Neon Brights: Christina Milian's Crop Top and Neon Pumps Look for Less

Christina Milian's neon yellow and black look for less
When you hear the words "crop top" and "neon" in the same sentence, you know things could go horribly awry fashion-wise. But not in the case of Christina Milian, who toned down her bright neon yellow pumps and lace crop top with black skinny jeans and a leather moto jacket. And even if she removes the jacket once she hits the clubs (or whatever chic destination she might be headed to), this look will still be stylishly cool and not over-the-top. Ready to wear neon the new way? Read on for our budget-friendly picks!

Spot the Real: Manolo Blahnik 'Chaos' Heels

Can you guess which heels cost more?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say every girl needs a pair of silver ankle strap heels. They're fun, sexy and go with just about any dressed up look. Plus they're leg-lengthening like no other, and flattering on all skin tones. Sold? You could go with the investment pair, Manolo Blahnik's Chaos ankle-strap sandals ($725 at neimanmarcus.com), or save your rent money and opt with the look for less I found that's just $35 (down from $50). I also love this Forever 21 pair that's just $29.90 although the ankle strap is a bit different. See if you can spot the real from the steal by clicking either link below!



What to Wear to the Beach: 3 Perfect Outfits On A Budget

Beachy looks on a budget
We might have just passed the Fourth of July on the calendar, but we still have so many sun filled days left to enjoy. The hottest days are still ahead of us - and hopefully some vacation days! I absolutely love relaxing in the summer sun, with sunscreen in hand of course. Sometimes relaxing can mean many different things. Sometimes it means just lounging, and other times it means working up a sweat. Either way, there’s a beach style that’s just right no matter how you plan on spending your day in the sun!
