This year on the runway, bones other than model's ribs and knees made a debut. Alexander McQueen without a doubt has introduced the fashion industry to the wondrous world of skulls, making the normally Gothic symbol a fashionable success years ago. Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel followed the trend by creating dodgy heels, and taboo imagery nearly two years ago. Currently, these Dsquared Fall 2010 shoes carry on that legacy with an anthropologist's dream shoe - thus resulting in the creation of these skeletal stilettos. The series features a variety of high heeled boots and shoes that feature heels that look like they are made from spinal columns.

Finally! All the beauty required without any of the bites! Formulated by a British botanist who found herself being served up as a mosquito main course! Alfresco has a sweet, spicy fragrance that smells lovely to humans but is repugnant to insects. So why is Alfresco Natural Insect Repellent a choice beauty find? Simply because the 'Beauty with out Bites' lotion keeps annoying bugs at bay, with the added bonus over other repellents of moisturizing and conditioning the skin without adding toxic chemicals. It is DEET-free and uses the botanical extracts of 20 blended essential oils, including geranium, lavender, cinnamon, and melissa, to ward off pests. It is also recommended by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, which put it through extensive testing. In fact, they have gone so far as to recommend the anti-bug lotion particularly for babies, children, and people with sensitive skin.
