Let's celebrate and delve into the captivating world of style. Style transcends the clothes we wear or the accessories we choose; it embodies every aspect of our lives. From the way we decorate our homes to the music we enjoy, from the books we cherish to the way we engage in conversations, style permeates every facet of our existence. It is the thread that weaves the rich tapestry of our lives.
Style is profoundly personal. It evolves as we embrace our quirks, passions and desires. It is a form of self-expression that reveals who we are, how we perceive the world, and what we value. In this way, style becomes a powerful medium for connection, allowing us to find common ground with those who share our aesthetic sensibilities.
As individuals, we have the freedom to adopt established styles, blend them, or carve out entirely new paths, becoming trendsetters ourselves. We hope this issue inspires you to forge new paths or revisit familiar ones. There is so much in our city to uplift your spirits, boost your productivity, and ignite your creativity.
What we've discovered is that the best style is an authentic expression of who you truly are. And that’s something no one else can replicate.
Here’s to being uniquely you!

Local Child Advances In National Mullet Contest
At press time, 4-year-old Landon, a St. Charles County resident, had advanced to Round 2 in a National Mullet Contest.

Landon says he will donate $1,000 to Jared Allen's Home for Wounded Warriors if he wins the contest.
O'Fallon In Nation's '50 Best Places To Live For Families'
O'Fallon, Missouri, was placed at No. 31 on Fortune’s new ranking of the nation’s 50 Best Places to Live for Families. One reason the city made the list was that "O’Fallon is large and accessible, a place where most everything is about a 5- to 10-minute drive away." The list also noted that the local housing market is competitive but on the more affordable side, with the typical house selling for $339,007, per Attom.

RED BEAUTY SALON
ARTICLE BY ROBIN SEATON JEFFERSON
Sarah Hayek is often considered a rock star among stylists. With the expertise of Hollywood coiffurists, the owner of The Red Beauty Salon in New Melle has performed on stage as a platform stylist and has been featured on "Show Me St. Louis." Her credentials include working for a large corporate
A Little Bit Of Hollywood In A Small Town
“Hair Lingerie is an exclusive luxury hair extension line that’s the celebrities’ choice of hair.”
beauty company as a salon educator and field manager. But she says her passion is working behind the chair “giving her clients the outcome they dream of.”
The Red Beauty Salon is a full-service luxury salon, specializing in color, cuts, special occasions and the highest quality hair extensions available.
For those seeking luscious and flowing locks, more body, volume, curl or fullness, Sarah says hair extensions are a “magical solution.” But they’re not just any extensions. The Red Beauty Salon specializes in Hair Lingerie as luxury hair extensions by Kiara Bailey, the highest quality hair in the industry.
Chosen by Kiara, Sarah is the only salon in St. Louis, and the state of Missouri, that carries the brand. Sarah says, “Hair Lingerie is an exclusive luxury hair extension line that's the celebrities’ choice of hair.”
Sarah says extensions can be a great option to turn everyday hair into fabulous hair, but they can also put stress on hair, causing hair loss. “Hair Lingerie is very caring for the hair. It has unique polymers and lace technology that allows for invisibility and maximum ventilation on the panel, allowing the natural hair to breath and stay healthy,” she says. “Hair extensions done right can help you achieve your hair goals and
keep your real hair in great condition. I want to help my clients achieve their goals, but I want their hair to be in better condition than when we started.”
Hair Lingerie’s extensions are worn by well-known celebrities because they're the most natural, highest quality of hair, Sarah says.
“Ninety-nine percent of hair extensions have a chemical coating on them,” Sarah says. “After eight to 12 washes, those chemical coatings wash off. So, you go from soft to tangled and discolored after washing.”
Sarah says Hair Lingerie is literally the top-quality natural human hair in the world and has no chemical coatings applied to it. So, the wearer will get six to eight weeks before move-up with no damage to their natural hair. And, with less processing to the hair than other extensions require, the client can expect a lifespan of six to nine months for their extensions.
She states, “There are other low-cost hair extensions out there, but you will spend more in the long run because of the lesser quality.”
Learning new factors about hair care and design is what motivates Sarah. “I've always been passionate about hair, and Hair Lingerie has given me another salon offering I feel is unmatched,” she says.
She says after more than a quarter of century in the industry, she finally decided to open her own salon in 2023. “During COVID, people gave up a lot of things. But hair was not one of them. I think people even got pickier about their hair, looking at themselves all day on Zoom calls. If I can empower them to feel better about themselves, that’s what I want to do. Every day should be a great hair day.”
So Sarah decided to bring “a little bit of Hollywood to a small town.” And, she called it The Red Beauty Salon at her husband, Toby Hayek’s suggestion: named for his “beautiful, red-headed wife."

