Most of the country is suffering through a record-breaking, bloody-cold winter. Even those of us lucky enough to live in a more amenable climate like Los Angeles have found ourselves shivering from time to time this year. But, this being tinsel town, we won’t abandon fashion for warmth. Luckily, I have discovered the perfect way to both stay warm and dazzle the masses. This Pleasure Find is for the ladies, wherever they may be, and the gents who love them…
Bebaroque stockings, tights, and leggings are designed and crafted by two fabulously hip Scottish women.
Anyone who has been to Edinburgh in January can attest to the fact that Scottish women know cold weather, and how to slog through it stylishly, so you are in good hands with Mhairi McNicol and Chloe Patience. Besides, they won the Scottish Accessory Designer of the Year award and that’s no mean feat.
Hand embroidery, beading, Swarovski crystals, and original print designs embellish these little gems. Whether you want to simply flash a well-shaped calf or go for a fully tattooed gam, bebaroque legwear styles add a dash of sensuous, playful pleasure to the mix.
Just a wee warning as you fall in love with these creations: they are not like your mama’s 4-dollar Leggs, but more like those pre-war silk stockings women used to covet more than chocolate. That is to say, they are a luxury item. But you can’t put a price on fashion, right?

/ January 30, 2009Those are fantastic. I don’t even like wearing stockings, and I think I might just wear those…if I could afford to spend that much on them.
But nice find!

Sasymama: With these stockings, there’s no way you could feel anything less than sexy, ever. Welcome to Pleasure Notes!
Liebchen: Yep, I feel your pocket pain, but that’s what piggy banks are for! Glad you liked the find.
