Now that we’re entering the hottest part of summer, dressing for work is a real downer. (Well, for most people anyway—my commute involves walking from my bedroom to my home office. But trust me, I remember what it was like to try to look professional while avoiding a heatstroke on the way to the office. [...]

In celebration of my 100th blog post here at Extrabux (which almost slipped by without my notice last week—you can read my very first post here), I thought we could celebrate with a virtual picnic in the park. Want to join me? I made sure to save you a spot on my picnic blanket.

We’re inching our way toward summer, which means it’s prime season for graduation gift shopping. Have you decided what to buy for your favorite graduates? Looking back on my many graduations (high school, college, grad school), there are two types of gifts that stood out: the big-ticket items (like my first laptop—thanks, mom!) and the [...]

I need a purse that I can sling on my shoulder. If my bag is not somehow attached to my body, who knows what will happen to it? Well, actually, I do know. I’ll lose it. I’ll leave it on restaurant tables, coffee shop counters and anywhere else my hands deem fit to relieve themselves [...]

Motherhood may be rewarding, but it sure isn’t glamorous. Of course, I don’t have firsthand experience of exactly how unglamorous being a mom can be. But let’s just say that as a child (and admittedly as an adult, too), my cringe-worthy shenanigans have caused my mother plenty of embarrassment, exhaustion and general anxiety.

I admit it: I’ve been dragging my feet on the men of Glee fashion post. With the likes of Emma Pillsbury, the ladies of Glee are plenty inspiring. But the men? Well, there are football jerseys galore and boring blue jeans and the too-tight coach shorts of Ken Tanaka. So what’s a girl to write [...]

Anyone else feeling a wee bit giddy about Glee’s April 13 return from its four-month hiatus? It seems like it’s been ages since I’ve hummed along with the Golden Globe-winning Fox comedy. And I really, really could use a reminder of how Sue sees it.
All of this chatter about the Madonna episode (yay!) and rumored [...]

Two whole days have past since the Liberty of London collection hit Target shelves. Do you know what that means? It’s nearly all gone. (Yes, already.) I told you that such a juicy collaboration would be pillaged quickly.  But don’t worry, there is still plenty of pillaging to be had.
Of course, I [...]

I am the queen of bad hair days. And my stints in front of the mirror typically go something like this: long tresses, short timeframe to whip them into compliance. This is why I’ve developed an unhealthy dependence on hair accessories, specifically of the headband variety.
When I don’t have 20 minutes (usually after a hit-the-snooze-button-again [...]

Wouldn’t it be dreamy if you discovered a weathered trunk—let’s say in your grandmother’s attic—that held the most breathtaking antiqued lace pretties? The kind of pieces that are just begging for you to breathe life into them. I experienced a similar thrill of discovery when my eyes fell upon these heirloom lace tops in the [...]
