If I was into rings, or wore one say… because I was married – it would have to be cool and unique, and these rings fit the bill nicely. The silver is re-claimed and it is inlayed with rosewood, how cool is that? I don’t know how it is done, but I’m sure it isn’t easy. Hint to you married guys, your wedding ring can actually be stylish and not just a piece of metal on your hand. $295 from Simply Wood Rings via Chic Ecologist [ad name=”go-STIL-smbanner”]

Motorcycles are a thing of passion, beauty and freedom. None expresses this quite like the Ducati 848. Now I know you may be wondering why I didn’t just go big and pick the 1098 or 1198- mainly because I value my life.
