Any true fashion lover knows how addictive buying that piece of clothing that caught your eye, or those shoes or bag that would go perfectly with your new outfit, can be. Some can control their shopping habits, but some simply can not resist, even when they can't afford it.
And that is the story of Rebecca Bloomwood, the central character in the upcoming movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic." Played by the beautiful Isla Fisher, the 25 year-old fashionista is extremely obsessed with shopping. All she needs is a little credit!
The film is an adaptation of the novel "The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic" by British writer Sophie Kinsella, and directed by P. J. Hogan.
The movie is sure to be a big hit with the fashion lovers, as it has already acquired a cult following in the fashion blogs.
Confessions of a Shopaholic is currently in post-production and is set to be released in February 2009.
Would the movie be as influential and successful as the Sex and the City movie? We’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, check out this cluster of all things Sex and the City.
