reLAUNCH...

I redid my website. I made it live a few months back, having no idea what I was doing, but was just excited to get my name out in the internet world.

I still have no real idea how to make a website, but I played around a bit tonight and made it a bit more "ANI".

I encourage feedback, as well as advice or recommendations or offers on making it better.
By no means is it at its finest, just a start, but I think we're off to a good start with the sophisticated simplicity...

Ladies and Gents...

ANI. bikinis..

Happy.

HUMP DAY..

STONE.COLD.

Foxy pieces.

Im in LOVE with Stone Cold Fox. If you haven't seen or heard, you should definitely check out their collection and their story. I'm inspired by young designers doin their thang'.

These girls got style and savv..and I think their pieces would look insane paired with ANI. bikinis...just sayin.

The process...

From inspiration.


To product.

Sneak a Peek...

Amanda and I have spent the past couple weeks working avidly on our samples. Our trip to LA last week treated us well as we had almost all swimwear samples completed, and a few of the outerwear/cover ups done!! We felt like it was Christmas morning trying everything on and making sure everything was perfect. And so far, so good as we are moving closer to photoshoot day and FASHION show day.

Sneak a peak at what we've been workin on...and by no means is this it. There is SO much more to be revealed but I can't give it all up right away right??!

Enjoy.

Hey Ma'

Just wanted to say Happy Day Mama. I'm so thankful for the beautiful woman who has spent her days raising me and my brother. She is so amazing and loving and encouraging and I can't imagine life without my mother.

I came across some vintage photos of my hot mama, as well as some other swanky moms around town. I love the look of old photos, and REAL vintage women who scream style. We are getting closer and closer to the day of ANI. photoshoot, and I'm getting all sorts of inspiration from old photos of classy, stylish women.

Enjoy

and to all you other moms...HAPPY DAY!

Hey Oliver...

Oliver Peoples is basically genius. I'm obsessed with all their product, and they way they market. I REALLY want/need to start making videos of everything I do. I've been telling myself to document every part of this process, but I haven't really lived up to my words.

This video only makes me want to create fun "ANI. blurbs" that bring the bikinis to life. Add some swanky accessories and good vibes and I think we're onto something. I wanna bring the swagger and charm back to the world of bikini making. I know it's not easy, but it's simple if you want it to be.

The children are bored on Sundays...enjoy.
