My Personal Favorites:

After visiting the gorgeous Scott Resort, I knew I wanted Arizona to be my new home. If you're in a shopping mood, you can't go wrong with the upscale options at Scottsdale Fashion Square (hello, YSL and Gucci!), and the shops in Old Town are also really fun. Be sure to check out the cute homewares at Market by Modern Nest.
