WHAT’S IN STORE
give me strength
Actresses such as Demi Moore, Kate Beckinsale and Gwyneth Paltrow go to great lengths to keep their locks in tip-top condition. Hair coloring, extensions and just stress in general can take a toll on locks. But these A-listers have two secret weapons in their arsenal of hair products — Terax Hydrate Botanica and Terax Life Drops. The former is a leave-in conditioner that rejuvenates and protects hair from sun and chemicals. The latter is a leave-in protein conditioner that strengthens hair and restores elasticity. Terax Hydrate Botanica and Terax Life Drops, $20 each, Sephora

must-have
The little black dress finds a new best friend this fall in the zipper, a simple accessory that transforms this seemingly ordinary dress into a memorable statement piece. London fashion designer Alexander McQueen created this body-hugging number that appears as if it could zip over your head. And reports from Outfit at Wynn Las Vegas say it’s flying off the racks so quickly that the store is reordering so you, too, can have your chance at a standout dress. Alexander McQueen zipper dress, $1,295, Outfit at Wynn Las Vegas
