Every savvychic woman has one friend who is a brand snob. That one girl who might say she loves your top but immediately after you mentioned you bought it on sale at the mall and not at shopbop.com spending half your paycheck she changes her mind saying it looks cheap. That one girl who swears that brand clothing makes all the difference and she wouldn't be caught dead in something that doesn't have a high end label. It is with those girls that I like to play a little game called The Guessing Game.

The rules are simple. You lay out a few like items in front of her. Some are expensive brand name pieces and others are cheaper versions. Will she be able to tell which one is the one she would buy or will she like the one she wouldn't be caught with?

I thought the game was appropriate with the new trendy headbands. Headbands were evident in all sizes on runways for next season. Thick ones or thin ones with bows à la Blair Waldorf, they're great for putting back those untrimmed bangs that keep falling in your eyes or just for adding to an outfit, they come in cheap and extra pricey. Since there's not much room for error in gluing a piece of fabric to a plastic band, however, differences are hard to spot.

Take a guess and then check your answers with the prices below.

Denim trends seem to have been going though an ADD phase lately. Skinny, high-waisted, wide-leg and trouser-style are all very in right now and one more look is about to become the latest obsession for denim lovers out there. The boyfriend slouchy jeans are exactly what the name suggests. They are loose throughout the leg, hang just below the waist and have a baggy fit, just like men's jeans. Katie Holmes has been photographed in them for weeks in Manhattan, Reese Witherspoon has joined in the trend and even super pulled-together fashionista Victoria Beckham was seen wearing one. The trick is to pair these comfy and relaxed pants with a tight top so the look is not too shaggy. Ballet flats and a nice belt also help to add a feminine touch to the masculine item. For a boho feel, try rolling up the ends and carry an oversized purse. Here's where you can find this latest trend.

* BDG Slouchy Skinny Jean Cuffed - These jeans have the best of both worlds. They're cut in a skinny fit but have a slouchy style to them too. Perfect if you don't want to go all the way into the trend. Shostyle.com $58

* 501 Boyfriend Cut Jeans - This pair has a straight leg throughout and a low-rise waist. Shown above cuffed, the pants can be unrolled too. Levi's $19.98

* Relaxed Tapered 550 Jeans - The classic cut jeans. It has a higher waist, ends at the ankle and has a relaxed fit throughout. Be very careful. While Mrs. Katie Holmes can pull this one off, pairing it with the wrong top or shoes will make you look more soccer mom than stylish. Levi's $19.98 

We've all had our OMG moments. From a broken heel at a party to a ketchup stain during your lunch break, sometimes life just seems to want to have a little fun at the expense of us humans and there's nothing we can do about it. Correction: there's nothing we could do about it. That's right, past tense. After many of those moments I have come up with a list of things that should always, ALWAYS be either a) in your purse (hey, they're huge anyway. Might as well fill them up) or b) in your glove compartment.

Here are the essentials for your fashion 911 moments:

* Nail Polish - In two shades, the one you have your nails painted this week and a clear one. If your nails break, you can quickly correct the chip with a few strokes and not look sloppy, which is the impression you'll give out at work going to a meeting with your manicure half-destroyed. The clear polish is for a less obvious purpose. If you notice your tights starting to run, dab a little of the clear polish at the end of it and let dry. The run won't be fixed but will stop expanding. Try Sally Hansen Nail Color Nude $2.24 at CVS Pharmacies.

* Instant Stain Remover- It works. It really does work. You apply it to the stain immediately after it happens and voilá, your shirt is white again. (Why, oh, why do we suddenly get sloppy when wearing white?) Try Tide to Go Instant Stain Remover Stick $2.99 at facevaluesonline.com.

* Sewing Kit - I confess, once I was almost left pantless in the middle of New York City as all four buttons in my shorts decided to suddenly fall off. I made a stop at a Forever 21 and bought a new pair but only after a good five blocks of walking down 5th holding my shorts up. The situation could have been easily fixed if I had had a needle and thread with me, gone into a bathroom and sewed the buttons back on. Try The Complete Sewing Kit $5 at Walgreens.

