Becky Bloomwood, America`s favorite shopaholic, is back in a hilarious, heartwarming tale of married life, best friends, and long-lost sisters (and the perils of simply having to own an Angel handbag!). What`s a round-the-world honeymoon if you can`t buy the odd souvenir to ship back home? Like the twenty silk dressing gowns Becky found in Hong Kong… the hand-carved dining table (and ten chairs) from Sri Lanka… the, um, huge wooden giraffes from Malawi (that her husband Luke expressly forbade her to buy)… Only now Becky and Luke have returned home to London and Luke is furious. Two truckloads of those souvenirs have cluttered up their loft, and the bills for them are outrageous. Luke insists Becky go on a budget. And worse: her...

For once in Becky Bloomwood`s life, things are going smoothly. She`s got the dream job as a personal shopper (spending other people`s money - and getting paid for it.) She`s got a fabulous Manhattan apartment with her boyfriend Luke. They`ve even opened a joint bank account (although they can`t quite agree on whether a Miu Miu skirt counts as a household expense). Then Luke proposes - and all of a sudden life gets hectic. Becky`s Mum wants her to get married in Oxshott and wear her old frilly wedding dress. Luke`s mother wants to host a grand extravaganza at the New York Plaza, complete with woodland glade and the New York Philharmonic. Becky knows she has to sit down and decide - but to be honest, it`s a lot more fun tasting cake,...

Becky`s life is blooming. She`s working at London`s newest fashion store, The Look, house-hunting with husband Luke (her secret wish is a Shoe Room) ... and she`s pregnant! She couldn`t be more overjoyed - especially since discovering that shopping cures morning sickness. Everything has got to be perfect for her baby: from the designer nursery ... to the latest, coolest pram ... to the celebrity, must-have obstetrician. But when the celebrity obstetrician turns out to be her husband Luke`s glamorous, intellectual ex-girlfriend, Becky`s perfect world starts to crumble.
For Becky Bloomwood, life is peachy. She has a job on morning TV, her bank manager is actually being nice to her, and when it comes to spending money her new motto is Buy Only What You Need - and she`s really (sort of) sticking to it. The icing on the brioche is that she`s been offered a chance to work in New York. New York! The Museum of Modern Art! The Guggenheim! The Metropolitan Opera House! And Becky does mean to go to them all. Honestly. It`s just that it seems silly not to check out a few other famous places first. Like Saks. And Barneys. And one of those fantastic sample sales where you can get a Prada dress for $10. Or was it $100?
