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.

(Gee, I wonder why I’m a fan???)

This movie is beyond self-referential, it’s hilarious and cool, and I think everyone I know who saw it got a kick out of it.
Like, the all-important scarf.
Or the temple of shopping.

This movie is based on Sophie Kinsella’s best selling novels of the same name, about a fashion-loving New Yorker writer who trades frocks for finance and finds love! (Well, with a little drama in between.)

Even if you saw the movie already, you will want to read on, look what you will find on the Blue-Ray and DVD!

Both the Blu-ray Hi-Def and DVD Editions of Confessions of a Shopaholic include:

• Bloopers
• Deleted Scenes
• “Stuck with Each Other” Music Video by Shontelle Featuring Akon

Plus, available exclusively on Blu-ray Hi-Def:
• “Accessory” Music Video by Jordan Taylor

• “Takes Time to Love” Music Video by Trey Songz

Rebecca to take desperate measures!
*New York Fashion Central – A style-centric tour of the home of more shopaholics
per square foot than anywhere else on the planet.

This may be one of the most exciting contests – or posts, period – that I’ve done in recent memory.

Do you remember green scarf that played as pivotal a role in Confessions of a Shopaholic as any of the characters? That crinkled green scarf was not only Isla Fischer’s signature wardrobe item, but it pretty much defined her character – from beginning to end!

I have found it!!! By Collection Eighteen, it is available at ChickDowntown.com - but I have ONE here to give away to an incredibly lucky winner.

To have your chance to win, tell me your favorite shopaholic-type memory.

Deadline May 20.
