Oh boy, we didn't exactly think of this one through did we? Putting out two first names to make one has got a lot of people thinking that DonnaMay is a single name. Though we don't mind as we are basically a two in one package, we bicker like little children and have a love for each other like two sisters (cue "awwws"). We finally took to going behind the camera for a fun shoot with our very favorite Kaja Tirrul and though it was filled with "Kaja, what am I suppose to do? Where do I look?", Kaja was able to magically capture the authenticity of Donna and May duo that we are. With a ton of giggles and a little chilly weather, we managed to pull off this incredibly fun shoot and are so excited to share it with all of you! And c'mon folks no one wants the tears and hysteria of poor little May feeling left out**, here's the two-in-one duo of DonnaMay Stylist!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It is so sad to be saying goodbye to our fall features, it has
been so much fun meeting and getting to know all the great people of Ottawa who
have shown us that we do not lack style whatsoever. Throughout the fall season
we have attempted to capture the unique and original styles of the Ottawa crowd
and the Ottawa fashion community. To mark our final fall feature, we have an
incredibly unique young woman to showcase who always catches our eye. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

matching things together but my mentor Thierry, founder of PRIDE & EGO
got me into it I guess by always giving me advice and I would talk to him

been into trends, but more of just whatever I can
put together and feels good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

wants, she doesn't stick to a specific style and I admire that. Kim is just always always
on point and dressed well, never missing a beat, she’s beautiful.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Lorie is currently attending the School of Arts for painting
classes, creatively talented woman. We chose Lorie as our final feature because not only does she rock the
street style aspect which we adore but she also does it with unbelievable
confidence that inspires others. We remember looking at her once and thinking,
"Damn, wish I could pull that off" and her answer was YOU CAN and it
has stuck with us every since. Lorie is certainly a woman to keep your eye out
for, but in the meantime check out her instagram @lorieaoun - Thank you to
Lori and to each and every one of our fall features, you were all so amazing and
it was pleasure being able to give light on the great style of Ottawa, until next fall! </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">Sadly as most of the leaves have come and gone and the temperatures getting colder, the end of fall is around the corner. This is one of our last fall features as our fall fashion will soon transition into winter fashion, brrrr.

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> I don't think there was just one thing that
inspired me to want to work in the fashion industry, I think it was a
combination of experiences that I had. Like many people I at one point dealt
with insecurities which lead me to follow fashion trends to try and fit in,
however I think it truly began when I started modeling. I had worked in retail
a while and knew the way trends worked but that was the extent of my interest;
I modeled in Ottawa for a short time and loved that it showed me another side
to the fashion industry that I had not seen in retail. Since then I have
developed my taste and knowledge of fashion and more importantly my own style
through magazines, blogs, and of course my work with PRIDE & EGO INC. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #222222;"> Wow that is hard! I love so many stores; Zara,
Club Monaco, Vero Moda, Mexx. I think I would choose Zara , they have a good
mix of smart casual and dressy pieces and are very on point with fashion and
trends. Their styles and large selection work well for my current lifestyle!</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> It’s definitely over done right now and going
out of trend as it has been around since the beginning of fall, but I have to
say leather accents. I still love them! I am not crazy for too much leather in
an outfit. I think that's something that stands out about my style; I pick and
choose which trends I want to wear and I make them my own by ensuring they are
pieces which will last longer than the season. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">I
am inspired by so many people's style, even fictional characters like Olivia
Pope on Scandal! For me it’s more about the style, I am </span><span style="color: #222222;">minimalist</span><span style="color: #222222;"> and I like
it when the pieces are classic and can be used for various types of outfits. I
love what Olivia Pope wears on Scandal, it’s simple and classic however the
colour tones would never work for me with my fair skin. I think it’s important
to have a fashion icon that has a similar body type to you since for me the fit
of the clothes is the most important feature. You will be the first to know if
I have one particular fashion icon!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I
used to be awful at putting together outfits because although the outfit looked
good it didn't necessarily work for me. I think that's what I have gotten
really good at, finding pieces that look good on me and work well together which
makes putting together an outfit super easy since almost anything in my closet
will work! I never just buy one piece for itself; I buy the piece with an
outfit in mind. I am inspired by images online or in magazines but I use those
more as a reference when I am shopping, I don't really go out looking for an
entire outfit I saw online or anything like that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">These two inspiring women loved
beautiful clothes and always defined simple elegance with their outfits; hence
why I believe in simple elegance. My Mother had separate bureaus dedicated to
her garments, a shoe closet and a big shadow box for her jewels which was given
to her from my grandmother. I loved seeing her dressed up every day whether it
was for work or grocery shopping. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">We absorb a lot of spoken lessons
from mothers but much from what I learned was unspoken. As a kid, she would
love to dress me up every day and throw a joke about my future wife. I learned
so much from watching her that it became a daily routine. To this day I still
ask, " Mom what do you think of this outfit?" <o:p></o:p></span></div>

