The Triumph Dolomite was a car that first appeared in 1934 as a sports car and reused on a series of sporting saloons and open cars until at least 1939 when the Triumph Motor Company went into receivership. A number were still sold and registered in 1940, though it is uncertain whether the receiver or new owner turned out cars from spare parts, or sold off completed cars. All except the Straight 8 featured a "waterfall" grille styled by Walter Belgrove, versions of the saloons with conventional grilles were sold as Continental models.
Fashion Hairstyle Fall-Winter 2010-2011. Photos.
Fashion-conscious women were twisting and plaiting their hair. Today a ponytail is the trendiest hairdo of this season.
The ponytail was consummated at Louis Vuitton fashion show. Stylist Michael Kors made the hairdo more volumetric and textural with backcombing. It is the best hairstyle for windy weather. Preen refused of common scrunchies fastening the ponytails with complicated knots. We see an example of minimalism at Stella McCartney's fashion show.

Happy Thanksgiving
Shouldn't you be eating turkey with the family?
Shouldn't you be preparing for Black Friday?
I can't believe you're here. I guess I should feel honored that you decided to spend this small part of this Holiday with me. I am, thank you very much to each and every one. I am especially thankful for the many kind readers who called me when I was in the hospital and rehab. It was a long 15 months, and your calls made it tolerable. I ever you find yourself in the same situation (hopefully never) I'll do my best to return your kindness.
Enjoy the Holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE holiday! I love hanging with my family and pigging out. :) I also love the excuse to be cheesy and say what I'm thankful for. Not that I really need one...
I'm thankful that I don't have shoes that remind me of a turkey. Sorry Givenchy, you got it all wrong.
Or these scary beasts...
I am thankful for shoes that use feathers tastefully. Like these by L.A.M.B.
But more than that, I'm thankful for my health, my AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING husband, my family and friends (including all of you of course!) and my cutie little puppies that are trying really hard to reach the turkey on the counter top. Not gonna happen guys.
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Triumph Classic Cars Parts 3
Introduced in 1932, the Southern Cross was Triumph's Sports vehicle with a primary export market in both Australia and New Zealand during the pre-war years. Even today, prewar Triumph's Cars are found more often ‘down under' than any other location outside of the U.K. Named after a constellation that was visible only in the southern hemisphere, the Southern Cross was produced until 1937.
Featuring two-seat roadster bodywork, the 1935-1937 Southern Cross came with twin spares on the rear, and had a classic slab gas tank. Though wider and appearing larger, the four cylinder vehicles have a profile and length quite similar to a T series MG. The very unique six-cylinder vehicles were stretched 9' between the radiator and the firewall which attributed to the sweeping body lines. The models were designed and styled by Walter Belgrove, the only true carryover into the post-war era.
The name was broken down and abbreviated to 'SX' on the body ID plates and was featured as a sports version of the Triumph Super Nine. A four seat sports tourer, the SX could be driven with a tonneau over the rear seats. The SX was the basis of Triumph's original works competition vehicles at the Alpine Trials and the Monte Carlo Rally of 1934.
In comparison to other compact sport vehicles, the Southern Cross was quite popular and excelled magnificently in rallies and trials where strength won out over the lighter and more fragile vehicles. This would become the standard of Triumph's success later on in history. Largely due the results of the Southern Crosses agility on the race course, CEO John Black later acquired Triumph Cars for the sporting reputation it brought.

Lanvin ♥ H&M
Tomorrow!!! It's finally here tomorrow. Who else is excited!!??

Former collabs include Stella McCartney in 2005, Roberto Cavalli in 2007, Comme de Garcons in 2008, last year's collaboration with Matthew Williamson. They also did a shoe line by Jimmy Choo that brought insane crowds and overnight campers. Or crazies as I like to call them.

Amazing, right??? These dresses are SO Lanvin but at a price we can afford! Well, sort of. They're still a little pricy but compared to the designer line, they're a bargain.
This top is so cute! I mean, it's all about the shoes!
Here's a better picture of the red dress I love
I can't get over how much these shoes look like their designer line shoes!
This yellow dress is classic Lanvin!
Such an adorable print/color combo
Are any of you crazy enough to camp out tonight??? I know my friends at Miu Miu are planning to sleep in the store and then go to the H&M store at the butt crack of dawn to get in line.
Good luck!!

