People love to ask me what I read in my Google Reader. Now you know I'm all about fashion but I read a number of blogs for a number of reasons and although my reader is always full, I feel that these are my top 5 that I check out each day (in some cases throughout)

5. Beauty Sweet Spot: I love reading about various items going on in beauty. Although I cover beauty, you know Kitten Lounge only does this on one day. Jeannine Morris, is a TV personality and editor in chief of this site. If you haven't caught her on various spots for morning shows or E!'s Emmy Red Carpet Pre Show, you're missing out. She is my go to when it comes to what's out there and what I should be keeping an eye out on. In addition, she is a friend that I enjoy hanging out with as I've known her for the past year and you will see her within my reality episode of To Be a Star which comes out early next year.

4. Golf Girl: I met Patricia earlier this year at the PGA Golf Show in Orlando. I've been a fan of her site as she covers golf and fashion, specifically, female golfers. Being someone that is starting to take up the sport again, I love hearing about new items that are coming in the market and also the fashions that such golfers as Lorena Ochoa and Christie Kerr are wearing! She is a must to read and is super cute as she makes her own videos as well!

3. Purple Blab Karen Robinovitz is the Creatrix of Purple Lab, a beauty line that has fab glosses such as Huge Lips, Skinny Hips. What I love about it is that I think that she has created an amazing team that has a focus on social media. Not only does her team have their own accounts so that you know each member as a distinct personality; however, her blog is more of a guide on how she is creating her business. It's not about sugar coating or making the story anything then it is - a business that is made by sweat and tears. If you ever considered going into any business, this is a must and being of a friend of Karen's, you get her personality and she is very much every bit of the person that you read online! Read her blog and you get the journey!

2. Elle Blog: I love Joe Zee and I have always been a fan of Elle so I'm always checking in with what they have going on! I'd say that it is probably the only "traditional" fashion magazine that has an online presence that I follow. It's a quick read and I think they do a fab job.

1. Mashable: My world is one that includes fashion, blogs, my jewelry line and social media. For me, it's essential that I stay in touch with new plaforms, widgets and more that can assist me in interacting with my readers and to assist companies when I freelance with them on their projects. I think it's essential to stay educated .

With New Years Eve coming, I thought it was essential that you guys see what I stay connected to and that if you hadn't had a chance to read these items, then you should! What are you guys reading and what gets you through the day in the worlds of fashion, lifestyle, tech, etc.
