LA received a heavy dose of hotness yesterday when Victoria's Secret Angels Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel and Karlie Kloss took over a swanky Hollywood Hills crib to promote the brand's sassy 2013 Swim collection. The poolside bash featured a fresh juice bar, an ice cream sandwich station, VS-themed manicures and one-on-one time with the genetically-blessed trio.

After browsing the collection's skin-baring silhouettes and simultaneously renewing our gym memberships, we sat down with Kloss to drink juice, talk LA and hear more about her summer plans. (Hint: She's stoked about a certain desert music festival.)

You're really enjoying that drink. What flavor did you get?
"Strawberry and banana. I'm a huge fan of strawberry-banana anything. This is so delicious. On a super unhealthy side note, have you ever had Cold Stone Creamery? They have this thing where they chop up ice cream and fold in fresh strawberries and bananas. It's amazing!"

Mmmm. Have you had a chance to try LA's plethora of juice bars?
"There's this one place called Pressed Juicery; I stock up on all their juices whenever I'm in town. My favorite is the Roots 3, which consists of beet, apple, lemon and ginger."

How long have you been in town?
"Only 12 hours and I leave tonight! I wish I had more time here because I love it here. I could totally live in California."

We'd love to have you. What's your advice to Cali girls looking for swimwear?
"Buy something that you feel comfortable in and always have your swimsuit on underneath your clothing so you're ready to hit the beach anytime. Victoria's Secret has some great cover-ups, too. You know, I'm so jealous of Cali girls—they always look effortlessly cool and their attitude is so relaxed. All my coolest friends are from California. That's it—I'm going to move out here!"

Until you move here, do you have any plans to visit again soon?
"Yes! I'm obsessed with Coachella and will definitely be going this summer. I love the way girls dress at Coachella. Wear a swimsuit underneath your cutoff denim shorts and you're good to go."
