    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.

Every Southern woman has a favorite shop or department store or boutique that she can't live without. Some provide much-needed retail therapy; others come through when you're having a serious fashion emergency. There are shops you rely on for that one-of-a-kind hostess gift or birthday present for your best friend. And then there are those charming shops that you and your mother and grandmother have been shopping in since you were a little girl. RELATED: The South's Best Shops 2017 Whether big city or small town, there are so many incredible spots to shop. And proof was in the list that were are revealing today. Some of your favorites of 2017 are classics that have been around for decades, a few shops are new to the areas (hello, Reese Witherspoon's Nashville boutique!), but they all have a sense of community and great stylish sensibility. RELATED: The South's Best Shop 2017: The Paris Market & BrocanteThe Paris Market stands took the top spot overall. This little Savannah gem blends Southern hospitality with European aesthetics, whether it's scooping lavender buds into cloth sacks near the cash register, finding an instant dose of aromatherapy through their candle collection, or admiring the mix of French antiques in the basement level.
