    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The beginning of a new year often has us all feeling like starting off fresh by taking on better habits, getting rid of old ones, and—most commonly—changing up our look. While others are hitting the squats and going into the salon for a pixie cut, why not start slow and steady with a cozy winter manicure in a color that feels new to you? It takes only a little courage to step outside your usual OPI Lincoln Park After Dark or Essie Bordeaux, which is all you need to kick 2022 off on a fanciful foot.  From new wintry takes on classic dark nail colors to unique pops of color that'll have you feeling the opposite of boring, these are the best nail colors to try this January and tick off all the way into spring.

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    There's no denying how the pandemic fundamentally changed the world—including how we live (and work) inside our homes. An overall trend toward celebrating the history and originality of our homes is displacing ultramodern aesthetics and sharp lines as we all look to create cozier, colorful, more personalized spaces that better suit our lifestyles. We're turning away from big-box stores and toward vintage items—first, out of necessity due to supply-chain issues, and now, for design reasons—to add charm and character to every room in the house, including the kitchen. Here, interior designers from around the South share their predictions for what's trending in kitchen design for 2022 and beyond.

Heloise McKee

Sid's Grandmother Heloise McKee in 1965

Summer has never been my grandmother’s best friend. She doesn’t like going to the beach or sitting by the pool, and she has always avoided the sun like the plague—which is not easy to do in Memphis, where she raised three kids. This is a rare photo of her enjoying the beach at Sea Island, Georgia, in 1965 while hiding behind sunglasses, a head scarf, and a favorite straw hat. “Other people get a nice glow, but all I ever do is get red,” she says—a typical Heloise zinger. Wickedly funny, stylish, and quick to laugh, she has always taken care of herself, which is perhaps why she’s still so beautiful at age 96.
