed when my husband and kids joined me. I gave a last chance to another shop and fortunately managed to get out of the shop in ten minutes with two pairs of shoes in my hands. I am this quick when I actually like something.

We came back to our room and ordered tea from the room service. After that we were so tired and went to sleep.



The next morning, we had English breakfast from a Café Barbera as it was in the vicinity. It was really good that's why I forgot to take the pictures - I wolfed it down in minutes.


Then it was time for another shopping trial. Husband took the kids with him and went grocery shopping and gave me the opportunity to continue my shoe-hunt freely. God bless him. (I had given away all my winter shoes to my house-help last year and didn't buy anything new. That's the reason I bought so many shoes.)

I decided to search the two remaining floors of the mall. I saw a Flat 50% off sign outside Aldo and went straight inside and found a decent pair of basic black heels. A happy me came outside of the shop as I had completed the shoe-shopping successfully.

Later, I bought some shirts from Nishat Linen and a lip crayon from Makeup City. Then I joined the family in the food court and we again had those loaded fries.

We came back to our room in the evening. We were supposed to stay the night but due to little situation back home we hit the road again and came back to our home.


Hope you didn't get bored,

Yeah you are absolutely right... If something we like, that's a matter of seconds to buy .. otherwise it took hours to purchase something or just come out empty handed.

Yeah, I do that. In one quick round of a shop, I know I am going to buy something from here or not. If not then I just leave in a minute. If yes then i buy and leave in a minute. 😂

No doubt trips provides us with pleasure 😍💖
