Essie Spring 2016 Collection

Dubai, UAE, February 9, 2016:

Where do you go to relax and recharge? My happy place is Florida, Palm Beach in particular. As soon as Winter’s chill is finally gone, Spring fever hits and the only cure is a trip to get in a sunshine state of mind. Like so many before me, spending time there at the end of Winter has become second nature; an instinctive migration for a carefree getaway. Plus, it’s where my parents live, so every Spring my family gathers at the beach for an extended holiday taking in the sea salt air and pristine shoreline.

I love going off tropic and watching the simple pleasure of palms swaying in the breeze. Palm Beach is my favorite paradise escape – I turn off my cell phone, climb into a hammock and enjoy the company of my nearest and dearest. We kick back and let ourselves indulge – the kids love the pool and the adults love the pool side service.

Afternoon cocktail, anyone? After basking in the sun all day, I always find time to spoil myself with retail therapy. With so many ways to shop, Palm Beach is a real high class affair – the perfect place to explore your fashionable side.

So this season, I’m sending you a slice of life from paradise.
You’ll find each shade has distinctive personality, but all six are little rays of sunshine in a bottle.

Race you to the beach,
