The Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2011 line is spilling over with stars (not the celebrity kind, but the celestial type). Gorgeous flowing star-printed chiffon gowns are unexpectedly teamed with mens dress shoes and purses strapped around the models’ waists. Heavenly classic black and white dresses and tops glitter with lace inserts, huge star earrings and animal print handbags.
Although I love the yellow halter gown, it’s the golden metallic mini dress ensemble that catches my eye most. Sparkle and shine is what this outfit is all about and the chain necklace dripping with multi-colored twinkling star cut-outs is magical.
