Becky Bloomwood's Pink Mac Laptop

I love Confessions of a Shopaholic and am always down to watch it again.

I love Confessions of a Shopaholic and am always down to watch it again. It's a lighthearted twist on serious issues like going into debt and dealing with sticky work situations such as office romance.

I was checking out some Labor Day sales and noticed Apple is having a Labor Day special, offering $200 rebates and free iPod touches to students who buy a laptop. For those of you looking to jump on this deal and want to jazz your new laptop up Becky Bloomwood-style, check out MacBook cases by Speck ($50). Or for the more expensive option, you can also buy your Mac from ColorWare and have it professionally colored.

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue.

Confessions of a Shopaholic
Sometimes I just want to stick in a funny, feel-good movie about someone who learns a lesson and finds love. Even if said movie is about excessive shopping and comes in the midst of hard economic times, it can be a welcome bit of escapism. Plus, Isla Fisher is really funny and I like seeing her in a starring role.

Confessions of a Shopaholic follows Rebecca (Fisher), a woman with an addiction to shopping who dreams of writing for a fashion magazine. Instead of fashion, Rebecca winds up writing for a financial magazine — and she's surprisingly good at it. Eventually, though, she spends more than she earns and comes very close to losing everything, including her best friend (Krysten Ritter) and her adorable love interest played by Hugh Dancy. Joan Cusack and John Goodman also star as Rebecca's parents.

Special features include bloopers, deleted scenes and a "Stuck With Each Other" music video by Shontelle featuring Akon.

Shopaholic Designer Patricia Field Explains Shopping in Moderation

If the movie ticket price prevented you from seeing Confessions of a Shopaholic in the theaters, you may be excited to know the fun film came out on DVD today — an entertaining night doesn't get much cheaper than a $5 movie and homemade popcorn.

If the movie ticket price prevented you from seeing Confessions of a Shopaholic in the theaters, you may be excited to know the fun film came out on DVD today — an entertaining night doesn't get much cheaper than a $5 movie and homemade popcorn. In light of the movie making its way to more of the masses, the film's costume designer Patricia Field talked to Shape magazine about her tips for shopping with a budget. Anyone with an appreciation or affliction for shopping, take note.

When asked if she thinks certain items are worth a splurge, the accomplished designer replied:

It depends on what makes you happy. If you see something and you love it, but maybe it's a little more than you want to spend, then buy it. Just don't spend as much on the next item. It's all about balancing. You should splurge on what's really special. Really you're the most important thing, not the clothes.

And there you have it, a simple lesson on shopping in moderation from fashion phenom Patricia Field. Have you found a balance when it comes to shopping?

I Want This Wardrobe: Confessions of a Shopaholic, Rebecca Bloomwood Rebecca Bloomwood's plaid ensemble might be one of her tamer choices of the bunch, but it's still oozing with quirky fun. Her Byron Lars plaid dress makes a loud statement on its own, but the stylista took it up a notch by accessorizing with a wide cinched belt, thigh-high socks, and platform pumps by Steve Madden Luxe. Who would have ever thought that plaid could look so polished?

Rebecca Bloomwood's plaid ensemble might be one of her tamer choices of the bunch, but it's still oozing with quirky fun. Her Byron Lars plaid dress makes a loud statement on its own, but the stylista took it up a notch by accessorizing with a wide cinched belt, thigh-high socks, and platform pumps by Steve Madden Luxe. Personally, I would nix the socks and just wear the dress with flat boots. Who would have ever thought that plaid could look so polished?

Hands down, the dancing scene in Confessions of a Shopaholic was the most hilarious. I could hardly contain my laughter, but when I did, I noticed Rebecca's salsa-inspired outfit. It was perfect for Miami. While her boss Luke Brandon looked preppy in khakis and a chambray shirt, Rebecca played it sassy like her other ensembles. She wore a neon green Louis Vuitton top, white Vivienne Westwood skirt, topped with a Judith Leiber belt, and finished with lavender and turquoise Miu Miu platforms. As for the colorful fan in her hand? You'll have to watch and see how she uses it as a comical prop. I'm giggling just thinking about it!
