OMG can't wait to see this film! Shopping doesn't get funnier than this. LOL!
Love shopping? Then you'll love "Confessions of a Shopaholic" With a UK release date of Feb 20, this film, based on the books by Sophie Kinsella stars Isla Fisher of "Wedding Crashers". Who plays 25 year old RebbeccaBloomwood who rooms with her best mate in an uber-trendy part of NYC. Hopeless with money, her crappy 9-5 can't possibly sustain her shopping addiction can it?
Follow Becky as she attempts to cut back, raise more cash, snog Hugh Grant lookalike Luke Brandon and pay off her ever-growing debt mountain with hilarious consequences.

Boudoir Babes collection of fashion jewellery is an exciting mix of avant garde and beatnik jewellery from a British designer-maker. Hand picked by Bebe (pronounced be-be) for BoudoirBabe.co.uk
This month we're showcasing fashion jewellery by Rachel Entwistle; a designer whose talent and craftsmanship is of a high standard.
Rachel's silver and gemstone jewellery is bold, colourful and well crafted with clever use of semi-precious stones. Striking the right note, as a very wearable design statement!
So how and when did the idea for an online gift shop all come about?
The business was founded in 2001. At this point I sold children's gifts . The business has naturally evolved.
Where did the name Boudoir Babe originate from?
Boudoir Babe was the name of a feature article in a glossy magazine and the name stuck in my head ever since.
Do you come from retail or gift industry background?
No, but my business partner was originally in retail marketing which isn't far removed from the gift marketplace. While I'm a shopaholic with an eye for a bargain, so we make a good team.
What grabs your attention when looking for new gift ideas? I want to be excited! As a buyer, I'm looking for quirky, fun and unusual gifts that can't be found on the high street. Quality of the gifts I sell on Boudoir Babe is essential as bad quality reflects directly onto us as a business rather than the supplier.
How important is customer service?
I know everybody bangs on about the importance of good customer service, but few seem to follow through on it :-(
I'd rather be told I'm doing something wrong, so I can put things right ;-) Part of me truly believes that most online retailers don't mean to provide poor customer service but are let down by lack of understanding or haven't really given it much thought. As a customer and owner of Boudoir Babe, I feel a responsibility to look inwards at my website from a customers point of view. Is my website well signposted, are my FAQs up to date, any broken links, script problems or 404 pages?
Plans for the future? I'm passionate about gifts so I plan to visit many more gift fairs, craft fairs, gift markets, street fairs, art & craft festivals throughout the year to find innovative, quality gifts.
