    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.

Peek around any corner in our homes and you're bound to come face to face with a well-placed monogram anywhere you turn. Bath towels? Check. Pillowcases? Check. Cocktail napkins, signature water cups, bathrobes and cosmetic cases? Honestly, it's safer to assume that we've got *all* of our bases covered—and there's certainly never any need to wonder who those monogrammed slippers belong to. Although this is typically the scene set in any Southerner's home on a regular basis, we tend to crank things up a few notches around the holidays. With several generations waiting patiently on Santa's arrival, personalizing any items we can get our hands on helps keep disorder at bay (or at least, gives us the illusion of having things totally under control!). In line with the season that shows some of our more noteworthy Southern stereotypes in their full-fledged form, we've rounded up a few options for personalizing what might be our favorite holiday detail: Christmas stockings. Whether a classic needlepoint stocking or a more modern, monogrammed Christmas stocking, the options our editors have pulled are certain to fit any family—from the more traditional bunch to the ones who are just here for a good time. No matter if you're a newly married couple, a grandparent proudly hosting a gaggle of grandkids, or anywhere in between—we're sure you'll find just what you need. Take a peek at these personalized Christmas stockings, and you're sure to get in the Southern holiday spirit.
