    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.

Fall Hairstyles to Show Your Stylist, Stat

Internal Layers

An ode to summer: "We hate to see you go, but we love to watch you leave." Sure, beach trips and tomato pie are two of our all-time favorite things, but we can say the same about football season and apple-bourbon pie. And so we take the season change very seriously, despite the persistent heat that often runs well into October. See you later, summer.

Fall is finally here, and that means repairing hair from our long, hot, and humid Southern summers by heading to the salon to chop off dead ends dried out from sun, chlorine, and seawater. So why not get a trendy new haircut while you're at it? Be it textured layers, choppy bangs, or even the bob du saison, there's no better way to embrace all things fall than by starting with a trip to the hair salon. We've got short, long, and everything in between to fit your autumn mood.

Here are the best hairstyles for your new fall look!

Mark our words: Short, light layers like these by stylist Justine Marjan hold a fresh blowout like nobody's business. Expect a look that's airy, bouncy, and just a touch retro.

Collarbone Side Bob

For those with naturally thin or fine hair, try this short bob with major attitude on for size. Pick a thickness-feigning blunt length and pair it with a deeply sassy side part.

Pinned Curls

Curls shouldn't be contained—but some super cute pearl barrettes certainly don't hurt. They also happen to look great with any autumn ensemble.

Soft Face-Framing

While sharp angles and blunt ends are fine and well, we love a soft look, too. This one features low-key layering that lightens up long hair and frames the face so flatteringly.

Asymmetrical Lob Length

Sure, lob-length cuts never go out of style—but there's nothing wrong with a seasonal update. Enter: the asymmetrical lob. It adds just the touch of edginess that autumn (and our darkened-down wardrobe) craves.

This bob is sharper than your mother's tongue when she's feeling frisky. Keep it all the same length and smooth it down into silky, glass-like perfection.

Clavicle Bob

Bobs are always getting reinvented, and this chic version is heralded as "the clavicle bob." It hits right at your most flattering spot, you guessed it, the clavicle bone. In the ultimate power move, celebrity stylist Kristin Ess (seen here) chopped her own hair into this cut and paired it with perfect soft waves.

Soft Blunt Bob

Take your blunt bob in a slightly softer direction, especially if making the chop for the first time (just like this client of stylist Sal Salcedo). Not to mention, chin-length hair is super chic for turtleneck season.

Fringed Shoulder Cut

Even snatching off a couple of inches makes a huge difference at the end of a season. Split ends who? Add wispy bangs for extra flair.

Internal Layers

For those blessed with thick strands, it can be tricky to get the volume and body you want without having to maintain super short or thinned-out layers. Keep all of your thickness—while injecting some major body into your mane—by asking for internal layers.

Add instant personality to any short cut by taking the backside up a few inches to a very subtle A-line. It makes hair look so much more volume-packed.

Curls Gone Wild

The coming of autumn has us dreaming of wild, unkempt red curls—and this mane makes a case for ditching last year's curly shag cut for good. Let those curls run wild.

It's hard to beat the classic lob length, and it's even harder to resist when paired with golden-caramel layers that hit all the right spots: temple, cheekbone, chin. Now that's the sort of autumn glow we're into.

Long Shag Styles

Another fringed looker on the horizon, a shag haircut is a no-brainer for those with a medium-to-long mane that want a change. It has all the layers, bangs, and sass.

If you're ready to add major body to your shoulder-length hair, try bluntly cut layers. It keeps all the volume and thickness, while making sure your hair doesn't fall flat this season. Go with a trendy copper-caramel color to seal the deal.
