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.

Good Vibes...

I'm in major need of a VACATION. However, I don't have time to take a real one any time soon, so I just booked myself and some friends a room at the ACE hotel in Palm Springs for a little "Daycation" next weekend.
This place is ridiculous. It's got such good vibes and a true 70's aesthetic I cannot wait to do nothing but lay out by the pool all day, sip on sweet mojitos and jam to some tasty tunes.

The hotel SCREAMS old vintage Palm Springs and it's right up (or down) my alley. I'm also thinking of proposing the idea of a future ANI. photoshoot there some day in the future. Seems like the perfect location to me.

Ch-ch-check it out...

Dirty Class...

"For the women who are like me. For the women who inspire me. Who aren't afraid to show some skin, walk around the pool sipping a martini in 5 inch heels, or run down the beach and surf for hours. I want the women who wear ANI. to not only make a statement, but to be the statement.

'Fashion fades, style is eternal.' Women who wear ANI. will be drawn to what I create because they have style, elegance, charm, and class. But they will not be afraid to get dirty, dance their booties off, and drink beer with the men.

We are not afraid of anything. We look good. We have fun. We travel the world and make memories no one will ever forget. We cause trouble and we don't care. Because at the end of the day, the best dressed wins."
