go shopping every chance I get or I will lose it. My mind I mean. Last week I
went to Yorkdale Mall and went a tad bit crazy with my wallet. I went to the
mall with little knowledge of what I was going to buy, needless to say I love
everything I bought.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Adobe Kaiti Std R","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Iskoola Pota";">The first thing I did was bought <a href="http://www.katespade.com/putting-on-the-ritz-stud-earrings/WBRU3901,en_US,pd.html?dwvar_WBRU3901_color=921#start=54&cgid=ks-jewelry-earrings">these</a>
beautiful earrings by Kate Spade. They are exquisite and sophisticated. They
sparkle charmingly in the light, and make me feel expensive. While I was at the
counter paying for my purchase, I laid my eyes on <a href="http://www.katespade.com/mikas-pond-holly/PWRU2952,en_US,pd.html?dwvar_PWRU2952_color=001#start=34&cgid=ks-accessories-wallets">this</a>

<span style="font-family: "Adobe Kaiti Std R","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Iskoola Pota";">I then strutted off to Juicy Couture where
I bought a <a href="http://www.juicycouture.com/pave-heart-%26-toggle-luxe-bracelet/YJRU6620.html?dwvar_YJRU6620_color=710">charm
bracelet</a> and a 2013 graduation charm. For two years I had debated on
whether I should buy this bracelet but I told myself it was about time to get. The
bracelet is sitting perfectly on my wrist while I type this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the day; my very first Burberry purchase. I was really excited to go into Burberry,
I felt like a little girl in a candy shop. My purchase was <a href="http://ca.burberry.com/store/womens-accessories/scarves/blends/prod-37432321-check-wool-silk-scarf/">this</a>
classic wool silk scarf. Aah my very first high end scarf.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh the bliss. I feel powerful when wearing

comfy Wildfox jumper in pink and Jo Malone vanilla anise <a href="http://www.jomalone.com/templates/products/sp_nonshaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY6542&PRODUCT_ID=PROD15309">perfume</a>

You get to explore new places you never knew existed. Today I went on a little
adventure to eslieville, to try some infamous macaron and cupcakes from
Bobbette and Belle. It is a small shop in a quiet neighbourhood near
Pape Station. From outside the wedding cake shop looks like a
Parisian café, with cute black chairs and tables sitting outside
waiting for customers to people watch whilst munching on a cupcake
and sipping coffee. The inside of the bakery is adorable, it looks like a
living room decorated by a professional. The seating is arranged in a way for
customers to ooh and aah at the beautifully decorated wedding cakes.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Iskoola Pota","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Iskoola Pota', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The macaron and cupcakes were delicious. It made me
want to eat more, but I don’t think my scale would appreciate it. I am so glad
I took the time to go to a place that was out of my way. I explored an old
neighbourhood and got to eat some delicious treats. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Iskoola Pota', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">This
afternoon I had the most wonderful dessert, and I felt as if I was at a bakery
in Paris. It was French Macarons from Bobbette and Belles. The colorful
Macarons were scrumptious. C'est Magnifique. The outer shell was light and
crispy and the buttercream was smooth and decadent. With a cup of coffee the Macarons
were to die for. I felt like a Parisian girl off on her bike to buy baguette, cheese
and vegetables at the market for dinner. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Paris has always inspired me, although
I’ve never been there; the lifestyle and the idea of standing under the Eiffel
tower, eating Macarons from Ladu</span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">ré</span></span><span style="font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">e, walking in the parks with your
love, shopping in expensive boutiques and cruising along the Seine has always
intrigued me. I want to sit outside a little café in Paris, eating Macarons, drinking
sweet French coffee and breathing in the air while local Parisians walk by with
their daily lives. My goal in Paris is to kiss my husband (haven’t found him
yet, just looking around) under the Eiffel Tower in the night time. Ooh La La. The
Eiffel Tower looks magnificent in the night; it is lit up from top to bottom.
It looks so romantic. I want to immerse myself in a tiny bookstore; smell the
old book and read until my hearts content. I want to buy expensive perfume and
clothes from Chanel, Valentino, Prada, etc. so that when my friends ask where I
got a certain item from I can say “from Paris of course”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I especially want a snow globe of the Eiffel
Tower that can remind me of my time there. I hope that one day I can actually go
to Paris and live up to my dream. A magical month in Paris!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ones. I like simple nails like french tips, they are classic and look good

