Need a soundstrack to your Valentine’s day? Well we’ve got one for ya, with a little help from our friends!
We asked Fashion Forward girls Saira, Shahi and Saadia to send us their favorite V-day songs!
Saira
Etta James - At Last
This song always make me smile, it is so romantic and may well be my wedding song (only thing left on the checklist is a groom LOLS!)
Anita Baker - Sweet Love
This song reminds me of the school disco – where I would be slow dancing under the glitterball with my latest boy crush – sweet memories ( I miss school discos !!)
Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On
Well I think this is self explanatory – play the track on valentines day, and well ….. do as Marvin says… !!!!!

Des'ree - Kissing you
I love Baz Lurhman’s version of Romeo and Juliet and whats more romantic than forbidden love ?
Lauren Wood - Fallen
This was my best friend’s sister’s wedding song and it just reminds me of such a beautiful love filled moment. It’s such an under-utilized song. I should listen to it more!
Masters At Work (MAW) featuring India - To be in Love
This is my ULTIMATE cruising song. Saadia and I would listen to it on repeat while we drove around Dubai. It’s still one of my all time favorite dance tracks

Michael Jackson - I can't help it
My Teens: When i first discovered Michael as a kid, I only appreciated the more dancy tunes – clearly cause my love hormones hadn’t kicked in. Once the crushes began in my teens, this became my crush day dream anthem!
The Cure: Lovesong
My Twenties: My angsty, romantic 20 something year old go-to car tune. My go to song for any crush obsession I had at the time.
Young Hearts Run Free - Kym Mazelle
My Thirties: Since the angst and day dreaming days are over, this tune rediscovered is how I feel about love these days. Discovered when Romeo and Juliet by Baz Luhrmann was released (not surprised Shahi and i both refer to this movie, since we are so same same but different). Although I love the original by Candi Staton rocks, the dancier version is definitely more me right now.
For our joint song – we are going with:
Justin Timberlake - Sexy Back
We love it because it reminds us of going to his concert together years ago in Abu Dhabi, we rented a stretch hummer and pumped this song in the car all the way there. The best kind of love is dancing to your favorite tunes with your best friends!
Awwwww! :)
So, you might ask, what’s our favorite (or should we say s
