DISCOVERING INSPIRATION, BEAUTY, AND COMMUNITY IN THE DESERT OASIS

Why Taylor Loves Scottsdale

I love Scottsdale because it still feels like a small town with a metropolitan, big-city vibe. I love the diversity of restaurants and shopping in nice walkable areas. I love the weather and I especially love the dry heat – the best time of year to come is in the Spring and Fall.
