It is ALWAYS warm inside Hollister Co.'s vintage surfshop inspired stores. Good lord can it get stuffy...even in the summer (blame it on the intense lights). But what ever, it gets the whole SoCal vibe going!!! Part of staying warm and cozy during the chilly nights of wintertime in southern California is hanging with the crew on the beach - sitting around a bonfire (crackling ever nicely) and wrapped around in a comfy plaid blanket (and maybe around someone hot as well!).
HCo has just the perfect blankets for the occasion, all thrown over its wonderfully comfortable leather seats! You know what I am talking about. The patterned blankets on the seats in the lounge room in front of the cash wrap. Sooo awesome are these blankets, and of great quality...they are Pendleton blankets. Leave it to A&F to choose only Pendleton (esteeped all-American heritage, and recently featured in Vogue) to supply the blankets and throws for its HCo stores. The styles that are displayed in HCo stores are not available from Pendleton anymore, but the brand others other great looks that I recommend you check out! (This one is particularly nice!) Go ahead and purchase one. Use it as part of your room's decor to give it more of a Hollister look, or spray it with SoCal fragrance and wrap it around yourself next time you're under the SoCal stars...