* Super Glue - Few things come close to the horror that is having one of your heels break in the middle of a party. I've seen girls break the other unbroken one and making their shoes a pair of flats but that was torture to watch and they weren't even mine. So if you feel your heel coming loose, go to the closest bathroom you can find, sit down and superglue the heel back on. If there's any leftover glue on the shoe, peel that off before adding more to it. Wait for it to dry and you're on your way. Try Scotch Super Glue $11.99 at Target.

* A Pair of Black Ballet Flats - This one will not fit in your purse but is definitely worth having in your car for when you try those brand new stilettos that you find out two hours later could double as torture devices. Try American Eagle Cameo Mary Jane $13.99 at Payless.

As I toured the blogroll yesterday I was confused at why so many of them chose the subject of underwear as a topic of discussion. Even the Today Show had a segment on skivvies and while it all could have been a weird coincidence, it wasn't. As it turns out, yesterday was National Underwear Day. Who knew? So now we're following suit and celebrating underwear day...one day late. Don't worry I won't offend your intelligence and tell you where to buy panties. We all go to Victoria's Secret semi-annual sale for that. I did choose some cute and unusual styles you might want to check out.

The Day of the Week boyshorts are colorful and fun. Girly and kind of childish, made out of cotton and (obviously) stamped with designs from Monday to Friday. Great option for those who have no one to impress.

The nude laser-cut is a favorite of mine. Forget about thongs for avoiding marks, this pair will do the trick without giving you a wedgie. It has no stitching so the nylon and spandex fabric sticks to your skin leaving no panty lines.

What's more pin-up girl sexy than a satin bra? The thick straps and padded cup give this pair an old school charm with a lot of support.

Also adding an old fashioned sex appeal are the high-waisted panties. The black lace adds to the vintage look and the spandex on the sides cover up those love-handles you absolutely hate.

The one accessory you must make sure to have when going to the beach is a hat. Not only does it protect you from those oh-so-bad-for-you UV rays and prevents the skin on your face from sunburn and spots, it can give you a glamorous look. That is if you don't go for the (yawn) usual same-old baseball hat. A floppy or fedora hat can add to your beach look by giving it a more put together and fashionable touch. It is also a transitional accessory, easily matching a cover up like Nicole Richie's below. Her white fedora has been worn all around L.A. this summer for its versatile and classic look that stems from its black band and breezy and soft straw material.

Ashley Tisdale's fedora is less structured than Richie's. Its neutral color makes it easy to match with any bathing suit and its lightweight and soft rim give you a perfect beach bum look.

For old Hollywood glamour, the oversized floppy hat is the style to go for. Katherine Heigl wore a white one on her latest vaca and I have to say, the beads on this cheaper version make it even more classic and chic.

I was reading the latest issue of Elle Magazine and couldn't help but notice how high heels are going to be for next season: Nothing less than five inches or more along with a platform in the front. The New York Times' Style section featured just how high people are willing to go and it really seems this runway look actually is making the cross to ready to wear. Don't get me wrong, I love me some heels but I'm thinking these might be a little too much for me. Not only would they feel like geisha shoes to walk on but unless you're a Spice Girl or a drag queen, it doesn't seem like that right choice for a chic look.

If you plan on following the trend or want some more wearable stacked heels options check some over here.

Remember when your mother used to dress you up in cute little jumpsuits from The Children's Place or when years later you wore a much bigger version of them to hang around the house just like Rachel did on Friends? Well, like every piece of clothing, the jumpsuit is making a comeback. This time, however, forget about comfy lounging around styles because the look for it is dressed up and chic. Blake Lively wore a black silk short version of it to the Dark Knight premiere with gold heels, fellow Gossip Girl Leighton Meester went a more casual route with a grey romper with flat sandals and Jennifer Aniston was recently spotted wearing a tight denim one in Malibu. Gwyneth Paltrow rocked a longer style to the red carpet as well as Maggie Gyllenhaal and Amber Tamblyn. Lauren Conrad has added a short sateen jumper to her line and while it does look fab, it goes for $180 (mouth drop queue). Here a few options for this summer must-have for a more wallet-friendly price.
