YouTube can turn anyone into a overnight celebrity (peace to Twista), but at what cost? Recently, a viral video of two teen girls has been making the rounds, and once again, it proves that people will say anything from the comfort of their own homes. While their rant is your typical “why are black people so _______” jazz, what I’m more concerned about is how young people are taking to the web to air out their views without thinking about the long term effects it may have on their lives. While I don’t know if these girls are actually racist (ignorant? certainly), they…

Black to Dye For
Dry Cleaning Tips11 Feb 2012 | 6:57 amEvery girl has a pair of super black jeans that fit to perfection. What do you do when the inevitable fading occurs after months of washing? If the “faded to gray” look isn’t working for you what are your options? The easiest is to buy a new pair, but what if you just can find the perfect pair again? Jean makers constantly change the styles and consequently the fit may suffer. Maybe the perfect fit is your faded black pair. An option is to have your jeans re-dyed back to super black. We at Jeeves recently dyed two of our client’s favorite True Religion black jeans back…

Watch: Maya Angelou Shares Note to Self, What Advice Would You Give Your Teenage Self?
22 Feb 2012 | 12:46 pmAuthor, activist, and icon Maya Angelou kicked off CBS Morning’s new series “Note To Self” this morning with a little advice to her 15-year-old self. Angelou encourages her younger self to experience the world, really take it all in, and remember that “no one can be more human than you.” Hearing Angelou’s advice to her younger self, made me wonder what I’d tell a younger me. I think–above all else–I think I’d tell my younger self that you are stronger than you think you are and that it’s ok to be different and do what you want. -
Just Trying To Get Paid: National Enquirer Publishes Whitney Houston Casket Photo, Others Try To Cash In
22 Feb 2012 | 12:18 pmYou knew it was just a matter of time, but dammit…people couldn’t even wait a week after her home going service until they capitalized off of Whitney Houston’s death. The supermarket tabloid the National Enquirer recently published an image of Whitney Houston’s body lying in the gold casket, and promised readers to take them inside her private viewing. While I think it’s extra grimy for the tabloid to publish such an image, especially when Houston’s family chose to keep that section of their service private, I wonder who leaked the photo in the first… -
Not Everyone Is Feeling Tyler Perry’s ‘Good Deeds,’ L.A. Bilboard Vandalized
22 Feb 2012 | 11:32 amTyler Perry is either loved or loathed, but few black directors elicit as much debate as Perry. Always ready with his pen, it seems like the actor/director is never at a loss for film ideas, much to the chagrin or delight of the masses. One guy (or gal), dubbed the “Xpo Terrorist,” isn’t happy about Perry’s success. S/he took their frustrations out on a billboard in Los Angeles for Perry’s upcoming film, Good Deeds, scrawling: “Stop letting him make movies.” Photo via MediaBistro, Fish Bowl LA While I may not be a fan of Perry’s work, limiting his… -
Is Virginia’s Controversial Anti-Abortion Law ‘Akin to Rape’?
22 Feb 2012 | 11:05 amProtests are still waging in Virginia as the state legislature is still debating whether or not it will pass a controversial new abortion law that would require women to undergo a trans-vaginal ultrasound before undergoing the procedure. While the Republican-led legislature argues they are aiming to lower the abortion rate by arming women with “the facts,” opponents of the bill say it is tantamount to state-sponsored sexual assault. The divide stems from a provision in the bill that would require women to undergo a medically unnecessary trans-vaginal ultrasound before she…

how to wear: winter layering
7 Feb 2012 | 12:40 pmReader Question With all the winter ‘drapey’ type sweaters, how do you wear one with with a coat? Also can you speak to the need for multi layers that we need up here in the cold frozen north east and still make it look like we’re not a marshmallow and/or make sure that what we are wearing underneath isn’t smooshed when we arrive.

reader question: makeup + clothing color choices for gray hair
25 Jan 2012 | 12:44 pmReader Question There’s a real trend towards women of all ages going gray, whether they have never colored their hair or have stopped coloring their hair. But those of us with silver locks can’t wear the same colors in makeup or clothing that might have worked when our hair had color, and there’s very little guidance for colors that work with gray hair. I would love to see an article on changing makeup and clothing to bring out the best of our gray! (I’m a newbie to the gray world, having colored my hair for over 30 years since my hair started to gray at age 18.)… -

Plus, I’ve been wonderfully occupied with the Style Institute, mentoring and training some amazing women who are launching their own personal styling businesses. Change comes in unexpected ways but if we embrace it, it opens up our world to new opportunities. That’s why for 2012 I’m going to do things just a tad differently here.

Wedding Dress + Plastic Bag = Beware of Mold
19 Jan 2012 | 9:35 amTwo wedding dresses, that were once beautiful and vibrant, were recently shipped to Jeeves with mold issues. Both dresses were sent from a different, devastated bride in a quandary. Initially, they both thought that restoration of their dress was impossible, given the amount of mold that had infected each one. For each dress, the mold issue could have been avoided, had it not been placed in a plastic bag whilst damp for transportation after the wedding. The first dress, took a dip in the Caribbean, along with the bride and groom, as the photographer choreographed a sunset portrait. When… -
Shear Tragedy: Tips for Cleaning Shearling
4 Jan 2012 | 1:30 pmYour man Jeeves knows his clients are no strangers to shearling garments. Let’s face it, shearling is a fashionable way to keep super warm now that the temperatures have dipped in the single digits in New York. However, because shearling is an investment and the winter weather can wreak havoc on your winter wardrobe, most shearling owners find themselves hesitant to pull them from out of the closet on the nasty days. Jeeves wants you to be happy, fashionable and warm, so he put together a little list of tips that will bring you comfort while you wear that shearling garment in any weather. -

