Best makeover: Rihanna in Alaia

While we know Rihanna can be the definition of rated 18+, we were happy to see the superstar looking classy and understated. And her red Alaia dress? Simply Stunning.

Best burst of color: Katy Perry in Gucci

Katy Perry dazzled on the red carpet in her cleavage baring cut-out Gucci number. The light green complemented the singer’s striking eyes and long black hair. Way more flattering than her blue or purple mane!

Most disappointing fashion moment: Beyonce in Osman

Okay – so Queen B can take it easy after that epic Superbowl performance. However we were slightly underwhelmed by this unflattering pantsuit. Risks are cool, but we love Beyonce in flattering, feminine dresses that showcase that famous curvy bod.

Best dress code rebel: Kelly Rowland in Georges Chakra

The ladies of the red carpet tried their best to abide by the new Grammys dress code of not showing too much skin. Well Kelly Rowland certainly did not leave a lot to the imagination – we loved that she brought some edge to a mostly tame soiree.

Most predictable moment: Jennifer lopez in Anthony Vaccarello

It’s simply not an awards ceremony if J-Lo is not bringing on the sexy. The hot mama did not disappoint last night. Jen, her leg, and her boy toy certainly made an entrance and an impact.

Biggest uh-oh fashion moment: Adele in Valentino

While it’s nice to see the talented singer depart from her all black uniform, this curtain-like dress did not do her any favors.

Biggest cringe-worthy male outfit: John Mayer in Brioni

We know the quirky star can be unpredictable to say the least, but this bold blue suit was just a little much. He looked like a rebellious teenage boy on his way to prom. We wonder what his prom-date Katy Perry thought…

Best performance: Bob Marley tribute

Rihanna, Bruno Mars, and Ziggy Marley got the whole audience on their feet, jamming to some of the legend’s greatest hits.

Still on the lookout for that perfect bikini that flatters your shape? Enter Voda Swim – the revolutionary concept in bikini design. The magic is in the patent-pending Envy Push Up bikini top.

Where ordinary bikini cups sag and wrinkle, Voda Swim bikini tops create that coveted bikini bust.

Finding a bikini top that fits can be a frustrating and disappointing experience. That’s why the young fashion model and avid beach lover Yulia decided it was time for something fresh. She disliked how bikinis made her self-conscious. The tops didn’t provide any lift or contouring, and made her breasts look non-existent.

The secret is in the cup shape which ensures a perfect fit. The Envy Push Up top visually increases the bust size by up to two cup sizes and provides great lift and support.

If you’re a small-breasted women or are looking for some lift and support, then you’ll definitely want to shop this event!

Make it your most unforgettable summer yet and look absolutely fabulous in this cutting-edge collection.

HAIR

IN: RETRO BLOWOUTS        OUT: MESSY WAVES

While the whole messy bedhead look certainly had it’s run, right now it’s all about polished, bouncy blowouts. Though the look obviously takes more time (ugh), it has a nice chic appeal that’ll have you feeling Kate Middleton perfect.

JEWELRY       

IN: BOHEMIAN STYLE        OUT: MIXED STONES

From feathered earrings to long, bohemian style jewels, a bold gypsy look is all the rage. If you consider your style to be more minimalist, try easing into the trend with more subtle interpretations such as these delicate earrings. Add an exotic appeal to your daily look and retire those chunky stones.

HANDBAGS

IN: BOXY SHOPPERS        OUT: BAGS WITH FUR

Big boxy shopper bags have been spotted all over the runways this season. These sleek’n’chic styles are so modern, we’re sure you’ll get away with sporting them for years to come. What we’re over? Bags with fur trim. So 2011.

FOOTWEAR

IN: STACKED HEELS          OUT: THIN STILHETTOS

The days of Carrie Bradshaw strutting around town in her sky high stilettos feels like ages ago. Now it’s all about chunky, thick heels. While easier to walk in, they can appear bulky depending on your frame. Look for a pair with edge yet still uber-feminine. We love these by Calvin Klein.

SUNGLASSES

IN: OVER-SIZED SUNGLASSES        OUT: ROUND SHADES

We’re kind of happy that round sunglasses are making their way out. We think only a few trendy starlets pulled off this hip ‘60s look anyway (Sienna Miller comes to mind). What’s big this minute? Huge, almost futuristic styles. Not for the demure lady, these look-at-me shades are reserved for the adventurous type.

She’s painted for celebrities the likes of Celine Dion and the Kardashians, and now Elisabetta Fantone has brought her unique, artistic creations to BTR.

Always inspired by the arts, Elisabetta has been a force to be reckoned with for years. In 2006, she created her first collection of acrylic on canvas called “Various Faces” that garnered her a lot of attention as an artist. In 2007, her hit single “Feel” hit the radio and reached 2nd position on the Top 10 Mixdown Countdown.

Adding to her long list of accomplishments, she co-wrote her autobiography and has played in a wide variety of roles on numerous television and cinematographic projects.

When it comes to art, Elisabetta has always wanted to share her interpretations of pop culture with the world. And her most recent work, entitled ‘Marilyn,’ depicts one of the most recognized celebrities in history.

