JUST BACK FROM ...SCOTTSDALE

The lovely Hermosa Inn in Paradise Valley. Other highlights of CSL's stay:
The Phoenician, Montelucia, Hyatt Gainey Ranch, and Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain

The mineral pool at the Spa at Hyatt Gainey Ranch. So peaceful.

The stunning mountain, with yellow cabana's by the pool at The Phoenician

Oaxacan Shandy at Blanco, refreshing and delicious

Super talented Executive Chef at Blanco, Saul Velasquez. Try everything on the menu and be sure to save room for desert- Flan and Mexican chocolate cake, some of the best we've tasted.

CSL is just back from Scottsdale. Sunny, bright and relaxing. Great restaurants, luxurious accommodations and amazing people (plus lots more!). The team also headed for a road trip to the breathtaking red rocks of Sedona. Read more in an upcoming issue of City Style and Living.

Image K&S Media

This delightful treat, was CSL's take home dessert from the Four Seasons Troon North in Scottsdale. Chewey, buttery chocolate chip cookies with huge chunks of milk chocolate were washed down with the most indulgent ice cold vanilla bean milk, served in a glass jar.

This is a must try when visiting Scottsdale.

Another must? The Sumptuous Chilaquiles at CRESCENT MOON a tortilla casserole with eggs, green onions, queso Oaxaca, and smoky blackened tomato salsa with a bowl of steaming vanilla bean latte overflowing with delicate foam. Beyond amazing.
