The Giving Season

The holiday season is here, bringing with it the sights, sounds and traditions that make this time of year so magical. For many of us, the holidays are a chance to relive the joy we felt as children, whether it’s through the twinkle of festive lights, the aroma of holiday baking or cherished family traditions that bring us closer together.

In our family, one tradition we’ve held onto is making home-made hot chocolate and driving around town to see the best light displays while listening to holiday music.

This month, we’re celebrating the Giving Season with stories that warm the heart and inspire the spirit. Step into the sparkle of Up On The Rooftop, a holiday pop-up bar where the 360 rooftop transforms into a glittering winter wonderland. Then discover Luxury In Motion with NAS Transportation , redefining comfort, reliability and first-class local travel, perfect for all your festive outings. And don’t miss our Holiday Gift Guide, featuring creative gifts they won’t expect, thoughtfully curated to help you shop local and share something truly special.

While this season shines brightly, we also recognize it can be a challenging time for some, those who may be grieving, lonely or in need. As a community, let’s come together to extend kindness and compassion. Whether it’s donating to a local charity, volunteering your time, or simply checking in on a neighbor, every act of generosity lights up our city in its own beautiful way.

From our hearts to yours, may your holidays be filled with love, peace, and the joy of giving.

Cheers,

December 2025

Motion LUXURY IN

ARTICLE BY STACEY DIXSON

BY JOHN EVERT

After a night of yuletide festivities, ensuring a safe arrival is of highest priority. Enter NAS Transportation, one of St. Louis area’s premier providers of luxury transportation. Nadine Azar co-owns NAS transportation with her husband, Fadi. The business began nearly a decade ago when they relocated to St. Louis. Nadine got her start building her luxury transportation clientele in New York City driving

for Uber Black, a premium driving service that requires drivers meet more rigorous standards than typical transportation service providers.

“My clients wanted me specifically to drive them. They liked that I was a woman, and that I provided an experience where they felt safe. It felt good to know my clients trusted me,” Nadine recalls. “You could see the relief on clients’ faces when they saw the driver they knew. In St. Louis, clients know we’re local; they recognize the driver and the vehicle.”

She says NAS Transportation, however, is a step above Uber Black. Comfort and luxury are hallmarks of the company, providing premium service in their black Escalade, Navigator or BMW X7.

“We have students we take to school every day,” Nadine says. “When you see a person pop in their ear buds and fall asleep, you know they feel secure.”

NAS Transportation serves area professionals as well as families. Even when traveling across the country, Nadine arranges transportation with trusted providers that she has personally vetted for trustworthiness.

A hard-earned privilege that NAS Transportation enjoys is the ability to provide a VIP experience for events in the area due to front-door accessibility that other services cannot. Nadine states proudly: “Even when a venue is blocked off to traffic, we have gained the trust and professional courtesy to have been given permission to bring our clients right to the front entrance."

During the year, popular client destinations include Busch Stadium, Enterprise Center and Lambert International Airport. During the holidays, families book so they can enjoy the festive lights without having to drive. Anheuser-Busch Brewery Lights currently are an in-demand location because parking can be difficult. Nadine says NAS Transportation provides a seamless service where the entire experience is simple and predictable.

THE ARTISTIC MASTERY OF GUILLOCHÉ AND ENAMEL

ARTICLE BY ROBIN SEATON JEFFERSON

“I want to create something that is beautiful that educates, enlightens and inspires, along with a bit of storytelling that is captivating and interesting,” says David Oscarson of the more than 40 designs he's offered luxury fountain pen collectors and buyers since 2000. That's when he launched his eponymous brand with the limited-edition Henrik Wigstrom Trophy pen collection. Since then, he's launched other finely crafted accessories, including corresponding cufflinks and folding knives in sterling silver, guilloché engraving and hot enamel in his UK workshop.

A St. Louis-born designer, David grew up in Stockholm, Sweden, and began his career in the diamond business, but later started his luxury pen company to “create something beautiful that would last for generations.”

