Lauren Conrad: Coachella Festival Newbie!

Lauren Conrad takes a seat on Shawn Pyfrom‘s lap as they chat with friends during the 2012 Coachella Music Festival on Saturday (April 14) in Indio, Calif.

The 25-year-old author wrote on her website in anticipation for the weekend, “I haven’t been to Coachella yet but I’ve heard nothing but good things so I am really excited to finally go.”

Lauren continued, “A bunch of my friends have been faithful Coachellers for years so I feel fortunate to be going with a group of seasoned attendees.”

Lauren (wearing a Juicy Couture hat) also joined Glee star Lea Michele at the LACOSTE L!VE desert pool party.
