New York designer Betsey Johnson makes sure your feet will be pretty in pink this season with her Kalista peep toe pump. And we all know how Ms. Johnson plays by her own set of rules. This pink shoe has diamond woven detail that screams out-of-the-box, with its contrasting white detail and gold accents. Each shoe is trimmed in matching leather piping, and topped with a pretty pink leather bow. Each bow holds a gold Betsey Johnson signature accent. Can anyone say vamp?! There is no denying that this year’s collection is a throwback to the pinup era of sex goddess herself, Bettie Page. I can just visualize Page strutting around in a leopard print bikini with the black version of these puppies on.
Find your own inner pin-up when you match these peep toe pumps with a black pencil skirt or a suit jacket, and it’s suddenly sex kitten meets corporate ball buster. Pink might be for girls, but the woman who wears these shoes is just as good at swinging a briefcase as she is at swinging a whip and handcuffs. The slim pink 3.25-inch heel is just high enough to elongate your legs. Wear them with a pair of fishnet stockings come evening, and try to beat the suitors off with a stick—just try! And Johnson, always a stickler for sexy feminine accents, covers the sole of her Kalista pump with fragile rose embellishments and a signature Betsey Johnson gold heart. If you’re dying to get your feet pretty in these Kalista pumps, they’re just $200 at Zappos.com.
