Here is my Evil Eye round up on Well RoundedNY
For as long as I can remember my Nana Kitty, a Brit by way of Russia, has uttered the Yiddish phrase “kennahara,” roughly translated to “No Evil Eyes On You,” while tapping my head. Spanning from cultures as diverse as Ancient Greece, Sanskrit and Japan, this famed amulet represents the sentiment of blocking the stink-eye. And now it turns out one of the oldest talisman to ever be adorned is in vogue again. Here are some stylish ways to watch your back and ward off negativity.
Spring Flats @WellRoundedNY
I am excited to contribute to my dear and talented friend Kaity Velez’s newest project!
WellRoundedNY is a new website geared for mamas-to-be who want pregnancy resource that resonate with their city-savvy selves.
I rounded up 5 must-have Spring Flats that are style centric while keeping in mind the changes that come with being pregnant.

The Official “Safe and Sound” Video Premiere!
It’s with great pleasure that we unveil to you the new video for “Safe and Sound” on VEVO, directed by Grady Hall from Motion Theory and choreographed by Mandy Moore (Silver Linings Playbook).
Watch as exuberant dancers from various eras and cultures participate in a dance off inspired by Capital Cities and the majestic setting of the Los Angeles Theatre.
I had the pleasure of working with the talented group Capital Cities on the music video for the single Safe and Sound. I had such a fun time styling these great guys. Get ready for your new favorite summer jam!
