    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.

We all have fond memories of watching our mothers and grandmothers get ready at the vanity in their terry housedresses or tea-length robes, which is why we've always known there is a big difference between the cozy, thick robe you wear at night watching a Hallmark movie and the breezy, silky robe you wear when getting ready in the morning, especially during a sweltering summer in the South. That's where the lightweight day robe comes in.

Not dissimilar to the loose, comfy muumuu, a summer robe is meant to be light and airy, made from breathable cotton or silky satin and coming in all lengths and styles. Whether a gingham wrap robe, floral kimono, or monogrammed bath robe, these lightweight robes are made to keep you cool while getting ready for the day or sashaying glamorously around the house in the dead of a hot summer. Here are 12 pretty ones to shop now and sweat never.
