I’ll admit that I have been hoping for this one to come along for some time now: Store Adore shoppers now receive a 20 percent discount on all regularly-priced clothing at We One You Two, the delightful shop that combines familiar labels with up-and-coming names from all over. I’ve shared my obsession with Beirn bags since I discovered them on my last visit here (I’m still longing for the black and white python print “Jenna”—now’s my excuse to get it!), and I like how I always find a brand or piece I’ve never seen before on every single visit. (A t-shirt with a graphic ballet shoe print was another recent favorite, and I really like the sweet buy not cloying Alex Woo bow necklaces shown here; priced from $148 for the silver to $948 for the pave diamond version.) The customer-centric shop infuses a bit of downtown, almost Manhattan-esque sophistication into what is still a relatively preppy, if contemporary and cool, shopping scene, and is a welcome addition to our great crop of Store Adore-exclusive discounts.

You can now strut down the northern end of Wisconsin Avenue and take advantage of Store Adore-exclusive discounts pretty much everywhere you’d want to shop: We One You Two (20% off clothing), Sugar (20% off), Sassanova (20% off), A Mano (free gift with purchase) and Urban Chic (20% off)—and once you get down to M Street, you can still get great deals at Keith Lipert (10% off) Ann Hand (25% off costume jewelry) and Wink (20& off).
