From East to West

January 6, 2016 by Emily 5 Comments

My dad spends part of the year in Arizona now, meaning our Christmas week has a forecast of 75° and sunny, right?

LOL jokes.

Our family carries this cold-weather curse around with us, so it was a balmy 37° when we arrived in Phoenix. While Boston was experiencing a record-breaking 66° Christmas Eve.

But God said let there be light, and at least there was enough sun over our few days out west than we’ll see in New England for the next three months, so enough with my complaining!

I’ve become a huge coffee drinker over the past few years, but I can’t resist an adorable tea room. These are shots from English Rose Tea Room, which I stumbled upon while visiting Carefree, Arizona, and has become known as the finest tearoom in the Southwest.

As usual, I’m always on the hunt for more tearooms to visit. I’m back in New England now, so send more local suggestions my way! xx

We were chit chatting about red carpet-worthy Free People gowns yesterday, but here’s one of my favorite everyday looks from the store. Worn to the rodeo out west on my family’s trip earlier this month, cowgirl boots and all.
