October 24th and 25th, an auction featuring some great vintage items including three Mia Farrow dresses (the one above, by Pierre Cardin, and two others, in the gallery below) will take place in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Don't worry, you can bid online!

The auction is hosted by the Whitaker-Augusta Auction Company, a well known auction house featuring western, "cowboy," Native American, and couture textiles and art. We discovered them at the Manhattan Vintage show in Chelsea, NYC.

Have a look at the Mia Farrow pieces, as well as a vintage Pucci and a vintage Dior, in the gallery below, and be sure to visit Whitaker-Augusta's website to see the rest of the items, including an inuit necklace, lots of great cowboy boots, jewelry, and more vintage dresses!

Heading to Switzerland soon? Got a few million dollars to spare? Have we got the sale of the century for you! Legendary auction houses Christie's and Sotheby's are holding their spring jewelry sales in Swiss capital city Geneva this week.

Cher and share alike

Confession: I love Cher.

I love her songs. I love her movies. I love her long face. I love the graceless way she seems to chew her words whenever she speaks. And despite all of those unfortunate outfit choices over the years -- behavior which would normally made any lesser person dead to me -- she can do no wrong in my book.

Thus, you can only imagine how excited I was to hear that Cher is putting the contents of her Malibu home up for auction. The items, which include jewelry, clothes, household knick-knacks and furniture will be on exhibit throughout the US and the UK before being auctioned off at Sotheby's and Julien's.

Cher decided to have the sale so that she would be able to have the space in her home to redecorate. And of course, being the incredible creature of style and substance that she is, she will even share a percentage of the proceeds with an unnamed charity.
