If you're interested in fashion and style, the actress Gwyneth Paltrow has a great website called www.qoop.com. She produces well thought out articles on fashion, beauty, philosophy, and overall well-being. She also does commentary on books and recommends different things. She's one of my favorite actresses. I think she's very interesting. The Daily Candy also has great fashion tips and articles. It's also a marketing/public relations website, so many of the articles are selling a product. It's still a fun website to browse. www.thedailycandy.com