Among the numerous historical figures and events honored with David Oscarson designs is Alexander Fleming, the Scottish bacteriologist best known for discovering penicillin. Another honors Nikola Tesla’s eccentric genius wrapped in mystery and mystique. Still another — The Golden Spike Collection — commemorates the first transcontinental railroad, completed when the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads met in the United States at Promontory Summit, Utah, in 1869.

David’s latest release is a tribute to Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis, the historic aircraft NX211. The pen honors one of the most daring and iconic achievements of the 20th century: the day Charles Lindbergh made history and captivated the world by flying solo 3,600 miles nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean from New York City to Paris.

“The Charles Lindbergh collection celebrates Lindbergh’s courage and pioneering spirit, while also capturing the essence of the aircraft that made the journey possible, the Spirit of St. Louis,” says David.

The pens retail for around $7,000 and folding knives for $7,800.

David’s use of hand-rendered guilloché (diamond-cut engraving), the same process used by Peter Carl Fabergé in late 20th Century St. Petersburg, and hot enamel work (kiln-fired glass) are traditional art forms. The metal parts of his pens are guilloché-engraved, a decorative technique that uses a hand-operated rose engine lathe to engrave fine, repetitive and intricate patterns onto a metal surface. David also uses specific enameling techniques to enrobe his pens as opposed to more cost-effective methods whose results do not meet his standards.

“While the use of die-striking or casting can be faster and more cost-effective to produce a pattern onto precious metal,” David says, “we are unwavering in our commitment to the time-honored technique of guilloché engraving which reflects and refracts light beyond compare.”

Similarly, he says, easier and more affordable methods of covering precious metals may be achieved through the use of sprays, resins or epoxies. “But we continue in the unique tradition and unparalleled skill of hot enamel that will last for generations.”

David’s designs are represented by retailers around the world, but his home is St. Louis, with Clarkson Jewelers as his exclusive retailer and Todd Broadbent and his team house a presentation of the David Oscarson collection there.

David says his designs “speak to imagination and emotion, memories and history.” From his choice of metals to the flawless guilloché engraving and translucent enamel work, “each piece is a testament to our commitment to timeless craftsmanship, creating tools that elevate the experience of writing or collecting.”

David Oscarson designs have earned numerous awards, including multiple Best of the Best from the Robb Report, Pen of the Year and other first place distinctions from Pen World magazine, and People’s Choice Finalist at the Couture Show in Las Vegas.

For Holiday Meals

Make Room For GIO Modern Italian, The Brass Rail Steakhouse, Erio’s Ristorante

ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON

HOLIDAYS ARE TRULY MAGICAL AT GIO MODERN ITALIAN!

GIO's husband and wife co-owners' dynamic duo, Giovanni "Gio" and Jessica LaFata, say they deck the halls like no one else, with Christmas trees and festive décor filling every corner of the restaurant at 138 Chesterfield Towne Center.

"Guests can sip on our seasonal sips, soak in the sparkling surroundings and join us for one of our favorite traditions: Supper with Santa on Saturday, Dec. 7, from 4:30-8:30 p.m.," says Jess.

Families are invited to visit with Santa, enjoy holiday balloon art and indulge in a festive pre-fixe dinner that features GIO favorites. Guests are invited to bring an unwrapped toy to donate and receive a holiday treat. All donations benefit families staying at the local Ronald McDonald House locations, with meals and deliveries made by the restaurant's family. Reservations for this special event can be made at  GioStL.com/reservations or by calling 636.536.3788.

The LaFatas opened the Chesterfieldbased Sicilian restaurant and pizzeria during 2013, originally naming it Vito's in the Valley. They updated the name during 2023 with a “new look, new feel and new name," as they indicated after a decade of growth that they were “growing into ourselves."

Jess adds: "We also offer a variety of holiday dining packages for lunch, brunch, dinner and happy hour, which are perfect for families, friends and coworkers celebrating the season together. From cozy gatherings to lively company parties, we love helping guests make their holidays unforgettable."

SAVORY MEALS, BOURBON COLLECTION, AUTHENTIC SERVICE AWAIT AT THE BRASS RAIL STEAKHOUSE!

