Even if you aren’t in the midst of planning a wedding, we know that you have thought about yours, from your dress to the lucky suitor who you will be honeymooning with. If you live in LA (and if you don’t, you might consider making the trip), on March 28th, the famed Melrose Place will be transformed into a bridal paradise with “Unveiled: Bridal Style Revealed.” From 11AM to 4PM, the tree lined street will turn into a mecca for all of a bride’s needs, from the dress and makeup to the linens, invitations and catering. This is the one-stop-shop for your dream wedding.

The event will feature designs from Monique Lhullier, Carolina Herrera and Temperley London, who will graciously open their stores with models showcasing their latest bridal designs. Ports 1961 and Vince will be open for shoppers to buy their perfect wedding guest outfit, or jut a great ensemble for a night out. Kate Somerville’s team will be on hand to discuss beauty treatments and luxury mobile beauty service Fiore Beauty will have a Lash Bar and will also be offering hair styling tips, massages and more. Bacara Resort & Spa, Williams-Sonoma, the London West Hollywood, Bella Bridesmaid, Patina Wedding and TravelStore Platinum will line the street to showcase their luxury wedding day goodies while you indulge on cake tastings. There will also be an expert panel to include celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss and owner of Creative Intelligence, Marc Friedland. They will be on hand to discuss wedding trends and event planning with tips and tricks to make your day even more special, like how to align with a philanthropy to help others on the happiest day of your life.

Edgar Zamora of Revelry Event Design will be the creative force behind “Unveiled,” transforming the street into a sophisticated, wedding day wonderland meant to inspire brides to be, families of brides to be and wedding planners alike. It is meant to be a fun, care-free afternoon where ladies (and some men, too) can peruse the street to put together their upcoming vows and celebration. And if you aren’t planning, you can still come, try some cake, and plan your perfect wedding for when Mr. Right does come along to whisk you off of your feet. Or come with your girlfriends to play dress up and learn a thing or two, because we are sure if you haven’t been a bridesmaid yet, your clock is ticking.

Tickets are available at Unveiled, where your Bridal Passport is $30 in advance and $40 on-site. Check-in is at 650 North La Cienega Blvd. in West Hollywood, right at Melrose Place.

I love traveling almost as much as I love shopping. Tibi rolls my favorite pastimes into one with bold prints and feminine silhouettes perfect for a trip to St. Tropez or Ibiza.

Today, Tibi and Bloomingdale’s are teaming up and giving the NYC set the perfect chance to start on Spring shopping. A fabulous gift comes with every purchase (don’t worry I won’t spoil the fun) and a beautiful runway piece will be given away to one lucky winner (the piece featured to the right).

I caught up with Tibi’s fashion experts ahead of time to get some spring/summer wardrobe ideas and to talk about some key pieces in the Spring 2010 collection.

What are some key pieces from Tibi’s Spring 2010 Collection?

The Cala Lilly Cap sleeve dress has been selling out like crazy! For a more glam casual look, we have a couple draped blazers in the collection that look amazing paired with our pastel colored ruffle shorts.

Cropped jackets in fun textures – Tibi has an amazing suede blazer for spring that completely complements a flowy dress, and having something to slip over a dress or tank when it cools off at night is a travel savior.

Day Dress – We have a few jersey pieces in the Spring collection that you can completely ball up and won’t wrinkle, so amazing for living out of a suitcase.  Personal favorite is the Bouvier Jersey One Shoulder Printed Dress: it’s a perfect mix of downtown style and travel sensibility.

LBD – You always need to have a dress for a glitzy night out to make you feel like a rock star. Our Oleander Beading Slip Dress has a vintage silhouette with allover beading for a fun update.

Go short and show off your legs. Also sheer tops with embroidery or crochet detail in more conservative cuts perfectly mix coy and casual.  Until the weather warms up, throw a trench over everything and you’re guaranteed to look chic.

Always wear sunscreen and never miss a chance to wear color. The Tibi line includes so many fun prints and saturated hues, and summer is the perfect excuse to brighten up your wardrobe.

Victoria’s Secret PINK is the go-to brand for all things comfortable, sexy, and fun. The brand is taking fun to the next level with the Grand Opening of its first standalone store, and what location is more appropriate than New York City?

The Grand Opening is a reason to get up on Saturday morning: VS Angels Chanel Iman and Behati Prinsloo are both hosting, there will be a cupcake truck, and Christopher Smith will be DJing.

To celebrate the launch, VS PINK has created limited edition NYC clothing (like the great pieces seen to the left) featuring tees, underwear, and so much more. Perfect for those casual weekend days or fun times spent at home.

