Chic choices

SEASONAL STYLE, DRESSED UP OR DOWN

AprilMarin, the Armonk-based fashion company led by April Bukofser and Marin Milio, is welcoming spring (and summer) with flair. We just love the new warm-weather designs, including the stylish ease of the Christine Tube Dress ($198). It features a deep side pocket and flared hem on the 100-percent linen skirt, which flows gently from the 100-percent cotton top. Choose pink (pictured here), aqua — or both.

BUDDING BEAUTIES

The jewelry of Stamford-based Carolee often carries a floral theme, and the new collections follow suit. We’ve been particularly captivated by a selection of necklaces that will take you from a weekend brunch to afternoon cocktails by the pool to a Friday-night wedding – and, come to think of it, pretty much everything in between. Our favorites include the Gemstone Garden Floral Frontal Necklace ($75), featuring pink enamel and clear crystal and sold at Lord & Taylor; and carried by Bloomingdale’s, the Perennial Beauty Openwork Necklace ($125), a dramatic design featuring goldtone metal and crystal, and the Perennial Beauty Dramatic Collar Necklace ($175), a bold statement piece made out of genuine amazonite, green jade, dyed blue jade and glass-faceted beads.

The Dagobert Peche Scattered Blooms tabletop service, exclusive to the Design Shop of the Neue Galerie in Manhattan, includes charming creations in pure white porcelain, delicately hand-painted and edged in gold. The collection ($270-$365), produced by Anna Weatherley based on circa 1913-14 patterns by Peche, the Austrian decorative arts master, allows you to set a table with both springtime elegance and a bit of history.

FURNITURE

Take a seat in floral splendor. The bespoke Jardin d’Eden Chair by Marcel Wanders for Christofle ($4,200) is a stainless steel piece crafted entirely with one engraving of the iconic Jardin D’Eden pattern. The intricate design continues the partnership between the luxury silversmith and Wanders, one that combines a tradition of fine craftsmanship with a mastery of elegance and fine detail. The statement piece, functional art ideal for a dining or entertaining space, is available with or without a leather seat cushion (customized based on color preference). A work of art in itself, the chair has been displayed as part of a Wanders exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
