    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.

Vietri Lastra Christmas Tree

Christmastime comes around each year bringing festive family gatherings, fun holiday parties, and endless feasts along with it. We can smell the heavenly aroma of cinnamon and cranberry simmering on the stovetop, and we can definitely taste our grandmother's homemade cheese straws (perhaps, a few too many). It's the best time of year, and spending it with friends and family makes it even better. No holiday celebration is complete without breaking out the Christmas china to set the perfect table. It's special in that it gets everyone in the Christmas spirit. As far as Southern holiday traditions go, of which there are many, putting together a holiday get-together that'll leave everyone feeling extra festive. And it must be done in traditional Southern fashion, complete with our Christmas china, the good silver, and maybe some ambrosia. When it comes to Christmas china, there are so many patterns that reflect the season. Selecting seasonal china is no easy feat, as we want to choose a pattern that will withstand the test of time, while also giving a hint of our personality. Whether you're more fancy or casual, or if you're more classic or modern, there is a beautiful holiday china pattern for every hosting style. Here are some of our favorite Christmas china patterns you'll love for your home during the holidays.