Founded in 2012, The Brass Rail is widely known for their classic American menu featuring scratch-made foods, aged steaks, seafood, pasta and specialty drinks. However, owner/partner April Hammer says they're also well-known for their "crazy-awesome staff," eager to serve everyone at 4601 Highway K, in O'Fallon.

Some diners say they intentionally treat themselves during the holidays to The Brass Rail's intricately prepared, smoked chicken wings and/or Maryland-style melt-in-your-mouth crab cakes, which were voted “Best in Missouri.”

Additionally, April says they're set up to host larger groups and parties in any of their three private dining rooms. "We also offer full-service catering and private event experiences, really aiming to make the experience extra special for our guests."

She reminds that their gift cards are super popular and an easy way to check friends and family off of shopping lists.

Joe invites everyone to come in to pause and relax during the hecticness of the busy holidays, as they make everything fresh, "everything the old-fashioned way" for guests.

Unwrap The Best Of Local Style And Thoughtful Design This Season

The holidays have a way of bringing out people's softer side, the part that loves to give, to surprise and to treat the people we care about (and maybe ourselves), to something special. This year, skip the generic and celebrate in true St. Louis style. The metropolitan region is brimming with talented designers, boutique owners and makers who pour heart, skill and serious style into every piece.

FOR HER

If you’re searching for a gift that feels as good as it looks, a cashmere scarf by James Paul Cheung, available at Noble Luxury Brands in Clayton, is the way to go. Soft, lightweight and effortlessly elegant, it’s the kind of luxury that whispers sophistication. Each scarf is designed with intention. Timeless, modern and made to be lived in for years to come, it’s that perfect touch of just enough love wrapped around the neck.

For something with a little more edge, turn to the Baroque Punk necklace by Vauje, a stunning showstopper that is part art, part attitude. “This necklace is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail. It effortlessly marries old-world charm with edgy flair,” says Vauje owner Mary Crogier. “Unleash your inner fashion rebel!” Every Vauje design feels like an original because it is. Bold, beautiful and unapologetically unique.

FOR HIM

Finding something meaningful for him can be a challenge, but local craftsmanship always wins. A handcrafted ring from RC

ARTICLE BY AUDRA HARROLD

Studio, such as the Oracle ring, is understated yet full of character, a small piece with a big story, made with care and intention. It’s the kind of gift that becomes part of his everyday look without ever feeling overdone.

Or, go fully custom with a made-to-measure shirt from Noble Luxury Brands. There is something undeniably special about a shirt that fits perfectly. It is confidence, comfort and sophistication all in one. Tailored to him and his lifestyle, it’s a gift he will appreciate every time he buttons it up.

FOR THEM

Some gifts are simply better when they are made to last. Sole Survivor, a St. Louis staple for handcrafted leather goods, offers pieces that are equal parts classic and modern. A handcrafted leather belt, available for both men and women and fitted while you wait, is an instant wardrobe upgrade. Or, choose one of their beautifully designed bags, from everyday satchels to statement handbags, including a stunning hand-painted one-of-a-kind leather bag created in collaboration with local artist Brock Seals.

Whether it is the warmth of cashmere, the craftsmanship of hand-tooled leather or the boldness of a statement necklace, these local St. Louis pieces tell a story. They remind that style isn’t just about what is worn; it’s about connection, creativity and community. This season, give something that reflects all three. Support local, shop with intention and wrap gifts, and your heart, in a little bit of St. Louis style.

Advice Editorial: A New Book Inspiring Adults To Age With Energy And Independence

ARTICLE BY DR. BETH

Most people want to stay strong and independent as they age, but too many believe decline is inevitable. I’ve spent my career helping people see aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down. In my new book, Get Your Daily ExerMoves, I bust the biggest myths about aging and show how movement, not medication, is key to staying healthy and independent.

At HouseFit, we created the ExerMoves approach to make exercise both safe and effective for aging adults. Every routine's designed to build strength, improve balance and boost confidence, no matter the diagnosis or starting point. My hope is simple: to inspire others to move with purpose, take control of health and age boldly on their own terms.

Get Your Daily ExerMoves now available on Amazon.
