I used to be a diehard Nicole-on-the-red-carpet fan, but her choices lately leave me baffled. Taupe ruffles and pink for a music awards show? Not so sure. And Kate's chest-baring look caused lots of gossip tongues to say she practically had a wardrobe malfunction. The important thing here is that I don't care what anybody but you has to say. Were these fashion risks hits or misses? (Photo Credit: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)

I'm strangely fascinated by women who enjoy strolling casually through the stores and seem like they have nothing better to do than shop. I am not one of those women, even though my job requires me to spend a ridiculous amount of time shopping. I like to get in a store, and get out. Shopping fast = shopping smart in my book. For example, I never shop during peak shopping hours (sorry, Black Friday retailers, but you'll never see me.)

Kids and husbands: It's not that we don't appreciate the effort you put into holiday shopping. We do! It's just that, well, the economy is still somewhat shaky and we'd hate to see you waste your hard-earned money on something we moms don't really and truly want.

This weekend my fabulous video crew and I wrapped production on how to add a personal style stamp to your wardrobe. This first video is about how to work your passion into your unique look, and since my passions are horses and the Western lifestyle, I just had to show you some ideas for this first. In this shot, I'm wearing a sumptuous brown velvet shirt, vintage turquoise and insanely cute turquoise cutout boots (shirt and boots from Sheplers.com) Believe it or not, I actually catch a gun on the video, but you'll have to wait to see that in the final version to be published here. Or you can Fan me on Facebook for more behind-the-scenes pics. (Photo Credit: Angela M. Patterson)
