Here’s something to know about Tracee Ellis Ross: When she loves something, she really loves it. She’s been wearing the same Asics sneakers since high school (“I have about 14 different pairs of the Gel Kayano. I have so many different colorways and one of my favorite things to do when I can’t sleep is Google Asics Gel Kayano collabs. That’s how I’ve gotten some of my best ones”), and she’s been wearing her favorite white T-shirt since she snuck it onto Girlfriends (“they’re the perfect length when you tuck them in your jeans. I buy extra larges and XXLs to sleep in, and then smalls, mediums, and larges for different things”). Plus it’s a rare “Celebrity Shopping” column where over half the items mentioned are under $50. Read the whole thing here.

What Senior Editor Hilary Reid Has Her Eye On

July Testing Report: Buck Mason’s Newest V-Neck and a Plastic-Free Rice Cooker

1. Archies Flip-Flops: Like several other Strategist staffers, my feed has been completely flooded with Archies flip-flops content. I have to say I was already a little intrigued, but after reading Bella's glowing review of them I'm sold.

2. PlanetBox Square Glass Food Storage 6-Piece Set: I've been meaning to swap out our Pyrex glass storage containers that have plastic lids to containers with fully glass lids, and these look like a strong contender.

3. Left On Friday Fast Track Suit: The U-neck of this one-piece is appealing.
