The swimwear brand BIKYNI just launched in May but the chic, simple suits have already become something of an obsession among beach-bound editors, stylists, and anyone who wants to mix and match for one price. We caught up with the CEO and Co-Founder, Jude Al-Khalil, to peer through her lens of perfect summertime inspiration. Follow her @BIKYNI.

In her own words: “Ever since the addition of Instagram’s “Explore” page this year, life hasn’t been the same. It’s so easy to get sucked into an hour-long scrolling session discovering new accounts to follow – which is a blessing and a curse for my professional life.

I take social media pretty seriously at BIKYNI because it’s been so instrumental to the brand, so I appreciate when others do too. Here’s my Gramlist of feeds I can’t get enough of for every occasion.”

When I need to be creative or am looking for inspiration:

I’m not sure who they’re actually “collabing” with, but all I know is that they put out incredibly inspirational photos day after day.

I met Danielle a year ago at an event where she sketched one of my bikinis. She has an amazing whimsical style to her work and I’d love to do a print collab with her someday.

Really great vintage photos, but not the ones you see over and over again.

When I need to get the perfect shot:

Lachlan is one of my favorite photographers. He makes everything beautiful and I can’t get enough of his daughter, Scarlett.

I basically have his Instagram on speed dial when I want some quick and easy inspiration.

Powerful and moving photos of architecture that remind me to see beauty in everything around me.

When I need to get away:

Perfect for those times when I’m sitting in my office and want to escape.

Their feed documents every reason why I love living in the West.

For keeping me in the LA-loop…

This is a must-follow for anyone who’s trying to do collaborations with LA-based artists and designers. I’ve made great discoveries here.

For when lunch time comes around:

I’m not usually into food photography, but I love how clean these shots are – and I could eat breakfast all day long, so I’m into it.

And last but not least, when you’re having a bad day:
