Get the Look: Cher's Black & White Outfit from Clueless
Clueless is a 1990s cult classic. If you haven't seen it, I encourage you to watch it as soon as you can. It's one of my top favorite movies ever; I've mentioned it a couple times: Halloween Costume Idea. There are so many wonderful & memorable outfits from the film, & they'll leave you lusting for your own version. I want to highlight Cher's black & white look from the beginning of the film because it's simple, approachable, & easy to recreate.
The best part is you may have most of these items in your wardrobe. They're wearable & versatile garments you can utilize over & over. The first thing you'll need is a sheer black button-up shirt with a white cropped tank top underneath. It's easy, breezy, beautiful. Cher's sheer shirt has ruffled cuffs so you can keep that in mind if you want to be authentic. But you go could for a white tank with a black/sheer shirt.
The next thing you'll need is a pair of black trousers. Most of us probably already have these for formal days, job interviews, work, whatever. They are sleek & the perfect way to wear pants. Cher's trousers are slightly baggier, but I prefer something more fitted. It's the ideal way to modernize a 90s inspired outfit.
Oxford shoes are having a huge come back. They're all over the place & they are pretty easy to find. You may want to go for a pair of shiny, chunky oxford shoes. They are nearly identical to the ones that you could see Cher wearing in Clueless.
In the film, Cher wears a choker necklace, a beaded cross necklace, & a simple ring. Keep the look clean & elegant with a darling beaded necklace. A beaded necklace can be used in a myriad of ways so you won't be left owning something that you never use.
Clueless has so many awesome outfits it's hard to ignore. Try to pull together this look with items you have in your closet. See how close you can get to the original & then you can integrate a couple pieces from your own wardrobe.

Things To Do in Gouda, Holland (The Netherlands)
Gouda is one of my favorite types of cheeses. What is gouda? The cheese tastes creamy & rich; the soft texture that makes almost melt in your mouth, making nearly irresistible to munch on. It's similar to Havarti cheese in that way.
That's why I was so excited when Gouda, a city in the Netherlands, made its way onto my family's radar during our Europe trip. I made sure we put it on the itinerary because I just had to see where the famous cheese hailed from. There are a few things to do if you're visiting Gouda, Holland.
The city of Gouda is a Dutch cheese town. While Gouda is world-famous for its cheese, it's also recognized for smoking pipes & stroopwafels — a waffle sandwich made from two extremely thin layers of baked batter with a caramel syrup filling in the middle aka a gift from the heavens. Stroopwafels were invented in Gouda! How cool is that?! Side note: I ate soooo0oo many stroopwafels on my trip; they're incredible. If you have access to an international market, keep your eyes out for them. Or you can buy stroopwafels online.
The Gouda market square has a gorgeous gothic city hall that's hard to miss & beautiful to photograph. You can explore the town, the Gouda market, the shops, & everything in between in a day. Gouda is a relatively small place but there's still plenty of things to do in town. You can appreciate it for a few hours or stay overnight.

Munching on local delicacies is one of my favorite things to do in Europe. The Netherlands is particularly known for their apple tarts so I recommend eating them as often as possible. While I was there, the indulgence was real. The apple tart in Gouda had giant chunks of apple. Soft on the outside with a slightly crispy interior. An absolute delight.
What is Gouda?
Since Gouda cheese hails from Gouda, Netherlands (duh), you have the opportunity to sample product like you're the queen (or king) of the world. Coconut gouda, pesto gouda, paprika gouda, fenugreek gouda. All the gouda cheese flavors of the rainbow. It's something I still dream about. I tell you what: there's no gouda like the gouda from Gouda. Say that fast 10 times!

If you make it out to the Dutch cheese town of Gouda, be sure to take the time to eat any of the local food. I drooled at every bakery & cafe & restaurant I walked by. One of the best parts of traveling is tasting various types of cuisine. Eating out can get expensive so it's important to understand how to eat on a budget while traveling abroad. How cute are these fruit-inspired gummy candies?!?
Looking for a hotel in Gouda, Netherlands? Here are some options - just put in your check-in & check-out dates to see what's available:

The canals of Holland are magnificent. Each one has its own personality & ranges in every city. Back in the day, the canals were used for water management, transportation, & defense purposes. As the times changed, the canals are normally utilized for recreational activities like canal tours. Gouda continues to use the tradition of canals with some unique cheese-inspired decorations.
My experience in Gouda, Netherlands was delicious but brief. Take a look at the town center or the local shops, & make sure you stop to enjoy a pastry & some cheese. Walk around the Gouda market square. Grab a wheel of gouda cheese to go as your own edible souvenir. Gouda is an old town with a lot of character. It remains fondly in my heart.
Have you visited Gouda? Have you eaten the cheese? :]

35+ Bath & Body Works Wallflower Refill Scents & Descriptions
Just because the holiday season is over doesn't mean you have to give up on the joyful festivities & the holiday aromas. After Christmas, I celebrated my second annual tradition of going to Bath & Body Works to restock on the Wallflower refills. Sales often depend on what is left in stock. If you want to learn more about them, take a look at my Bath & Body Works Wallflower Review; it has all the information you need to determine whether a Wallflower plug and fragrance refill is a good fit for you or not.
What's a Wallflower Plug In?
Wallflowers are a hassle-free way to have a constant wave of lovely scents waft through the room. It's an air freshener with a range of fragrances. Some fragrance refills are bold, while some scents are uplifting, some are relaxing or comforting. There are literally dozens and dozens of scents and plug-ins to choose from so you can find something that suits your taste.
Bath and Body Works labels the scents as such:
- Fruity & Happy
- Floral & Uplifting
- Fresh & Relaxing
- Warm & Comforting
*Updated as of September 2021.
Popular Bath Body Works Wallflowers fragrances |
I did some after Christmas shopping & splurged on these Wallflowers. I went all out & purchased 18 different fragrance refill scents! I even rejected a few just to cut down on the price. They were on sale for $3 a pop; their regular retail price is $6.50. Last year I bought them for $2.50 so their sale price went up.
How long do Bath and Body Works Wallflowers scents last? Each Wallflower fragrance refill acts as an air freshener. In smaller rooms, the fragrance refill lasts about four weeks/one month, so this batch is sure to get me through the whole year & then some -- approximately a year & a half.
If you have a larger room, the scent may only last a couple of weeks. Certainly, something to consider.

Some of these are very clearly Thanksgiving/autumn related aromas whereas others are Christmas/winter related. Given that each Wallflower is three bucks & will last me about 30 days, that adds up to about $.10 a day. That's not a bad figure at all. My boyfriend randomly chose one & we currently have Holiday Mulled Cider keeping the bedroom smelling fresh. Within about an hour I noticed the smell emitting from the Wallflower. It's noticeable but not overwhelming for your nose.
I would not purchase Bath Body Works Wallflowers fragrance refills at regular prices that's why I stock up once a year after Christmas. But sometimes you have to pay full price if you truly love something! Just plug it in and leave it be, it'll do its own thing as a room fragrance. You can buy the Wallflower fragrance refill online or pick up in store.
Do you have a Wallflower fragrance refill?
