Lauren ("LC") moves from Laguna Beach to Los Angeles where she plans to apply for an internship at Teen Vogue and attend fashion school. Alongside her is best friend Heidi who is pretty much just into the party scene. The real test of Lauren's new life is if she can juggle work, school, and partying. However, no matter where she goes, drama always seems to follow.

Lauren has to face her boss after the party. Meanwhile, Heidi doesn't take school seriously and makes different plans for her future.

Lauren gets an assignment to fly to New York and deliver a dress for a fashion show. Heidi is faced with the reality of her "dream job" because she is expected to do work.

Lauren receives flowers and another phone call from Jason. Heidi almost calls it quits from her job at Bolthouse Productions after being told that she cannot travel to Las Vegas with her co-workers as she is not yet 21.

After a Teen Vogue event, Lauren hurries home as it's Jason's birthday. However, things don't go well as Jason only wants to hang out with his friends.

Heidi gets her big chance to work in the nightclub scene, but it happens to fall on her anniversary. While at a Teen Vogue fashion show, Whitney is asked to walk the runway since a model is a no show. Meanwhile, Jason does his best to get Lauren to pay more attention to him, and less to work and school.

As the holiday season comes around, Lauren, Heidi, Jason and Jordan are ready to celebrate. However, things don't go so well. While at a New Year's Eve party Lauren and Jason have a big fight, causing Lauren to storm off with Heidi.

Heidi and Jordan's relationship starts to go downhill as Heidi starts to realize that she may not feel true love for Jordan.

Lauren and Jason make plans to spend the summer together, but their plans take a turn when Lauren is offered a summer job in Paris, France.
