LIFESTYLE LETTER
The Style Issue As we head into a new season, we’re embracing all things style—not just what we wear, but how we live, how we gather, and how we express ourselves every day. This issue is especially close to our hearts. On the cover is my dear friend and local style standout, Anne Tuckley—a celebrated interior designer whose bold, beautiful spaces are matched only by her fashion-forward wardrobe. She’s someone who lives with intention and dresses with flair, and we’re thrilled to share her story with you. We're also excited to feature R Home founded by Zack Girard. His eye for curation and his passion for accessible, elevated design make his home décor shop a must-visit for anyone looking to refresh their space this fall. And because personal style goes beyond interiors and outfits, we’re highlighting Drybar Columbia, where effortless beauty and confidence go hand in hand. Whether you're getting ready for Game Day or just need a midweek pick-me-up, their team delivers great hair and even better vibes. As a mother-daughter team who swoon over great outfits, beautiful spaces, and a good blowout—we couldn’t wait to put this issue together. As always, thank you for being part of our Columbia City Lifestyle community. Here’s to feeling good, looking great, and finding inspiration everywhere. With style & gratitude, L E A N N E A N D S H E A S U L L I VA N , P U B L I S H E R A N D P U B L I C AT I O N D I R E C T O R @ C O LU M B I AC I T Y L I F E S T Y L E

W H E R E S E L F - C A R E S TA R T S Walk into Drybar Columbia and it’s clear—this isn’t just about hair. It’s a 45-minute pause button with romcoms on the screen, mimosas in hand, and stylists who know how to bring volume and ease in equal measure. Whether you're solo or with friends, it’s less errand, more escape—and a ritual worth repeating.
STYLED WITH INTENTION No scissors. No dye. No distractions. Just blowouts— and a team that takes them seriously. Owner-friends and beauty entrepreneurs Angie Nelson and Sarah Carden brought the franchise to town with a mission: to make confidence simple and joyfully routine. The vibe? Southern charm meets West Coast ease. Columbia’s favorite look? Beachy volume, always. Effortless hair with a little extra drama.
COMMUNITY & CONFIDENCE Owner-operated with a passionate team (shoutout to Shop Educator Ty Dawson), Drybar Columbia has made waves since opening in 2024. Whether you're prepping for Game Day or treating yourself on a Tuesday, the shop’s mission is simple: every guest leaves feeling confident, polished, and ready for whatever’s next—preferably with great hair, good vibes, and a mimosa or two.

FASH ION F OR WA R D | STYLE + BE AU T Y
Award-winning interior designer Anne Tuckley has made a name for herself designing luxury homes across Missouri and beyond—but her style influence doesn’t stop at interiors. Known for her philanthropic work, modeling career, and
“My style is classic and tailored with a bit of edge.” styling for Miss Missouri contestants in the Miss America pageant, Anne is as multifaceted as she is fashionable. This summer, we caught up with her to talk about the intersections of personal style, interior design, and where she finds creative inspiration.
JORDAN: YOU’VE WORKED AS A MODEL AND WALKED IN KC FASHION WEEK. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCES.
Anne: I began modeling in my 20s in New York, Philadelphia, and St. Louis. After a 25-year break, I signed with a St. Louis agency a year ago. I’ve had some fun jobs, and I’ve walked in two Kansas City Fashion Week shows. Backstage at KCFW is a whirlwind of creativity, coordination, and chaos with dozens of models, style teams, and designers. The designer always has
a vision for the hair and makeup, and as a model, you have to go with it—even if you don’t care for the look. I’ve had twigs and nests teased and sprayed in my hair that took hours to unweave.
J: YOU’RE ALSO A BUSINESS OWNER AND LUXURY INTERIOR DESIGNER. WHAT DREW YOU TO THE PROFESSION AND STARTING YOUR OWN BUSINESS?
A: I’ve always been a creative person. I started as an artist doing pen-and-ink architectural renderings and faux painting. When I moved to Columbia, I was hired to set up the floor at a furniture and accessories store. Customers began asking me to decorate their homes, and it turned into a full-time business for over 20 years. I love what I do and love being my own boss—she’s pretty cool most days! CONTINUED >

