    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-Blooming Wildflowers We Love

Whether we're happening upon a patch of wildflowers in a forest somewhere or planning a trip to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas, we're always delighted to encounter wildflowers. They're hardy bloomers that sprout where they're planted, and they add a scattering of pretty flowerheads even in environments where other plants find it difficult to grow. Depending on the species of plant, you can find wildflowers growing wild at any time of year. They seem particularly special in the fall when leaves are falling and branches are growing bare. Smatterings of blooms in assorted colors brighten up the landscape and add an infusion of cheer. That must have been what Lady Bird Johnson, the former First Lady and namesake of Texas's botanic garden, had in mind when she called wildflowers "the stuff of [her] heart." When we see fall-blooming wildflowers, we can't help but wholeheartedly agree.
