About Us
I adore all things vintage.
From classic fabrics and colors to hunting down the right piece or accessory of vintage media. Vintage finds are always an interesting and fun part of life to me. Vintage pieces can give a unique look and feel to an outfit or a room, especially when something “new” needs a balance.
I have found that people like fashion for different reasons…I enjoy the artistic, creative, colorful side of it…designing, & putting it all together…making new, creative friends and sharing similar interests and ideas…and I am especially touched when I see a purposeful fashion event, like many are, where money is raised for helping children, disease, and hopeful students!
I’ve loved fashion as long as I can remember, and I’ve been in the beauty and design industry since the time I modeled in 6th grade…since then, I couldn’t wait to purchase the new issue of Vogue magazine…but I was drawn to the more classic, modest styles…the textures and colors of it.
As an lds christian mom, I see a need for modest alternatives to fashion and trends. Mormon moms like fashion too, but many of the current cuts and hemlines don’t work for us.
I’m excited to share my collection with others and hope that they’ll enjoy it as much as I enjoy designing it!

My Studio Room
My Studio Room My studio is filled with fabric of all genre…I think I need an automatic air filter in here to pick up all the microscopic fibers which I know are fluttering through this room clogging my nasal passages. I changed my cutting blade today…I love that first clean cut of a new blade-no

Up-and-Coming: Cio Designs
As you all know, I love supporting up-and-coming designers and labels. And to add another one to my ones-to-look-out-for list, I am pleased to feature a new label fresh from Dallas — Cio Designs.
While New York is USA’s fashion central, Dallas does not come too far behind. This metropolitan has a lot of new talented fashion designers as it can now be considered the ‘home of up-and-coming fashion designers’. And one of the rising star in the Dallas fashion field is thevintage-inspired fashion label, Cio Designs.
Cio, the creator and designer of Cio Designs, has a huge love for fashion and infatuation for all things vintage. But while she enjoys what she sees on the world’s most renowned runways, she does not see it very fit for everyday use and for everybody’s taste. For that reason, Cio Designs was born.
“I’ve loved fashion as long as I can remember, and I’ve been in the beauty and design industry since I modeled in 6th grade. Since then, I couldn’t wait to purchase the new issue of Vogue magazine… but I was drawn to the more classic, modest styles, the textures and colors of it,”says Cio. “As a Christian mom, I see a need for modest alternatives to fashion and trends. Mormon moms like fashion too, but many of the current cuts and hemlines don’t work for us.”
Cio Designs caters to women all over the world. Their collections are inspired mostly by vintage styles, Art Deco, and classic looks spiced with a dash of “preppiness”. Their collection aims to provide runway-worthy,elegant-preppy designs suitable for everyday wear - runway for everyday as they call it. And as far what I have seen, their designs will be a hit for women of ages 20 and above. Cio Designs will be debuting at 2012 Pin Show in Dallas.
So if you have a thing for vintage-inspired pieces, Art Deco fashion, and classic, modest looks, go and take a peak at Cio Designs’ website: designsbycio.com

“In the case of Dallas fashion designer company, Cio Design, the brand new design introducing character”…
…”An growing desire for a timeless high quality in our clothes selection, it has seen a return of materials and types that had been once known as ‘classic fashion‘ and may even have been thought as frumpy or dowdy to explicit age groups (reserved for a selected sort of woman that may take into account tweed a staple part of their weekend wardrobe) now generates an enormous impression on the catwalks”…http://www.animalsthatkeepclintawakeatnight.com/
