Cher Horowitz, Not so ‘Clueless’ about what living in LA is like.

Clueless was the epitome of 90s style and Cher Horowitz is a fashion icon to girls everywhere. Behind the unforgettable ensembles, the popular girls living in Beverly Hills teaches us valuable knowledge about living in L.A.

1. It actually gets cold in L.A.- When I first moved here 6 months ago I was semi shocked to find that I needed to add a lot more sweaters to my wardrobe. Coming from the east coast I didn’t realize the humidity made such a difference. But, as I was re-watching Clueless I realized I should have totally caught on to this before. Clueless is actually set in the winter time in L.A and throughout the entire movie you see the cast in numerous layers, jackets and even ear muffs. This is amazing news for someone who cherishes my fall wardrobe!

2. “I had to find sanctuary in a place where I could gather my thoughts and regain my strength…” cuts to a wide shot of the Westside Pavillion mall. The malls in L.A. are truly places of sanctuary they are the most well designed malls I have truly seen. Even though we have Rodeo drive and so many shopping streets, there is always a reason to go out of the way to the amazing shopping malls, which Cher is doing in many scenes throughout the movie.

3. “What’s the point? Everywhere you go has Valet.” Cher’s take on why not to practice parallel parking nails the L.A. scene completely. Most of my friends from here don’t know how to parallel park because whether you’re going to dinner or hitting the club your car is being valleted.

4. “Searching for a boy in high school is as useless as searching for meaning in a Pauly Shore movie.” Ok, so I’m not in high school anymore but I think Cher had it a little wrong and her problem was actually not high school in general but California boys as a whole. The boys here a useless to search for, the dating scene is the most difficult of all time. Some of my most beautiful friends can’t even like a guy long enough to call him hers. For the most part, the boy’s here are either way to into themselves or gay. Another thing that Clueless warned us about!

5. “Where are you kuwait!!” Cher’s dad when she is in the valley. The valley is a hike (not like the basic Runyon hike you take to see the Hollywood sign.) It’s about an hour from us and almost like a foreign territory to us here over in Beverly Hills. Never stepping foot in the valley for a girl in Beverly Hills would be normal, and the plot reminds us to stay away with it ending with Cher mugged.

6. Cher: “Shopping with Dr. Suess?” Dion: “Well at least I didn’t skin a collie for my backpack!”- 2 best friends with COMPLETELY different taste in style. They both have it for sure but its totally different. This is too true. Rarely in NYC do you see two best friends walking around wearing entirely different styles of outfits, in L.A. best friends are like sugar and spice. They truly do have way more personal style and most likely two best friends will be dressed completely different. For example, my best friend here rocks sneakers and a men’s baseball hat most days while I’m alongside her head to toe in pink.

7. “I know it sounds mental but sometimes I have more fun vegging out than when I go out partying.” People go out less and stay in more in California. People love Home. Social events are held more home here and people aren’t always headed out into the bars or dinners or clubs here. People love house parties and casual nights in way more than they do in any other city.

8. Everywhere in L.A. takes 20 minutes: Cher’s Dad was right about this one! (Here she was in the valley) Beverly Hills is not only the home to the best shopping and beautiful homes, it’s also the most central place to live in L.A. You’re super close to the beach, downtown and everywhere you go will take about 20 minutes (without traffic)

9. “That came out of nowhere!”- People in LA are extremely bad drivers. It’s like as if everyone is photo editing for their instagram instead of paying attention to the road in front of them.

10. I remember thinking what the heck is Fred Segal? Fred Segal is a Hollywood exclusive high end department like store. Celebrities swoon for styles here and they have many locations throughout L.A.

11. There’s about 10 different ways to get from point A to point B in L.A. it’s beyond confusing and people always lead into fights about directions. Like Elton and Cher did at the end of the Christmas party.

12. If he doesn’t need me to help dress him what am I good for?! Honestly, if a guy is more stylish than me I’m either intimidated or think he’s gay. So many guys in L.A. scare me because there style is just too good. A guy can definitely care about his looks but I mean, if he’s more into his look than I am you can count me out.

13. Plastic surgery is extremely accepted in L.A. to be honest I feel like the odd one out not having any work done. Throughout the movie you also see shots of girls with bandages post nose jobs. What makes me happy though is that there is no sign of Cher getting anything done! My kind of girl.

14. “Its faux!” In response to Dion’s comment about her skinning a colie for her backpack. People in L.A. are much more conscious when it comes to faux fashion. I know a lot of brands are moving to this change worldwide but it seems much more of a problem to people in L.A. than anywhere else. (a complete vegan lifestyle)

15. “Okay, so you’re probably going, “Is this like a Noxzema commercial or what? But seriously, I actually have a way normal life for a teenage girl.” Cher was literally 100% serious with this statement and I seriously have not meant one person that grew up in Los Angeles that doesn’t have a totally whack sense of “normal.” People in L.A. truly have way more than necessary and think it’s “normal.”

16. “My trainers coming really early in the morning.” Working out is a part of everyday life, even on the weekend, and if you live here you probably have a trainer or a membership at equinox and soul sycle.

17. “You can’t hang with them unless you have a black BMW,” in regards to the group labeled “Persian Mafia.” This is too true! There are so many Persians in Los Angeles mainly in Beverly Hills and most of them really do drive BMW’s. You can also find most of them going to Urth Café and frequenting the Mondrian garden. If you don’t believe me watch mtvs “Persian version.”
