IN the glamorous world of New York City, Rebecca Bloomwood is a fun-loving girl who is really good at shopping - a little too good, perhaps.

She dreams of working for her favourite fashion magazine, but can't quite get her foot in the door.

Ironically, she then snags a job as an advice columnist for a financial magazine published by the same company.

As her dreams are finally coming true, she goes to ever more hilarious and extreme efforts to keep her past from ruining her future.

Isla Fisher stars in CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC (PG) along with Joan Cusack, John Goodman, John Lithgow and Kristin Scott.

Revered costume designer Patricia Field - who has designed for Sex and the City and was nominated for an Academy Award for her fashions in The Devil Wears Prada - created the colourful looks for Rebecca.
