    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.

Louise Colligan Circa 1970

Deirdre Hogan Zahl's Mom Owner of Candy Shop Vintage in Charleston, SC

In all areas of life, my mom is an interesting combination of a free spirit and a pragmatist. For example, my parents were both writers, and a few years after they married, they quit their jobs to go backpacking through Europe. I love that both my parents are unconventional in that way. Mom’s heyday was in the sixties and seventies, so it’s no surprise that she’s very bohemian and all about natural beauty. I, on the other hand, always pick style over comfort—especially when it comes to shoes. Mom has been known to come knocking at my door when she needs dressy heels for special occasions, and lucky for her, we wear the same size.”
