Guess who I just got off the phone with?! My old friend Patricia Field. She did the wardrobe for the upcoming fashion flick Confessions of a Shopaholic. Look at this picture — does it not scream Patricia Field? The colors, the accessories — no wonder Rebecca Bloomwood is sulking having to clean out her closet.
I remember when I spoke with her about the Sex and the City Movie wardrobe, she talked about the importance of vintage and breaking the fashion rules. Same mentality goes for this film, but this character, only one fashion-loving female, buys clothes every day, everywhere. She is, after all, a shopaholic. Patricia, who does "volume fashion," is the go-to costume designer for any fashion-heavy film, so we can't wait for this one. Plus, Isla Fisher is so adorable and freakin' hilarious — according to Patricia, Isla "just got it" when getting into the clothes and the clotheshorse character. Stay tuned for my exclusive interview with Patricia closer to the film release, Feb. 13. Hmm, the first day of New York Fashion Week, coincidence? . . .

I'm kind of sick of things about women who are obsessed with shoes.
I'm also kind of sick of characters styled by Patricia Field who look like idiots.
Isla is adorable though, I think she's a really good comedic actress.
1sorry kiki tee but i really wish i have all those pairs in my wardrobe!
2I adored these books.
3I don't care much for the book series, but I think Isla Fisher is the cutest, so I might end up seeing the movie...
4I read one of those books and threw it down in disgust. Cute character, but horribly written. Meh.
5I loved reading these books, but the way the movie seems to be portraying Rebecca Bloomwood seems like a joke. I love Pat Fields and all her work on SATC but i have to say the pictures I've seen from confessions of a shopaholic make her look RIDICULOUS. I know Carrie Bradshaw could look silly sometimes but that was her character, this is NOT the character Sophie Kinsella wrote about in the Shopaholic Series. Yes she had a shopping problem but did not go out dressed looking like a cartoon character.
6Ha, not bad...
7Eye candy...I am excited and cant wait to see the movie. I hope the storyline isnt too dumb.
8omg..im kinda sad at the fact this could easily be my room! I have a shoe rack my boy built me but have shoes that dont fit lined up ALLLLL over my floor. and a double closet yet I still have one of those rolling hangers for some of my vintage dresses..i have a problem..jeez louise
o...forgot about all the racks for my bags too
9i cant totally relate to her
10im bad at saving money and i get chills when i see great clothes : (
can**
11i'm a shopaholic and i won't be changing anytime soon:)
12i like isla and, though i've never read the books, i think i'm going to see this movie. seems cute
I'm a shopaholic and I know it.
I just refuse to admit it when other people call me it.
I should go to Shopaholics Anonymous...
But seriously, I considered freeezing my credit card like she did in the movie...
13It's like my paycheck screams "Spend me on beautiful things... Go ahead. Why would you want to keep me locked away in a savings account?"
The first thing I noticed was the GIGANTIC size of a few pairs of these shoes in the picture. The silver ones on the top row of that shoe rack look like they're a size 15 or something. Loved the book series, hope the movie doesn't ruin it.
14i thought these books were super fun. i just can't get over the fact that they are making her american. it doesn't make any sense to me. plus, i think book 2 or 3 is about her coming to america! what are they gonna do, take her to england?! there were just certain aspects that were so quintessentially british that i don't know how well it will work. high fidelity translated to chicago from london so i guess anything is possible
15I just looked at the shoes and my eyes teared up. I think I'm a shopaholic. YIKES !
16i don't like readin books anyway , but a fashion movie???? i am all 4 it!