“It’s important to know what you’re purchasing, especially when lab-grown stones should cost considerably less.”

Roemer Originals Jewelry Professionals
Design One-Of-A-Kind Pieces That Reflect Unique Finesse, Personalities Of Wearers
Lab-created diamonds recently surged in popularity. Consumers are drawn to these diamonds for their affordability and smaller environmental footprint, says Melinda Nolan, owner of Roemer Originals Jewelry in St. Charles.
Melinda says she views man-made diamonds as providing another excellent option, given that her store carries rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, watches, eternity bands and gemstones.
"Lab-grown diamonds have the same chemical, physical and optical properties as mined diamonds, just at a lower price point,” she explains.
However, Melinda says there are a few factors to consider when purchasing a lab-grown diamond rather than an earth-mined diamond. "First, when shopping, be sure to ask whether you're looking at lab-grown or mined diamonds. Not all retailers are disclosing this detail when selling lab grown stones."
The market price for lab-grown diamonds continues to fall, which is great for purchasing, but makes resale value more uncertain, she explains. "If that matters, you may want to go with a natural diamond."
Due to unstable market prices for lab-grown diamonds, most retailers won't accept lab diamonds as a trade-in toward an upgrade, or make offers to purchase them, Melinda reveals. "Because many people want to upgrade their diamond in the future, or are in the situation of wanting to sell their diamond, this is definitely something to consider."
Second, even though lab and mined diamonds are chemically the same, the "natural" origin of a diamond might matter to some people.
Melinda says there's a “romance” factor in purchasing a diamond that took millions of years to create.
“Whether you're looking for mined diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, moissanites or colored gemstones, we can help you look at all of the options to determine what’s right for you,” she adds.
Specializing in custom-created, hand-carved, one-of-a-kind pieces since 1975, Melinda says as a full-service business they also offer repair services, jewelry insurance appraisals and corporate gifts. They buy gold estate jewelry, too.

“MY HAPPY PLACE”
ARTICLE BY ROBIN SEATON JEFFERSON | PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHRISTINA SCHMIDT PHOTOGRAPHY
MARKETPLACE AT THE ABBEY BOUTIQUE CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY
Marketplace at The Abbey is custom furniture. It’s casual design. It’s considered beautiful finds.
Laura Wilson is celebrating the 10th anniversary of her fine furniture and lifestyle boutique in Manchester at 14334 Manchester Road. She says it’s become one of the best places in St. Louis for beautiful, unique items for homes.
The Abbey is known for home décor and custom furniture made in the United States. But it’s also popular for its baby, garden and charcuterie sections, lamps, accessories and artwork that all blend elegance with functionality. The shop offers the grandest in home furnishings, accents, florals and housewares, alongside realistic pieces that each tell a story, Laura says.
“The Abbey is a truly unique shopping experience. It’s a place you can come in and just wander. People who come in say, ‘This is my happy place.’ They just get lost,” Laura says. “They come in for a lamp and think, ‘Oh, I forgot. I need a baby gift.’ They leave with things they didn’t know they were looking for.”
From a candle that burns well, to a blanket that has a nice weight to it, everything is unique at The Abbey. “We don’t have a lot of anything. That’s why we call them beautiful, unique finds,” Laura says. “From our family to yours, we put lots of love and careful attention in selecting each and every item we sell.”
The Abbey specializes in hostess gifts. “They are a huge part of what we do,” Laura says. “You might pair a charcuterie board with a beautiful spreader and a jam we might sell.”
Christmastime is a favorite of Laura’s and a wonderful time at The Abbey. So much so, she starts decorating in mid-October. With a life-size reindeer singing Michael Bublé songs and
a
dozen Christmas trees situated perfectly about the store, Laura says The Abbey is particularly “magical and special at Christmastime. It’s almost like a little FAO Schwarz, where you can escape the hustle and bustle and just get lost in the beauty and creativity.”
Shoppers can come in with a photo of a place or item in their home they want to improve or redo, and Laura or one of her associates will suggest décor to complement or completely remake the space. The Abbey also offers design services where an associate can go to a customer’s home to see their spaces up-close and personal. Laura also offers Christmas decorating with her clients' own decorations or new ones purchased from the store. Bridal and baby registrations are also available.
“Home is truly a special place. It's where life happens and where your family's story is written,” Laura says. “At The Abbey, we can help people turn their house into a home with custom furnishings and beautiful finds."
Marketplace At The Abbey also offers CR Laine Custom Furniture, thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted. “Handmade in the United States, this completely customizable furniture is created by the hands and hearts of North Carolina's finest artisans with unmatched style, comfort and color,” Laura says.
Laura invites her customers to “be inspired and explore the craftsmanship” of CR Laine Custom Furniture, whose motto is “made for generations by generations,” where style means relaxed, refined, classic and comfortable, and where colors are deeply personal and endlessly inspiring.
Founded in 1958 by Clarence Roseman, CR Laine has always been family owned and operated. For more than 60 years, the CR Laine family has thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted everything they build, making customized, bench-crafted upholstery in their hometown of Hickory, NC. The company delivers classic style with a modern perspective to The Abbey.
According to CR Laine’s website, while the company utilizes new processes and equipment, they've held true to time-tested premium construction features, such as eight-way, hand-tied springs.
The company says color is the primary method of self-expression in a person’s home. So, they curate an eclectic yet cohesive collection of textiles from artisans around the world. Their hands-on approach gives their products unmatched style, comfort, and color.
The company is also committed to preserving the resources of the world for future generations. They say it is “their goal to minimize the environmental impacts of our company through the continual improvement of waste reduction and use of sustainable practices.”
“We're proud to offer the highest quality, most unique furniture and home décor in the St. Louis area,” Laura says. “From our family to yours, we put lots of love and careful attention in selecting each and every item we sell. We hope you enjoy our shop as much as we enjoy bringing it to you.”

