I spent time in Tahoe with my family for the Christmas Holiday... I had the most amazing time both hanging with the fam, and riding the snow all day, everyday.

My brother took some insane time-exposure shots of the star-filled sky outside our place on Christmas eve and heres what came out..





We have an amazing universe. Im obsessed with these photos.

Happy Christmas friends and followers. I hope everyone has an amazing Holiday with their families and loved ones.



Im sending all my love from Lake Tahoe. It's perfectly beautiful out here. If I weren't in the bikini business, I'd stay here forever.

Love you all.
Thank you for the love and support this past year.
It's been amazing and there's only more goodness to come.

Happy Holidays

Coming.Soon.........

Hello friends...

I am so sorry to neglect my blog.
I have been so completely consumed with school the past few weeks.
I've almost made it a point to discipline myself to not blog, weird I know,
but I need to focus on school...
for one more week,
then it's back to biz-nass.

I have so much to share,
and you will not be disappointed.

Until then....

Can't WAIT to see the finished product.

Thanks again everyone who helped!

Duh.

I know I talk a lot about all the great people in my life. But I really do, have the most amazing people in my life. People that encourage, people that inspire, people that love, people with passion, people with a story, people with swagger, people worth talking to, people who take the time to hear my story, my passion, and my thoughts, people of style, people of grace, some simply amazing people.
Cheers to that!

...or hicksville in this case. A new girlfriend of mine introduced me to this little gem in the middle of nowhere, and im kinda thrilled about it.






Imagine the possibilities this place could bring to the 2012 Collection! I don't want to give up what I've been working on, which may or may not include motorcycles and headresses (as in previous posts), but I think place is magical and inspiring and I can't wait for the things that are coming up for ANI bikinis!

Yeow!

Mustache.Motorcycle

My best friend Kelli threw a surprise party for the man of her dreams/husband this past weekend. We all chipped in a got him a "new" vintage motorcycle. It's easy to say we all had a rad time and that Sam was utterly surprised not only by the sight of his closest friends/family all wearing mustaches, but by his brand new toy :)
I too am kind of obsessed with the new moto and would like to borrow it for a future photoshoot for the 2012 collection.
Take a look at that beauty...

Happy bday SLAMMER!
