July’s anthro: in our own words newsletter is already here!! This month it’s devoted to the return of “Man Shops Globe,” the Sundance Channel show that follows Anthropologie buyer Keith Johnson to far-flung destinations without ever revealing how much he pays for anything.

This is a reminder that “Man Shops Globe” premieres tonight at 10 PM on the Sundance Channel. Follow along with head Anthropologie buyer Keith Johnson as he travels to France looking for the perfect items to decorate the first London store.