better be one big store full of everything, and I mean everything! I'm the type

pick things out from different places and put them together myself. (qualities
of a true stylist!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">My favorite fall fashion trends right
now would have to be cuffed pants as well as scarves. Whether its cuffed denim
or cotton sweatpants, it is a definite weapon of choice that goes
well with sneakers or minimal dress shoes. Scarves are just an easy addition to
your outfit that simply make you look better. Tie them up in a knot or
just toss them on as a blanket, it will warm up your ensemble. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">My fashion icon would have to be my
favorite basketball player, Dwyane Wade. In my opinion, he is the best dressed
NBA player today. From creating new trends and styles to designing his own line
of fashion, the man is truly an icon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

week we took a little break from our Fall Fashion Fridays but we’re BACK!
And boy, oh boy do we have a great piece for you today. We met with another duo
that just blew us away, we met these two back in September and had a major

protective spray on them. I usually build around one piece, for example my
boots, and then I either work my way up or my way down and I just try things on
and sometimes it just doesn't work and I’m like nah and I keep
trying. It also depends how I feel that day. <u1:p></u1:p></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><u2:p></u2:p><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

that they are having so much fun with what they are doing. When they came to
decide on a name, CJ and Katherine just saw the name on a written news paper
and loved it. Mode in French translates to style but also means a way of doing
things – our mode, our style. These two are such a great couple and fashion
duo, not only are they driven but so creative and incredibly sweet. We are very
privileged to have had the chance to catch up with them and share it with all
of you! To stay updated on our mode, follow their instagram account: @ourmode,

young age for me - When I was in high school I would match the colours to
everything I wore and be very influenced by everyone/everything I saw around
me. Having gone through the Hollister and Abercrombie phase like most teenager
did, I soon realized I didn't want to wear what everyone else was wearing. I
guess you could say this was when I really started my own style. People noticed
and I was even crowned best dressed at my school!</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

been inspired to get into fashion since I was in high school as well, when I
met a friend who showed me the ropes. He introduced me to
downtown boutiques and we would work, save up money and spend it all at
these stores. From grade 9 to 12 we were broke but at least we had
Raw denim from Sweden and Marc Jacobs sunglasses! Since then
every day I strive to be informed on current fashion and work on
my own personal style. I love it!</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

shop at one store right now it would have to be Topman (www.topman.com), I love
the basics I can find there and mixing it with some vintage pieces. As well, I

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"> <b>Eric:</b> If
I could shop at one store right now it would be SSENSE (www.ssense.com). Not
only does it carry designers that are killing it in the fashion world, it
features Canadian designers to support local talent. It's on online department
store with one boutique in Montreal. It carries Givenchy, Saint
Laurent, Wang, Acne, Balmain, Y-3 and so many more of my
favorite designers! Even if you’re not in the budget for a shopping spree
at SSENSE, it's a fantastic tool for inspiration and to browse through the

trend right that I'm obsessed with right now is anything quilted. Whether it is
a vest or a bomber jacket, I think it gives a traditional sophisticated look.
Balmain has incorporated this concept in his recent collection and the shape it
gives to a woman is stunning!</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"> <b>Eric:</b> My
current go-to fall fashion trend would be a bomber. It's a simple piece
you can layer and the options are endless, you can rock a simple t-shirt. You
can dress it up and style it like a blazer with a shirt and tie. You
can zip it up all the way and wear it with some Nike sneakers for a
sporty look. The options are endless! It’s a great staple piece for a
total street style junkie or even a dapper gentleman.</span></div>

