What’s Trending Now: Beauty & Fashion with a Luxe Touch

June 18, 2025

If you’re ready to embrace the summer season with confidence, elegance, and a little glam, then this one’s for you. The latest beauty and fashion trends are all about polished simplicity, radiant skin, and statement pieces that speak volumes. Here’s what’s hot right now—and how to glow from head to toe with elevated style.

Beauty Trends: Polished, Radiant, and Age-Defiant

1. Luminous Skin is the New Foundation

Heavy makeup is out, and radiant, healthy skin is in. DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer is a multitasking hero that offers sun protection, hydration, and a sheer, dewy glow. It works beautifully under makeup or on its own. It’s the perfect “skincare meets glam” product.

2. Simple, Yet Effective Skincare

If you want big results but want to use little effort to get there, then Trifecta is the answer. It’s just 3 multitasking skincare products with powerful, yet gentle skincare actives. Just use the 3 products morning and night and get ready for glowing skin.

3. Grown-Up Glam Makeup

The trend is effortless glam—glowing skin, defined lashes, and a bold lip.

  • Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick – A creamy formula that melts into skin for the perfect flush.
  • Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream – Silky, blendable bronzer that gives a sun-kissed glow without shimmer overload.

👠 Fashion Trends: Understated Luxe

1. Tailored with a Twist

Sharp tailoring with a feminine edge is in. Think belted blazers, high-waisted trousers, and elevated separates that feel both powerful and graceful.

2. Soft Metallics & Luxe Fabrics

Satin, silk, and subtle shimmer are trending in both casual and evening wear. A champagne silk blouse or metallic midi skirt can elevate any outfit effortlessly.

3. Elegant Statement Pieces

Accessories are making bold, refined statements this season:

  • Oversized Sunglasses
  • Structured top-handle bags in rich neutrals like ivory, oxblood, or deep navy

4. Modern Boho with Edge

The ’70s-inspired look gets a fresh update—silk maxi dresses and gold accessories create a vibe that’s free-spirited but always polished.

These trends are all about celebrating where you are and showing up with confidence and style.

  • Embrace your personal aesthetic
  • Invest in pieces that feel good and look amazing
  • Let your natural glow do the talking because luxury isn’t just what you wear—it’s how you feel.

Which of these beauty and fashion trends speaks the most to you?

Are you going to a wedding or another special even Are you going to a wedding or another special event this summer? This dress with the embroidered flowers and lace is a beautiful option.

It’s technically a midi, but more maxi on me because I’m a petite 5’1”. Available in 2 color options and lots more similar styles. And there’s even a warehouse sale happening right now with dresses starting at $39.

Let me know if you want the link with sizing details and discount code.💙💚

*Thank you @maggylondon for this gorgeous dress!
Happy new month friends! I’m sharing a cute outfit Happy new month friends! I’m sharing a cute outfit that’s perfect for a summer day of running my errands. My new large terry cloth tote is so fun and unique. It’s great for travel or even a day at the beach too.

Anybody traveling for the 4th of July weekend? We’re going to our usual destination where we hang with our kids and grandkids to enjoy the celebration which means I will be busy today getting ready to go.🎆

😎 Be sure to check out the fun quilted tote. Comment for the LINK.👜

Dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in one of Dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in one of my favorite vacation places wearing one of my favorite dresses with my most favorite person in the world. 

Scroll to the right to see the back of this gorgeous pleated dress that packs into a little pouch making it travel friendly. It’s currently on sale too!☀️

The maxi dress has a raw hem so it’s super easy to cut without having to get it hemmed. That worked out perfectly for me and my petite 5’1” height. I cut 3 inches off the bottom of the dress and now it fits me exactly how I like it. I love the color too!

I’m loving the back of the dress so I thought I’d share it in a video when we were walking back from the restaurant after dinner. The restaurant is called Hacienda and it’s by the marina in Cabo. We’ve been going there for years. This trip we went there for brunch too and it was excellent! Highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner if you’re ever in Cabo.

*Let me know if you want DETAILS on what I used.*

Whether I’m spending days or nights by the water, I skip the heavy, full-coverage products and reach for lightweight favorites that let my skin breathe while still giving me that healthy, radiant glow.

Think: sheer coverage, a touch of bronzer, creamy blush, and plenty of luminosity. The goal isn’t a perfect makeup look—it’s looking like the best version of yourself while enjoying every minute of vacation.

Are you a full-face-on-vacation girl, or do you keep your makeup light and simple when you’re at the beach? Tell me below! ⬇️

We always have our favorite restaurants that we go We always have our favorite restaurants that we go to when we’re in Cabo. Toro is one of them and I finally started making my husband take a picture out front these last few years. Swipe to see the previous years and read the captions for each slide to see what I love about this restaurant… ➡️

(Separate picture captions is a new Instagram feature if you didn’t already know that)

I love that they have live music playing out on the patio almost every time we’re there. The band was exceptional this time. They played cover songs and sounded amazing.🎶

The food is excellent. I love that they have some vegetarian options. I always get their delicious beet salad. This time I also got the vegetarian empanadas and had a big scoop of mashed potatoes which were heavenly with crisped parmesan cheese on top.😋

This outfit checked all the boxes for my flight to Cabo, brunch and a few hours of looking at real estate. 

@coldwatercreek has some great options for layering any time of year. And I must admit, I’m kind of obsessed with this linen jacket. I might need to add another color.😉
