Rocking the Star Print

Hello Loviesssss,


I know I'm blogging about this fashion trend a little late but i had to wait until i finished making my skirt so i could have pictures to put up. And trust me, between my day job & my sewing machine.....lol it took a while to have ready.


To be honest, when i saw the star print in Dolce & Gabbana's new collection i thought it might take a while to grow on me but almost immediately, a light bulb lit in my head and i remembered a fabric (Its called Hollandis- looks like the Ankara print) my mummy dearest gave me. 


There and then, i started thinking of how i could jazz the fabric up so it looks trendy. After all it has stars on it too :-) and everyone is so star obsessed. So i sat on my sewing machine and I'm totally happy and in love with my new skirt.


It might not be one of the D & G dresses :-) but its my mummy's fabric with a trendy twist. 


Out with the old, in with the new. What do you think? The buttons i sewed on, was a last minute addition...lol. Also i'm thinking of making the skirt shorter :-)


xoxo.






                 Ok, couldn't resist putting up this pic... Hot Hot Hot!!!!!

  4. Hi stylefash25 does this fabric still exist? I know its one of those vintage & good quality fabrics. I want it so badly. Any idea where i can get it? Like the first person said, i would never have thought of this fabric in comparison with the recent star trend. Anyway, thats why you are the style consultant :) Btwn, maybe the international scene even got their star trend inspiration from this humble fabric. LOOOL. You never know. Well done, hooked on your blog.
