    The Third Piece Rule: Decoded

    October 25, 2018

    Happy fall, y’all! As temperatures start to drop (or have already for you cooler-weather gals), it’s a great time to take a long, hard look at your wardrobe. I don’t know about you, but I used to constantly find myself gazing wistfully at my closet, wishing I had that one perfect whatever that would just pull everything together. Truthfully, sometimes I still do. But everything changed once I started working for Madewell a few years back. Right off the bat, associates are encouraged to dress by the “Third-Piece Rule,” a simple equation for styling outfits that are just a bit more elevated.

    The Best Digital Task Tracker for School

    October 11, 2018

    As several of you noticed in my What’s in my School Bag post, this is my first year (in the entirety of my academic career) not carting around an analog planner. After being a complete stationery dork for years, these are the digital tracking methods I’ve tested over the last few months and the one I’m sticking to for this quarter. Planners on Planners on Planners You may remember that the first post on Xoro Media, then Xoxo, Rosana, was about my bullet journaling process. I started publishing because so many friends asked how to bullet journal, and it was easier to send them links instead of sending individual messages.…

    What’s in My School Bag

    October 8, 2018

    With the beginning of school comes the school commute! After three years of being in the same apartment (pretty far from campus), I have finally perfected my school bag. Often my schedule requires me to be on campus from morning until late at night, which means everything I need has to come with me. I’ve been using this reversible Street Level tote I got from Nordstrom on and off for the last two years and it has held up really well! I added a Madewell sash to the strap to give it a refresh for the new school year. The bag is exactly the right size for my laptop, which then…

    How Defining Ideal You Can Make Her a Reality

    September 20, 2018

    Happy almost fall my quarter system sunshines! With only a few days before school starts, it’s time to get those brand spanking new planners out and think about what you want to accomplish in the coming year! We’ve spoken a lot about how to set goals, but today I want to share a little more about that first step of the process: visualizing your future! This summer, I started a meditation practice and often the guided meditations I listen to talk about manifesting your destiny. I’m not sold on the idea of manifestation, but I do believe in the importance of clarifying your long-term goals and finding ways to keep…
