If you’re following Beauteeful Living’s Facebook page, you may recall I recently attended an Oyster festival at Asbury Park, NJ. As someone who loves seafood and visiting new places, it was a no-brainer to attend this event. At the Oysterfest, I expected to find the usual fanfare — seafood vendors, food trucks, and local crafters. What I did not expect was a boutique…on wheels! Meet Runaway, a mobile shopping experience I’m thrilled to share with you in this latest Beauteeful Finds installment:

That day, I had the pleasure of meeting Emily Dell, CEO and President of the Runaway. She and her sister, Hillary, are the team behind this venture.
