Tsubo Fall Line Roundup and Giveaway!

Now you all know I adore Tsubos. Anyone who's been reading the blog for more than ten seconds knows THAT. But when I got my hot little hands on a copy of their fall lookbook, I'm telling you, friends, I nearly expired from shoe-lust. The company has really stepped up their game for this collection, and I was extremely lucky to receive several pairs to review.*

These spectacular boots are the Hepats, far and away the most daring style Tsubo has ever created. They are supple, soft, over-the-knee boots with extensive lacing and they are beyond badass. Obviously.

They're also, as you might expect, ridiculously comfortable. They've got a slight wedge heel, but have the loveliest sculpted footbed that feels like a delightful little pillow for your arch. As funky and daring as these boots look, they FEEL like the footwear equivalent of pajamas. I kid you not.

These fine fellows are the Olapa boots. The gray areas are leather, and the blue is a stretchy textile of some sort. Although getting them on is no mean feat, and although they're quite fitted through the calf, these spaceman-esque boots are just as dreamy to wear as their Hepat bretheren.

The Olapa has the exact same wedge and footbed design as the Hepat - and, incidentally, as the darling Mary Jane-style Asmik - and the combination of impeccably designed lower and stretchy, forgiving upper makes this another winner of a style.

And even if both pairs of boots are a little out-there for your taste, I'm betting these Dufay pumps will send ya. I will remain forever faithful to my Acreas, but these Dufays are now running a close second.

Last year, Tsubo came out with a similarly styled pump - the lovely Amset - which I have in red suede and simply adore. But suede can be tricky, and these Dufays have very similar styling, a slightly lower heel, a blunter toe, and are available in this gorgeous cognac and a rich red leather. Win, win, win.

A couple of other things about the fall offerings that are making me giddy with glee:

• The Baco boot, which has the same textile as those Olapas ... but with comfy, flat styling.
• The Asmik Mary Jane, available last year in suede only, is now for sale in smooth red and black leather. Woot!
• And oh my, my, my signature Acrea in this stunning, spotty, textural red leather. SWOON.

But enough of the reviewing. Let's talk giveaway, shall we? Tsubo is letting me hand out not one, but TWO pairs of those truly terrific Dufay pumps to two lucky Already Pretty readers! Here's how you enter to win:
