Collections by Joya is more than just another jewelry company. It's an internationally owned, for women, by women, artisan brand; a channel for jewelers all over the world to share their unique, handmade treasures; and a support system for women everywhere. How did a local St. Louis jeweler become all of this? According to co-founder Betsy Blancett-Nacrelli it's a simple matter of having a lifelong passion for women and a quick 14 years of experience in international retail and design. 

Tastes evolve, and so do restaurants. At Boundary, the Cheshire’s signature restaurant, the vibe, the décor and the menu all changed recently, along with the name.

The setting has become a bit more casual, with the bar doubling in size and bright-green seating adding a pop of color to the center of the dining room. Prices are more moderate than they were at the Restaurant  – Boundary’s predecessor.

Angie and Lindsay, mother and daughter, have owned The White Rabbit for 12 years and have dreamed of creating their own home collection to share with their customers. Handcrafted locally, the line of pretty, casual and cozy furniture is built to last. 

Peggy Deguire and Richard Supanich took the leap from single-family-home ownership to condo living and haven’t looked back since. They purchased their St. Louis Hills home right out of college and thought they’d spend the rest of their lives there; but as time went on their plans began to change. “As we’ve gotten older, we want to travel more,” says Peggy. With 2,500 square feet to upkeep as well as a yard, the thought of condo living was very appealing to the couple.

When you walk into Nicole and Craig Jobe’s polished two-story home in University City, it’s hard to imagine that it was once a space with dark walls and no design direction. After the city-loving couple moved in a year and a half ago, they quickly turned to their friend, designer Marie Curtis of M. Curtis Collection, for style inspiration and a much-needed makeover. “We wanted our home to be chic, bright and clutter-free, and we knew Marie would be able to give us just that,” explains Nicole.
