brandy melville haul 🛒 📦 𐙚｡⋆𖦹.+ new location!!

I was beyond excited when I heard about the first-ever Brandy Melville location opening in Michigan, right in Ann Arbor! As a local, it felt like a long-awaited moment. When I visited about a week after opening, it was buzzing with energy. If you're planning a trip, prepare for a lively atmosphere, but don't worry – the store is actually quite spacious, definitely larger than several other Brandy Melvilles I've explored. It felt well-stocked and organized, which is always a plus. For anyone searching 'Brandy Melville near me' in Michigan, this Ann Arbor spot is truly a must-visit. Just a friendly tip: parking in Ann Arbor can be a bit tricky, so allow extra time or look up parking options beforehand. And always double-check their current operating hours online, especially for new stores. Now, let's talk about the haul! I couldn't resist grabbing some classic Brandy essentials. The Sandra top was at the top of my list, and I picked it up in both navy and white. As someone who loves versatile pieces, this ribbed camisole top with thin straps and a drawstring detail is a wardrobe staple. The navy is absolutely perfect – completely opaque and feels lovely against the skin. For the white Sandra top, I'd suggest pairing it with a nude bra or a light camisole underneath, as it does tend to be a bit sheer, which is common with lighter 100% cotton knits from Brandy Melville. It's a small note, but worth mentioning for those who prefer more coverage! I also added the Halie basic top to my collection because, honestly, you can never have too many white tees. This simple white short-sleeved crew neck t-shirt is incredibly soft and perfect for layering or wearing on its own for a casual look. It's exactly what I look for in a basic – comfortable, versatile, and made from 100% cotton. One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back to Brandy Melville is their unbeatable prices for 100% cotton items. It’s rare to find such quality at these price points. While I have noticed that some of their knits have become a bit thinner in recent years, making a few items slightly more transparent, it doesn't deter me. You can still find amazing pieces that offer fantastic value. The key is to choose darker colors if sheerness is a concern, or simply plan to layer. To keep your Brandy Melville haul looking its best, remember to follow the care instructions. Gentle washing and air drying can significantly extend the life of these delicate cotton garments. Happy shopping, Michigan! And keep an eye out for those unique Ann Arbor branded items, like the "ANN ARBOR" shirt I spotted!
