ad maiora

Ad Maiora means ‘toward greater things’ in Latin.

What’s new, what’s new?  Well, summer is over and so is my writing slump.  I’ve actually been to a few workout classes after an indulgent and rather lazy few months.  I’ve been feeling cozy with the seasonal shift and did the big closet switchover from S/S to F/W last weekend and am so happy with the results.  Purging and simplifying my wardrobe over the last year has finally paid off, the process was efficient and relatively seamless.  I’ll have to take some pictures of it tomorrow and do a post on my streamlined wardrobe.

I’d also like to properly introduce you to the bracelet that I cannot stop wearing.  It’s the Monica Vinader Signature Thin Bangle in rose gold.  I was gifted this beauty at Nordstrom and was even able to get it engraved!  I went for the Latin phrase ad maiora, which means towards greater things (or so Pinterest tells me).  Feels like an appropriate sentiment to carry around with me on the daily.  Also, I know this look is a tad summery, but things have warmed up here in Vancouver and if I don’t post it now, it’ll just end up in the photo abyss of things I never got around to sharing.  Which would just be sad, don’t you think?

Anyway, glad to be back and hope you are all well.  Can’t wait for all the fall content!
