Ok call me a keener, but I’m already outfit planning for the Calgary Stampede this year.  It’s the 100th anniversary!  Better look cute.

So there’s a really cool contest for all of ya’ll fashionistas where $10,000 is up for grabs including a shopping spree at The Core!

All you have to do is head to the COREshopping Facebook page and upload a photo of yourself in your most contemporary, sophisticated Stampede style to the Contest tab.  I did a little pre-shop to get some good examples of contemporary Stampede Style – not that I always shop with my cameraman but there’s nothing wrong with squeezing a little shopping into the work day!

On June 18th, our panel of celebrity judges will choose the three finalists who uploaded the photo that best represents contemporary Stampede style. The public will vote for their favorite finalist, and the winner of the $10,000 grand prize package will be announced at our Stampede Fashion Show on July 4!  Giddyup!

Anyway we’re looking for outfits like this one – gorgeous lace dress, accessories, and belt from BCBG – just post your pics like this and you could win $10,000!

Ten thousand people right here in Calgary are living with Celiac Disease.

For Celiac Awareness Month, I spoke with Gastroenterologist Dr. Alaa Rostom for the basics on the disease. He says Celiac Disease is two-fold,  both an auto immune disease and a food allergy. Celiac disease is a medical condition where the lining of the small intestine that helps us absorb food is damaged by our auto immune system. This immune system response is triggered when a patient eats gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.
