Valentine Day Looks.
With love being the flavour of the month, we had planned on a Valentine fashion shoot for February. Girl Next Door, Romantic and Sexy were the three decided upon looks for Valentine. The shoot took place at Saks Hair & Beauty Salon and their expert makeup, hair guidelines took us a great way long, and the shoot turned out to be amazing.
Moreover, the best part about these looks is that you can try them on for any special date with your beau; it may not necessarily be a V-date.
Girl Next Door look
This look is a very relaxed yet chic one. I decided upon playing it up with a floral print dress that is quite in this season.The fresh print and neutral hue of the dress gives a very girly appearance that exudes quite a daywear look. A chunky necklace and hair accessories do the trick of making it a perfect Valentine dress that any girl can ideally wear for a casual day date. Nude wedge pumps give the outfit an easy glamour.
