two elle - a lifestyle boutique for women, men, and home

Friends, our reports are indicating that the reign of the skinny hipster boy is fading, because suddenly we can’t seem to keep our Larges in stock. We went the extra mile for the dads this weekend, though, and made sure that there are plenty of Nashville shirts, all sizes and colors represented. Or, if he’s more of a rocker dad, we have plenty of Chaser rock tees, like the Allman Brothers and Megadeath shirts above. And finally, fear not, fashionista dads; we have a linen Life After Denim sweater and Bensimon sneakers that you’re going to love. So, whatever kind of dad you are, we hope this weekend is a privileged one for you.

And while my own dad may be neither rocker nor fashionista, I know he’ll proudly sport a 2L rabbit any day.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and to mine in particular for helping me turn this rabbit hole into a wonderland.

Thanks to photographer Stephen Mitchell Gilbert, who bought our Jedidiah Japan tee for his friend Megumi, we’ve officially gone global! He sent her the shirt to make her smile while her home heals, and here’s what she had to say:

“Thank you so much. I love it. Big hugs from Japan to you and your family!!”

Big hugs to you, too, Megumi! Keep smiling, keep healing, and know that our hearts are with you!

Well, we keep wanting to give a shout out to our new men’s additions and tell you about how our men’s Bensimons are here or how great the Life After Denim spring line is, but somehow our ladies keep stealing the spotlight. Perhaps it’s because they’re just that cute.

There isn’t much to say about our new Tarina Tarantino Pink Head collection, though. These little kitties speak for themselves….

Although I’m a fairly verbose girl, Mother’s Day presents a particular challenge, as I find that there are never enough words to express just how much I adore my mother. Luckily for me, this year Betsy & Iya has come to my rescue with their universal love necklace. On it you’ll find the words “I love you” in as many languages as can fit on a giant bronze heart. We only have a couple left, though, so if you’re having trouble finding the right words for your mom this weekend, we suggest getting here before the Mother’s Day shopping frenzy takes over!

And to my own mother, I may not speak as many languages as the Betsy & Iya heart, but in every one I know, te amo.

With all the hoopla surrounding some of the big event items in our store (shoes direct from Paris, dresses direct from London, jewelry direct from Portland, and shirts that heal Japan), sometimes we forget about the darling little guys, like this cropped whale tee, who populate our racks. Well, one girl who never overlooks the little guys is our resident baby and toddler expert, our dear friend Maggie.

Maggie is the beauty, brains, and brilliance behind Tweed Baby Outfitters in Edgehill Village. We outfit her in adult-sized clothes, and we highly recommend her darling shop for anyone living in or gifting in the baby arena. Truth be told, Rachel finds it difficult to leave Tweed empty-handed. But then again, adults who live in a 2L Wonderland make no objection to eating their morning cereal out of baby-sized bowls.

So, join us all for the simple pleasures that we offer. We’ll put bunnies and whales on your t-shirts, and Tweed (http://www.tweedbabyoutfitters.com) will make your babies as fashionable as you are!
