valentine's day gifts
Come February and the theme is romance. Love is in air and Cupid must have struck your heart with his arrow too. But without your creative buds assisting him he is quite helpless. And for this quick fixation the golden rule is to keep it simple yet elegant: wear clothes that compliment your shape. Girls should have a feminine touch to their attire- avoid heels for a day-date instead go for ballet-flats- they are in vogue. A light pinkish glow will give you that ever-so-young look. Coming to colors of your dress opt for neutrals, violets, blacks, champagne or rose-tinted tones; a dirndl skirt and a classic clutch will do the magic too.
For Men for this special V-day you have to look neat for your lady. A smart shirt with dark blue-washed jeans donning great chronograph watch paired with great shoes is a definite win.

“…Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time….”
The Sun Rising.
By John Donne
Love is a miracle, love’s ecstasy, love’ the food that keeps us alive. Ironically, a single day has been dedicated to celebrate this most beautiful human emotion. Valentine’s Day is a traditional day when lovers express their passions to their beloveds. The legend of this date revolves around Saint Valentine who was martyred, back in the roman era. Factually the Christian priest he was persecuted and buried, by Emperor Claudius, for refusing to convert to roman paganism. Performing a miracle, he installed sight to the jailer’s daughter before he was executed. This story though has no reference to love or romance; there are more popular adaptations of the fable. The most popular, defines Valentine as priest who rebuffed Claudius’ law against marriage. He secretly performed weddings of the languished soldiers. Thus since then his martyrs day is celebrated as Valentine’s Day. The roman maidens believed that sleeping with bay leaves under the pillow on Valentine’s eve would get the vision of their future love in their dream.
Conventionally lovers gift flowers, cards and sweets as a gesture of love. The list goes beyond to perfumes, precious accessories and jewelry.A gift can be a true symbol of ones feelings.
