Celebrities are always wearing hats. And looking very chic and sophisicated when they do so. When it comes to the common girl, though, most of us get a little insecure when it comes to donning some headwear. When you wear a hat you usually give off one of two vibes: 1) The “I’m so fashionable and trendy that I wear hats” vibe, or, 2) The “OMG that girl looks ridiculous in that hat” vibe. If you love headwear but you’re nervous that you might be vibin’ with number 2 if you even try on a cute hat in the store, follow these tips. If you know where to buy em and how to wear em, pulling off the hat trend will be a cinch.

Fedora – This menswear inspired felt hat makes a bold statement by itself so make sure the rest of your outfit is relatively low key. Wear it with you’re hair down and use it to dress up a simple classic outfit like Hillary Duff’s. If you’re feeling extra ambitious, try tilting it to one side. Tres chic!

Splurge: Tarnish Fedora With Bow available at Nordstroms – $158.00

Bargain: Stripe Trim Fedora at Forever 21 – $10.80

Cossack – Take a cue from the Russians with a faux fur Cossack hat this fall/winter. These hats will definitely keep your head warm when it’s cold out. The look to aim for with a Cossack hat is luxurious and bundled up. Wear with a nice winter coat (when it starts to get cold out, obviously), a scarf, and boots for the ultimate winter-y look. Shiny lip gloss and pink blush will make you look especially polished and put together. Make sure you take the hat off when you get inside, however, to avoid severe head sweating.

Buy a Russian-Style Faux Fur Cossack Hat at FabulousFurs.com – $49.00

Cloche – These bell shaped French hats are extremely stylish this season and super and easy to wear. A cloche pairs well with any simple, understated outfit. I recommend a sweater, tight jeans, and high heeled leather boots.

Purchase an UGG Australia Classic Back Snap cloche at Zappos.com – $107.10

Or if you’re on a budget try this black felt cloche from Forever 21 – $12.80.

Beret – These are by far my favorite hats. I love the way they look super low-key – like you just threw it on as you ran out the door. This hat is perfect for every season and occassion. Just like the cloche, the knit beret looks great with any outfit, but to avoid lookin’ like you’re trying too hard, it’s a good idea to keep the outfit basic.

Splurge: Marc by Marc Jacobs brown dotted wool pleated beret available at Bluefly.com for $159.00.

Bargain: Basic wool black beret at SolidColorHats.com for $7.50

Considering that every episode of The Hills includes Heidi drinking at some Hollywood hot-spot, it came as quite a surprise to me to find out she wasn’t yet 21. But, alas, last night was the big two-one for Ms. Montag. And what did she do to celebrate the big event? Why, spend the evening with the one and only person in California that is still speaking to her: Spencer.

I can’t imagine a worse way to spend my birthday – besides the ridiculously sexy Chanel bag, of course – than dining with Spencer Pratt while he plays with his iPhone in a hideous dress that makes me resemble the left-overs of the entire meal my anorexic body couldn’t handle. But who am I to judge? To each their own.

It is not like Heidi had a choice; even if she were still friends with Lauren (or anyone, for that matter) she would not have been able to celebrate with Heidi because everyone who was anyone was at the Young Hollywood party. Which, by the way, LC and Whitney rocked. Way to handle a large group of obscure young “celebrities” and Hilary Duff, ladies!

And while the party was super chic and fabulous, I found the whole thing so strange, considering these days LC and Whitney would definitely be two of the guests at the party (with front row tickets, totally!) and not the people with the ear buds in running the show. Is this one of the show’s fatal flaws and further evidence that the whole thing is scripted?

But before we debate that – even though we all know deep down but absolutely refuse to admit that this can’t possibly be real – we must not forget about Audrina and Justin “My Hair is Officially Turning into Dreadlocks” Bobby. How much did it make you want to puke when they roll into the concert in matching leather jackets? Almost the worst thing ever until the camera pulls back and you realize that JB’s capri/combat boot combination. And did anyone else notice when he stepped away from the bar at the after party only to come back acting a little stranger than normal?

Could it be? Was Mr. Justin taking lines in the bathroom? I don’t want to accuse anyone of anything….Wait. Of course I do. Justin Bobby is a total drug user. He couldn’t even hold a coherent conversation when he returned. It was like listening to Britney’s interview with Ryan Seacrest.

Band Dude: What’s the story with you and Audrina?

Justin Bobby: Yeah. She’s really good.

Band Dude: Are you 2 hot and heavy?

Justin Bobby: Yeah. She’s really good.

Band Dude: Who told you those pants looked good with those boots. Or at all?

Justin Bobby: Yeah. She’s really good.

We’ll see how everything pans out next week. I hope it includes an intervention and a trip for Justin Bobby to the Cirque lodge. If I had my way, next week would be some sort of crossover episode with JB going on What Not To Wear.

Now that’s some good reality TV.