after I check all my social media is check the weather! Once I get an idea of
how cold/warm it will be I plan my outfit. I wouldn't say I have
"lazy" days because I don't but I do have those days that aren't so
dressed up. I usually start off with one piece I want to wear that day and go
from there. In addition, I do tend to wear a lot of the same pieces such as my
docs and black pants. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

black or an all white monochromatic outfit, so I tend to end up doing that
quite often. I love oversize top and tight pants. I guess I usually start
with a statement piece and then complete the look with simplicity to isolate
that piece. Shoes are everything! My favorite shoes right now are my
high-top black leather Cinzia Araia sandal sneakers. For the most
part I usually wear what is available and isn't sitting in a laundry
basket!</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

prove that wrong with the amount of talented people we have connected with in
this city!</span></div>

recently opened up the last evening of Ottawa Fashion week with his Spring 2014

since I can remember, I have been interested in fashion so I knew that I wanted
to do something with it. It's about 4-5 years ago where I thought to myself “If
I want to do it why aren't I doing it? Why don't I start? There's nothing
stopping me!” I've always dreamed of having my own line and here I am!</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I
really like shopping in the U.S and I really like the big department stores.
You have everything there; you get lost in those places because you have so
much variety and so many different designers. You have the option of getting
everything from one store. My all time favorites are Neiman Marcus
(www.neimanmarcus.com) and Nordstorm (www.nordstorm.ca) - can't wait for
them to open in Rideau Center (so are we, ahh!)</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">A
buttoned down blouse - You have so many colors, patterns and designs and they
can be easily be dressed up with a pair of trousers or dressed down with a pair
of jeans. People should wear more of these, too many sweatshirts in this world
and not enough blouses (he sure rocked his blouse!)</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

with his mother who was the original seamstress on his pieces, once he got the
hang of it, he became entirely hand on with creating every one of his pieces.
The name Alfred Marcel comes from joining the two names of Pascal’s
grandfathers – a beautifully meaningful and chic name we must say. If you
didn’t catch the Alfred Marcel collection at this year’s Ottawa Fashion Week,
head over to the website<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.alfredmarcel.com/">www.alfredmarcel.com</a><span class="apple-converted-space"> and drool over his fabulous pieces. Also

creative outlet for me. I love fashion and I want to become a designer one day
so fashion blogging was something to start me off and get my name out there and
it's mostly just fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Topshop
(www.topshop.com).They have absolutely everything and it is all awesome -
clothes, shoes, accessories, everything in one place. Throw me in that store
and I can easily spend a $1000 because I just love everything they carry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Boyfriend Jeans -
which my boyfriend hates but I love them! When in doubt, then throw on a pair
of boyfriend jeans. I have about 5 pairs right now and they go with everything,
you can dress them up or just wear them casually. Plus they fit my style
perfectly - effortless.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Fashion blogger
Courtney Trop! (Instagram @alwaysjudging) Her style is similar to mine -
not too girly, a lot of black and just an overall laid back type of vibe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I try everything in
my closet on, everything. And if I feel like one thing is off in my outfit, I
have to start all over again. I’m very picky with my wardrobe but I love to mix
and match a lot. And I love black and wear it a lot since it just goes with everything
and makes it easier to pair (You really cannot go wrong with black!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Every time we run
into Nathalie she always looks so posh, yet so laidback at the same time and we
love that combination! She currently has a fashion blog which we recommend you
all check out <b>www.itsgoldwaters.com </b>and her <b>Instagram @goldwaters</b>. As you
can see with her fall outfit above, she can mix a classy blazer with a pair of boyfriend
jeans and sneakers and make it work so well! Keep an eye for this blogger, down
the road you could be ogling over her fashion designs!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I would have to say it was my
mom. My parents often went out, and as a little girl watching my mom transform
from "house wife" to "femme fatal" was incredible. She
always had the most beautiful elaborate outfits, the perfect balance of sexy
and class. She was also a painter, when I was 9 years old she painted a self
portrait of me and hung it up in my room; I was in love with it! And that there
influenced me to start sketching.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Oh that a tough one, I don't even
know if I can answer that one (We know we definitely can't answer it, too many
choices!!) - It would have to be a "one stop shop" kind of store.
Somewhere where I can find my fashion forward or in trend pieces and of course
there has to be accessories and beauty supplies!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

