A Chat With Isla Fisher: Fellow Shopaholic

If you haven’t noticed from last week’s Confessions of a Shopaholic contest (still going on!), I’m super excited about the June 23rd DVD release of Confessions of a Shopaholic. And why not? It’s about a broke fashion junkie journalist who writes about BUDGETING…and has boy problems. It’s totally the most realistic movie of all time!

And, I’m even MORE excited that we have a rare treat: A Q&A with Isla Fisher herself – about, of course – SHOPPING. (Cause what else would it be about???)

Are you a Shopaholic?

No I am not a Shopaholic, I don’t shop very well at all. I tend to buy things which end up not being quite right – whether it is a clothing item that does not match anything in my wardrobe, or some cooking apparatus that is utterly useless. I am just not that good at it.

What was your favorite outfit in “Confessions of a Shopaholic”?

I liked the purple dress that Rebecca wears on the TV show – I thought it was classy. But I am not too into fashion because I am more of a jeans and T-shirt girl. Thanks to Patricia Field I have become more confident about the way I dress. But I am more comfortable in trainers or Ugg boots.

Is it true you requested five-inch stilettos for this part?

I did. I thought there’s something funny about a Shopaholic impractically buying ridiculously high heels and tottering throughout the stores. I thought it would be amusing. But it was less amusing, of course, when I was actually doing it!

Did your feet ache at the end of each day?

Yes! My feet ached constantly, they really did! In my every day life I would not wear shoes like those.

How was working with costume designer Patricia Field on your wardrobe?

She’s incredibly imaginative. She’s not married to any designers and she’s open minded. Every single look tells a story.
