<span style="text-align: left;">These 1970's wide leg pants belonged to my mum, and now they are mine! I paired this with a 1950's cropped zip-up knit cardigan, a modern basic tank and platform leather shoes. </span></center>

I've been doing some additional blogging on the<a href="http://www.heirloomen.com/" target="_blank"> Heirloomen Vintage</a> shop site. Unfortunately, the Google search-ability for Shopify blogs is pretty poor compared to Blogger. I will have to double up and post some articles here, so vintage enthusiasts and readers can find them.

<div>
A re-brand was in order. Sticky Lipgloss Vintage was started when I was in college, as I sourced through thrift stores and family members and focused on what I would call more contemporary vintage. Heirloomen focuses on the romantic and feminine aesthetic of periods from 1900's through the early 1960's with special pieces from later eras, as well. We gather our collections from sources all over the U.S, looking for rare and beautiful finds for you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
True vintage is a special niche. I wanted to create a stand-alone website that captured to mode of shop. I am still selling some pieces on Etsy, but Heirloomen.com will feature free shipping and better images, as well as blog content and styling inspiration<br />

Channeling my 90's goth girl look here. Ironically - no pieces are from the 90's. All black, dark lips, strappy shoes, a few textures, and great angles. This 1950's peplum top is available in the Etsy shop. It is so versatile, can be dressed up or down and a great neckline for jewelry (I chose some big earrings).</center>

There are many ways to wear antique pieces with more modern pairings, especially cotton and crochet Edwardian camisoles and blouses. The detail on this blouse is eye catching, due to the craftsmanship of the texture unseen in most garments today, yet it is a class and simple wardrobe staple. Certainly beautiful! </center>

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/111910235@N07/16304453852" title="B64McRNIQAEsl7y by courtney rae, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7522/16304453852_82370ff085_z.jpg" width="600" alt="B64McRNIQAEsl7y"></a>

There's been some buzz going around the internet about a surfaced before and after portrait of the vintage starlet, Joan Crawford. It was taken in 1931, Joan was 26. The retouched photo is completely smoothed over, every single line and wrinkle is removed, and her eyebrows and makeup are darkened.
<br />
<br />
With all the chatter about the overuse of Photoshop in the fashion and glamor industry, it makes you wonder - have women been being <i>tricked</i> into chasing after the beauty standards of Hollywood for an entire century, beauty standards that don't even exist? In the 1930's, you can imagine how little the public knew about the retouching of the photographs they saw. At least today, we have the internet to show us the before and after versions.
So how did they do it before computers and digital programs to remove wrinkles and bad shadows? It was all done manually, in the darkroom, on the actual film or while transferring the image from the negative. It was common for photo artists to add in the touches with fine brushes and special inks and paints.
<br />
<br />
Most of the facial smoothing in the Joan Crawford picture was achieved through dodging and burning - the process of allowing more or less light to certain areas of the image while the negative is being projected to the photo paper. This allows some of the hard facial lines and shadows to be lightened up. It's a very time consuming and difficult task, taking hours in the darkroom to perfect one photograph. You will notice in present day Photoshop, there is dodge and burn tool named after this antiquated, manual technique.<br />

So, yes, most of your favorite vintage celebrities with their flawless, milky skin, and big, glossy eyes, we're probably not as perfect as you think. But the glamor of old Hollywood still far outshines modern celebrity culture, in my eyes, retouched crows feet or not.</center>

Think back to the 1950's - women spent most of their time at home, caring for their husbands and children. Basic appliances and ready-made food were just being introduced. Dinner parties, church bake clubs, and family meal time were the social functions that brought people together. No doubt, in those times, it was important to look good while getting that roast in the oven. Fancy aprons were not only collected and worn, but also made by hand. The variety and craftiness of these aprons is astonishing. Unfortunately, as the years have passed, this accessory has faded into an essential piece of kitchenware to keep flour off of our clothes.</center>

These are a few of the aprons I have listed in the shop. Relatively novice sewers can buy and complete a basic vintage pattern like the one below. They are somewhat easy to make, and a good place to start for someone learning to sew. They also make fun and personal gifts for anyone learning to bake.</center>

I've been busy trying to find an apartment. Turns out I'm really picky.. I blame that on going to an art and design school, as well as Pinterest. It also turns out that Pittsburgh rental properties still think it's 1988, with wall to wall carpet, no natural light, and mirror-lined walls. I didn't get a college degree and a good job to have windows the size of a cat, nor do I want to see a reflection of my ass at all waking hours of the day. Mirror paneled walls are for strip clubs, end of story. I feel like by the time I find the perfect place, I'll be ready to relocate. <br />
<br />
Happy Monday!<br />

