Jessica Valenzuela, Day 6

Wrapped in Blue

I’m happy when I see blue; it reminds me of the ocean. I love being in the water. Besides a near drowning experience when I was three, the water keeps me calm and safe. I had to unlearn the fears that my experience left me with when I fell in love with kiteboarding. Thanks to the sport, today I love being wrapped in the blue of the ocean.

When I travel I like picking up little souvenirs. The pretty fedora is from Paia Inn in Maui, the gray metal jean jacket is from LA Made, the scarf is soy based from Soy Savvy, the funky socks are from Sox Trot and you should recognize the short booties by now, from Biala. Photographed in the backyard of Rabat. Many thanks to fellow fashionista Mirrah Curtis!
