The Covet List: Luxe Bikini and Tunic

Noria Morales — Fri, 06 May 2011 03:15:06 PDT

The Pieces: Matthew Williamson Bikini and Melissa Odabash Tunic

The Investment: $295 and $180

Why We Covet: A few Summers ago I traveled to St. Tropez for my friend's wedding, and there was no weekend more casually glamorous or beautiful than that weekend in August on the French Riviera. All the women seemed to have the perfect suit and the beachiest tunic. It made me realize the value of one incredibly sexy, perfectly cut, high-quality, gorgeously-printed bikini. Because if you have that, you'll be forced to spend all your time on some beautiful beach to make the most of it. And you'll never fret over what to wear to a beach barbecue because you'll have this bikini and this gorgeous tunic to throw over it.

eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 05:11:11 PDT

Blake Lively and I already showed you how to cover up in style, but I can't help but bring you one more unique way to get dressed for the swim scene. You're looking at a Vintage High Waisted Romper, size small/medium, that would go perfectly over your sizzling bikini. The cutout is fun and the red polka dot print gives it a splash of youth. Just don't wear it over your fabulous one-piece as that would defeat the purpose of the cutout!

The current bidding price is at $15.50 and the auction ends on Wednesday, July 9. Good luck and happy bidding!

FabSugar — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:00:22 PDT

No matter how hard your abs are or how toned your bum is, you have to cover up a bit before you hit the waves. OK, I suppose you don't have to, but with all the exotic coverups out there, why not have an outfit change? Blake Lively even covered up with a Tory Burch tunic on the set of Gossip Girl. Coverups are not limited to tunics though. You can wear a romper, sarong, sundress, or tank top. Choose the one that suits your style and give your audience something - your hot bikini bod! - to look forward to.

Rihanna Covers Up a Bright Bikini During Her Hawaiian Getaway

Katie Henry — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:19:42 PST

Rihanna continued her Hawaiian vacation yesterday with a solo beach stroll. She left her hotel and set out on foot for the beach. Rihanna's bikini body was covered up, but her two-piece was still noticeable under a pink cutout dress. She's on her latest vacation following the November release of her new album, Talk That Talk. The first single off the record, "We Found Love," is sitting at the top of the charts, giving Rihanna her 11th number one hit.

Rihanna's return to Hawaii comes more than a year after she filmed Battleship with Alexander Skarsgard, Brooklyn Decker, and Taylor Kitsch there. Their action adventure, based on the board game, hits theaters this Summer - check out Rihanna's cameo in the first Battleship trailer.

Jessica Alba Has a Day at the Beach With Honor and Haven

Lindsay Miller — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 10:15:15 PST

Jessica Alba had her daughters, Haven Warren and Honor Warren, with her as she strolled in Cabo yesterday. The mother of two enjoyed some girl time, taking a break in the shade with her infant while Honor played in the sand. Today, Jessica wore a casual coverup and a hat for her walk along the shore. Earlier this week, however, Jessica sported a bikini and showed off her postbaby figure as she took a dip in the pool with Cash Warren and their kids.

The Alba-Warren family was clearly in the holiday spirit this year. Jessica was spotted at Toys R Us last week buying Honor a bright pink, electric Barbie car and also took her oldest for a visit to Santa. Just after Christmas weekend the foursome headed South to enjoy the warm weather. Their arrival in Mexico didn't go unnoticed by Jessica's fans, and shortly after they arrived, she happily obliged to pose for some pictures.

Keep Your Post-Gym Trek Sweat-Free

Leta Shy — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 02:21:24 PST

There's nothing worse than heating up at the gym only to be met by frosty cold temps outside when you're done. If you're not making a pit stop in the locker room to get street-ready, you're met with a problem: you're too hot and sweaty to brave the cold outdoor air without feeling uncomfortable. If you're skipping the shower at the gym, here are two simple reminders to make sure your next trek outdoors post-workout isn't uncomfortable and cold.

Wait it out: Don't just hop off the treadmill and grab your stuff. When you're exercising regularly, it can take several minutes for your heart rate to go back down from peak to resting rate (the normal heart rate recovery rate is a decrease of 15-20 beats per minute) so if you go outside too soon, you'll still be pumped up from your workout. Use the time to cool down properly with post-workout stretches and foam rolling instead.

Always choose moisture-wicking: I've worked out in any old T-shirt and I've worked out in gear designed for working out, and there's definitely a difference. To keep yourself from being uncomfortably soggy under those Winter clothes, use performance wear designed to wick away sweat and keep you dry. And always bring a similarly sweat-wicking cover-up to layer under your coat before you head outside for even more protection. Here are some lightweight cover-ups that would work well under your puffy outerwear.

How do you brave Winter weather after sweating it out at the gym?
