I've loved this aesthetic forever, it's so simple but cute and fun. I can't wait to get tan during summer.

>>171294Love these pants!
>>171292I bought a few Brandy Melville clothes for the first time, and now I'm waiting for it to be more "summer" to fake tan (just don't wanna be tan too early). But then again, I live in Florida so it shouldn't be too weird.

>>171324But the beauty of fake tan is that it's temporary
You can easily go back to bring a pretty pale princess

>>171313I dunno, I see all these photos and it reminds me of either an American Apparel, H&M, Urban Outfitters, Topshop or Dorothy Perkins catalogue.
I'm not shitting on that fashion if you guys love it, it can be cute at times… but it's just not my thing.

>>171319I beg to differ, if you mean "fake tanning" as in being on a sunbed, it's very safe if you actually have a salon who knows what the fuck they're advising.
For instance, I've been to one that has had a lady telling people who are very pale not to use them more than 3 minutes at a time until they build up a base tan, that can take over a month. Then go up to 6 minutes for another month, then finally 9 mins for the last month and they look nice and toasty as fuck… I guess what I'm getting at is that if you're careful, take care of your skin and don't go mental with it - it's safe.
I've been to tanning places that don't give a fuck how long you're on for and that's dangerous as hell, no advice on after care or even preparation… but if you are in the know, it's perfectly safe… you should be slathering on a high SPF in the sunshine when going outside anyway.

>>171331I'm not sure what you don't understand. Tanning especially in "sun beds" is EXTREMELY dangerous. There is no "safe way" to do it, you are still getting all of that sun damage.
You still have a much higher chance of skin cancer, you still have sun damage, you still will experience the physical aspects of sun damage (which builds up over time) such as spots/freckles/wrinkles/etc.
Anyways, the whole "base tan" to "provide protection" is a total myth.
>Avid Leffell, the chief of dermatologic surgery and cutaneous oncology at Yale University School of Medicine, is “completely meaningless” in terms of providing protection. (talking about "base tans")
>Recent estimates suggest indoor tanning causes about 419,000 cases of skin cancer in the U.S. every year, which is almost double the number of cases of lung cancer linked to smoking
> UVA is often chosen for tanning beds because its longer wavelength penetrates deeper into the skin and is less likely to cause sunburn. The body will readily redistribute its existing melanin in response to UVA exposure—which results in immediate skin darkening—but UVB rays are better at triggering several more long-term protective mechanisms in response to cellular damage. Tanning beds are even more dangerous than "regular" sun exposure
You have a right to do whatever you want, tan or not tan. But you should know the truth behind tanning you know?

Tanning is a really bad habit and tanning in a sunbed is the worst thing you could do to your skin, please stop doing this shit.

I agree, OP. This aesthetic is very cute and casual. Brandy Melville clothing is super adorable. I don't see why a pale girl couldn't pull this look off unless you're super set on going for the california thing. A lot of their models are pale. Tanning lotion is a pain in the ass because it gets everywhere and is really hard to apply evenly on the skin without spots being darker than others. I knew one girl who applied it perfectly to her face and it looked lovely though!

I decided to post this in two threads (the brandy Melville one and skin care one) as it relevant to both. I'm pretty white and used a self tanner. I used it only on my legs and you can see my natural skin tone on my face/upper body. I will use it everywhere today but took this pic to show you guys how it looks. I used ST.MORITZ tanning mouse in dark, got it from Amazon for 6 bucks a bottle with free shipping (although they sell it at ulta for 12 a bottle if you want). I love the way it looks (plus you get a tan with no sun damage!). Sorry for retarded pose I am a midget so I cannot get my legs/face in same pic as I have no full body mirror.

>>171287Is OP's pic an actual BM ad? I'm amazed that they cast the girl on the far left, she seems like a more high fashion face than I'd anticipate for Abercrombie & Fitch: The Sequel
Anyway I think BM's branding is pretty astute but I still think it's disgusting and they're ultimately making the same mistake that A&F made, which is making exclusion be the crux of their brand.
No. 171343
>>171341yes it is. I think she fits tbh.
And nah, I don't mind the exclusion part. If someone can't fit into these clothes they should just shop another brand. Anyways, A&F has way more sizes/inclusion for larger sizes so idk what you mean anyways. BM only has one size
No. 171345
>>171344It's not expired lol, it's a product that is actually from England so it's much cheaper to purchase from an English vendor vs an over priced US retailer like ULTA. Anyways it's FAKE tanning so I'm not baking in the sun. I wear sunscreen all over my body everyday.
>>171340Thanks
