Unveiling the Best of Prime Day: Editor's Curated Selections

Diane von Fürstenberg

Fashion designer and author, best known for the wrap dress and her writings on style and female empowerment.

As a seasoned online shopper, my approach to Prime Day transcends mere discounts. It's an opportunity to acquire items I've long desired or to replenish my essential supplies. This year's Prime Big Deal Days are primarily focused on restocking my favored beauty products and wardrobe necessities. Additionally, I'll be exploring potential investments in high-value kitchen or household items if the price reduction is substantial enough.

Elevate Your Lifestyle with Smart Prime Day Choices

Curated Prime Day Picks: Strategic Shopping Insights from Our Editors

While I always keep an eye on Amazon's flash sales, my core strategy for Prime Day revolves around a carefully curated wish list. This method helps me monitor prices and sidestep impulsive buys, ensuring that every purchase is deliberate and beneficial.

Indulge in Self-Care: Libby Page's Top Beauty and Fashion Restocks

Libby Page, our global executive shopping director, focuses on self-care. She stocks up on her favorite hair and scalp products, replenishes skincare and body essentials from brands like Nécessaire, and grabs oversized menswear pieces for post-routine comfort. Her strategy is to over-stock during sales to avoid frequent re-purchases, ensuring a continuous supply of her beloved items.

Everyday Necessities: Talia Abbas's Last-Minute Haul Philosophy

Talia Abbas, our shopping director, admits to a last-minute approach for essential items. While she prefers in-person shopping for small necessities, the allure of Prime Day deals combined with rapid delivery makes it irresistible for urgent restocks. Her focus is on practical, everyday items that unexpectedly run out.

Transform Your Living Space: Kasey Busiel's Home Refresh

Kasey Busiel, marketing & production manager for shopping, sees Prime Day as the perfect occasion to upgrade her living space. With a renewed apartment lease, she's targeting home essentials that have been postponed, along with decorative accents to infuse a fresh and cozy ambiance into her home.

Wellness Wonders: Andrea Zendejas's Holistic Approach

Andrea Zendejas, our shopping market editor, dedicates her Prime Day to wellness. She plans to upgrade her air purifier, invest in luxurious Boll & Branch bedsheets for enhanced sleep, and acquire a new Kindle for reading. She's also keen to experiment with the Anua Gua Sha Cream, a product she's been eager to try.

Wardrobe Refresh: Minty Mellon's Fashion Essentials

Minty Mellon, another shopping market editor, takes a proactive stance on wardrobe essentials. She aims to replenish her collection of crisp white t-shirts, replace frequently misplaced sunglasses, and stock up on her preferred toothpaste. For her, Prime Day is about efficient bulk buying of necessities at a reduced price.

Apothecary Staples: Fred Sahai's Skincare and Reading List

Fred Sahai, associate commerce producer, uses Prime Day to stock up on trusted French pharmacy products from Bioderma and Klorane, alongside a new topical retinoid for his skincare regimen. He's also refreshing his silk pillowcases and finally buying a pink Kindle, embracing both comfort and leisure.

Minimalist Beauty Buys: Madeline Fass's Skincare and Lip Care

Madeline Fass, fashion market director for shopping, maintains a minimalist beauty routine. She focuses on achieving hydrated, natural-looking skin and seeks deals on her favorite Saie glowy gel and Nécessaire lip balm to keep her essentials stocked and glowing.

Household Basics: Elly Leavitt's Practical and Aesthetic Choices

Elly Leavitt, lifestyle shopping editor, views Prime Day as a chance to stock up on home and beauty essentials, as well as explore new items. Her list includes Korres' Pure Greek Olive line, a second cheesecloth for kitchen tasks, and an abundance of candles for entertaining, reflecting her philosophy that one can never have too many.
