FOF Hallie Peterson of Leg Luxury is giving away two pairs of her one-of-a-kind tights. Enter to win by answering in the comments below: Do you always wear nude stockings with skirts--even in the summer?
Most mornings, FOF Hallie Peterson partakes in a ritual she calls "dressing from the bottom up."
"When I get dressed, I start with my tights. I decide which ones to wear [based on] my attitude," says Hallie. "If I'm feeling sassy, for instance, then I put on something like my 'Wild and Fun' tights or my 'Feathery Lace' ones." If she's feeling more conservative, Hallie opts for her 'Little Dots' or 'Elegant Scrolls.'
Hallie has the luxury of choosing from dozens of styles, because as owner of Leg Luxury, Hallie takes multiple trips to Asia each year to find the most unique tights."I've had women literally chase me across parking lots to ask me where I got my tights." She doesn't sell basics opaques or sheers because, well... "you can get those in Target," says Hallie. On her buying trips, if she doesn't see quite what she's looking for, she works with her manufacturers to come up with something truly one-of-a kind.
"A client came to me and said 'look, I'm 42 years old, I hate panty lines, I'm single and I take my clothes off in front of men.' So I worked with my vendors and we created tights with these lacy French cut panties sewed in," says Hallie. "It gives a sexy, elegant feel and it removes the question of whether to wear panties or not."
Prior to launching her tights business, Hallie, a San Diego-based FOF, worked in marketing for Radisson Hotels and Northwest airlines while launching multiple side endeavors, including selling popcorn in Russia. "When I write my biography, it's going to be called 'From Popcorn to Pantyhouse--Living the Frivolous Life,' she jokes. But, all jokes aside, Hallie describes herself as an "entrepreneur with great purpose, background and foundation." "I've reinvented myself a number of times but I think I've found what I'm sticking with," says Hallie.
Hallie sells her tights online and to boutiques across the United States and Canada. They range in price from $20-$26.
"We don't have the legs we had when we were 20," says Hallie. "We may have vericose veins, sun spots or cellulite, and when you cover your legs it looks a lot better than leave them bare."

In 1997, FOF Nancy Morgan and her husband, Larry, were teaching English and traveling in Asia, all while raising their six-year-old daughter Chelsea. The trio would sleep on beds without sheets or even the ground as they trekked. One night, they thought to stitch together two sheets, creating a sort of sack to sleep in. Their first product, the “Dreamsack” was born. They built an entire brand around the beloved “Dreamsack” and over the years have expanded to sheets, pajamas, wraps and more. Here, we chat with Nancy about her line of super-soft, easy-wearing, clothing and linens.
Bonnie Glogover thought up these clever tights while getting a pedicure. Watching women at the nail salon cut their hose in order to expose their toes, she thought “there must be a better way.” Bonnie and her dad, Stanley Glogover, inventor of nursing and maternity bras, whipped up a prototype for tights with a convertible toe flap. Two years later the product was granted a patent. Investing $100,000 of her own money in the idea, Bonnie took her first batch of manufactured tights to bank cafeterias in New York City, Connecticut and New Jersey to see if they would sell. When she sold out of all 30,000 pairs, she knew she had a winning product on her hands...and feet!
In 1987, when FOF Lisa Devereaux was a young commercial production assistant, she came across an idea that stuck with her. "A company had produced a square scarf with a slit on the end of it, so you could pull it through and not have to fuss with tying it," said Lisa.
In 2001, fashion buyer Betty Audish's mother passed away. The event made Betty realize just how precious life is, and she decided she couldn't waste any more time before tackling her lifelong dream--designing her own handbag line. That year, Betty Audish handbags was born.
