Although I love my New York apartment pretty (very) often our landlord forgets to turn our hot water and heat on. Not too much of a problem in the blistering summer but when we got our first snow storm this October things got weird, and cold. To stay warm we boiled lots of hot water for tea, wore warm socks, multiple layers of clothing and stayed under wool blankets - all day. It started to remind me a lot of camping. When you wake up and you're freaking freezing and you have to hop around to stay warm while you change your clothes. I actually folded up my work clothes and put them under my five blankets to toast them up a little before I got out of PJs ( I sincerely thought about putting them in the microwave, is that a real thing?). I miss camping! So here are some lovely and cold campy things to keep you toasty and woodsy:

Socks glorious socks. These socks from Pact are made of organic cotton and were manufactured in a factory run on 100% wind power. I need, like, 100 pairs for the winter. The website says they are men's socks but I'm not sure what differentiates a male sock from a female sock. The rainbow pattern? I love you socks.
These are my girls camping. One October not too long ago we camped somewhere on the Appalachian trail ate marshmallows and photographed ferns.
