I’m not sure how cold it is for you this time of year, but here in Minneapolis it’s sooo super chilly. Cozy socks are a necessity around here ;] The Sock Drawer is filled with super adorable socks {this is my fav}, including fun prints like coffee mugs, rainbow hearts, even striped toe socks. I love the dozens of designs Brooke carries — she even has sock monkey ornaments ♥ Love!