VS PINK is giving POSHGLAM readers the chance to win a limited-edition NYC tee shirt and sexy pair of bikini briefs. Enter our raffle* by tweeting the giveaway @POSHGLAM and emailing Faith@POSHGLAM.com, subject “VS Pink NYC Takeover”. The tee shirt retails at $22.50 and the panty at $9.50. Contest ends March 19th 2010 at MIDNIGHT EST.

Don’t forget to stop by Saturday if you are in NYC.

On the famed Robertson Boulevard, Armani Exchange has taken over the former Armani Casa space with a concept store that is sleek, refined and definitely a must on your shopping destination list. The 6,600 square foot retail space is huge, but the displays fill it beautifully, leaving room to browse.

The A|X Armani Exchange store officially opened on March 3rd and contains an edited assortment of the lines collections alongside signature, exclusive pieces to the store, fitting the young Hollywood vibe.

The store is amazingly organized, and I must say, this is the first time A|X Armani Exchange bags and accessories have come to my attention, and they are to die for. From denim and tees to funky nighttime dresses, the store has everything a girl or guy could need to take them through their days in style. Also, to note, there are barely any logos on any of the merchandise, so Armani Exchange has definitely grown up, in a good way, and we are loving it.

The concept store also features an exhibition area which houses pieces of art from emerging designers who have created pieces solely for this store. The installations will change seasonally, so there will also be something new to look out for. This store reflects with the Los Angeles lifestyle: young, cosmopolitan, elegant and casual yet fun. The store is full of reds and blues with a classic Americana look that is transformed for the West Hollywood crowd. Every mannequin is adorned in an outfit that is wearable, chic and classic, and finding the pieces to put the outfit together is so easy, it makes shopping more fun that ever.

One of the signature pieces for the store is fabulously vintage washed khaki and denim pieces. Everything in the store is sophisticated, fashion forward and easy to wear, fitting perfectly with the store which definitely commands attention and looks absolutely stunning in its space on quite a busy Los Angeles corner.

The biggest red carpet celebration has just passed us by, the 82nd Academy Awards. But we wouldn’t let this day full of entertainment icons pass us by without discussing the fabulous fashions worn on the famous red carpet. This year, the Oscars celebration was full of vibrant hues from blues to pinks, with many starlets channeling the statue itself in metallic and nude tones. An evening full of ladies dressed up like real like princesses, these women are true style icons, and this carpet is their catwalk. So now, a rundown of the fashions at the 2010 Academy Awards.

There is no better way to start off than by the winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress, and America’s Sweetheart, Sandra Bullock. The celebrity icon looked statuesque and fit for her statue in a gold Marchesa gown and Jimmy Choo “Quiet” sandals. A true golden goddess, if we don’t say so ourselves.

Now, for the ladies in pink, and there were quite a few of them, in all shades of the feminine, flirty and perfect for spring hue. Anna Kendrick was a pretty pretty princess in her Elie Saab Haute Couture gown and a Judith Leiber clutch. Her co-star Vera Farmiga through hot pink out of the park in her stunning Marchesa number, and she pulled off the ruffles with perfection.

Next up is Demi Moore who was glowing in an Atelier Versace dress, Versace sandals, a Ferragamo Clutch and Van Cleef and Arpels jewels.

Rachel McAdams may have been my personal favorite of the night. Her watercolored Elie Saab Haute Couture gown and Ferragamo clutch were to die for. The dress lit up against the carpet, and the starlet looked like a real fashion icon.

Penelope Cruz, the on-screen siren, definitely looked hot in a Donna Karan Couture dress and Roger Vivier Haute Couture Folies clutch.

Singer, actress and all around amazingness Jennifer Lopez stunned in Giorgio Armani Prive gown and clutch with Cartier jewels and Ferragamo pumps.

Queen Latifah looked truly regal in her fabulous jeweled frock, and the lines of the dress are truly eye-catching.

From pinks to purples, Zoe Saldana’s dress was the talk of the night. With a jeweled top and a ruffled bottom full of color, she looked radiant from head to toe, and those shoes were seriously amazing. The dress was Givenchy, and we hope she gets to keep that stunner.

In line with Zoe Saldana was Charlize Theron who took a fashion risk. Love it or hate it, you decide, we are going with love. It is truly a high fashion couture piece, and if anyone can pull that off, it is Charlize. The dress was Dior Couture, as were the shoes, which she paired with Harry Winston jewels.