Empowering Portraits’
Professionals Honor
Individuality, Relationships, Freedom
Photography sessions that wholeheartedly celebrate authenticity, strength, wisdom and beauty enable people to unapologetically reflect into a photo-based mirror image without wincing or feeling self-conscious. Those magical kinds of sessions are exactly the genuine, easy-going type in which a St. Louis photography couple specializes through their Empowering Portraits business.
Danijela and Yagil Kadera love taking "real" photos of individuals, couples and women 40-plus years young. But they also relish capturing unique bonds and unconditional love shared between pets and their peeps.
"We specialize in simplistic, artistic portraits all about empowering women to embrace self-love and their beauty. We also enjoy and photograph all pets, all breeds, all sizes," explains Danijela.
Yagil says their portrait experiences are all about clients. "From understanding your unique portrait needs to planning and styling, sessions result in powerful moments and portraits to love and cherish beyond a lifetime."
Overall, this dynamic duo categorizes their client photo sessions as personal branding, enchanting portraits, women empowerment, sophisticated boudoir, generational legacies and love sessions for couples.
Creating captivating moments is what separates cute snapshots from timeless portraits, reminds Dani. "A professional portrait photographer captures your life with a touch of artistry. Your life and your story is unique and deserves to be cherished, with each picture speaking a thousand words. Many people think they aren't photogenic, but they actually are," she says.
Their services include a wardrobe fitting prior to the photo session, then hair and makeup assistance, along with refreshments and a session music playlist based on each client's preferences.
"We laugh, chat, dance, play dress up, share and sometimes cry our way through sessions. Everyone has such fun, and gains so much confidence, they can't believe they just completed photos," affirms Dani.
Through various levels of images, she says their goal is to capture the "casual, powerful, glamorous and sensual" versions of clients. "Oftentimes, women discover they love a version of themselves that they used to be, not who they are presently. We bring out the worthiness of who they've become, plus their accumulated inner and outer beauty, and we're proud of the self-love we can help revive."
This year, Dani says they've been expanding the personal branding and couples sessions. "It's wonderful to see couples finally be present in the moment with each other."
On to 40 Over 40: This project is one for which Dani is particularly proud. In 2022, she made it a mission to photograph 40 women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, via a transformational and empowering experience focused on celebration and self-love. And she did. The images were captured in an inspiring presentation that emphasized body positivity and embraced the concepts of aging. She received so many more requests, she completed another round of women's portraits during spring 2023. She says the 2024 project also is complete, and she's already planning the round for 2025.
In fact, an exhibition and celebration party regarding the 2024 40 Over 40 participants will be held Sept. 27 at 6 p.m. at The Schlafly Tap Room – Club Room. For event details, email info@empoweringportraits.com.
"For 40 Over 40 sessions, women let go of selfdoubts and reasons why they didn't see themselves as worthy and beautiful. I relate to all this, being over 40 myself. However, women of all ages, and all wonderful shapes and sizes, are uniquely beautiful and deserve to be acknowledged, seen and celebrated. That's a part of my job I absolutely love," proclaims Dani.

New Town At St. Charles Provides Beloved Lifestyle Community
Imagine a picturesque community conceived during 2003 to provide its residents with all of life's day-to-day amenities within walkable or biking distance, or perhaps even golf carts. Now imagine a unique, mixed-use neighborhood currently serving as home to a coffee shop, food market, a bakery café, shacks for pizza, ice cream, sno-cones and snacks, a New York style restaurant, a Mexican restaurant, an animal clinic, an animal spa, wine bar, brewtique, a dance studio, three churches, a fitness/wellness center and event spaces.
This visionary destination is the reallife, close-knit neighborhood called New Town At St. Charles!
NT also has three lakes stocked for fishing and available for swimming, canoeing and kayaking. Civic Green Park is one of three parks that offer a pathway for an enjoyable stroll, benches located throughout to curl up and read, or just let kids run and play on the playground. There are two swimming pools, as well. The amphitheater is wonderful for family movie nights, events and concerts that take place throughout
the year. Town Hall is a beautiful place for special showers or receptions.
Kudos to founding NT board members: Greg Whittaker, David Price, Tim Busse, Danna Gilbert and Perry Whittaker. Community Association and Property Management services presently are provided to The New Town at St. Charles General Assembly by DNI Properties, Inc.
Examples of special events now hosted at New Town include a free concert "Pink Houses: Tribute to John Cougar Mellencamp" on Sept. 1; Chalk the Walk artists design along the Canal on Sept. 14; and a Corn Hole Tournament Sept. 28.
JOIN THE MILESTONE CELEBRATION:
NT's 20th anniversary party is scheduled for Sept. 20 at the Amphitheater. It will reflect the ambiance of an old time festival between 5-7 p.m., featuring games, cake walk and other fun activities, followed by ultimate rock 'n rollers Trixie Delight for a free musical concert from 7-10 p.m.
