Ode To Geodes.







Geodes are at the top of my accessory list for both jewelry and my home for this Fall. I adore the cocktail rings from Mayastar in Wednesday’s post. I just love the natural beauty of these crystal formations. In case you were wondering, a geode is a a hollow rock or nodule with the cavity usually lined with crystals. These geological rock formations occur in sedimentary and certain volcanic rocks.


Geodes were popular in the 80’s. I remember we had a few in our home (I wish I still had them.) Lead by jewelry designer Kimberly McDonald, these little rocks are making a big comeback. I even spotted a few at Home Goods last week (above.) Some have a big fat price tag, some are much more palatable. Whatever your budget, add a little bit of rock to your wardrobe this fall with statement pieces like these. Check out the geodes that made it onto Kiki’s List.

Trend Watch: Tie Dye.


Not just for hippies anymore! Tie dye started to make yet another comeback in Spring of 2008, and I must admit, I cringed a bit at the thought. Well, last summer I found an adorable racer back tie die tank at the Gap for $4.99 (as seen above on Tori Spelling) and I thought not a major commitment -so I bought it. I love that tank, and just last week I found this little number at Forever 21 for $28.

I have totally come full circle on the whole tie dye thing, and I truly beleive that if done right, it can be stunning. Now, don’t get me wrong, there is a fine line.. So be careful and remember to keep it simple. Check out these tastefully decorated ladies…
