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)

Oh, if only I had been able to use this video about How to Walk in High Heels as a guide earlier in my stiletto-wearing career. I could have avoided a broken foot, the occasional tripping (seeing Anna Wintour trip in heels outside a fashion show has helped me get over this, though) and other klutzified moments in heels.
