Find it Fridays: Lace Wedding Dress Under $500
Hello, and welcome back to Find it Fridays! My latest challenge for Shine's weekly fashion scavenger hunt came from a reader named ColleenL, who is on the hunt for an affordable wedding dress. Here is her request:

"I am looking for a mostly lace wedding dress for an outdoor coastal wedding. The theme is old fashioned and classic so no sparkles for me. I would prefer some sort of straps. I have probably tried on 30 dresses but haven't found 'the one' yet. Oh, and it would be great if it cost less than $500 since I still have a lot of wedding to fund. Thanks!"

Hi, Colleen! Thanks so much for your submission. There are so many different lace styles that fit your description, so I found a range of 10 different wedding dresses all within your budget. Please let me know if you like these choices! Readers: please weigh in on which one you think Colleen should pick for her big day! Do you have any additional tips on where she can find affordable lace wedding dresses? Let her know in the comments.

Bloomingdale's, $32
As the Summer Olympics have captured hearts and spirits around the world, we are grateful for the inspiration, patriotic pride, and sense of oneness in the world they provide. However, the biggest gift the 2012 games may have given the world is even more significant for many -- the revival of the scrunchie.

Yes, it's true, those adorable, powerful little gymnasts just may have given women around the world the most perfect present -- permission to wear scrunchies again. They sported them during their daring routines, and people took note. On Twitter and in print, fashion followers everywhere are debating if the scrunchie is indeed going to make a mainstream fashion comeback, and more importantly, if it should.

Some are adamantly resisting their greatness, but I for one, say the return of the scrunchie is long overdue.

Celebs Hawking T-Shirts: The Latest Trend?
By Beautyriot Diva | Fashion | Thu, Aug 9, 2012 8:17 PM EDT | Comments

It's official: The T-shirt is having a moment -- and the celebs have noticed. In fact, they're cashing in on this latest trend. First, there was Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's line of $30 staple tees for StyleMint.com. Then, Gwyneth Paltrow unveiled her $90 white T-shirt for the Goop Collection (and the Twittersphere exploded with outrage). Now, Jennifer Lopez has launched an interactive, T-shirt-only e-commerce website.

It's called Teeology.com and the website allows members to vote on luxury T-shirts created by different designers. The shirts with the most votes go into immediate production.

Source: The Trends You Should Keep - and Stash - For the Season Ahead

With a new season comes a fresh crop of clothing and accessories to lust after - but what if your budget doesn't allow for a closet full of brand-new Proenza, Dolce, and (Vera or Alexander) Wang? Luckily, there are many items in your current wardrobe that can transition seamlessly into the new season with a few simple tweaks. Adding layers like chunky sweaters, textured tights, and a wool or leather jacket can easily turn your Summer favorites into Fall staples. Here are the trends you should think about keeping (or stashing) for the seasonal shift.

Keep:
- Colored and printed jeans. Spring 2012 may have ushered in the patterned denim trend, but it's not going anywhere for Fall. The trick is to pair your bright pants with darker hues and Fall-ready fabrics like leather, wool, and cashmere. Prints like paisley, polka dots, and vintage florals will look great for the season - we're especially loving the Looke
