Happy Hour: A Rose By Any Other Name

I don’t drink much wine.  I have a few favorites, but other than that, I’m happier with a cocktail.  I have, however, taken a real liking to rose.  Buzzfeed has an interesting post things you need to know about rose.  My favorite bottle?  Isabel Mondavi Rose.  It has a deep flavor and is eminently drinkable.

J.Crew White Poplin Top ($78 + 25%-off with code Summertime)

If rose is my drink of the season, crisp, white tops are my favorite piece for summer.  There’s no call to spend much money on them.  This top from J.Crew is a great choice.  I also like this tunic from Bryn Walker and this Helmut Lang sleeveless top.  This C. Luce poplin top is also a great choice with fun details.

Petite?  This roll-sleeve top from Gap is a classic.  I also like this Ralph Lauren tunic (also in misses).  Plus-size?  This Vince Camuto mixed media top is a good choice.  Tall? This Old Navy pintucked top is nice.
