GET COZY at F21, GET WARM at H&M, and STAY WARM at 80's

You may not be aware of this, but all your favorite fashion companies take a lot of time, and put in a lot of effort to try to come up with the best eye-catching, money-grabbing, make-you-wanna-buy ad campaigns every season (and sometimes even in between seasons). Trust me, I've been there. Trying to come up with clever, borderline cheesy slogans isn't as easy as you think. 

So as I was online window shopping the past couple days, I noticed a little blip with a few of the more major companies and their F/W campaigns. Maybe great minds think alike. Maybe they just ran out of ideas. Maybe they decided to join forces to get the universal message out: GO SHOPPING.

You be the judge.

GET COZY @ FOREVER21.COM

GET WARM @ H&M

STAY WARM @ 80SPURPLE.COM

have a happy weekend! 

p.s. this is probably the BEST time to go xmas shopping before the holiday madness at the mall -- so listen to f21, hm, and 80s...go shopping!
