A major key to creating a unique style are your accessories. Accessories are an easy and (should be) affordable way to make your wardrobe unlike any other. The best add-ons to any outfit often have a story behind them and can be used as a real conversation starter. Local designer, Deena Kanafani, aka dmk Swag, fashions Evil Eye beaded bracelets that fit all of my accessory qualifications.
The Evil Eye, in many cultures, is said to protect its wearer from those who look at them with envy or dislike, or as dmk Swag calls them “haters”. Evil Eye beads are also believed to bring peace of mind, discourage negativity and encourage positive thoughts. dmk Swag has embraced the beliefs of and worn the Evil Eye for years and wanted to make merchandise that was affordable and accessible to anyone who shares her passion for the story of the Evil Eye, as well as her taste.
dmk Swag’s Evil Eye bracelets range from only $12-$15! You can buy online or on location at several Maryland shops including the Lipstick Lounge – Kentlands (Gaithersburg), My Best Friends Closet (Rockville), Ice Jewelry Montgomery Mall (Bethesda), Gold Palace Montgomery Mall (Bethesda) and The Gold Store (Kensington) and soon you will be able to buy in the District.
These bracelets are best when stacked and layered and the price allows you to buy more than one at a time. Buy in multiples with the Evil Eye in many colors to make the bracelets even bolder. You will want to wear the Evil Eye not just to stay stylish, but also to stay protected and positive.






East Coast Chic (ECC) began as a fashion blog in 2010. I created ECC because the diversity of style on the East Coast is inspirational and endless. ECC allows me to share my favorite fashion thoughts and spots from my headquarters in Washington, DC, as well as other trend setting states along the East Coast and beyond.