leather. I'm loving the leather! Whether
it’s pants, skirts, or even leather detail in a top. Combine it with a pop lip

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">You almost have to study the
style, understand what makes it and make sure to tell that story when you’re
choosing your pieces. What I've learned from my experience is that layering is
key!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Pilard is certainly a fashionista
and designer who we truly admire. Not only for her uniqueness but for her
strive to go after what she is truly passionate about and loves. Pilards'
outfit (see above) consists perfectly of a leather skirt, tweed vest (www.veromoda.com) and a black & white
combination - the latest fall trends brought together all in one! If you're
interested in getting a custom made piece by Pilard or just want a peek at her
incredible sketches then check out her official</span><b style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> Instagram account: @designsbypilard</b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">. You never know what she gets
up to next - maybe the runways!</span></div>

I<span style="font-family: Calibri;">t's fall and we are all bringing out our fall jackets and
cozy layered knit sweaters - and we want to capture it all. Our Fall Fashion Friday
feature is a piece we will be doing every Friday to bring back to life the
style that people think Ottawa has lost. We will be interviewing some
fashionistas and fashion bloggers from around the city and sharing it with all
of you. Today we have our first fall feature and she is as fabulous as they get!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><strong>Rawan Hanhan
- <em>Street style Fashionista</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We caught up
with Rawan in her home on casual Sunday and asked her a few questions to give
us a little insight on her style.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">For an online
store, I'd go with Nasty Gal (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.nastygal.com/"><span style="color: blue;">www.nastygal.com</span></a></i>). They're carrying so
many of the styles I'm into right now and there is a lot of variety and less
chance of someone wearing the same thing as you. For an actual store, definitely
the New York City Urban Outfitters <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(</i><cite><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-style: normal; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/"><span style="color: blue;"><i>www.</i><b><i>urbanoutfitters</i></b><i>.com</i></span></a>)
because it doesn't compare to the one we have here in Ottawa, not only is it
much bigger but the selection of clothes and styles over there is much better.<o:p></o:p></span></cite></span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></o:p></span></b><cite><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-style: normal; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">What is your go-to
fall fashion trend right now?</span></b></cite><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Harem pants
and oversized/baggy sweaters - they're perfect for fall and so comfy without
looking messy.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<em><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-style: normal; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">When it comes to

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Carrie
Bradshaw (swoon, we love her!) - Her body works with everything, she can pull
off the nicest and craziest outfits of all styles, she’s so diverse. From jeans
and t-shirt to a wearing a pink frilly tutu - she's fabulous. Though I’m not as
a shoe fanatic as she is but I'm 100% with her on her love for clothes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

together your outfits’ everyday, any routines or inspirations for it?</span></b></em><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I usually
plan my outfit the night before, because I know myself and how I want to look
when I dress. Of course occasion depending - I don't want to waste a good outfit
on an insignificant day. (We feel you, girl!)<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">What keeps it going for you with fashion, style, and keeping on top
of it?<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The way it
makes me feel, you feel fabulous with good style! What you wear can make you
feel so confident and I always want to feel that! <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Rawan is
clearly an Ottawa fashionista to keep out for, she's always on top of her style
and we love everything about it! Her perfect fall outfit (see above) consists
of a neatly put together salt and pepper Wilfred dress by Artizia (<a href="http://www.aritzia.com/"><span style="color: blue;">www.aritzia.com</span></a>), a statement purple scarf to
add some pop of color and leather moccasins to bring the whole look together - we
adore it! Follow Rawan on instagram @roubear to check out her other great
outfits!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
