I always make it a priority to stay up to date with what’s happening in the world especially in the fashion and beauty realm because as a lifestyle blogger and content creator, I am in the space and work with brands in the industry. I like to use what’s currently happening to either spread awareness about a certain cause or event or to show my support. Here are five top stories that I thought were important:
- Kate Spade’s Passing: This month’s fashion/beauty news recap is a bit bittersweet as we remember the life of Kate Spade and all the milestones that she achieved in the fashion industry. She took her own life at 55, stunning and leaving many fans of her work and dear loved ones in shock including myself. It is at times like these where you realize you never know what is going on in another person’s personal life no matter how glamorous it may look on the outside. She will be remembered for generations as an influential figure and a pioneer of women’s fashion. I think this is a wake up call for us to talk more about mental health and not shy away from the topic because it is honestly important to have a dialogue about this issue. If you have a friend or family member that may be suffering, try to reach out to them or find help. You never know the gravity of someone else’s issues so always think before speaking and find help where you can.
- Lunar Beauty: Your favorite male beauty Youtuber, MannyMUA, has finally launched his first product of his very own line. Lunar Beauty has been in the works for two years and his first product did not disappoint. The “Life’s A Drag” palette is drag queen inspired and is absolutely stunning. With a total of 14 shades ranging from neutral to pops of color, anyone can create a look with this palette. There is an overwhelming positive feedback from other beauty reviewers and I personally cannot wait to get my hands on it. I can’t wait to see what else he releases from his line!
- Fanny packs: During the course of 2018, we have seen a comeback for the classic 80s accessory. With luxury brands such as Gucci coming out with their own style of fanny pack, fast fashion companies like Zara and H&M are quickly catching onto the fad. Personally I love rocking a fanny pack as a statement piece to my outfit. They are also extremely comfortable and convenient to to carry your everyday items.
- Fenty Beauty Summer Collection: I’m sure that everyone has seen Rihanna’s Instagram video with her new Fenty summer collection. Every time there is a new Fenty launch, the internet goes nuts for the products. This season they have three new Killawat highlighters, six lip luminizers, and two liquid eye shimmers. The colors are so fun, bright and perfect for the summer. These new products in addition to the Body Lava and Fairy Bomb are sure to make you shimmer and glow throughout the entire season. Would you guys be getting your hands on them?
- Eggie Summer Drop: Jenn Im’s clothing line just dropped their summer collection and the pieces are just amazing for the warm weather. This is probably one of the more feminine and flirty launches and I am all about it! The collection is full of ruffles, florals, and fun designs. I adore the “Party Mom” graphic tee as well the Wrapped Up Dress. I have always been a fan of Jenn Im’s style and the summer launch is probably the best collection to the date. I am actually working with them for this drop so stay tuned for the outfits I chose and how I style them!
Do let me know if you guys keep up to date with what’s happening and what story or headline that caught your attention the most recently!

Thanks for sharing this great round-up.
I love the Fenty beauty collection and on a different note, I, too, was shocked and saddened by the death of Kate Spade.

I have yet to get my hands on any of the Fenty Beauty products but they look amazing!
I know, I was devastated and equally shocked when I learned of Kate Spade’s passing. I’ve always loved her designs, especially the more quirky ones, which I feel really embodied her personality and interest in art. I agree, it’s unfortunate that incidents like this is what it takes for us to realize how important drawing attention to mental health is. It’s an unseen illness that should be just as talked about and seen as important as those that we can see. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a great week, girl!

I agree ;(
Just bought the new issue of Vogue to catch up on some beauty news but I don’t even need to read it now haha! Excited to see the new Fenty range!
Vogue is such a timeless magazine!
I think I must be the only blogger who has not seen that Instagram video. I do like your summer round up very much and agree that the passing of Kate Spade is in an enormous tragedy, as well as a collateral loss to fashion and our culture. Truly tragic, thanks foe sharing.

I want to get one like that!
I really enjoyed this fashion/ beauty news update! I was really shocked to hear that Kate Spade passed away- I see so many women with her bags around the city and her designs are timeless. I’m definitely excited for the Fenty summer collection, and the Eggie summer drop looks pretty cool too!

I also own a few Kate Spade handbags so it’s definitely a shocker but I think she’s left an amazing legacy and brand and that’s something we’ll always remember her by.
So sad about the news of Kate Spade….

Yes it’s such a bummer but I am hoping this can shed light on mental health!
Kate Spade really hit me hard and I’m sure you know why. It’s ever so sad that our industry has taken yet another life. If there’s anything good to follow from this, maybe it’s the fact that people will talk more about mental health and not having it as such a pariah. As for the bumbags, I never thought I would catch up with that trend, but as a proud owner of no less than 10 bumbags I guess I have to stand corrected and am loving the trend, haha.

Haha, I’ve seen you rock those bumbbags and it looks great on you!
i was super devastated to learn about kate spade’s passing and how she left behind a 13 year old daughter too. i can’t imagine what her family must be going through. she was definitely influential and touched many people’s lives including mine. i’ll always be a fan of her work! you’re so right — you never know what other people’s hardships are like behind closed doors, which is why it’s so important to spread kindness <3
I couldn’t agree more Sharon!
Such a good blog post! I’m interested in the Eggie items and can’t wait to read your review on their pieces! 🙂
