In college, your room becomes a retreat from daily excursions and stressors. If you’re
looking for a way to elevate the coziness in contrast to the chilly weather, I highly
recommend giving Lola Blankets a glance.
You may have seen these blankets around. Their motto, “Life-Changing Softness”, is an
apt description–ever since my mom got her Lola Original, there’s been competition in
the house for who gets to the couch first to claim it. The brand’s story is touching, too.
Founded by two brothers in 2021 to honor their mom, who passed away from breast
cancer and found great comfort in her fur blanket, the brand has gone on to receive over
35,000 five-star reviews.
Lola consistently presents charming new collections, too. The limited edition Lola x
LoveShackFancy collaboration, for example, features the delicate Rosy Bows and Petal
Pink prints–the perfect additions to a more feminine, romantic room. For more soft
pinks, check out the Huntsman Collection.
The Westward Collection features dusky earth-tones for a more understated space. You
can also pair the blankets with Lola’s plush pillows, which come in square and lumbar
shapes of different measurements. The Neutrals Collection has varied shades that will
match any preexisting decor.
If your pets are anything like mine, they’ll certainly be eager to cozy up in the blanket. If
you’re not a dogs-on-the-couch kind of family, Lola also has a collection of adorable
Bubble Pet Beds. My family has a Shih-Tzu turning 17 this December, so this will be
topping her birthday gift list.
Evidence suggests weighted blankets may be an appropriate tool to relieve some
symptoms of anxiety. With the weight of balancing academics, extracurriculars,
internships, health, and your social network as a college student, picking up a Lola
weighted blanket may be ideal.
There is just something so special about this time of year, where the foliage begins to
shift but we still get to enjoy warm days lazing on the Main Green. One of my favorite
moments this fall has been huddling up on my friend’s couch to watch Gilmore Girls for
the first time. If that sounds appealing to you, I’d definitely pair it with a warm Lola
Blanket (plus a mug of apple cider or the Nitro Bar’s seasonal Pumpkin Spice Float
Latte…). And if you’re looking for a discount, since the price is undeniably steep, you can
