As seen on THE HILLS in Los Angeles

When the first season of Laguna Beach came out, everyone and their Mother became enamored with the inside view of these beautiful rich kids; the crushes, the feuds, the dreams and the mansions set with the background of paradise. Little did we know that one of those unsuspecting Laguna kids, LC, would take on her OWN season in Hollywood, would flip it on it's ass, make Kristin Cavallari look like a fool and create a cult following. That's my opinion anyway. In The Hills we were given the a peek into their lives, where they dined, partied, worked etc....and I am going to give you. the exact. locations. For all you stalkers, CHEERS! Cannot wait for Season 4.

Their FANCY jobs

The first season we follow Lauren Conrad to Hollywood where we watch her attempt going to to fashion school FIDM and lands an internship at Teen Vogue. If any of you have ever had an internship you understand that the grunt work alone would make for an interesting/hilarious reality show. The ridiculously long hours, the bitchy coworkers, and the demand to get tasks done that you are completely unqualified for. Good thing all of that was enough, because as the season progressed and we were introduced to Lauren’s cast of friends, we figured out that- there isn’t anything terribly special about any of them. None of them are particularly talented, smart, or sidesplitting funny. In fact, they’re all rather boring. The difference between them and us? They’re exceptionally beautiful, have connections and…..have the dough to live it up. That would make even the most secure person a tad envious.

As the season progresses Lauren and her new intern friend Whitney Port climb up the intern ladder impressing the most stone faced of executives and flying off to Paris and New York to bust their asses. Season 3 they move onto paychecks and land a gig at Peoples Revolution.

The most unlikeable of characters and the one who looks most like a horse (out of the bunch) backstabs her way up the ladder from receptionist to “someone important” at Bolthouse.

Pretty, sweet Audrina (who becomes roomie in Season 3) starts off at the photography studio Quixote and then lands a gig at Epic. Question: How any of them are qualified/smart enough for these positions? No idea. But that is Hollywood and in Hollywood, if you’re beautiful and know people, you get pretty much ANYTHING you want.

Nice work girls.

The rest of the crew…..I’m not sure they work at all. Like the rest of Los Angeles.

Spanish Kitchen

826 N La Cienega Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90069

THIS is where Lauren and Lo decided to meet Audrina for lunch- though rudely began eating/drinking sangria before she arrived and then dropped the bomb that they were looking for a house together….and Audrina was of course, “welcome.” Yeah, to live in the guest house.

Katsu-Ya

11680 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, CA 91604

KATSUYAAAAAA….Sushi is the trendiest Los Angeles activity. If you don’t like sushi, people probably don’t like you. Declare your hibernation if you don’t like sushi.

SHOPPING

If there is one thing these ladies are good at, it’s shopping. Yes it’s a common thread amongst most women unless they’re aliens, but it is an impressive skill set that these girls have. IMPRESSIVE.
Though, I think if we all had the ability to cart around a loaded debit card, we wouldn’t have an issue finding something we’d like to wear either. Did I also mention that it is MUCH easier to find clothes that look good on your body when you buy more designer garb, its true! They have better FIT models. That’s all I’m sayin’.

AND from the looks of their paparazzi photos they aren’t only concerned about what goes on their bodies, but what spruces up their homes. YES, they are young twentysomethings with actual real estate. Makes you wanna gag a bit eh?

Kitson

115 S Robertson Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90048

If a store is popular amongst socialites and popular rag mag regulars, then you can bet it’s popular for the ladies of The Hills. Plus anything on Robertson Blvd will up your “celeb status.” Its a paparazzi breeding ground.

Element

6605 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028

Conveniently located right next to Les Deux I have seen LC here getting here drink on, before she was legal. In fact, the entire cast of Laguna Beach was getting boozed up.

Area Night Club

643 N La Cienega Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90069

This is a STAPLE in almost every episode of The Hills. Lots of make outs, Lots of cheers!, Lots of eye rolling and whorey whores. Not the Hills ladies but fellow club goers.

Though surprisingly.....

These girls have amazing bodies. Little. Amazing. Bodies. Granted, if you had the pressure of having a HUGE MAJOR CABLE NETWORK TV show, you may be less tempted to shove your face with cookie dough. Yes, this IS a common urge for me.

Though, I digress and the point is this….surprisingly enough- these ladies eat. At least on camera.

I suppose when you have the dough and a vast social circle to network with, you do a lot of “lunches.” Or “dinner with the girls!!!” Plus for entertainment purposes it’s where we get to hear all of the gossip, over a glass of sangria and a plate of enchiladas.

Urth Caffe

267 S Beverly Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90212

Urth has that small coffee/indie sort of vibe but is conveniently located on Melrose and La Cienega amongst a bevy of expensive shops. Their angle however is the whole trendy, “organic” thing. AND their cookies are bangin’.

Karma Coffeehouse

1544 N Cahuenga Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028

AH- SO remember when Spencer Pratt and his sister “She Pratt” got in the argument, where he told her to “leave” for being friends with LC and she wouldn’t, so he (very childishly) left instead and said, “GO AHEAD AND DRINK YOUR BOBA” Yeah. That all went down here.

Cobras & Matadors - Los Feliz

4655 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90027

This is where Justin Bobby met Audrina for a date and wooed her with a LEVEL 5 BURP among other “philosophical musings.”

IKEA Burbank

600 N San Fernando Boulevard, Burbank, CA 91502

Who DOESN’T love ikea? The Swedish chocolate, the hot dogs….oh, the cheap ass furniture. P.S. I bought a really awesome bamboo plant and it’s STILL ALIVE. Ikea is radical.

Boozin'....

If there is one thing that young people have in common with these untouchables, it’s that THEY LIKE TO PARTAAAAYYYYY!!!! Let’s just say that the cameras over at MTV better have good night vision or they’d miss an entire season. Not only have we watched many evening progress from sober to glassy-eyed-whisper-speak-boozy-drunk-face, but we’ve always watched; feuds- the famous Lauren/Heidi smack down over the “alleged” sex tape (what socialite doesn’t have a sex tape?), drunken makeout sessions, relationship quarrels, and new friendships blossoming.

Basically, it all goes down IN DA CLUB.
