Gisele Heads Into Town in String Bikini With Tom in Slippers

Molly — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 07:52:34 -0700

A bikini-clad Gisele and casual Tom Brady stepped into town in Costa Rica yesterday to pick up some things from the local pharmacy. The newlyweds seemed causal and not too worried about being spotted despite the dramatic shooting at their weekend wedding - which is currently under investigation. Gisele traded her one-of-a-kind Galliano gown to show off her hot body and keep her doggie close. Meanwhile Tom kept it extra casual in slippers, which is way better than last week's Crocs. Unless there is some sort of medical reason, Tom needs to lose the Crocs stat, though they're still incredibly hot no matter what he has on his feet.

Molly — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 05:00:00 -0700

Camila Alves slipped into a sundress to go shopping in Malibu on Wednesday while her little guy Levi played around outside with the nanny. The whole family including Matthew's parents were all over the beach this week where Camila bared her baby bump in a teeny string bikini. Not only does Levi already have beach bum tendencies just like his Daddy, but he's dressing like a mini hippie already - all he needs is MM's famous bongos to complete the picture.

Camila's Baby Bump Beach Bikini Day With Matthew and Levi

Molly — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 07:00:35 -0700

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves spent their weekend on the beach in Malibu with their family. Camila showed off her baby bump number two in a string bikini and wrap skirt, cozied up by Matthew's side. MM hit the waves a bit while Levi explored and played with his grandparents, Kay and James McConaughey, as well as their doggies. It was hard to imagine that Matthew would be able to find a partner that loves the beach as much as he does, but it seems like he has that in beautiful Camila and the two have passed on their passion to water baby Levi and soon to their newest addition.

Quiksilver's Quick Fix

FabSugar — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Always at the forefront of all things fresh, Quiksilver has teamed up with The Standard hotels to make co-branded men’s and women’s swimsuits to be distributed via vending machines poolside at the hotel's four properties and online at ShoptheStandard.com.

Joshua Katz, director of marketing and communications at Quiksilver Inc., explains, “This is a 24-hour customer, and a lot of times they might not have a swimsuit but want to take a late-night swim, after the hotel’s boutique is closed.”

For added flavor, each design has a "Quik City Guide" on the inside waistband, with addresses of local places of interest. The vending machines will also dispense zines and $10 works of art from local artists. Four men's retro-inspired men's styles will be available as well as a classic black string bikini for the ladies. Step right up.

Swimming With Shoshanna

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Um, isn't Shoshanna hot? And buff? Just had to point that out before we continue swimming with Shoshanna. I don't know about you, but I'll take swimwear advice from a successful designer, mom, and hottie. Here, Shoshanna answers our questions about how revealing a swimsuit should be, what it was like collaborating with Charlotte Ronson on their swim collection, and the best beach coverups.

How revealing should a swimsuit actually be?

Bust coverage test: Three-fourths of the bust should be covered, leaving only a swath of cleavage. The thicker the strap that attaches the bust to the rest of the suit, the more likely it'll stay in place as the day goes on. If you opt for a bandeau top, which is often strapless, nothing should be squeezing out the top or the bottom. Boy shorts offer great coverage on the bottom if you're active, but they're far from being a universally flattering style.

What was your favorite part of collaborating with Charlotte Ronson on Made With Love?

Getting to spend some time together was the best part. We have always played nicely together and get along great. It was very satisfying for both of us to see everything come together and to love everything!

What was the biggest challenge?

Finding time - we are both so busy!

Will this be an ongoing collection?

I know it will be, we have already finished the second collection.

To keep swimming and to see some of my favorite Shoshanna items, read more.

What’s your favorite swimsuit cut?

I love our string bikini!

Are you a prints or solids girl?

I'm a print girl. I love all our prints! Once in a while I'll throw on a black bikini, nothing sexier!

How do you cover up on the beach or at the pool?

I'll usually wear a Mexican embroidered tunic, with a cute pair of Anlo denim cutoffs.

And which is preferred - beach or pool?

I'm totally a beach girl! I love the ocean, and beach combing, and of course making sandcastles with my little girl.

What are the best colors for every skin tone?

Navy and black are universally good for every skin tone. Both colors are flattering and look good against the lightest skin tones and the darkest.

How do you take your beach look from day to night?

