    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.

Hart Hagerty Chartreuse Tassel Earrings

Sometimes, it's the people you love most and know best that are the hardest to shop for—and that includes your dear sister. When it comes to gift ideas for your built-in best friend, think about her hobbies, her house, and the things she'd never buy for herself. Does she love spending time in the kitchen trying out new recipes? She'd probably appreciate a new Dutch oven. If she's busy ferrying kids to and fro, she likely hasn't splurged on a little luxury for herself like great monogrammed bath towels in quite a while. If your sister is especially tricky to shop for (you know the type), you can always take the strategic route of buying something you love. That way, if she doesn't like it, you can just "borrow" it for yourself. (She's already used to you stealing things out of her closet throughout your teen years anyway.) This season, we've taken the mystery out of shopping for your sister. Here, we've rounded up 30 great Christmas gifts for sisters.
