"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Once a week, we ask our editors to share the items they've been loving or lusting after—whether it's a new skincare product we're dying to try or a travel essential we can't live without. Consider "The Weekly Covet" your editor-approved wish list for beauty, travel, fashion, and everything in between.

Gigi V-Neck Dress

"I spend time on Paros in the summer and my ideal day is spent on Santa Maria beach interrupted only by a long meal at Katsounas Taverna. This dress I discovered last year, and bought in just about every color, is light enough to wear over a swimsuit but makes me feel dressed for lunch too. I usually add two rows of Ileana Makri beads before I sit down at the table." —Stellene Volandes, Editor in Chief

Dryp Tease Dry Oil Body Spray

"I love to bring a body oil (specially a spray that goes on dry) with me to the beach to keep skin a bit shiny and super hydrated—in addition to sunscreen of course. And let’s face it: I’m also hoping putting this oil on often enough will miraculously make me look like Lisa Rinna in a bathing suit. I might even dance?" —Stellene Volandes, Editor in Chief

Las Palmas Beach Chair - Beige

"I am always fond of a quiet safari look and why not at the beach."

—Nelida Mortensen, Senior Visual Editor

Beach Defense Spray Sunscreen with Broad Spectrum SPF 70

"I am that person on the beach who is constantly reapplying her sunscreen. Neutrogena has been my staple since childhood, and it's been in my beach bag every summer for a reason!" —Emily Burack, News Writer

Woven Loafer Black / Brown

"Just when I thought I'd seen every possible variation on the penny loafer comes this one from Jamie Haller and L.A.'s Pierce & Ward. I first saw them on Domino's Kate Berry, and I immediately coveted a pair of my own." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

Scalp & Hair Mist Organic Sunscreen SPF 30

"Even the most diligent sunscreen devotee may forget that the hair and scalp need protection, too. This great mist from COOLA makes it easy—and easy to reapply throughout the day, too!" —April Long, Beauty Director

Linen-Cotton Blend Beach Shirt

"Weather at the beach can be unpredictable, a white linen shirt is a must on for a day spent at the beach." —Camryn Harris, Freelance Fashion Assistant

Slim-Fit Jeans

"I pretty much live in white jeans all summer, which is why when Mr Porter's new seasonal capsule collection with Zegna dropped, my eyes zeroed in on this slim-fit pair that, incidentally, would nicely go with a new pair of loafers." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

The Premium Beach Umbrella

"Most beach equipment looks clumsy. This 70s style beach umbrella surely does not." —Isiah Magsino, Style News Editor

Gulpy Water Dispenser for Pet, 20-Ounce

"I might be fine to sweat on the beach all day long, but the best summer days are spent with my dogs—and they need to stay cool. Enter the Gulpy: a water dispenser with a built in bowl that makes keeping the pups hydrated, happy, and ready to chase seagulls without overheating." —Adam Rathe, Deputy Features Director

Paloma Straw Sunhat

"For a day at the beach, I prefer to keep the sun off my face in this Lack of Color hat." —Hannah Morrolf, Fashion Assistant

India Kaftan Peach

"Made by local artisans across India and Italy, this caftan from Muzungu Sisters champions the detailed craftsmanship that is hard to find these days. As a lover of all things handmade, this is perfect for my next trip to the beach. " —Dania Ortiz, Fashion and Accessories Director

Herta Ruched Demi Bikini Top

"A brightly patterned high-waisted bikini is a beach must-have for me. Of course the Brazilians do bikinis best, so I’ll be adding one to my summer wardrobe from Lenny Niemeyer." —MaryKate Boylan, Senior Fashion Editor

Waterproof Floating Pouch (Soap Bubble)

"Who hasn't had the experience of dropping a cellphone in the sand or pool by accident? This phone case protects from water, sunscreen, you name it—and even floats! Plus, it has a strap so I can just wear it on my walks by the ocean." —Karen Lubeck, Associate Research Editor

Shaw Slide

"I am quite hard on my sandals, so I like to get a new pair every summer. And my latest—the Message Shaw Slide—well it's safe to say I am obsessed and will be wearing them everywhere, especially the beach. Supportive and secure, the are sinfully comfortable. I love them and have scarcely taken them off since I received them." —Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director

La Vie En Rose Fine Balconette

"I may not be heading to the Cote d'Azure this summer, but that doesn't mean I can't look the part. This dainty lemon print balconette bikini and matching classic bottoms will surely help me do so. Like I've said many times before, a white bathing suit is the best way to show off your tan—while wearing SPF 60 and above. The best part? I know I will be wearing this swimsuit for years." —Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director

Chloé x Teva Hurricane XLT2 Flat Sandal

"Walking on the beach in sandals is not always an easy feat, but sometimes you just can’t go barefoot—hot sand! Rocks! Shells! I’ll be strapping on these Chloe x Teva's to make beach walks a breeze." —MaryKate Boylan, Senior Fashion Editor

Mirth Pant in Oatmeal

"When it comes to easy, breezy beachy essentials, I turn to Mirth. The brand's pieces are incredibly lightweight, comfortable, and just so darn cute. These wide leg pants are an ideal swimsuit cover up, but they also pair perfectly with a chic crochet top and sandals." —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor
