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:
Their sign outside read, “Come on in and say hi!” How can I not pay a visit after seeing such a friendly sign? Plus, how cute is that tank top? The Runaway designed their “The World is Your Oyster” tank specifically for this event. Very clever!
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.
When you enter their boutique truck, you will see several racks of merchandise (all new) sourced from New York City showrooms as well as independent designers. The cost of their apparel ranges fromĀ $20 to $60. How reasonable!
Runaway also has their own curated line, Heist, which features vintage costume jewelry. TheirĀ accessories (bracelets, earrings, and necklaces) cost between $8 and $30. Again, very reasonable prices.
Think there wouldn’t be enough space in this 28-foot truck for a dressing room? W-r-o-n-g. They’ve got that covered. How sweet is their “Hello Beautiful” sign? I think a “Hello Beauteeful” sign would work well too! š
Here are 3 ways to Shop The Runaway:
1) Catch them on the run (festivals, salons, or street fairs). Click here for schedule.
2) Shop online by visiting here
3) Throw an At-home fashion party! The Runaway will travel within the Tri-State (NY, NJ, CT) area.
So, take a break from the Pampered Chef parties and round up your friends (10 – 15 minimum) for an at-home fashion party. Runaway will provide a style sheet for hosts to specify clothing size and style preferences. A one-week minimum notice is recommended. A stylist will also be on board to offer free consultations.
The hostess receives a 20% discount throughout the evening and earns $10 toward merchandise for every $100 in sales.
P.S. The Runaway has done bachelorette parties. How fun!

I love the Runaway’s boutique on wheels shopping concept. It was definitely a fun experience to “shop” for the first time in a truck — a stylish one, I must note. š I will definitely be tracking this business.

This is such a neat idea! What a fun girls night out this would be!!
That really is a unique concept. It reminds me of my childhood and sometimes on school days we’d get a visit with a red train caboose that was filled with books you could buy from.
How cool! I would love to visit them!
This is so cool! Moving boutique! I love those accessories! š
This is unexpected and such a cool idea!
How cool! I’ve never seen a clothing truck before, ha ha ha, always food!
Seems like a really fun day and event. Love those bright green shorts the mannequin has on
Oh wow! This is so cute!
Shoppers heaven!!
What a great idea. I have never seen anything like this. I would love to have a chance to shop there
I especially like the jewelry area…I love finds like this. I’d stop and probably shop there!
This would be so fun to go to indeed. The prices are amazing and the styles as well. I wish they would come to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Thanks for sharing.
This is a great idea. I have not heard of a shop on a bus before. I would love to find one and explore the great pieces.
Ohh an at home fashion party would be fun. It would be fun to do for my teen and her friends too!
That sounds so much fun! Shopping is more fun like that! Have a happy weekend!
Now that would be a fun way to shop with a bunch of friends. I love this!
I probably would’ve had to buy all the bracelets. My granddaughter can’t get enough of them.
Wow, this is really cool! I definitely would love to see a fashion truck come near me, just for the experience!
I became aware of fashion trucks earlier this year and I love them. I think it’s such a cool shopping experience. Runway looks fantastic. I love the accessories.
What a cool concept. It is like food truck filled with fashion finds. I love it.
That is a really great concept! I hope to see more of these popping up soon.
This looks like such a fun store!
What an adorable shop! Love it!
This is awesome! I would love to check this out.
Holy cow that looks like fun. Sorry I missed it
I would never expect a truck like this at a festival, looks neat
I really like the jewelry. Fun stuff at great prices!
I LOVE that T Shirt….Can’t wait to have a PARTY!!!!
You’re going to have so much fun! I love that tee too!
I love this! We’re addicted to food trucks and I can see myself being very happy here!!
I think this is an ingenious idea.. never have to stay in 1 place and you go to the people!
I love their philosophy…and festivals and fairs? Yes, please. I will check out the schedule to see if they come to my southern neck of the woods.
What a fun concept! I have never heard of any clothing store doing anything like this- I wish them success!
I like the fashion on a run concept. It would also allow them to cover more markets.
At home fashion parties are always fun! Especially when they offer great prices š
Do they have anything for hunks?
Good question. I think they’ll probably have a kids line before a men’s line. But you never know š
I want them to come to Long Island!
They probably will plus there’s always festivals and fairs in Long Island.
Hi Giselle. If interested in having a Runaway fashion party contact us at info@shoptherunaway.com or at 732.589.0757 and we would be more than happy to come out to Long Island.
I would have a field day shopping there. Look at all that cute stuff.
I agree, for sure :).