Now, the other favorite color of the evening was blue, although none of these ladies looked like they had the blues. From pale to navy and everything in between, navy is a safe color, but many of these ladies went far from playing it safe with their fashion choices.

First up, we have Maggie Gyllenhaal who looked like the belle of the ball in her Dried Van Noten gown, that looked a bit to us like the famous “Starry Night” painting.

Law and Order: SVU is one of my personal favorite shows, and no one truly realizes how stunning Mariska Hargitay is until she pops out on the red carpet. For the Academy Awards, the television star dazzled in navy Vera Wang paired with Fred Leighton jewels.

Mo’Nique went straight for the cobalt blue trend, and looked stunning in a Tadashi Shoji gown, Swarovski “Fan” clutch and Jimmy Choo “Clue” Platform Sandals. Her husband was quite the hot accessory, too.

Mariah Carey looked sexy yet totally refined in her Valentino number, with a stunning side slit, and H. Stern jewels.

Newcomer to the carpet, Gabourey Sidibe, maybe getting a ton of acclaim for her role in Precious, but we must say, she is truly taking some awesome fashion risks along the way. The starlet looked stunning in a gown by Marchesa and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.

Stunner Elizabeth Banks looked positively glowing in her Versace blue-gray gown, with detailing to die for.

Los Angeles fashionista and designer Nicole Richie graced the carpet in a fabulous boho-chic ensemble. The dress was Reem Acra which she paired with a Judith Leiber clutch, Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Bally shoes.

Another popular color on the red carpet was metallics and nude tones, as if the celebrities were trying to re-incarnate the Oscar statue themselves. However, they looked dazzling in nude, which looked fresh and fun on the carpet.

Starlet Amanda Seyfried looked absolutely beautiful in an Armani Prive gown with Swarovski beaded detailing and Brian Atwood “Katie Bis” pumps.

Miley Cyrus looked age appropriate, fun and fashion forward in her Jenny Packham frock.

Cameron Diaz, Hollywood’s “it” girl, graced the red carpet in an Oscar de la Renta Fall 2010 collection dress with Cartier jewels, a Roger Vivier “Sesame” clutch and Brian Atwood gold satin “Wagner” pumps.

Kate Winslet played the part of the sophisticated, chic actress, which was not a stretch at all, in her Yves Saint Laurent dress and Tiffany gems.

Meryl Streep wore a dress by Project Runway alum, Chris March, which she accented with a Swarovski clutch and Jimmy Choo “Zena” sandals. The woman can do no wrong, I swear.

Trend-setting celebutante Diane Kruger failed to disappoint as she looked fabulous in her Chanel dress and Jaeger-Le-Coultre diamond bracelet.

Never is there a red carpet that passes that celebrities do not wear black. However, this year, the black dresses were bold and statement worthy, and nowhere near boring.

To start, we have Carey Mulligan, who looked fierce yet elegant in a Prada dress with “raso doppio tec” material, which she paired perfectly with Prada pleated “Duchesse” heels and a Prada clutch.

Country crooner, and total hottie, Faith Hill spruced up the red carpet in her black gown with black lace detailing. She looked rocker worthy and jaw-dropping.

Comedienne Tina Fey looked beautiful on the red carpet in a Michael Kors one shouldered gown, Jimmy Choo pumps, a Kotur clutch and Stephen Russell jewels.

And last, but certainly not least, is Sarah Jessica Parker. If there is a red carpet that she is on, she will definitely be note-worthy, make a statement and look totally fabulous. Tonight, I’m not sure if she was playing herself or channeling Carrie Bradshaw, but either way, she looked like the sophisticated, savvy New York City girl in Los Angeles. She brought her rays of sunshine with her, and woo’ed the crowd in her Chanel Couture gown and Fred Leighton jewels. The neckline was unlike anything I have ever seen, but the dress complimented with metallic rosettes in the front and back, was innovative, fun and dazzled on the carpet.

Things get pretty heartfelt at Bryant Park for the fashion week as make-up czarina Bobbi Brown teams up with The Heart Truth for the fifth year in a row. Apart from sponsoring the Red Dress Collection 2010 fashion show which is slated for the 11^th of this month, Brown has also created an exclusive limited edition Bronze Shimmer Brick in partnership with the foundation.

The Bronze Shimmer Brick ($40) is the perfect palette for that sought after goddess glow with warm earthy tones and copper hues. It comes with a mini face blender and there are only 500 of these limited-edition beauties available. So hurry up and grab yours while it lasts. And always remember to stick to the tagline and ‘listen to your heart’.

Available online at Bobbi Brown.
