If you go on vacation and you don’t Instagram, did it really happen? Well, of course it did, but that doesn’t mean you should skimp on humble-bragging about those sunsets, beachside cocktails, and of course your cute swimsuits. From hand-knit onesies to the go-to brand of Bondi Beach, here are eight fresh designers that will make you the envy of Insta.
Mikoh is what we refer to as a quintessential L.A. brand, which makes sense since sisters and founders Oleema and Kalani Miller grew up in Orange County, California. Thanks to L.A.’s own Kylie Jenner, the brand has risen in popularity, spearheading the return of the beachy tube top and overt sex appeal.
How to Instagram it: With your BFF who just happens to be wearing a coordinating bikini.

ABOUT THE ISSUE “GLOBAL GENERATION”
I embarked on my first trans-Pacific journey from New York to Hong Kong when I was ten-months old. Year after year, I would make the trip to pay homage to my immediate family living abroad. I owe the innate travel bug to my parents, who allowed me to experience the exhilaration of touching down in a foreign land from an early age. My travels over the past decade have brought me to more than twenty countries, from unearthing the ancient ruins of Bagan (Myanmar) to circling Iceland on the One Ring road in a camper van.
Living in New York has intensified my desire for the necessity of constant movement. The urban jungle breeds materialism and a luxury of excess, characteristics that are quickly stripped away when you are standing at the edge of the Earth. It is when I am far beyond the reaches of the metropolis that I remember the simple pleasures in life and how being in a state of wonderment is an accomplishment on its own. Travel is about the journey, not the destination. Every experience is a culmination of our own worldview and acknowledging that travel has the power to deconstruct the way we perceive our way of life. It is about the people we meet along the way who challenge the way we think, inspire us to create and electrify our lives.
Being globally minded is more than a generational trend; it is an understanding of the interconnectedness in today’s modern society and the influence it holds for us to make an impact. It is an appreciation for a heightened social awareness and having a personal spiritual sense of the world. It is this notion that I hope to share with you: a mindset that has become our global generation. Each story in this inaugural issue illuminates individuals who are forging their path as leaders of this movement. We are blessed with one life to live on this incredible planet, and every day, we are given a new chance to forge your own path. My dream is for Electrify Magto inspire you to look within yourself and begin your journey.

It’s getting to be that time of the year when everyone is planning their big tropical vacation. The thought of white sand beaches, unfamiliar cuisines, and warm waters is enough to make you book a flight ASAP. Since you probably don’t venture to such locations too often, packing for the trip can seem like a bit of a mystery. Because we want every aspect of your tropical endeavor to be as relaxing as possible, we reached out to professional surfer and Reef brand ambassador Paige Maddison for some insider packing tips.
It is part of her job description as a Reef ambassador to travel the world to surf, explore, and adventure in the most beautiful locations, which for the most part are in fact tropical. I was lucky enough to travel with the Reef team and Paige to Nicaragua and join in on Reef’s “Just Passing Through” lifestyle and motto. It was there that I got to see Paige’s vacation style in action; she seemed to effortlessly have just the right thing to wear at all times, consistently stylish andpractical.
With everything from sensible footwear to hats that actually protect you from the strong sun, how many bathing suits you should reasonably pack, and last-minute travel essentials you’ve never thought of before, this list will ensure you are packed and ready for your most amazing vacation yet.
