Kristin ruins The Hills

Kristin Cavilleri, a poor replacement for Lauren if you ask me, officially announced that she'd be joining The Hills to EW. And she reveals that it was her who set up Heidi and Spencer originally! Even more of an idiot than I thought she was!

"It was 4 years ago. I was dating Brody [Jenner] and Spencer was Brody’s best friend. I had known Heidi when she was friends with Lauren when we were still filming Laguna Beach. Heidi was like, ‘Hook me up with someone. I wanna meet a guy.’ And Brody and I were kinda like, ‘Well, maybe Spencer?’ We’ll see what happens.’ So we all went on a double date and they just hit it off right away and now they’re married."

So that's who we have to blame for the monstrosity that is Speidi.

Also, what's with Kristin speaking openly about "acting" on The Hills and how it's all a setup? Excuse me, but I like to live in fantasy land, comfortable in the knowledge that The Hills is a reality show, so all the drama that happens is real. I've ignored everyone in the past who suggests otherwise, but I can't ignore this: "it’s a TV show and they need to make it entertaining." and "It’s a TV show. I’m not going into it like, ‘I’m going to make great friendships with these people.’ It’s work! And drama sells."

So went her interview with EW. I'm not sure I'm going to be obsessing about The Hills anymore.

Hot right now: The Bustier

Once again, Rihanna triumphs in the style department. This is like, the ultimate casual outfit because she looks dressed down but super hot at the same time. Not an easy feat ladies. How can you pull it off?

What you have:
- the loose cardi, preferably in a thick rib and short. We have one of these on sale right now by Natasha, coincidentally, at 70% off retail.
- the cargo pants: these are a perennial and no matter the colour, will work as long as they sit loose and low on the hip.

What you need:
- A bustier! The light colour gives Rihanna's outfit a fresh, casual feel, so keep this in mind when purchasing. Bustiers in a darker colour are much more dressy and probably won't look as cool.

Should you wear heels with denim shorts?

Here's Nicky Hilton, shopping LA. Casually decked out with a pair of screaming hot shoes, is it a look we can copy?

I always check out celebs wearing heels with denim shorts and love it. Their legs look longer, thinner, and great shoes have a fabulous knack of turning an ordinary pair of cut offs and a singlet into an outfit. You know?

But whenever I pop on my highest heels with my shortest denims, I look ... wrong. Overdone. Try hard.

Honestly, what kind of glamourous life are you leading when heels + denim shorts are acceptable wear for a daytime trip to Westfield? My shopping trips are purposely accompanied by either thongs, ballet flats or trainers. How are you supposed to make shopping worth it when you know your feet are going to end up aching and make the entire experience unbearable?

Nicky probably doesn't have any such concerns. In LA, you drive everywhere. There is no shopping strip, very few big shopping centres, she simply drives her car up to valet and pays for the pleasure of being looked after. Valet is everywhere in LA, it's like McDonalds.

Seeing as we a) don't live in LA, b) aren't an heiress to the Hilton fortune and c) don't have valet, I've come to the disappointing conclusion that you should only wear heels with frayed denim shorts out at night. Prolific daytime use just doesn't fit into our lifestyle.

Brooke Hogan and friend Rachel Spike at Brooke's 21st

Does this not sum up your idea of typical California girls? This is what I'm talking about when I blog about stereotypical LA style, ie. there is no style. It's pretty much, I'm going to dye my hair as blonde as I can, grow it as long as I can, and then wear a tight dress in a bright colour. It's my 21st birthday party so I get to choose which dress and which colour first, you can have the leftovers, because we're best friends.

I can't tell you how much I think women who dress like this aren't doing themselves any favours. They've basically modelled their entire look on Malibu Barbie. Who, I'm not sure if you're aware, is a doll.

They're also dressing for men, which I don't think we do in Australia. Here, we dress in what looks good and what makes us feel good, as women. In fact I think we dress more for women than we do for men, which is bloody unreal. I'm so happy we don't feel the need to get around in tight, bright lycra in order to attract attention. It doesn't look good. It looks like they're stuck in a style rut and haven't paid any attention to fashion at all. I bet they're worn a variation of these dresses every weekend for the past three years. Bo-ring.

Fashion is about having fun, taking risks, dressing up and stepping into a new persona each time you leave the house. Try, I implore you, not to model that persona on Malibu Barbie.

Four reasons to watch Star Trek. Chris Pane (second from left) is my favourite. HOT HOT HOT.

When accessories ATTACK

"Help!"

"Uh, do you hear something Mrs Mangel?"

"It's me! Spencer it's me! I'm in here!'

"Heidi? Where are you?"

"I'm in the bag!"

"You're in the bag?"

"It swallowed me whole, like I was a beetle. Like I was a grub. Like I didn't matter at all!"

"Here Heidi, gimme your hand. We'll show that bag who's boss."

Heidi and Spencer Pratt ... with an unsuspecting lady they accosted to take yet another photo for the paps. Oh, and the bag that Heidi may end up living in when Spencer kicks her out for a Playboy Bunny.

Chloe's jumpsuit + blazer = cool cool

Sometimes I'd like to have the nerve to dress like Chloe Sevigny. But I just don't think I could get away with a vagina skimming jumpsuit at my next shindig, you know? Not sure how my friends would take it.

This outfit is beyond cool. It's transcended into a realm mere mortals can't even visit. Those that can? Chloe now, of course, along with Kate Moss, Helena Christensen, Alexa Chung, Erin Wasson, Daisy Lowe. It's that, "I'm so smoking hot, I can throw on whatever I like and it's stylish". And somehow, it is!

What can we, mere mortals, learn from this fashion Queen Bee? The blazer will come into its own when paired with something mini. Had Chloe worn this jumpsuit with a bomber jacket or a faux fur, it might have cheapened it. Instead, she's all class. A real feat when you're concerned about your butt sneaking out of your shorts. The other major trend is navy. Grey might be the new black but navy is the cool girl's staple.
