Q&A: Leighton Meester’s Shoes

Posted by kim on August 26, 2009

Melanie has been trying to months to find the cute mary-janes that Leighton Meester as Blair wore in the Gossip Girl “The Ex Files” (Season 2, Episode 4) and has asked for her fellow shoeaholics help on identifying them!  Check out Melanie’s Best Face Forward blog for more pictures that can be enlarged for more detail.

If you can recognize the label, please comment on this blog post – Melanie will be most appreciative!

I haven’t been able to pinpoint the exact designer brand myself, but I found a couple of knockoff alternatives…

Madden Girl Doreenn, $49.90 from Zappos.com

RSVP Shelby (shown right), $32.89 from 6pm.com

Mad for Menswear at Gap

Mad for Menswear at Gap

“My shoe addiction has caused me to become obsessed with these boots i saw in a gap spread but aren’t listed for sale on their site (or piperlime.com). They are grey leather boots found on the model wearing the plaid scarf in the “boyfriend collection” part of Gap.com. Can your readers help me find them?” ~ Sarah

The heel of that platform boot looks a lot like Dollhouse’s Viareggio Knee-High Boots, on sale for $79.99 from Dollhouse.com (regularly $179).  Can anyone else help Sarah find the exact boot or a similar alternative?
