April’s Most Wanted

“I’m big on lip balm. I don’t go out of the house, even to walk the dog, without a tube on me. But for evening affairs? Not so chic. Leave it to Chanel to change that with this ultra-luxe version.”—Karin Nelson, Features Editor

“I want to wear this with all of spring’s soft pleated dresses and skirts.”—Lindsey Frugier, Market Editor

“It’s a pocket-size pot of peachy perfection—now say that 10 times fast!”—Christina Han, Associate Beauty Editor

“Down to the deceptively modest-sounding side dish of cucumber, dill, white grapes, and almonds, my recent dinner at Chicago’s Michelin-starred Boka was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Giuseppe Tentori’s creations are farm fresh and unpretentiously inventive.”—Virginia VanZanten, Associate Editor

“Last fall, Luis Gispert turned Mary Boone Gallery into Canal Street with his photographs of car interiors swathed in counterfeit logos.

“The idea behind these five Hugo Boss fragrances for men is ingenious: Create an olfactory experience based on your favorite suit fabrics. Once you’ve smelled them, the pairings—Cotton & Verbena, Wool & Musk, Silk & Jasmine, Cashmere & Patchouli, Velvet & Amber—totally make sense.”—Armand Limnander, Deputy Editor

“These shoes are a chic way to transition into spring. I’ll wear them with skinny jeans and a chunky sweater.”—Nora Milch, Associate Accessories Editor

“Who needs jewelry when you’re carrying a Jill Milan Art Deco clutch? Made entirely by hand in Florence by one of Europe’s most prestigious jewelers, it’s somewhere between an oversize cigarette case and an exquisite work of art—and there are currently only 20 of them in the world.”—Roseann Marulli Rodriguez, Assistant Managing Editor

“After fielding many requests for the iconic nail bracelet, designed by Aldo Cipullo in the seventies, Cartier is finally reissuing it. The new collection, which also includes rings, launches April 13—along with a retrospective of Cipullo’s work at the Fifth Avenue flagship in New York.”—Claudia Mata, Executive Accessories and Jewelry Editor

“crisp, cool, floral fragrances convey understated elegance to me. jean patou’s Joy, diorissimo, and michael by michael kors fall into this category, and now so does Valentina, a sophisticated blend of bergamot, jasmine, and tuberose, with a hint of amber.”—Jane Larkworthy, Beauty Director
