Blake Lively and Serena van der Woodsen would so very much NOT approve of these particular boots that convey Gossip Girl style for less. As you may already know, Serena van der Woodsen wore the Chinese Laundry ‘Strate’ boot, and a phenomenon was born (like ‘pooft!). Not just for the career of actress Blake Lively (Gossip Girl), but for the Strate boot.

The boot is suede, and in Lucky Magazine Lively said she loved it so much she bought a pair in every color. This cued just about everyone (yes, everyone) to go and get the pair or find a likeness from another designer. The Strate boot is now woefully out of woefully on the Chinese Laundry website but they still offer the sister Top boot which I’ve included in the collage in the upper right area. The price is just shy of $100.00.

When I saw that Victorias Secret was featuring a pair of boots very similar to the Strate boot (by Steve Madden) I thought they must be cheaper and I would let you guys know about them so you could copy the look for less. However, not only are they not cheaper, when I viewed them online ‘on the model’ they look oddly lumpy and unflattering.

So uh, unless you want to pay more to look worse…I say a big NO to these. But if you must look here, you go. If you’ve discovered a knock-off or similar type of boot to the ones that Serena wore on Gossip Girl for a little GG style (’cause they DO look comfy), let us know here! Even though she wore them last year, the trend continues on (and on, and on).
