An inside look at what online shopping experts buy 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 for 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 August.
$55 at Nordstrom Buy Maxine Builder, managing editor Best Made Co. Spare Parts Trays My best score of the month happened on a random walk through Williamsburg, where my boyfriend and I stumbled upon a Best Made “surplus sale.” I’m a sucker for their heavily designed, industrial-rustic aesthetic and some good 22-gauge steel, so I felt like we had won the lottery. I nabbed this three-piece set of trays in red for $18, which is an unheard-of 69 percent off the regular price of $58.
$20 at Williams Sonoma Buy Chloe Anello, junior writer Thom Browne TB-906 Glasses To preface this purchase, I should say that I never used to wear my glasses. I’ve owned many frames over the years, and even did the whole Warby Parker thing, too, but for the longest time glasses were a strictly utilitarian item I’d reach for on those “I’m a mess” days, rather than a stylish, statement-making accessory.
$11 for 5 at Amazon Buy $11 for 5 at Amazon Buy Hakuhodo Brass Ball Incense Holder A couple hauls ago, I mentioned buying some Astier de Villate incense, but what I failed to mention at the time was that my “incense holder” was a balled-up piece of aluminum foil. I’d been on the hunt for something more respectable ever since, and found this brass ball holder at Dimes Market.
$100 at Charleston Shoe Co. Buy Lane Eight Trainer Ad 1 $67 I’m sensing a major pink theme with my latest haul. I bought these trainers from Lane Eight after reading Dominique Pariso’s story on the next status gym shoe. I needed a pair of sneakers for my at-home workouts, mostly because I didn’t want to wear dirty shoes inside. These turned out to be perfect for my needs — they’re snug and have just the right amount of bounce for my plyometrics-based exercises.
$9 at Amazon Buy $9 at Amazon Buy Working by Robert A. Caro, Audiobook $25 The best thing I bought this month is most definitely the audiobook of Robert Caro’s Working. First off, Working is great for those who maybe never got around to finishing the Power Broker and have found the Lyndon Johnsons too overwhelming to even begin to take on, as it gives a brief overview of Caro’s biographies in the context of how he went about doing his painstaking research.
$369 at Article Buy Jenna Milliner-Waddell, junior writer Grew Power Shampoo $20 at Mika English Buy Grew Restore Deep Conditioner $25 at Mika English Buy I don’t often get my hair professionally done, but when I do, I go to Mika English at Ursula Stephen The Salon. She gets all the product build-up out of my hair with her own shampoo and conditioner system, GREW by M.E., which leaves my locks cleaner than I ever knew they could be.
