During the shopping trip, she also purchased the Voom Denim Pinstripe Babydoll, which is equally as cute but more professional.

But at the moment, it's the Voom Chic Dress that is the star. The black mini cocktail dress puts a different spin on asymmetry, which is one of the hottest trends of the moment.

It has two bows on one shoulder, attaching it to the rest of the dress. The draping across the bust is also an eye catching detail. And the hem of dress hits a few inches above the knee.

Mercedes-Benz to Gun for BMW’s X6 with New GLS

It seems that 2014 is going to be a good year for SUV fans: after the news on Audi’s Q4,Mercedes-Benz is also reportedly planning to release another crossover, according to Autocar. However, this one will be more up-market and will have BMW’s X6 (and Audi's Q6, which is expected in 2016) squarely in its sights.
An obvious movement since the controversially styled SUV from BMW has sold more than 120,000 since its launch in 2009. Like its archrival from Munich, Mercedes’s sporty SUV will be a four-seater with a sporty design.
The new model will probably be named GLS and will be based on the new M-Class, sharing its platform and most of its engineering, including the four-wheel drive system. However, it will differentiate itself with more aggressive styling, taking cues from Mercedes’ four-door sedan, the CLS.
Nothing is yet known about the engines, but expect the usual range of gasoline and diesel units, as well as a hybrid, with the top version being powered by a turbocharged 5.5-litre V8 fettled, predictably, by AMG to provide a challenge to the X6 M.
The GLS will most likely be manufactured alongside the M-Class in Mercedes-Benz’s US factory in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Audi A1 Production Reaches 100,000 Units in its First Year

The Audi A1 premium supermini is proving to be a flying success for the brand with the four rings. Just after a year from launch and without the car being sold in the all-important North American market, the 100,000th A1 rolled off the assembly line at Audi’s plant in the Forest district of Brussels in Belgium.

To mark the occasion, Audi invited King Albert II of Belgium to visit the facility with the German firm’s boss Rupert Stadler taking on the role of the tour guide.

“We are very honored that the King of Belgium has taken such a great interest in Audi and that he has visited our plant,” said Rupert Stadler. “The Forest site has been part of the Audi family – and the Company’s success story – for four years now. With the Audi A1, Audi Brussels is making a major contribution to the dynamic growth of our brand.”

Audi acquired the Brussels plant from VW in 2007 and has since poured roughly €300 million to bring it up to date.

It is believed that Audi’s future plans for the A1 include the presentation of all-wheel drive Quattro model(s) and more sportier editions such as the S1.

Motor Industry Says: Today’s Cars Are Nigh Impossible to Steal

In the UK, car theft is down by more than 60% over the last seven years thanks to improvements in anti-theft technology. Coded car keys, alarms, immobilisers, better locks, strengthened glass and built-in tracking devices have made the modern automobile virtually impossible to steal.
Some 80% of car thefts now require would-be thieves to steal the owner’s keys or otherwise load their targets onto trailers for transport. And even then, tracking systems in some high-end cars mean these cars are recovered rather quickly.
Andrew Miller, the Director of the sinisterly named Thatcham car insurance repair research centre, told the BBC:
"[The motor industry is] doing everything possible to crack down on car crime. Now it is the motorist's responsibility to drive down vehicle theft figures."
Car thefts topped 600,000 a year in 1991, though now are down to a far more reasonable 107,000 a decade later. A vast majority of the cars stolen in the UK this year were over three years old.
The 2011 British Insurance Vehicle Security Awards recognised Volkswagen and Vauxhall UK for their cars and vans respectively, and special honours were given to the Audi A1, the Volvo C30 and the Citroen C5 Exclusive.
