How Strategist editors shop for themselves and their families
Photo: Courtesy of the retailers If you follow our biweekly feature Your Shopping Cart, you know that we have some eerily good intel on what you all are buying. Which led us to think that, as Strategist editors, we could turn the tables and highlight all the things we’ve been buying ourselves. As you’ll notice, it’s both a blessing and a curse to be a Strategist editor; we’re picky, but sometimes we just have to get on with it . Below, what we all bought in June.
$55 at REI Buy Chaco Z/1 Classic USA, Steal Your Face $118 Speaking of the right mood, I bought a pair of Chacos. More specifically, Grateful Dead-themed Chacos. The official color is “Steal Your Face.” I have no regrets. $64 at Madewell Buy with code: FIREWORK Anthony Rotunno, senior editor BuildLife 1 Gallon Water Bottle Technically, I did not buy the vaguely threatening one-gallon water jug that writer Caroline Goldfarb, the meme queen behind Instagram’s @OfficialSeanPenn, recently told us about. It was actually my husband, but we share the same bank account, thus we share everything.
$85 at Urban Outfitters Buy On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong $16 I’ve been trying to build up a reserve of books to read on the beach this summer. After I read Jia Tolentino’s review of this lyrical novel from literary wunderkind Ocean Vuong, I bought it immediately. I’m happy to report that the hype was correct: This book is indeed a stunner.
$50 at Catbird Buy Muji Travel Wallet I’d been using a very beat-up orange neoprene pouch that I got at Joe Fresh in 2011 as a wallet, and it was getting embarrassing. So, I “upgraded” to this $15 nylon Muji one, which is also a little embarrassing — I should really just buy a leather wallet — but is extremely lightweight and fits in my smallest bags.
$6 at Macy's Buy Jenna Milliner-Waddell, junior writer Levi's Mile High Super Skinny Jeans $74 Shopping for jeans is one of my earliest and most frequent nightmares, so when I walked into Aritzia a few weeks ago I didn’t expect to find anything, especially not a life-changing pair of denim pants. I was surprised to find a selection of Levi’s, and I was floored when I tried them on and there was no gap in the waist. I obviously had to buy them.
$79 at Amazon Buy $79 at Amazon Buy Anou Beni Ourain Rug We moved into a new house in February, but we’re still furnishing it because neither of us is particularly skilled at interior design or decisive when it comes to big purchases like furniture. One thing we did get a jump on was rugs because choosing a couple seemed less daunting than trying to find an armchair, for whatever reason. Just like everybody else, I love Moroccan rugs, as ubiquitous as they are.
$65 at Zappos Buy Katy Schneider, associate editor Eckhaus Latta Wide Leg Jean Natural $203 I’ve been looking for white-but-not-too-white pants for months and months now, and finally found the perfect pair — on sale! — at Eckhaus Latta. I love them so much I’ve been hanging them in my closet instead of folding them in my drawer with the rest of my loser pants.
$140 at HOPP Buy Zara Plaid Soft Feel Hat $10 Full disclosure: This purchase was collateral damage from a time when I was innocently showing my coworker some Zara men’s bathing suits for a story he was writing . It’s a man’s hat which I hope means it will fit my head loosely. I like how it feels like a thing you might find at a suburban Goodwill. I’ll wear it with an all black bathing suit to the beach this summer.