A popular vehicle that was made by Triumph Motor Company in Coventry, England the Triumph Gloria was produced from 1933 until 1938. The Triumph Gloria was available in a very large and quite confusing range of Triumph Gloria sporting salons, tourers, coupes, drophead coupes, 2-seater sports vehicle and golfer's coupes.
A short chassis sports vehicle, the Triumph Gloria Southern Cross which was also a 'SX' was available in a variety of tourer and saloon bodies that were equipped with either four or six-cylinder engine. Quite a modern vehicle mechanically, the Triumph Gloria SX featured Lockheed hydraulic drum brakes, Luvax adjustable shocks that could be adjusted via a knob between the seats, and a 12 volt electrical system. Power was found from the Climax 4-cylinder engine which was now upgraded to 1232 cc alternatively. In 1935 only a 6 cylinder 1476 cc engine was available too.
Picture Of
All of these Triumph Gloria models, except for the final two models; 1.5 liter Saloon and Fourteen Six-Light Saloon, were powered by 1087 or 1232 cc four cylinder or 1467 or 1991 cc six cylinder Coventry Climax overhead inlet and side exhaust valve designed engines. Two different length chassis were available for the Triumph Gloria, with an additional 8 inches ahead of the passenger compartment depending on whether the four or six cylinder engine was fitted. The chassis also had conventional non-independent suspension with semi elliptic leaf springs. The brakes inside the Triumph Gloria were hydraulically operated by utilizing the Lockheed system large 12 inch drums. Allowing for 'clutchless' gear changing, a four-speed transmission was fitted with an optional free wheel mechanism. On the final Fourteen and 1.5 liter models were fitted with synchromesh.
From 1934 until 1936 the Triumph Gloria range expanded to include Triumph Gloria Vitesse models which were up-rated with twin carb engine and equipment, versions of the standard Triumph Gloria but with slightly different bodywork in the case of a few saloons. In 2008, Lansdowne Models introduced a die-cast model of the 1935/6 Triumph Gloria Vitesse Sports Saloon.
The 4-cylinder engine could be ordered with the 'Vitesse' option which meant polished ports, a sharper cam, and double SU carbs. Top speed was set around 120 kph for the 4-cylinder and around 130 kph for the 6-cylinder model. The Triumph Gloria SX was entered again into the Monte Carlo rally in 1936 and achieved second place in the light cars class. In the ladies cup, another Triumph Gloria SX took third place.
The Triumph Gloria Southern Cross was extremely effective in achieving the popularity of the later Triumph roadsters based on its pre-war success in competition.

Elephant Legs
I love high waisted super wide leg jeans and am always glad when I feel like they are fashion appropriate. Why? Well, cause honestly they make my legs look longer and therefore skinnier ;)
The only downfall to them is that they totally hide your shoes... Hi shoes! I still love you.
And what great shoes they are! I love them. The bows are actually raw edge snake tied into a bow. Very cool. Plus I love the stitch detail on the platform...
(pants- Dittos, tank and cashmere sweater- J Crew, bag- YSL, glasses- Norma Kamali, shoes- Prada)
What do you guys think? I know these types of jeans can sometimes go into mom jean territory a la Jessica Simpson... haha

In the Thirties - which enjoyed a great era of motor sports just before World War II - Triumph cars introduced half a dozen different models called 'Triumph cars Gloria Southern Cross', between 1932 and 1935.
The name was in tribute to Triumph's success in the Australia and New Zealand export markets, where they had been winning trials since 1929 and where their 'stars' were certainly favorable.
Picture Of
The best remembered Southern Cross is the 1934-1935 series which was offered as a two-seater sports car, which either 4-cylinder single carburetor or with the 6-cylinder twin carburetor engine (2-liter) option. The latter produced 100 bhp and in street trim could do 90 mph.
This particular car was taken to the USA by Rover Triumph Cars in 1973 to celebrate Triumph's 50 years. It was shown in the New York Auto Show at which it was much photographed along with Donald Healey and it was also shown at the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit. The Southern Cross was popular for rallying and competition work in the thirties and the earlier model did especially well in the 1934/35 Monte Carlo and Alpine Rallies.
Picture Of
On display at the NY Auto Show was the 4-cylinder version, complete with Rudge-Whitworth 'knock-off' wire wheels. Although somewhat 'boxy' in appearance, the Four was a very useful Triumph cars in the long distance reliability trials such as the London to Lands End and the London to Edinburgh. Two spare wheels were provided for 'competition' tires (equivalent to modern snow tires) used on the cross-country, trials hill routes and are mounted behind the exposed fuel tank. Other equipment includes fold-down windshield with aero screens, and large diameter speedometer with rev. counter.
The four-cylinder engine with overhead inlet and side exhaust valves, has a capacity of 75.15 cubic-inches 92.59 by 3.45 in bore/stroke), driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox, with freewheel.
The Triumph Gloria Southern Cross roadster was quite a hit at the New York International Automobile Show. Fresh from a display at the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, it arrived at the New York Coliseum just in time for photos with Patrick McNee, famous for his role in 'The Avengers' on TV and now starring on Broadway in 'Sleuth.'
The designer of the Triumph cars was also on hand at the NY Auto Show. His name was Donald Healey. In the mid-1930s, Healey was Development Engineer for the Triumph Motor Company and designed and competed in the firm's famous rally cars.
