All great shops with solid brands – I will update the post later with a note on what the prices are like and let you know if they are, indeed, holy @$&# prices. I am in dire need of some new blush so will be popping by today to check out what Kiss and Makeup has to offer, at least.
Today marks Lark’s 5 year birthday in Mount Pleasant, and they’re celebrating with shopping, wine, and food – with proceeds going to the Growing Chefs program for Mount Pleasant Elementary School (cute).
