A few of my favorite things : Monday Linkups with the Blended Blog
Must have booties for fall/winter A year and a half ago as part of her recommendations for the Nordstrom Yearly Sale, Audrey from Putting me Together recommended these Franco Sarto granite booties.

A few weeks ago, I started thinking about who I am and that is how Chez Mireille: fashion, travel, mom started. I am happily married to my husband of 16 years and we have four boys ages 12, 8, 5 and 18 months. Having spent my childhood in the south of France and my last 2 years of high school in Mexico City, I have developed a love of traveling. Since our wedding, my husband and I have traveled to Mexico (honeymoon),…
