    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.

Heirloom Tomato Pie Recipe
Credit: Victor Protasio; Prop Styling: Heather Chadduck Hillegas; Food Styling: Chelsea Zimmer
When it comes to farm-fresh ingredients, July is about as good as it gets in the South. Tomatoes, corn, peaches, okra, berries, butter beans, watermelons, and summer squash—we could write a love letter to summer food in the South that would give John Keats a run for his money. In fact, we did. Our July 2019 issue is just that.Starting with an heirloom tomato pie that will make your Mama cry in delight, move onto four tasty recipes that take summer corn up a notch, then still onto a foolproof grilling menu filled with mains and sides that belong at your Fourth of July cookout, and finish with two sweet summer treats: a watermelon chiffon pie and a berry-filled tart. As long as your table is filled with fresh summer produce, it's hard to go wrong…but these make you go super, super right. Here are 24 fresh new recipes to try this July.