Find a versatile cover-up that can take your bikini beach look to a casual dinner. A crochet cover with three-quarter sleeves is great because you can throw it over a bikini with cute shorts or jeans and be ready for a night out.

What is the best way to care for swimwear?

Don't put bathing suits in the washing machine, this will weaken the elastic. Instead, wash in cold water with a delicate cleanser such as Woolite.

Penelope and Javier Invite Woody on Their French Vacation

PopSugar — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 08:30:00 -0700

Penelope Cruz wore some very loose-fitting clothes while lounging around the French Riviera with Javier Bardem earlier today. We wouldn't expect the private couple to ever address the rumors that Penelope is pregnant, but the recent string of flowy shirts and extra affection doesn't quiet them either. She and Javier welcomed Woody Harrelson and other guests who headed out together on a boat this morning. There's something about the South of France that gets Penelope and Javier to cozy up together though we'll see if she takes after her lookalike sister who stripped down to her bikini while on vacation over the weekend.

Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez spent the weekend together in Newport Beach, CA, after they were spotted cozying up in NYC. The Yankees lost all three games against the Angels but A-Rod didn't look too upset while out to dinner with Kate. During the day the actress played with Ryder and lounged by the pool in her string bikini. Kate was knocked out of the competition for the hottest body of 2009, but there are still lots of ladies left so be sure to fill out your bracket as round two kicks off!

Swimming With Shoshanna

FabSugar — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:00:22 -0700

It's bikini season and you know what that means . . . it's time to decide on your Summer '09 swimwear look. I've been really into prints lately - loud, bright, saucy prints. What's your style du jour? If you need any enlightening or encouraging, we've got swim pro designer Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss to deliver some Fab swimsuit tips. Also, if you're in NYC, head over to 231 W. 39th Street, Suite 422, to find 75 percent off Shoshanna Collection and Swimwear. Sale ends Thursday at 5:30 p.m. Now, let's dive into Shoshanna's swim tips!

How many swimsuits do you own?

I own way too many swimsuits to count!!! All Shoshanna, of course!!!

What are the key swim trends to look for this Summer?

Look for bright pop colors like neon pink, orange, and green. Tribal prints are popular as well as ditsy floral prints, big bohemian florals, and graphic black and white.

How do you prevent swimsuit wedgies?

Prevent wedgies by wearing the right size. Not too big and not too small. Should be snug, but not tight.

What advice do you have for a girl who isn’t comfortable with her beach body?

A bathing suit is a bathing suit, it’s never going to cover that much! You can do lots of things to cover up area’s you are insecure about. Throw on an Elizabeth and James button down, Anlo jean shorts, or a Mexican embroidered dress. If you are insecure about your bottom, thrown on a cute skirt. If you want to cover up your arms, a 3/4 sleeve tunic will do just the trick. Also, accessorize your outfit with some beachy jewelry, like gold necklaces or bangles to look super chic.

How do you find a swimsuit that flatters your shape?

Big Busted: Look for halters which offer the most support. Also look for boning and underwire which will act like a bra and securely hold you in place. Curvy: Look for one pieces with ruching to slim your middle. When shopping for bikini's stick to bottoms with tie strings so they are easily adjustable. Flat Chested: Strings are most flattering. If you want to enhance your chest, look for ruffles or ruching which will create the illusion of a bigger chest.

Do you think it’s worth buying an expensive bathing suit (yours) versus a cheap one (H&M)? Does it make a difference?

There are two factors to think about: quality and fit/sizing issues. H&M is very generic and sold as sets. Our collection offers 13 different sizes and are sold as separates so we give customers more options. Shoshanna bathing suits are also constructed with the highest quality materials. We use a special boning and underwire that provides amazing support.

What are some general tips for purchasing swimwear?

Cotton bathing suits are more for show. They will take a long time to dry compared to a polyester/Spandex blend. Accept that sizes will vary, even from the same label.

Viva Bar!

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Can, not, resist. It's official: Bar must only live in bikinis. I mean, when it's this good, nothing else matters. And the Hurley ambassador practically does. Here's some more bikini-clad eye-candy of the swim kitten for anyone needing a Summer bod boost. Bar always does the trick for me. When she's not in her LBB, she's in striped strings, sporty briefs, beaded skimpys, and cozy cover-ups. Viva Summer, viva Bar!
