This amazing property is referred to as the "Jewel of the Desert" situated in the heart of Phoenix, AZ. Since 1929, accommodating U.S. presidents and legendary film stars, the luxury resort currently boasts eight swimming pools and two championship golf courses amid 39 acres. It's stunning architecture was designed by the famous American architect Frank LLoyd Wright. The Biltmore "Sprites". These original architecture sculptures were designed by Frank LLoyd Wright in 1914 to stand guard over Chicago's Midway Gardens. These same Sprites, meaning fairy or elf, now grace the grounds of the Arizona Biltmore Resort. Having spent many years working in the hotel industry, I have a passionate curiosity for interesting properties around the world. The Arizona Biltmore Resort is no exception. We enjoyed a lazy afternoon, sipping wine, overlooking the lush gardens of the hotel, watching their guests come and go, and the scenic beauty of the Camelback Mountain Range beyond the golf course. It was idyllic.
The transition into fall is a slow process in Arizona, so I wore an off the shoulder blouse by Topshop from Nordstrom. It had the feel of fall with it's autumnal floral colors on a black background, bell sleeves and a light-weight silky feel. The black coated skinny jeans are by Citizans of Humanity, (similar here) and the clutch bag is Vince Camuto. (Similar here). I love this bag, because it's big enough to fit a substantial amount of girl stuff, and when you need to be hands free, it has a handy gold link chain shoulder strap, plus it has the leather coated bear claw charm giving it an edgy feel. The booties are Via Spiga and are my favorite new purchase this fall, they just seem to go with everything, plus they're "walk all day" comfy to boot! Love Karen xox