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">This is my everyday makeup routine. I wear this during the day when I’m out and about. I love watching tutorials and reading blogs on everyday makeup routines because I can get an idea on what new foundations I can try, or see something new that I can try, and simply because I’m nosey. Before I begin I want to start off by saying that I wear a very light coverage foundation during the day because I don’t want to look cakey and I want my face to feel light and airy. I want to look as if I have no foundation on my face; I want it to look as if it is my second skin. I have been wearing the fairly new Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation. This foundation is not for those who want full coverage; this foundation is very light and evens out my skin tone. Most people don’t realize I’m even wearing foundation when I have it on. It gives my skin this radiant glow making my skin look fresh and healthy. I love it.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"><u1:p></u1:p></span></span></div>

I put on my Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation in the colour 30 Beige. I use my finger

and it gets so embarrassing especially the fact that people know that I’m

wearing foundation. My friends compliment me on my skin rather than my
foundation. This is the best deceiver.</span></h1>

<span style="font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">As you all know from my previous post that I
want to go to the Windsor Arms Hotel in Toronto for some afternoon tea. These
are some outfits that I have drawn from various websites to help me and you (of
course) to decide on what to wear. These outfits might be too much for some
people, but I like to play the part of an English lady out for afternoon tea.
Most people would opt to wear jeans and a dress shirt but I’d like to go all
out by wearing the perfect pastel dress with a 1960’s hairdo, some diamond earrings
and a pearl necklace.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

modern day wear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I
am the type of person who loves to be classy; I absolutely adore doing fancy
and classy things. For years I have been thinking of going for high tea at the
Windsor Arms Hotel in Toronto. Sipping tea while eating a scone seems so
sophisticated and chic. I would love to dress up in something elegant and take
my friends out for some high tea. I want to own my own tea set and invite my
friends over for some afternoon tea. I would feel like a British lady holding
her cup of tea adorned in a floral print with one pinky in the air while
gossiping up the latest news with a group of close friends. I would wear a pastel
or daring 1950’s type of dress, something with a little panache. My ears and
neck jewelled with pearls and diamonds while my feet stapled to 5 inch heels. Things
like this have always fascinated me, and I have always dreamed of doing this.
Hopefully in the near future I will be able to do it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The
Windsor Arms Hotel seems like a high class place where only the rich, dine. With
their exquisite French-style tea room who wouldn’t want to have afternoon tea?
Sitting on soft comfy chairs while nibbling on petite sandwiches and tasty
selections of English style pastries seems very posh. I’ve always wanted to do
something like this… something picturesque. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Have
you ever regretted buying things… over and over again? Well, I have. Over these
past few years I started working part-time and earned quite a big sum of money.
Unfortunately my bank account will never vouch for it because it’s empty. Why?
You say. Well, it’s because I’m a shopaholic. I hate to admit it. But I am. I
buy things just for the thrill. Once, I get going I never stop. Silly me. I
need serious help. I usually get an urge to spend my money. I think “Oh, I’ve
got lots of money in my account, I deserve to spend it.” When I’m on my way
home it hits me, I realize I’ve spent too much money. I have this whole
conversation in my head about how I need to control myself in the future.
Sadly, it never works and I repeat the same conversation with myself. Shopping
is like a drug to me, I can’t function without spending money. </span></b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

