Are you a shopaholic?
No, not at all. I can safely say I am not a fashionista. I see something in the shop and bring it home and it looks terrible. What’s my weakness? I always buy hair bands and then lose them and later find them all around the house in random places.

Now that I’ve seen the movie, I have made screencaptures of all the online clips, trailers, tv spots and featurettes from Confessions of a Shopaholic. If you haven’t seen the movie and wish to avoid spoilers naturally be cautious upon viewing. People who already have might notice there are several missing scenes. I certainly hope these will make the DVD!

Isla attended the UK premiere of Confessions of a Shopaholic on Monday. She wore short black Jasmine Di Milo dress with sequins and a low back. Fisher accessories with a gold clutch by Lara Bohinc and chic Jimmy Choo Seattle strappy sandals. She looked incredibly beautiful as always!

Speaking of the movie. I managed to catch it myself this past weekend and really enjoyed it. It’s a really delightful movie. And of course, what can you not love about Miss Isla? She is so hilarious, a genuinely funny comedienne you root for all the way. Isla’s commitment to the character and her willingness to make a total fool of her self is why you love Rebecca so much. A must see for any Isla fans!

Confessions of a Shopaholic is now playing in North America and opens in the UK on Friday, Feb. 20.

Per usual reviews for Shopaholic (a rom com) are mixed. However in the early reviews flooding in, everyone has nothing but praise for Miss Fisher!

From Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Look, it’s not all bad. Director P.J. Hogan (My Best Friend’s Wedding) knows his way around this kind of farce. So does Fisher, an Aussie with a nifty American accent and a knack for building a frisky romance with Becky’s dreamy (and rich) Brit editor (Hugh Dancy, playing it all cute and pensive). Better yet, Fisher makes us believe that Becky can write a successful column about frugality while fighting the urge to shop-shop-shop. Hey, who better? In pushing the proposition that a shopaholic may be the best person to lead her fellow junkies to a safe zone in a squeezed economy, the movie may actually touch a chord. Confessions is no more than a painless time-waster. But the beguiling Fisher is well worth the investment.
