Interiors guru Kelly Hoppen on the
importance of taking down time
Welcome to
Stylist
January is always a gloomy month;
but this year it’s been especially
arduous. The snow that seemed
enchanting before Christmas is
now tiresome, troublesome and
a little bit boring. Working women
have taken the brunt, struggling
with childcare,
travel chaos
and depleted
workforces.
To add to our
misery (thanks
a lot), scientists
have used
a formula to
calculate the
most depressing
day of the year,
taking into account weather,
finances and motivation levels.
They found it always falls on the
fourth Monday in January – which
is next week.
As this day of joy approaches,
we’ve decided to rebrand Blue
Monday. January 25 is now the day
to book your dream holiday and
swap your January blues for the
azure shades of idyllic beaches.
To start you off we’ve cherry-
picked the most exclusive hotels
to inspire you (page 30). With
a holiday in the bag, January will
never seem more cheery.
