    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.

Target Tiered Maroon Dress
Credit: Target

Although Southerners may be divided when it comes to football allegiances, we do agree on one thing: When we see a cute game day dress in our college's colors, we always add to cart. Now tailgating season is upon us, and we've done the shopping for you (at least, we've given you a fantastic headstart). Here we've compiled our favorite under-$100 game day dresses to fit every style—and your favorite football team's colors. No matter if your home team bleeds crimson, orange, purple, blue, or true red, we've spotted stylish options for every Southerner gearing up for game days. (And many of these dresses come in multiple colors, for those who don't spot their team shade.) We've even put in a few tailgating outfit options for those who wish to remain neutral, should a family feud be at risk. Now all that's left is memorizing the SEC schedule, planning the tastiest tailgate, and—of course—picking the perfect game day outfit.
