Weekend Plans? Going, Going, Gone!

Have you ever gone to an auction before? I don't think I would have except that my husband works at an auction house. His auction house, Sloans & Kenyon, is having a Vintage Fashion, Couture, and Jewelry auction this Saturday and it looks like it's going to be great! Here are three of my top favorites from the online catalog:

Celadon Green Evening Dress
1930s
Estimate $100-$200

Robert-David Morton Pink Rose Print Dress
1970s
$150-$250

I see Mad Men's Megan Draper wearing this dress. 

Vintage Gold-Toned "Chainmail" Evening Jacket
1970s
$200-$400

This jacket is so bold it begs to be showed off. 

Check out the entire digital catalog on the S&K website and if you want to bid on something but aren't local you can always do a phone bid or bid online via ArtFact.

On the Block!

These exquisite slippers once belonged to Marie-Antoinette who then gifted them to her manservant (I need one of those!) Alexandre-Bernard Ju-Des-Retz who passed them on to his descendants. 

The slippers just sold at a Parisian auction house for $64,745.00 far exceeding their expected humble $12,000.00 estimate. 

Awesome! I wish I had these. I would stomp around my house all day like a really annoying person.

Enjoy your weekend! Meet you back here on Monday.
