Alexis's New Red Hue and More: What Had You Talking This Week

It's the weekend, and you know what that means.

by POPSUGAR Beauty

It's the weekend, and you know what that means. It's time to recap our favorite comments of the week. As usual, you had lots of great things to say, from the truly perceptive opinions to the ones that gave us all a good laugh. Check them out below:

Your thoughts on Alexis Bledel's new red hair:

"Love it! She has such beautiful eyes and flawless skin. That's my dream hair color." — catita85

"I do not 'dislike' the color, however I am not in love with it. IMO, a multidimensional brunette shade was a better (and gorgeous) choice on Bledel. Though her eyes look gorgeous 24/7." — leeluvfashion

To see the rest of the best, just keep reading.

Mixed feelings on whether or not Rachel Comey's eyeliner looks actually wearable:

"While it looks a lot better on Bella than on the runway, I'd still say it's unwearable for the every day girl. [It's] neat to look at on models, but best left on the runway this season." — Miss Bree
"From a distance, it could look like one has super-defined double eyelids and a nice brow bone (like it looks in the pic on top right). But on me — I'd like my eyeshadow, please." — cocomotion
"I did the look last night using a cream liner, and a MAC 209 bru

The Rachel Comey "Blank" Smoky Eye: Wearable or Not?

As Fashion Week comes to a close, one of the most talked-about looks — and one that Team Bella can't stop thinking about — has been the eye makeup at Rachel Comey's show.

by POPSUGAR Beauty

As Fashion Week comes to a close, one of the most talked-about looks — and one that Team Bella can't stop thinking about — has been the eye makeup at Rachel Comey's show. Her models walked the runway wearing eyeliner traced out into the shape of a big smoky eye, but with none of the actual shadow filled in underneath. But how will the look translate to the real world, and is it the sort of thing you can wear on the street? I re-created the look at Sugar HQ, and reactions were mixed. What do you think? Does this graphic liner style work on a real girl, or should it be left on the catwalk?

Pregnant Rachel Comey Kicks Off The Season of the White Dress with Her Spring 2011 Collection

>> Spring 2011 may be the Spring of the white dress, judging by the shows so far.

>> Spring 2011 may be the Spring of the white dress, judging by the shows so far. Within the first six looks at Rachel Comey, two airy white numbers — one with a built-in vest, the other a bustier and a handkerchief hem — kicked the trend off right.

Comey, who's expecting her first child in January, treated her audience — which included Steven Alan and Cathy Horyn — to a little Eastern-inspired live music (via an electric violin) and a parade of square-heeled shoes that are sure to abet the cult following that Comey's heels have already garnered. Comey's stylist Avena Gallagher explained of the Spring 2011 collection: "She's done the quirky girl thing, but this season's a bit more grown up." The look was Horyn-approved — after the show, she Tweeted: "Loved Rachel Comey's layered, pared down sundresses in prints that seemed to mix Americana and Chinese. Also the hankie hems, crisp whites."

Spring 2011 New York Fashion Week: Rachel Comey

The mood at Rachel Comey this season was peaceful and serene — only further enhanced by the wafting sounds of St. Vincent’s violin and Pier 59 Studios' low lighting and bare walls.

by POPSUGAR Fashion

The mood at Rachel Comey this season was peaceful and serene — only further enhanced by the wafting sounds of St. Vincent’s violin and Pier 59 Studios' low lighting and bare walls. The clothing, on the other hand, was more along the lines of awe-inspiring. Comey combined elements of Americana with a dash of Asian influence; all at once, you feel ready to run across the open prairie or the lush rice fields.

As a self-professed shoe loyalist, I should warn you that you will want to get your hands (and feet) on a pair of the color-blocked square heels. You can wear them comfortably as a refined day look or wear them at night for a subtle hint of sexiness. Let’s call it "geometric perfection." Now, the pieces positively exuded her recognizable charm and quirk. Models were adorned in flirty chiffon dresses with side slits, crisp white poplin cropped tops, romantic nude A-line frocks with her signature button-down detailing, mix-and-match prints in warm pinks and blues, and high-waisted, loose-fitting camel trousers. Add in a sprinkling of gingham, eyelet separates, and unexpected silhouette cut-outs, and you have yourself Spring romance in bloom!

Back to Cool: Dirty Dancing

If you're feeling back to cool, then I've got another dose of inspired ensembles.

by dannysf

If you're feeling back to cool, then I've got another dose of inspired ensembles. This time, I'm channeling the nostalgia of one of my favorite film classics, Dirty Dancing. Oh, who could forget Baby and her coming-of-age quest in the Summer of '63? Once she meets Johnny it's buh-bye family fun, hello sexy dance parties. But aside from sultry Summer love, it's also a study in easy, retro-fied chic. Steal Baby's signature style with this Seven For All Mankind Oversize Shirt ($155), or do like Baby's big sis, Lisa, and try preppy pearls and a pretty party dress like this ModCloth Periwinkle Prance Dress ($99). Just remember — "nobody puts Baby in a corner!" Shop the style by clicking on the items.

Rachel Comey's Fall 2010 Collection Makes Room for Autumn Sheer and Flowers

The crowd at Thursday's Rachel Comey presentation has been commented upon nearly as much as the show itself — with the Cobrasnake and Julia Frakes installed in the front row, you get the idea.

by POPSUGAR Celebrity

The crowd at Thursday's Rachel Comey presentation has been commented upon nearly as much as the show itself — with the Cobrasnake and Julia Frakes installed in the front row, you get the idea. The NY band Hex Message provided music for the models' procession, continuing the season's live performance trend.

The collection was Fall, but you'd be forgiven for mistaking a few of her pieces for Spring wear. Comey told Style.com she wanted a lighter feel, and she certainly succeeded at that. She brought out sleeveless dresses, some with sheer leggings underneath, as well as flowers galore on pants, shirts, and skirts. And just when we thought fringe might be on the way out, it popped up multiple times in some of Comey's strongest looks, as did the random tuft of fur.

It woudln't be a Comey show without some focus on the shoes — she sent her own version of the clog out, as well as high-heeled oxfords and other styles suited for Rachel's practical but style conscious girl.
