My hair has two main "seasons": Winter hat head and summer frizz! Yes, it's good to be my hair - a finicky crop of strands that tend to be neither curly nor straight nor wavy - but somewhere in between - for about 365 days out of the year. So when I heard about John Frieda's new Volume & Gloss Shine Shape hot air brush, I jumped at the opportunity to review one - and I snagged another one to give away to one lucky reader!

The Budget Babe contributor Vanessa Williams Stevenson of Leather and Lollipops brings us an insider look at the latest designs from designer Yoana Baraschi, known for her use of feminine silhouettes with bohemian embellishments and intricate embroideries. —BB

by Vanessa Williams Stevenson
Earlier this week, Bucharest-born designer Yoana Baraschi presented her collection for Resort/Pre-Spring 2014 in New York City. The collection includes a range of dresses and separates available at specialty boutiques such as Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Intermix and Anthropologie. Yoana was formally trained as sculptor and her designs absolutely reflect her artistic background. The pieces incorporate subtle vintage references, high detail and contrast. The cutouts and zippers add fun to the designs which don't take themselves too seriously, and make them easy to grab and go. The Budget Babe takeaway? Neons and neutrals are here to stay. And splurging on a special occasion dress (like the cap-sleeve pink and silver brocade number you'll see after the jump) is always in fashion. —VWS

If denim cut-offs feel stale for summer, crochet shorts are trending as a feminine, boho alternative. Joie's "Carmelo" drawstring crochet shorts retail for $168 at Saks Fifth Avenue, while the look for less is under $25. See if you can spot the real from the steal by clicking either image below!
