Long sleeve work dresses are tough to find, but this color block dress from J.Crew is perfection. I love the mix of charcoal and pale blue. The thing I like most about this dress is that it’s unique enough to be worn its own.
Want a long sleeve color block dress that costs a bit less? It’s tough to gauge length on a model, but this tan and black Rebecca Minkoff is nice. This black and white Three Dots dress looks like it would be very slimming. And if you need something under-$50, this Corey Paige dress is a good choice.
Should you prefer something in a solid, I adore the folded details on this v-neck Ivy & Blu dress. (It’s a gorgeous Rebecca Taylor copy.) Also, don’t miss this black Isaac Mizrahi dress with a textured fabric.
Plus-size? Try this color block Calvin Klein dress or this v-neck Ralph Lauren sheath. Petite? The J.Crew dress above also comes in petites. Tall? This black and white Banana Republic dress is the best thing I found.
For many years, my cocktail of choice was a whiskey sour or a bourbon sour. The trouble is, most bars just use sour mix instead of fruit juices, which makes for a disgusting cough syrup-like cocktail. So this recipe for an updated whiskey sour from Food52 was a welcome addition to my recipe box.
Their New York Sour contains all the classic sour components–rye, lemon, simple syrup and a garnish–but this one adds something special, red wine. So if you love sours, but want to try something new, give this cocktail a try. It’s perfect for a post-holiday Monday evening.

For those in DC…Founding Farmers makes a terrific New York Sour! I can attest to how delicious they are despite the seemingly incongruous ingredients.

love the dress and the color combination. Even the shoes the model is wearing makes the whole thing work.
