Designer Ceren Keyman is fabricating a plethora of turkish delights. Handbags, jewelry, and soon a a collection of furniture will be available for our viewing pleasure.
I have always regarded purses with disdain, they’re just so boring and far too easy to lose. This is the first one that I would never let out of my sight.

There is a serious paucity of white clothing in this dreary black and gray world. If only it was easier to clean…….

In these economic times, we fashionistas are taking a hard hit. Money is becoming scarce and price tags keep on soaring. Garments that were in near financial reach last year now seem miles away. In a age where style is constantly in flux, a standstill wardrobe is unacceptable. We here at Stylecunt are not blind to your plight, and would like to offer some (hopefully) helpful advise.
MAKE DO AND MEND
It was good enough for grandma, so it’s good enough for us. If something breaks, fix it. Buying simple supplies from your local fabric store is substantially cheaper than replacing garments altogether. It’s easier than you think, most repair jobs do not necessitate the use of a sewing machine.
MODIFY
I can’t tell you how many different garments you can make from a simple t-shirt. When an item of clothing becomes stodgy, consider simple alterations in lieu of the rubbish bin. Sometimes, scissors can be your best friend. Turn those pants into capris, rip off the sleeves of that shirt, distress that dress, etc etc etc. Also, familiarize yourself with the world of fabric dyes.
FLEAS
Flea markets are true gold mines. They’re an oasis of folks who don’t know the true value of their wares. Clothing can be lacking at these emporiums, what you really need to scavenge for is accessories. Gloves, hats, and jewelry are always rampant at fleas. Antique kid leather gloves are easy to find, and through creative cutting, can be transformed into haute ornaments Julius would be proud of. Also, with some resourceful pinning, shawls become two second skirts. The possibilities are endless, keep you eyes open. Craigslist is an excellent source to find local garage sales and estate auctions.
LAYAWAY
Can’t afford it now? Pay it off over time! Many boutiques offer this kind service, and I urge you to take advantage of it.
DECONTAMINATE
For the love of Pete, clean out your closets. If you have a pile of clothes that you a) Don’t want to alter, b) Are too lazy to sell, and c) Don’t fit any more, give them away! Clothing swaps are how I acquired nearly one fourth of my wardrobe. Your friends need your help in this time of fashion crisis, lend them a hand.
EBAY
There are some labels that most of us will never be able to afford, so buy it secondhand. I can reveal to you that all of my pieces from designer All Saints were gained through this medium.
GOODWILL
Racks of tops that are all under $8, what more do I have to say?
BUDGET SITES
There are scores of websites out there with loads of cheap shoes and clothes.
I do indeed hope that this post was helpful to those of you feeling your belts tighten.
For the first time, I will be taking submissions. Send me your make do and mend’s, your own penny pinching ideas, fashion you believe should be killed with fire, and the like. I want you to send me photos of your outfits. The most ‘fashion forward’ outfit of August shall obtain a special prize from Stylecunt.
Please send all submissions to stylesnatch@gmail.com.
And with that, I leave you with some visual eye candy. Ignore the makeup, adore the accessories.

I happen upon these images by mistake, and felt the need to share them with you striplings. My favorite photographers are the ones who create movement in a still image, I bet you can guess my leviathan. You can postulate that the combination of this style of photography mixed with a fashion editorial sends me reeling with joy.
