Inspired by my friend Kat at Corporette, I thought it would be fun to share my best beauty purchases, items I buy again and again.

I’ve been doing a lot of shopping from ELOQUII this year, plus they have sent me some things. ELOQUII for me is hit or miss, sometimes it fits as though it was custom made, sometimes I need to be 4” taller to make things work, sometimes (especially with their pants) I don’t have enough hip… Continue Reading Shopping Hits and Misses: ELOQUII Edition
