Carol’s Daughter, first brought you the revolutionary Water-To-Foam shampoo last year and is now putting a spin on wash day with three NEW additions to the Wash Day Delight line. To complement the original Water-To-Foam shampoo, Carol’s Daughter released yet another first of its kind formula: the Wash Day Delight Jelly-To-Cream Conditioner. Like the shampoo, the conditioner is also blended with Aloe + Glycerin, for 5x more moisture and 10x easier detangling. Plus, now you can experience the Water-To-Foam Shampoo and Jelly-To-Cream Conditioner with the original Aloe or with Rose Water. These transformative formulas cut down time on wash day so it really is love at first wash!

Since its introduction, the Wash Day Delight Water-To-Foam Shampoo has changed the game and quickly became a cult favorite with dedicated fans looking for more ways to love their wash day. Never one to hold back, Carol’s Daughter has delivered the Wash Day Delight Jelly-To-Cream Conditioner with Aloe for instant moisture and tangle melting technology AND the full regimen with Rose Water for petal-soft hydration, hair blooming with shine and gentle scalp care.

“This time in quarantine has taught us a few things, like how important it is to REALLY care for our hair in between salon visits and also, how valuable time is,” explains Carol’s Daughter Founder Lisa Price. “For African-American women, when it comes to our hair, less tangles, and more moisture, shine and softness are a must. Not only do these products provide that, but they truly cut down on time during wash day so you can get back to the things that truly matter. Trust me, one wash changes everything!”

Wash Day Delight Jelly-To-Cream Conditioner with Aloe + Glycerin

The jelly-to-cream formula, infused with Aloe and Glycerin transforms into a nourishing cream to envelop the hair from roots to ends, deeply condition with intense moisture and melt away tangles instantly. It easily spreads through hair, providing perfect slip so curls glide past each other, minimizing tangles, and untying knots, so you can detangle in less time. (20 fl oz)

Wash Day Delight Water-To-Foam Shampoo + Wash Day Delight Jelly-To-Cream Conditioner with Rose Water

The revolutionary Water-To-Foam Shampoo and Jelly-To-Cream Conditioner are now also available with Rose Water for a delicate cleanse and weightless hydration. Just like the original that started it all, the shampoo’s targeted applicator helps the liquid formula instantly flow through hair providing easy scalp access. It quickly rinses clean and the rose water adds a layer of hydration for happy, clean hair. (16.9 fl oz/20 fl oz)

The Wash Day Delight line is made with everything your hair will love---it’s vegan and contains no parabens or artificial colors. The new innovations are available at CarolsDaughter.com, Amazon.com, Target.com and retailers nationwide starting at $10.99.

Handbags are forever. They are essential to any outfit not only style-wise, but also as a piece that is essential for everyday life to carry your things. Finding handbags that suit your style and compliment your looks is a must for every woman. Luckily whether you prefer a classic style or trendy style, there are plenty of options to choose fromFor this winter, here are a few hot bag trends to keep an eye on:

Chains

Chain details are in all around this year, from accessories to handbags. Bottega Veneta came out with a handbag that beautifully brought the chain detail to the handbag in true high fashion style. As a chunky strap for a soft handbag, your eye is immediately drawn to the chain detail here. You’ll see smaller chain details on other handbags, so whether you want a statement or a subtle add for this trend, you can pair a bit of edginess to your winter looks this way. If you’re looking to step up your game and maybe even buy one this Christmas, you can find beautiful cross body handbags for ladies in stores like Mirta.

Leather totes

Leather totes have gone in and out of style, and this year they are certainly in. The tote is effortless chic and gives you plenty of space to carry your essentials around during the day. Now you’ll find different shapes and sizes for the leather totes, including circle totes.

Top handle bag

A top handle bag looks chic and is also a very practical bag to have in your collection. It is also easily one of the most popular trends this year. There are top handle bags with and without a longer strap so depending on how you intend to use it, you have the option there.

Croissant bag

We’ve seen many different shapes for our beloved handbags over the years.. and this year’s trend of the croissant bag just may be a favorite. Resembling the beloved croissant, this handbag has the subtle folds and shape of a croissant and switches up the standard handbag shape for some extra style. Bonus: it’s also soft against your hip and comfortable to wear.

Metallic

Sure, classic colors and neutral handbags make for great investments. But for a trendy bag where you can really express your style and have some fun, the metallic trend is the one to go with. Metallics are the new neutrals this season.

Microbags

Microbags were in last year, and this year they still are but in a bit of a different way. While you still have the option of wearing them on their own, they are now being seen as a small coin purse or attachment to a larger bag. This looks especially chic worn as a crossbody with a two-part handbag, as it cinches in your winter layers and draws attention to this fashion (and practical) piece.

Quilted textures

Why not add a bit of texture to your look with your handbag? Quilted textures perfectly compliment the winter season, adding softness to a season that often sees very streamlined high fashion looks.

These are just some of the handbag trends out there for this winter season, and whether you want to invest or just find a new trendy bag to add to your collection, this is the season to do it. With all the warm layers necessary for the winter season, your handbag is the accessory that will and should really stand out!

Fashion designer Victoria Beckham and fitness and lifestyle brand Reebok have collaborated once again on a new collection of sportswear for the street and the gym, Drop Four.

In line with previous seasons, each style in Drop Four is vetted and worn by Victoria herself, ensuring it reflects her vision of style, love of sportswear, and many hours spent in the gym. This approach is then fused with Reebok’s technology and innovation. The result: high-performance pieces that go from the gym to the street to the school run – and beyond.

“Reebok x Victoria Beckham is about clothes that make me feel confident, but that I don’t have to think too much about. I want true performance pieces for the gym, that have been thoughtfully and meticulously designed to be adaptable, and to move with me for all facets of my life.” — Victoria Beckham, Creative Director

Scarlet red and burgundy are highlight colours, while soft camel and alabaster offer a sophisticated touch. Rounding out the palette is crisp, classic black, which is given a new, unexpected touch with high-contrast, graphic yellow branding.

Bold silhouettes set the tone for the season and Drop Four sees the introduction of more body-conscious styles with sharp yet subtle touches of branding, including the Logo Crop Top, with its flattering cutout detail, and the 7/8 Logo Tight – both with a luxurious matte finish.

The Seamless Crop Top and Seamless Tight are personal favourites of Victoria’s thanks to their flattering shape and performance-level comfort; each garment is knitted in one piece to avoid any seams disrupting a workout. For Drop Four, the range has been pushed even further with new ribbing that evokes the trims on vintage pieces.

Inspired by Victoria's online community, the bestselling Japanese terrycloth Cowl-neck Jumper has returned and the Travel Hoodie and Tight has been updated with a more relaxed, loungewear feel to suit a wider range of lifestyles. An outdoor sports-inspired collection wouldn’t be complete without a puffer jacket, and the down-filled thermal Cropped Puffer, merino-blend Neck Warmer, Gloves and Beanie are perfect for taking your workout outdoors.

Accessories include a utilitarian, convertible Tote Bag-Backpack and the new Mini Bag, another favourite of Victoria’s. For footwear, the focus is firmly on the Rapide, available in different colour combinations, including a bold red, white and blue and a vintage-inspired stucco, field and tan. As with previous collections, the Rapide complements the Bolton – available in black or white leather and red knitted fabric, to match the apparel – and the basketball-inspired Dual Court sneaker, bringing updated archive pieces to new light.
