There are three things I always do as soon as I wake up: check my texts, check my Facebook notifications, and check my Twitter. That’s right- I’m obsessed with Twitter. If you’re an addict like yours truly, you love reading your friends’ random thoughts and the latest on your favorite celebrities. Fashionistas, it’s time to give your Twitter feed a very chic makeover by following style mavens, designers, and publications. But who exactly are you supposed to follow? Here are ten awesome Twitter accounts you must follow. If you don’t, you’re committing a major fashion faux pas.

1. Diane von Furstenberg (@DVF)
Who doesn’t like Diane von Furstenberg? From her brand’s feminine and chic aesthetic to her lovable personality, Diane von Furstenberg is the reigning queen of fashion. She tweets all about her chic adventures as well as inspirational quotes. How nice!
Favorite Tweet: “Beauty is perfect in its imperfections…enjoy who you are! love Diane”

2. Derek Blasberg (@DerekBlasberg)
If you’re not familiar with this fashionisto, I suggest you follow him ASAP. Here’s a crash-course in all things Blasberg: he’s an Editor- at- Large at Harper’s Bazaar and wrote the hysterical fashion book Classy: Exceptional Advice for the Extremely Modern Lady. With Mr. Blasberg, expect a quirky array of chic and hilarious tweets. Both of them are sure to make you smile!
Favorite Tweet: “Random Question: How long do you think we have to wait before roller-blading is cool again? (I’ve saved my blades from 1999, just in case.)”