diy project: leather lunch tote

DIY Best Of: Cozy Textiles
22 Feb 2012 | 8:00 amBrrrr . . . it’s been beautifully sunny in Brooklyn lately, but still a bit too chilly for my West Coast sensibilities. I’ve scoured our archives and pulled our best cozy textile DIY projects this morning in the hopes that they will warm me up. One thing I love about winter is the prevalence of thick wools, felts, yarns and other plush, textural fabrics. If you have a scrap of felt, a loose skein of yarn or an old sweater or blanket lying around, you’re halfway to making some of these projects already. Enjoy, and stay warm! — Kate Image above: Shelly’s plaid ottoman… -
tiffin lunch kit
22 Feb 2012 | 7:00 amNow that we have a proper office, I’m excited to start bringing my lunch to work. The first week or so, I was enamored with ordering in every day (so many options to try!), but now that reality has set in, bringing something pre-made is clearly the better choice. This beautiful ceramic Tiffin Lunch Kit was designed by Lorea Sinclaire and stacks on top of itself to create both storage and a serving surface (a natural cloth elastic strap keeps it all in place). I love the cork lid and would definitely be more inclined to “brown bag it” if this was my bag. Lorea is now… -
nailed it
22 Feb 2012 | 6:00 amSometimes, there are no words for something so cute that it surpasses the limits of conventional language. Example? These crazy-adorable flower nails from Japan.* I’m not sure why, but half of the “OMG so cute!” things I see these days seem to come from Japan. They’ve got “cute” on lock-down. These nails come in a set of six and have a sweet little flower design on top. They beg to be used in a Tord Boontje-style pattern and make me wonder why more designers haven’t made decorative nail heads like this before. I’d be all over some geometric nail… -
birds words
22 Feb 2012 | 5:00 amIt’s funny — I’ve noticed that some of my favorite bird-themed design comes from Portland, birthplace of Portlandia and the phrase, “Put a Bird on It.” I spotted this beautiful hand-carved ceramic trivet at Alder & Co., one of my favorite shops in PDX. The dark brown glaze is warm and rich, and each trivet comes with a leather cord and hooks for hanging if you’d rather show it off than use it to cool hot pots. Ever since I picked up my first Lee Hanson tile back in 2006, I’ve been a fan of hanging pieces like this — they add dimension and texture to…

TAG Heuer Carrera Mikrograph
5 Feb 2012 | 5:39 amOne look at the TAG Heuer Carrera Mikrograph and it’s easy to tell this watch is going to be pricey. TAG Heuer has introduced the first ever column wheel integrated mechanical chronograph displaying the 1/100th of a second with a striking central hand allowing for easy reading. To me that just sounds expensive. Entirely designed, patented, developed and manufactured in La Chaux-De-Fonds in Switzerland, the luxury watch features two assortments, 62 jewels and 396 components; the case of TAG Heuer Carrera Mikrograph is 43mm diameter; both crystals are sapphire and covered with safe… -
Bermuda Shorts By Hartford

Available in brown or light blue, this particular classic lightweight cotton Bermuda short features five external pockets and a buttoned internal pocket, a button closure, zip fly and belt hooks. Priced at $165, these shorts require only a crisp, white T-shirt and some killer sandals to complete a mostly perfect look for those hot summer days. Mr. Porter (our favorite new site) suggests a Calvin Klein T-shirt and Polo Ralph Lauren sandals. But the beauty of the Bermuda… -
H?Katsukawa, Tokyo Silkprint Collection
3 Feb 2012 | 12:07 pmLuxury shoes always fall on the side of “buy,” but the shopping list would get too lengthy, too fast if we really planned on getting every single pair we saw. However, the H?Katsukawa Tokyo Silkprint Collection might be something that you actually want to track down, budget for, beg for, whatever suits your fancy. Certainly for the dapper man, the Tokyo Silkprint Collection has derbys and oxfords available with an antique-looking finish. Black round laces look superb on the pairs, of course, but so do the skinny light-colored laces shown above–or both. Paying more attention… -
Acronym iPad Bag
2 Feb 2012 | 3:23 pmAcronym’s iPad Bag costs basically as much as an iPad, and when I first saw it, I thought that maybe you got the iPad, and the bag came for free. Wrong, but that could be a cool partnership. The Acronoym Circdiscover iPad Bag has a swivel design that’s so ingenious. You’ll want this if you love your iPad, without a doubt, using it while you’re standing on the street corner, in line, or meandering through the park (but just make sure the area’s clear of iPad bandits). Here’s the thing: this bag, available at Havenshop.ca, is currently sold out. I want it;…

Skincare Memoirs of a Geisha
20 Feb 2012 | 7:03 pm"For over 300 years, Japan’s geisha have been held in awe for their enduring wisdom and breathtakingly beautiful, porcelain skin," says Victoria Tsai of TATCHA, the skincare company she founded to give those of us outside this secret sisterhood equal access to their flawless complexions. "Perfected through centuries of timeless rituals," adds Tsai, "it was widely believed these beauty secrets had been passed down from one generation of geisha to the next by word of mouth alone." Not quite. A 200 year-old manuscript written in the twilight of the country's…
