With the current collection coming to stores in Spring 2011, its time to work on the next step. It is crazy to think that not even six months ago, I was designing my first ever bikini collection, planning a fashion show, and starting my own business. Now I am working on collection number two!

The inspiration board and designs for Spring 2012 are in the works!

I have been so blessed by this experience and I can't wait for the things that are coming up for me!

2012 may just bring headdresses, feathers, face paint, indian summers and burning sunsets to life.





Here we go!

Hola.Bonita

The girls and I had an amazing weekend down south of the border. One of my dearest friends (Dana soon-to-be Saunders) is set the marry the man of her dreams in a couple weeks so we celebrated one of her last weekends as a semi-single woman. Pure Relaxation was the theme of the weekend. Soaking in the sun from the rooftop patio of the chic-est condo in Mexicali with the most amazing group of girls. What a way to spend the day.

As promised...



The video from the flight over Pismo Beach. Such an insane ride.

Did.you.go.outside.today?

It's definitely felt like FALL here the past couple days in San Diego. I heard it's gonna get warm again, but I'm not sure I believe the weathermen since this entire summer (or lack there of) has been a joke.

I think I've worn more sweaters than bikinis this summer, and with that, we transition into the Autumn season.

Taste.the.Vino.

Running wild through the vineyards of the Central Coast was almost like being in heaven for me.






Since I like to enjoy a bottle or two of red wine every so often, it was a pleasure to experience vino in its truest form. Wine-tasting should be on everyone's "to-do" list.

We.own.the.sky.

Nice little sunset flight over pismo beach yesterday after the most perfect day of wine tasting.

The flight was insane. We flew over the ocean, through the dunes, around the piers, and above the coves. Seriously felt like we owned the sky.

On.the.edgE

I was able to kick back this weekend and enjoy myself and the weather.

Since school has officially started again (my last semester ever) I am definitely keeping myself busy and I am trying to make the most of every free minute I have to be inspired by everything around me.
Ill be heading up to Santa Barbara this weekend and I am really looking forward to the drive north. Both to check out boutiques along the way that may be a perfect fit for ANI bikinis, as well as take in the scenery and insane coast line.

Exciting things are in the future for ANI in 2011. The collection will be available, the new collection will be in the works, and women everywhere will be sexier than ever in their ANI bikinis.



enjoy
