    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.

Brunettes might be running full speed ahead towards ashy tones for fall 2019— hello, ash brown!—but blondes aren't quite so keen on the cool, borderline-smoky hue. Instead we're heading to the other end of the spectrum, specifically towards a blonde shade that is both anti-ash and anti-beach blonde.You could say the in-between color comes from a place of "no," and we're here for that kind of sass.  It's called wheat blonde, and we're ready to reap, harvest, and sow the gorgeous shade every way we can.What makes it perfect for fall? Like we said, it's not too cool and not too warm—which happens to make it the perfect transitional shade for blondes. It's also perfect for incredibly indecisive blondes who can't decide how they feel about ashy versus warm tones. (Just me?)This wheat-colored blonde shade straddles the spectrum somewhere between beige and butter blonde, which makes it decidedly warm without going totally golden beach babe. Plus, you can take it either direction, dark or light, to suit your fall mood, and we're giving all the salon inspiration you need.Here are 10 gorgeous ways with wheat blonde hair to try this fall.
