Los Angeles

Who: A gaggle of LA girls: Kristin Cavallari, Paris Hilton, Ashley Olsen and Lauren Conrad...

What: SBE Entertainment's latest endeavor--a sophisticated, visually intoxicating offering that conjures up epicurean cocktails inside a surreal lounge of Alice in Wonderland whimsy...

When: Arrive early or risk the brutal humiliation known as being turned away (or in S Bar doorman speak, "unable to be accommodated"...

Lauren also grabbed onto a white leather tote (check out Aaneta's Muddy Large Bag in White) while she perused the items at Barney's.
