Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend last week! We're back with a brand new addition of our weekly linkup party. This week we're chatting summer skincare, how to wear matching sets, and giving away a $50 Sephora giftcard!

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!

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!

I'll admit I didn't know who Nicole Trunfio was until I came across this photo of the Australian model rocking a chic black jumpsuit and ankle strap heels - and did a double take. Her looks exudes cool, casual sophistication. And I found myself liking her style even more when I noticed she recycles her accessories (she's wearing the same stud purse and ankle-strap heels in this look, too). I think this is an outfit we can all imitate with ease, dressing up a one-piece for day or night all summer long and into the fall months, too. What more could you want? (Maybe those model-long legs but...shopping the look for less is the next best thing!)

I've had the chance to see Mara Hoffman's designs walk the runway at New York Fashion Week, and I have to say it's always a treat - there's something so exciting about her colorful, kaleidoscopic prints and fresh, modern vibe. Hoffman herself is inspired by textiles and prints she sees on her travels around the globe. Needless to say, I'm not the only one who loves her designs, which is why I seem to see a lot of inspired-by prints at fast-fashion chains and big-box retailers.
