Flipside of retail therapy

I love to shop, but I am not a shopaholic. I placed myself in this category after reading Sophie Kinsella’s Shopaholic series of novels, which had convinced me that I do not, I repeat, do not have a serious shopping problem.

For those clueless to this chick lit, the series follows the life of Becky Bloomwood through her adventures in life and her serious addiction to shopping — and I am not even close to her manic compulsion for retail therapy, hence my self-belief that I love to shop, but I am not a shopaholic.
