THE DESTINATION: Beverly Hills
WHO SHOULD GO: Fashionistas and devoted watchers of Access Hollywood.
HOW BIG YOUR GROUP SHOULD BE: Bring two or three of your nearest … any more and you risk too many opinions in the dressing room.
WHAT TO DO: Ooh and ahh along the three blocks of Rodeo Drive (think Cavalli, Ferragamo, Valentino), then hit shop-lined Beverly Drive. And be sure not to miss Robertson Boulevard, about a mile east of Rodeo, for celeb-frequented, fashion-forward boutiques like Nanette Lepore, Lisa Kline, Alice + Olivia and Anya Hindmarch.
EATING AND DRINKING: Coupa Cafe (419 North Canon Drive, 310-385-0420, coupacafe.com) offers the perfect pre-spree breakfast, and The Farm of Beverly Hills (439 North Beverly Drive, 310-273-5578, thefarmofbeverlyhills.com) is California fresh. Enjoy cocktails and make-your-own s’mores at Bo (The Crescent Hotel, 403 North Crescent Drive, 310-247-0505, crescentbh.com).
SLEEPING: Reserve a two-bedroom suite at The Mosaic Hotel, where you’ll get enough space to put on a runway show with the day’s purchases and complimentary about-town car service in a Land Rover LR3. Standard rooms start at $400 a night (mosaichotel.com).
PSST!: Book a table at Cut, Wolfgang Puck’s steakhouse (9500 Wilshire Boulevard, 310-276-8500, wolfgangpuck.com) — it’s at the Beverly Wilshire, so you’ll get to see where Pretty Woman was filmed.
