WHAT TO WEAR TO | THE CALGARY STAMPEDE

With the Calgary Stampede currently underway I thought it would be the perfect time for another installment in my WHAT TO WEAR TO series! Today I’m chatting about what I’m wearing this year and sharing my love for great vintage and authentic western style with a bohemian influence. If you don’t live near Calgary, let me fill you in — the Calgary Stampede is a 10 day outdoor festival referred to as The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, celebrating the culture of the wild wild west. It’s also one big excuse for the city to shut down and party, which I have to say Calgarians do quite well! And while my crazy stampeding days are long behind me, there are some fantastic Stampede events and parties (not to mention excellent networking) that takes place during these 10 days — and I like to look the part! I think there’s an opportunity to dress really well at the Calgary Stampede and embrace the roots of traditional western style.

This post is also a collaboration with the lovely Dawn Bradley Hair who I worked with to create this gorgeous bohemian hairstyle. If you’re looking for some textured, braided, perfectly undone hair inspiration, Dawn breaks down how to achieve the style in 10 easy steps!

NATURAL HABITAT

If you’re looking for some serenity on this Sunday afternoon you’ve come to the right place! Today’s post is a super relaxed one where I’m sharing my must-haves for natural, airy, summer style. These are the wardrobe staples I truly feel most comfortable in and like to throw on when I’m just chilling out! Whether I’m dressed up or dressed down I’ve always had a major soft spot for light, flowy fabrics and natural textures. I’ve been living in these breezy basics during my time in the prairies this summer — I know I can throw them on when comfort is a must, but so is looking cute and pulled together. I also chat about stepping up my casual shoe game and share my current favourite pair for weekend adventures! Take a break from the hustle of everyday life for a few minutes, pour yourself a cup of tea and come hang out amoung the fields of wheat and trickling streams near my childhood home in rural Alberta!

SUMMER SOLSTICE DINNER PARTY


Summer is officially here and I can’t think of a better reason to pick up a bottle of wine and invite your friends over for dinner! Tonight’s post is a fun and feminine tablescape I created with Rebecca Dawn Design to celebrate the dawn of summer.

Inspired by the merging seasons we’ve combined the blossoming branches of spring with summer’s colourful blooms, accented with aztec textiles, gold accents and of course some rosé — because I can’t be stopped! I’m also sharing my tips for pulling together an eclectic tablescape with budget friendly and thrifted decor, because I believe unique celebrations don’t have to come with an extravagant price tag. Come gather around my dining table and let’s chat summer entertaining!

DIGITAL BLOOMS JUNE 2016 | FREE TECH WALLPAPERS


It’s the first day of June, which means it’s time for another installment of DIGITAL BLOOMS! I’ve always associated the beginning of June (and the beginning of summer) with fresh lilacs — so we’re celebrating June 1st with lilac themed Digital Blooms here at JustineCelina. This month Rebecca Dawn Design and I are inspired by the different stages of budding lilacs and their varied shades of purple.

We’re also be showing you how to create a Foraged Lilac Arrangement later this month, so stick around for more on bringing the outside in to savour the intoxicating scent and beauty of these gorgeous purple blossoms! As always, these downloads are 100% free with no strings attached.

COME HANG OUT IN MY KITCHEN


Today’s post is something a little different! I’m excited to share a look inside my kitchen as part of the In Search of Yummyness In the Kitchen With Series. Shareba and I are both members of the Food Bloggers of Canada and we’ve always enjoyed keeping up with each other online. I was honoured when she asked me to be part of her new series, where she takes a look inside the kitchens of her favourite bloggers! You can hop over to her post for the interview, where she asks me things like what’s in my fridge, what I make for dinner on a hectic weekday, what I like to serve when I’m entertaining and what my favourite restaurants in Calgary are. I also let you in on some of my biggest recipe fails since I’ve started blogging! In my post today I’m sharing lots more photos of our space, so come hang out in my kitchen — I have snacks, flowers and chilled rosé!

DIGITAL BLOOMS MAY 2016 | FREE TECH WALLPAPERS


Who’s ready for another installment of DIGITAL BLOOMS?! Rebecca and I are so thrilled with all the positive feedback you gave us last month! We’re happy you’re enjoying the series and excited to bring you some fresh new designs this month. May is going to be all about tulips here at JustineCelina (because who doesn’t love tulips?), so we thought it would be the perfect time create tulip-exclusive designs for May’s Digital Blooms! This month we were inspired by ombre hues and cascading patterns. Rebecca will also be chatting All About Tulips later this month (did you know there are different varieties of tulips?), so stick around if you’d like to learn more about these beauties!

If you missed last months post introducing this new series, here’s the gist — I’ve partnered with my friend and amazing flower designer Rebecca Dawn Design to bring you 3 free downloads on the 1st of each month. We’re teaming up to create some beautiful flower art inspired by seasonal flowers, foliage and a fresh colour palette! Now you can enjoy the beauty of flowers year round on the background of your computer, tablet or phone. As always, these downloads are 100% free with no strings attached.
