Mischa Barton Gets Her Shop On

There’s no doubt that this week must be nerve-wracking for Mischa Barton, with the whole court case coming up on Thursday. And she’s handling it like any good celebrity gal would… she’s going shopping.

The O.C. actress was spotted out and about in Beverly Hills yesterday, undergoing a bit of retail therapy and looking chic. She wore a flowery dress with flat strappy sandals and a bangy hairdo that she just may have stolen from 1984.

At one point, Miss Barton stopped to chat with a friend as she sipped her smoothie beverage, constantly eyeing the shutterbugs that were slowly surrounding her.

Tomorrow (Thursday), Mischa’s lawyers will appear in Beverly Hills court to plea “No Contest” to DUI charges stemming from her arrest this past December. Part of the plea deal is that the marijuana possession charges will be dropped.

She’ll most likely pay a $1700 fine and agree to three years probation as a result of the crime. A rep from Barton’s legal team told press, “There’s a deal we’ll present Thursday. Obviously the court has to sign off. Mischa will not be in court.”
