BIRDS OF A FEATHER: Forego a drab cotton placemat with these conversation starters. The furry mats are made from pheasant feathers and backed with black felt. Available at Jayson Home and Garden.

PLAY TIME: We get the feeling the Clarissa Cuff has something to do with bondage, but regardless, we’re into it. The patent black leather choker edged with pink piping and silver studs is just plain sexy. Available at Agent Provocateur, 47 East Oak St.; 312-335-0229.
