"You don't understand, this is an Alaïa. He's, like, a totally important designer!"

One film every girl must see is Clueless (1995).
Cher Horowitz is my messiah. At a tender age, I was introduced to Clueless, and from then I was hooked. I watched over and over again, and even set up a fairly profitable business at school making those famous 'fluffy' pens and pencils for my peers.
Based on Jane Austen's Emma, it follows Beverly Hills High-schooler and rich it girl Cher learning life lessons, all with one of the most wonder wardrobes ever to be made.
Full of knee high socks, plaid and headbands, this film has hugely influenced Gossip Girl, think Blair Waldorf as a 90's blonde swishy haired LA Girl.
















Cher's wise words.

Cher: He does dress better than I do, what would I bring to the relationship?
Cher: I feel like such a heifer. I had two bowls of Special K, 3 pieces of turkey bacon, a handful of popcorn, 5 peanut butter M&M's and like 3 pieces of licorice.
Cher: Do you prefer "fashion victim" or "ensembly challenged"?
Cher Horowitz: So okay, I don't want to be a traitor to my generation and all but I don't get how guys dress today. I mean, come on, it looks like they just fell out of bed and put on some baggy pants and take their greasy hair - ew - and cover it up with a backwards cap and like, we're expected to swoon? I don't think so.
Tai: Man, this party is ragin'.
Cher: Let's do a lap before we commit to a location.