“I present images, primarily portraits of iconic figures in a sensationalistic approach, at times in rebellious behavior and at times in a fragile state,” she says.

These Marilyn Monroe reproductions are only available for a limited time. Pick up your piece today, autographed by the star herself.

Read our Q&A with the multitalented artist:

Q: You were on the hit reality show Loft Story, you’ve recorded a single, co-written your autobiography, and of course you act and painted for celebrities like the Kardashians and Celine Dion. Of all your passions, which one would you say is your greatest?

A: I wouldn’t be able to just pick one as all of my passions make me feel balanced and complete. Acting and painting are what I’m putting all my focus on at the moment. If I’m not doing one I’m doing the other. I also feel like my passions are intertwined as my work as a painter is inspired by music and cinema.

Q: How would you describeyour art?

A: Modern Pop Art.

Q: What inspired you to paint iconic celebrities?

A: I am stimulated by some of the world’s greatest icons of yesterday and today. I create famous portraits and my images are frequently influenced by the pop culture of the 50′s, 60′s, and 70′s. I have always been enthralled with the hope of sharing my personal outlook of the world of cinema, glamor, beauty and celebrities. My work is motivated by my related experiences of the alluring entertainment world. I like to paint celebrities that have an interesting story and I like to portray that story through their eyes.

Q: Let’s talk about your personal home décor style – what type of art do you like to hang in your home?

A: Funny enough my place is actually very zen. I’m a minimalist.  My whole place is very modern &  white.  I’m into pop art and some abstract art as well…mix media pieces…I’m looking at getting an Andy Warhol and pieces from actors and singers that also moonlight as painters. I would love to also get one of David Bowie’s artworks for instance.

Q: Do you have any style tips to share?

A: I believe in less is more. I also love the mix of styles such as having a clean modern place and adding some interesting antique pieces to bring in warmth and personality which is something I’m planning to do for my next home. Like I mentioned right now my place is very zen and white since I’m living on the beach I was looking at having a place filled with light and freshness.

Q: What can we expect from you in the future?

A: I have two movies coming out soon. Havana 57 which was shot in Cuba and in which I play one of the leads, Juliana and a TV film for Nickelodeon called ‘Nickey Deuce’ directed by Jon Rosenbaum and in which I play the role of Lorraine. I also have two art shows coming up, one in Vancouver in April at the Kurbatoff Gallery and one in Montreal in June at the Gallery203.

As the buzz heightens for every man’s favorite day of the year, plan an evening that will excite you both. Besides the game itself and the commercials of course, Super Bowl snacks are one of the key highlights.

While the boys gather in front of the television for a night of football, beer, and fried chicken, plan a menu that will allow you and the girls to stick to your “get fit” New Year’s resolution.

To help you get inspired, we’ve mustered up some delicious and healthy Super Bowl Sunday alternatives.

Appetizers

Instead of sticking to the typical nachos and dip, replace the nachos with vegetables. Keep the energy alive with nutritious home-made green dips like guacamole, low fat spinach dip, and black bean salsa.

Everyone loves a good saucy, deep fried chicken wing on the big day. Get your wing fix without all the calories by replacing them with bite size pieces of grilled buffalo chicken.

Main dishes

Pizza is always a timeless attendee on the menu. Instead of ordering in, we suggest making Portobello pizzas. Simply, fill a cap of a Portobello mushrooms with light tomato sauce, low-fat mozzarella cheese, and sprinkle some herbs like basil and bake. If your girls are pepperoni lovers, replace the slices with low fat turkey sausage.

Who doesn’t adore a good crunchy side dish of fries? Get your fry fix by cutting yams into long strips. Spray some olive oil with a sprinkle of sea salt and broil until crispy.

Desserts

No evening is complete without a sweet delight. End your Super Bowl affair with scrumptious strawberries covered in dark chocolate. If you’re feeling ambitious, decorate  them as mini footballs.

Here you have it! Super Bowl Sunday made healthy!

Harsh weather changes can surely take a toll on your skin. Luckily, with the right products, you can keep your complexion looking radiant.

The hottest makeup trend seen on designer runways this spring is a soft, natural look. Skin glowed with rosy cheeks, complemented by a subtle or bold pink lip.

To help steal this look, follow these beauty secrets:

Firstly, start with a blank canvas. You need healthy skin for your most radiant look. We suggest revitalizing your complexion with the natural ingredients of Michael Todd True Organics skincare. These cleansers, toners, and revitalizing treatments are essential in creating the foundation you need for your makeup to shine.

Now the fun begins! At BTR we’re obsessed with premium Nars makeup. No one likes a “cakey” face, so we suggest creating an even skin tone with Sheer Glow foundation. From there, get an adorable rosy cheek with either a pink or red blush. Highlight your cheekbones with a light shimmer in order to get a more defined look.

We love The Multiple – François Nars’ iconic innovation. This original multi-purpose stick for eyes, cheeks, lips and body provides sheer color that blends effortlessly to create shimmering accents, contours and dynamic highlights. Brush on some mascara and add a bold pink lip, et voila! You’ve just created a charming, everyday look.

Shop the NARS and Michael Todd events for your most flawless skin this spring.
