One Gold Dress To Rule Them All

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Balmain Fall 2010 Dress<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span></span></b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The movie<i> Lord of the Rings</i><i> </i>centers around a precious gold ring that all in Middle Earth were besotted with. The One ring allowed it's wearer to rule over all others. Everyone wanted a part of it's magic. This gold <i>Balmain</i> dress is a lot like that. It has a magnetic appeal that has enthralled fashion editors the world over, covering more than 10 magazines. The sparkly and sexy dress caught my eye today when I bought my copy of <i>Cleo</i> magazine, with Lea Michele glittering on the cover.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What is it about this 'It' dress that is so intoxicating? It has a wrap over design with deep v-neck and exaggerated shoulders. The gold beaded brocade draws you in with it's luminous charm and shimmering texture. It also photographs radiantly, the colour looking so different in each picture.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHF4K42MY-bAOoz3PEmU8vSKOVeJFRF7luCAyW74uNp0X5NxESZmS1UkCQRmrFl1teZG-Su8CbH4t_WodsIwQ8cttFZcUFhwMw26YHgq1UtS-Xyd-L0YSp3O2fs2rNf3g2CLOhftiMEUc/s1600/balmain+dress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHF4K42MY-bAOoz3PEmU8vSKOVeJFRF7luCAyW74uNp0X5NxESZmS1UkCQRmrFl1teZG-Su8CbH4t_WodsIwQ8cttFZcUFhwMw26YHgq1UtS-Xyd-L0YSp3O2fs2rNf3g2CLOhftiMEUc/s640/balmain+dress.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Top Row</span></b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Claudia Schiffer adorns the cover of Germany's <i>Zeit</i> Magazine.
