Brian Atwood and Gossip Girl rekindled our love for the ubiquitous and overused embellishment when I thought we were over studs on shoes.
Blake Lively as Serena van der Woodsen was seen sporting the studded shoe trend re-starter while filming scenes for ‘Gossip Girl’ last Thursday.

Blake Lively wore this outfit with flip-flops while off-cam, but she changed into a pair of purple suede pumps to film the scene.
Blake Lively was seen on the set of Gossip Girl in NYC on September 1, 2011, wearing a chic ensemble that included a Haute Hippie feather sequin vest, a Rodarte for Opening Ceremony reverse pleated skirt, accessorized with a Mulberry Resort 2012 Harriet ostrich tote, and a Siman Tu veined white turquoise necklace (Credit: A.

Even from afar, you can already tell that these shoes will be STUNNING. Hold on to your seats, everyone, and get ready to be blown away by these beguiling burgundy beauties:

Websites dedicated to Gossip Girl fashion quickly identified Blake Lively’s shoes as these aptly named ‘Power Studs’ suede platform pumps from Brian Atwood.

That studding detail is something else. I daresay it makes that thick 5 1/2″ heel look as sexy and attractive as a pin-thin stiletto. Of course, that’s without the pin-thinness and ankle-breaking unbalanced feeling.
Blake Lively’s pretty feathery vest is the following piece from Haute Hippie. I love how this vest makes you look like you’re wearing a feather boa from the front. While a feather boa might not be practical for everyday wear, incorporating it as trim on a vest? That’s something you can get away with.
