Sipping a cocktail on a hot summer day is a great way to relax.  But it’s disappointing when you reach the bottom of the glass and discover that your libation is more watered down than a 90s pop album.  These flavored ice cubes from The Jungalow keep your drink cold without diluting it.  I like these silicone ice cube trays from Williams Sonoma because they’re easier to use than the plastic ones.

Serving your cocktail from a punch bowl?  Make a large ice cube ring filled with fruit and herbs.

Suno Embroidered Peasant Top ($395)

An embroidered cotton top is a great addition to your warm weather wardrobe.  It’s also the perfect attire for a casual backyard party.  You can pair it with shorts, white pants, or skinny jeans.  It’s relaxed and breezy, but still impossibly chic.

Looking for something a bit cheaper?  This Forever21 cap-sleeve top is incredibly cute.  This J.Jill embroidered top with turquoise accents is a good choice.  It also comes in petite and plus-sizes.

I like my peasant blouses with a long-sleeve, so this red-accented top from Shoptiques caught my eye.  This Gibson & Lattimer top with black accents is pretty.

Prefer a tunic length?  Tory Burch is the standard.  This Ark & Co. tunic is more affordable, but just as stylish.  Plus-size?  This Charter Club tunic is lovely.