I spent some time this weekend designing new tags and business cards for my shop, mostly because many people have been asking me at my new job, and I've had nothing of quality to provide them with. The cards look great in person, much better than they do against the white background here on my blog, but you get the idea. Hope everyone had a great, and productive weekend, as well!<br />

Here are some photos of my extensive vintage jewelry collection. While most of the pieces I have are just costume jewelry, they're still elegant, timeless and mix well with modern fashion. Long pendant necklaces from the 70's, particularly animal shapes, are my favorite. I also love anything obnoxiously sparkly, like mid-century aurora borealis beads and crystal tennis bracelets. Shop my vintage jewelry box in the jewelry section of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/stickylipgloss?section_id=7045739">Sticky Lipgloss Vintage</a>.<br />

I've been totally obsessed with the Instagram photo app for iPhone for months now. Thought I'd share with you a collage of my favorites over the past half a year or so. If you use it, make sure to follow me @stckylipvintage!<br />

I've been finding some fabulous vintage in the past recent weeks. I love unearthing vintage from unique locations near and far. There are boxes full of clothing in my living room, as I go through them one by one to clean, sew, and bring back to life for the store (or myself, if they fit!). I've got tons of new items and really exciting ones at that, I'll try to post more pictures later this week. I've also been adding a few new items to the shop today, and last week. A grand sneak peek of some awesome things to come will be posted soon, I promise.<br />
<br />
As for me, I was in Boston over the weekend with my boyfriend for his Godson's 1st Birthday party. And while I got no vintage there, I had plenty of fun wearing it. After all, that's why we love it. Hope you had a great weekend<br />
<br />

We had such a beautiful day today, I had to go outside and see if I could still climb the tree in the backyard. I could, kind of. In other news, I spent the weekend in New York visiting the boyfriend and boating on the Finger Lakes. While there, I was able to get some new vintage items for the store. Hopefully they will be in stock by early next week. In the meantime, I'm going to eat some more ice cream and watch The Nanny until I fall asleep on my dog. <br />

These gorgeous pieces were added either yesterday or will be coming up later in the week along with a few other items. Lots of pretty dresses for summer! Enjoy.<br />

Flowers, flowers, flowers! Summer is so pretty. I love having all the windows open and listening to the birds chirp while I work away on whatever my latest project is. I think I need to get out of summer vacation mode, and start getting up earlier though. I need to run a couple miles before it gets too hot, and start being productive well before lunch. Sometimes being a night owl is very frustrating. <br />
<br />
I took a weekend trip back up to New York to visit my boyfriend. We lucked out and had great weather the whole time which allowed us to eat lunch at a sidewalk cafe, go to the pool, see a drive-in movie, and run a few miles together. It was a nice time. OH. And he had a surprise waiting for me when I got there. Two tickets to Vegas, next weekend! I couldn't be more excited, for I have never been there, and despite not even knowing how to gamble, I'm sure I will love it.<br />
<br />
I also added a few new items to the shop today, and hopefully there will be some more up by the end of the week. Take a look!<br />
<br />

Also, I have a TON of amazing items to list within the coming weeks. In the past few days I have been busily working to re-photograph every piece against the new gray studio wall, but getting organized is keeping me occupied as well! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i921.photobucket.com/albums/ad53/stickylipglossblog/vintagegalore.png" /></div><br />
In my new workspace, I finally have loads of shelves, racks, and cabinets instead of storing hats, clothes and bags in plastic tubs and containers. It is nice not only for storage, but I love admiring displayed pieces, as they inspire and motivate me, creatively.<br />
<br />
Other than working on the store, I have made time for some local adventures. I visited the Mattress Factory Museum of installation art in Pittsburgh, two weeks ago. There were a lot of cool exhibits, and some that were even too far out for this art major to fully understand. I still need to get to the Andy Warhol and the Carnegie Museum of Art, though. I'd also like to to make another trip out to Philadelphia, and NYC for an art excursion while visiting friends there. I love visiting other cities in the U.S. and I would love to do more traveling within the country. <br />

<br />
I've been in the process of re-photographing all of the clothing from my store, against the gray wall in my new studio space. While it is a a lot of work to re-shoot 100 pieces of clothing, I think the new background looks great.<br />
<br />
Hopefully the newly revamped photos and items will all be online within the next couple of days. Have a great weekend!<br />