J: STYLE CAN BE USED IN MANY WAYS. DO YOU SEE STYLE PLAYING OUT DIFFERENTLY BETWEEN SOMEONE’S WARDROBE AND THEIR INTERIOR DESIGN AESTHETIC?
A: Both reflect personal identity, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences. I think everyone should look good in their house by painting the walls or choosing décor in colors that flatter them. Someone who loves clean, minimalist clothing often prefers uncluttered, modern interiors. A lover of bold print clothes may lean toward a maximalist or eclectic home.
J: HOW DO YOU DEFINE “STYLE”?
A: A way of expressing yourself through clothing, accessories, hairstyle, and overall appearance that makes you memorable. It doesn’t need to be expensive to be stylish.
J: WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER YOUR STYLE TO BE?
A: My style is classic and tailored with a bit of edge. A neutral palette of black, chocolate, cream, rust, and occasionally a pop of deep teal or emerald green. I stay away from busy prints and prefer solids. I know what looks best on my body and stick with more tailored, fitted tops. I like my collarbone and shoulders, so I choose clothing to accentuate them. For jewelry, if I’m wearing a bold statement necklace or cuff, I won’t wear much else to compete. I go by the “less is more” rule.
J: WHERE DO YOU DRAW INSPIRATION FROM, WHETHER IT’S FOR PERSONAL STYLE OR STYLING OTHERS?
A: I get a lot of my personal and interior design style influence from Pinterest and Instagram, movies like The Thomas Crown Affair, Ocean’s Eight, The Devil Wears Prada, A Single Man, and European travel. I’m a full-time interior designer but have styled many magazine covers and articles. Occasionally, I’m hired to style a person for a business function, TV show, magazine, dating site, gala, etc. To prep, I look at what the person currently has and what they need, what colors suit them, and what best fits their body type. Ultimately, with personal

furnishings will go into the home. A designer brings experience in layout, color theory, sourcing, and cohesion.
J: IS IT POSSIBLE FOR HOMEOWNERS TO, FOR LACK OF A BETTER PHRASE, “GO WRONG” WHEN THINKING ABOUT DESIGNING THEIR HOME?
J: WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU LIKE OUR READERS TO KNOW?
A: Yes, it’s possible to go wrong, but that doesn’t mean you will. Mixing too many styles, neglecting scale and proportion, impulse buying, overlooking functionality—it happens. I prefer to get involved when floor plans are being drawn. I look for functionality and flow, electrical placement, and consider what existing
A: I’ve styled three Miss Missouri contestants for Miss America. I’ve lived in New York City, Philadelphia, Houston, Chicago, Vermont, Connecticut, and St. Louis. I was a flight attendant with Continental Airlines and a CHANEL handbag specialist—all before taking on my favorite job of being a mom to William. He’s grown now, so who knows what this next chapter will bring. I know it won’t be dull.

STYLE Starts at HOME
It started with one question: “Where can I get that?” Zack Girard heard it often while staging model homes with his team at Girard Homes. Each room, carefully styled by lead designer Becky Erdel, sparked curiosity—and serious furniture envy. “People weren’t just interested in the house,” he says. “They wanted the whole look.” That repeated ask planted the seed for R Home Co.—a downtown design studio and showroom built around livable, layered interiors. “We wanted to create a space where people could see how everything works together,” Girard says. “Not just buy a sofa—create a space.” Today, R Home is known for its curated vignettes, warm approach, and full-service design offerings. “Whether you’re starting from scratch or adding the final touch, we help clients create homes that reflect who they are.” The goal? Beautiful spaces that don’t just photograph well—they feel like home. “It should feel approachable, elevated, and truly personal,” Girard says. “That’s what great design is all about.” CONTINUED >

Walk into R Home Co. and it feels like stepping into the pages of a design magazine—except warmer, more welcoming, and tailored to real life. “The showroom is designed like a series of real rooms,” says owner Zack Girard. “It gives people the chance to imagine how it could work in their own home.” From the start, Girard’s vision has been about more than just selling furniture. “We want to help people create spaces they actually want to live in. Cozy, elevated, functional—it’s got to check all the boxes.” That philosophy shows up in every detail: natural materials like stone, wood, and linen; sculptural pieces that play with proportion; and a thoughtful blend of modern, mid-century, and classic styles. “We like contrast,” he says. “It keeps things interesting and helps clients discover what they really love.” R Home’s design process is highly personal, starting with conversations about lifestyle, inspiration, and function. “It’s not about pushing a look,” Girard says. “It’s about helping people feel confident in their choices.” And if you’ve ever struggled with too-big furniture or rooms that feel cluttered, you’re not alone. “Scale is everything,” he says. “And editing is key. Less can absolutely be more when it’s intentional.” Located in Columbia’s creative North Village Arts District, R Home thrives in a community where design, art, and entrepreneurship overlap. “There’s an energy here that keeps us inspired,” says Girard. “It’s collaborative and full of passion.” As for what’s next? “We’re growing,” he hints. “More room, more ideas, more ways to serve our clients. We can’t wait to share what’s coming.”

After settling in Columbia, Missouri, Tiauna discovered not only a place to call home, but a renewed sense of purpose. “I found my true sense of purpose after settling in Columbia,” she says. “I’ve grown deeply connected to this community and believe in its power to become something truly special.” Tiauna brings a unique heart-forward approach to real estate, driven by a lifelong passion for helping others, especially children. She believes that the key to a brighter tomorrow lies in nurturing young minds today. Whether she's hosting first-time homebuyers seminars, chatting with students at local career fairs, or serving as a mentor, her work is rooted in encouragement, support, and the belief that everyone—especially the next generation—deserves to see what’s possible. Her philosophy is simple but powerful: lift others up, create opportunities, and invest in dreams. For Tiauna, success isn’t just measured by closings or commissions—it’s found in planting seeds of hope and watching them grow. In a city full of possibilities, Tiauna Hickem is helping shape a future where everyone feels seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.