feel like Rebecca Bloomwood from the <i>Shopaholic</i> series written
by Sophie Kinsella, who struggles with paying off credit card bills.
I should freeze my credit card in a huge ice cube like she did but I’m afraid
it might damage the chip. Oh, what will I do with myself? I feel sorry for my
future husband, he will need to work day and night to pay off my spending
habits. But that’s alright, I’m sure he’ll do whatever it takes to keep me
happy. ;)</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">OK, I have a confession to make. I love
baking, and its my passion. I know you all already know that, but what you
don't know is that I have never made an actual edible cake or cupcake
in my life (I can bake other goodies but never cakes). They all turn
out beautiful (decorated, well actually camouflaged with yummy icing
and edible pearls) but once you take a big chunky bite out of it you might
actually get sent to the ER. I am seriously not joking. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Yesterday, I bought home Duncan
Hines White Cake Mix in the hopes of finally baking an edible batch of cupcakes
I carefully followed the instructions but substituted and added some other
ingredients to bake fluffy and moist vanilla cupcakes. To the Mix I added 4
beaten eggs, 1 1/3 cup of milk instead of water, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
and about the same amount of butter. I made the batter nervously and popped it
in the oven. I took them out in 21 minutes. The box said 21-24 minutes but mine
cooked faster. I let them cool and finally took a bite out of the decadent
cupcakes. It was a miracle. I finally made cupcakes. Thrilled, I took some
icing and iced two toned rosettes on each of the cupcakes and gave
them to my family. They loved it and were so proud of me. It was
a success!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">If you would like to know how to make
two toned icing- simply take a food colour of your choice and thoroughly coat
the inside of your piping bag. You may use a brush or you can use a spoon (like
I did). Then start adding your white butter cream. Once you are done make sure
to squeeze the buttercream out to see if its coming out two toned. Two - toned
buttercream is best used to make rosettes. </span></div>

<h3>
<b><span style="font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">What
is it with atmosphere in Starbucks? I feel like making it my second home.</span></b></h3>
<h3>
<b style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I went to my nearest
Chapters Indigo the other day and purchased a bunch of murder mystery books. I
love reading mysteries and getting shocked when I figure out who the killer is.
I often choose to read these types of books in the colder months so I can cozy
up on my couch with a blanket and a warm cup of hot cocoa and read until I get
drowsy. </span></b></h3>
<h3>
<b style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Anyways, back to Starbucks…..</span></b></h3>
<h3>
<b><span style="font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">As
we all know in every Chapters bookstore there is always a Starbucks. I went in
after purchasing my books and got myself my favourite holiday drink- Peppermint
Mocha. I looked for a spot in the corner of the store and made it my territory.
I took out my book and started reading in the dim lit room, drowning out the
sound of the people talking on their cellphones and the typing noise of social
networking obsessed people. I sat in that store for literally five hours
reading and consuming coffee. I felt at peace in Starbucks. I am honestly
making more trips to Starbucks just to relax and feel at ease. I have no idea
what is wrong with me, but I love that place.</span></b></h3>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<b><span style="font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: CordiaUPC;">Hello Everyone,</span></b><b><span style="font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: CordiaUPC;">Today is the start of my very first blog, and I
am really excited. I can't wait to document all my thoughts, and feelings. I
hope I will continue to write until and when I start my own family (no I am not
married (yet), but I hope to be someday). Anyways, I would like to start off by
introducing myself. My name is Iqra Ahmad and I am 22 years old. Let me stop
you there for a moment. A lot of people get shocked when I tell them I am 22.
They don’t believe me. They think I am a teenager. I hate it when they tell me
I look like a kid, but at times I am glad they think I look younger because
once I turn 30 , I won’t look it. Yay,
for me. I am currently a University student majoring in English and Geography
and aspire to be a teacher. I love to write and read. (boy, do I love to read).
I have started my own diary and love
writing in it, but it has turned more into a scrapbook than a diary. So, now I have
decided to use this as my diary.</span></b></h3>
<h3>
<b><span style="font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: CordiaUPC;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: CordiaUPC;">If you met my friends they will tell you that I
am a sophisticated type of person, or at least I try to be one. I am the type
of person who loves to wear heels all the time (even in the house). To me it
spells sophistication. I love wearing pearls and lace dresses, I love pastels
and sometimes daring reds and black. One of my most known hobbies (other than reading
and writing) is baking. I am a passionate baker. I bake whenever I can, and
when I’m not baking I’m watching baking videos on youtube.</span></b></h3>
<h3>
<b><span style="font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: CordiaUPC;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: CordiaUPC;">I am just so excited for this blog, I have been
reading peoples blogs for years and they have become wonderful mommies to the
cutest babies. I hope one day my blog will turn out like theirs - full of
adventures, laughter and happiness. </span></b></h3>
