Covet turns your laptop into your personal stylist
I have a dream: I want someone to go into my closet, take a look at what I have, and then tell me what else I need. And of course, I want suggestions that work with what I'm already wearing, and that are cool and fun, and maybe, just maybe, are on sale.

Swimsuits for moms who might have forgotten to do their pilates. All year.
Waaaay back before I had kids, I could get away with wearing any old cute little swimsuit found at my local boutique. But now the thin layer of spandex accompanied by teeny tiny straps just doesn't cut it anymore, so I often turn to a couple of our secret swimwear sources each Summer.

A sports bra that makes working out with baby a little easier. Darnit.
