What the Strategist Editors Bought in October

Photo-Illustration: The Strategist; Photos: Retailers

The open tabs of a Strategist writer are a controlled chaos of wants, needs, and (of course) story research. Here’s everything we actually bought in October: Ailbhe Malone bought this very nice waterproof trench from Alexa Chung’s Barbour collection; Dominique Pariso picked up this scented terra-cotta pomegranate in Italy; Hilary Reid finally got on the snail-mucin train; and many of us bought new sweaters (Emma Wartzman got this one from the Gap, and Kelsie Schrader took advantage of sales at Banana Republic and J.Crew).

Also on the site: Beauty writer Kitty Guo dug up the best makeup gifts for the makeup obsessed; and Arielle Avila rounded up all the best new stuff this week, including Ganni x Barbour and Areaware x Graza.

A screenshot from Jeremy Rellosa’s week of run commuting; the highlighted words are “I catch up to him, tell him I’m working on a run-commuting story, and ask him about the bag. He tells me it’s the Tracksmith Olmsted Pack and says it hugs his back better with more things in it rather than empty. Interesting.”

Can’t stop thinking about this bit from Jeremy’s run commuting story yesterday. (And yes, he was influenced by this person on the bridge and tested out the backpack himself later in the week … read the rest here.)
