Catch Marty London, proprietor of Dazzle Me Twice, today (Saturday), if you can, as this is the only day she will be in her shop before Christmas. There are 4 MacKenzie Childs stockings, $37.50 each, hanging from the mantle in her gorgeous consignment shop at 4632 McPherson (across from The Vino Gallery).
You'll also find a small "barely-carried" Burberry tote, $297, and Burberry ear muffs with original tags, $70.
A brand-new (with tags) Chanel bag is marked at $781 (original price is shown on tag, left). Marty will be in the shop until 4 today, but feel free to schedule an appointment via her cell (314) 757-4464. Dazzle Me Twice will reopen after the New Year.
