Stay at home with Vogue. As we've spent most of 2020 at home, our December issue is all about embracing your space and upgrading it to welcome new beginnings. As Mindy Kaling talks about her time at home and a light shone upon fashion that elevates your personal style statement for home gatherings, we take a look at the year that was 2020. While ardent travellers live out of their suitcases at home, there is a legion of people that have furthered their skincare routines. Girls don't shy away from discussing real problems and we catch a glimpse of the lockdown's mini makeup trends. Our kitchen and bathroom report lead the way to reclaim a house in the most poised manner.
