This is for his pleasure. Boys, add more passion to your fruit with the "Petting Ring" from erotic jeweler Betony Vernon. Going solo never felt better. Plus, it's a fine piece of jewelry to wear in pubic—or, public.
Lowdown: Hand-made—indeed!—of the highest-grade sterling silver (which is hypoallergenic, important because other pieces in the line are inserted). The hand is put in the ohm position, allowing for both self- and higher love.
Price: $1250
At: Atelier New York, 125 Crosby Street, 212-941-8435

Ann Demeulemeester—with her penchant for dark, gothic themes—and the Moroccan babouche (slip-on), may seem like strange bedfellows, but behold the result: a sculpted, high-heeled, sling-backed, ankle-strapped masterpiece. And that's no mirage.
Lowdown: As proof of her devotion, Demeulemeester heats the plastic of her prototypes in her own oven, thus creating their snug shapes right at home. Available in white or black leather.
Price: $870 (a little less in Europe)
At: Barneys in NY and LA, L'Eclaireur in Paris, Dover Street Market in London

For those who don sunglasses to mask nasty hangovers (which, let's not kid ourselves, is everyone reading this), Marni's wide spectrum of extra-large shades has you covered. After all, they're built to endure Italians' sunworshipping ways and utter weakness for Sambucca. Or is that just us?
Lowdown: One size; acetate frames; mostly two-tone lenses.
Price: up to $390
At: Marni, 161 Mercer Street, 212-343-3912 and Jeffrey, 449 W. 14th Street, NYC, 212-255-2434
