How to Shop in a Hurry
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.)

What Not to Buy Mom for Christmas
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.

Western Style: It's a Wrap!
Western Style: It's a Wrap! originally appeared on About.com Women's Fashion on Monday, November 16th, 2009 at 18:28:17.
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)
How to Walk in High Heels
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.

What to Wear If You Are Hosting Thanksgiving
I can't remember the last time I actually let someone else do the Thanksgiving cooking for me (OK, so I cheat a bit and cater most of it.) But I do usually host a famly Thanksgiving at my house. One lesson I've learned is to save the droopy bows and long sleeves (gravy bowl casualty!) for events where you won't be stuck in the kitchen most of the day.

Leggings: Warmth, Comfort and Chic

I have this theory that the colder it gets, the more we crave comfort everything: comfort food, comfy home environment and definitely comfy clothing. That's where leggings come in. As a layering piece, leggings are perfect to transition your warm-weather clothes to winter-ready outfits. Just layer leggings under tunics and dresses to instantly warm them up. But beyond the warmth factor, leggings add another benefit: they are so comfy and cozy. Although I love my jeans, I have to admit that nothing compares to the comfort factor of a stretchy legging.

What to Wear Now: Oversized Cardigans
The one purchase I've already gotten the most use out of this season is my oversized, chunky cardigan. I like to wear mine with skinny jeans and tees, but it would go just as well with leggings. If you haven't tried this trend yet, you will surprised at how a simple shift in proportion -- to a longer sweater -- makes your basics look new again.

How to Wear Ankle Boots
Become a Women's Fashion Fan on Facebook How to Wear Ankle Boots originally appeared on About.com Women's Fashion on Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 at 12:41:01.
The trick to pulling off ankle boots is to make sure the proportion of your outfit is right by pairing ankle boots with pieces that really work: short skirts, leggings and skinny jeans. Jennifer Lopez (left) pulls off the look by topping it off with a black jacket (balances out the harshness of the bootie) and bare legs (sexy!) I like to wear ankle boots with skinny jeans and black tights because, well, it's easy and flattering. But there are so many ways to pull off ankle boots that there's something for every girl.

5 Things You Should Never Wear
Become a Women's Fashion Fan on Facebook 5 Things You Should Never Wear originally appeared on About.com Women's Fashion on Thursday, October 29th, 2009 at 12:31:41.
Lots of things bother me: Uggs, white shoes of any kind, long print maxi dresses. But there are only 5 things I say you should never, ever wear as a grown woman. See what my fashion pet peeves are (Hint: I hate overalls on grown women. I don't even care that Martha Stewart thinks it's a good look for her.) Then chime in with your own ideas about what grown women shouldn't wear. (Photo Credit: Plush Studios/Getty images)

Pills, Thrills and and Couture
Textile artist Susie Freeman and practising GP Dr Liz Lee, are an unlikely twosome for an artistic collaboration. More unusual is the work they create - clothes that seem fluffy and frivolous but actually draw attention to medical matters.
Susie Freeman and Liz Lee are old school friends and Susie explains how their collaboration developed: 'We chat like all women do. Liz was very interested in family planning, and wanted to raise awareness of contraceptive methods available.' Around the same time, a U.S. gallery which sold Susie's work, commissioned one of her textile garments decorated with pills. Susie hadn't made such a piece but the mistaken request sparked an idea - combine Susie's dramatic fabrics with Liz's medical objectives.
Their idea, which they called Inside Out, won them a Sci-Art Award in 1998 - a grants scheme sponsored by the Wellcome Trust encouraging collaborations between scientists and artists. This set them on the path of 'drawing attention to medical decisions that people make', enabling Susie and Liz 'to express the thought processes and emotions involved when patients make decisions about medical treatment.' ... Susie Freeman's and Dr Liz Lee's work can be viewed at: Contemporary Applied Arts, 2 Percy Street, London W1P 9FA (enquiries call 020 7436 2344) and from 19 July - 27 August at Fact, Fantasy and Pharmacopoeia, MAC, Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham B12 9QH (enquiries: 0121 440 3838).

Prepare to Wear
04 Jul 03 Paris is abuzz with preparation for Haute Couture Week which kicks off on Monday. As international press, editors and high brow couture clients prepare to enjoy the bi-annual extravaganza of fashion supersights, from the likes of John Galliano at Dior, Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, Valentino and Julien Macdonald at Givenchy, some fashionistas are simply gearing up for a week of seriously glamorous parties. First on the agenda is ex-Scherrer designer Ritu Beri, who will get everybody in the mood with a soiree on Sunday night to celebrate her autumn/winter collection. Next up, ex-Yves Saint Laurent muse Loulou de la Falaise is expecting 200 of her very closest friends and press pals to celebrate the jewellery range she designed to accompany the couture line that she launched in February. Wednesday night's highlight will be a glittering bash thrown by the Gucci-owned Boucheron label - expect a full Gucci turnout, including Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen and Tom Ford. Finally, Paris' fashion governing body, the Chambre Syndicale, will host the final evening's gala which will see between 700-800 of the world's most fashionable players sipping the best Champagne and nibbling canapés in the gardens of the Sacretariat.
