You don’t have to read the site for long to realize that my lifestyle is a far cry from domesticity: I don’t own drinking glasses that aren’t intended for wine, champagne or coffee, my fridge contains nothing more than gin and butter at any given time, and most of my cookware hasn’t been used in the two years I’ve lived in my apartment.
Nevertheless, as I was poking around the ‘Lifestyle’ section of Farfetch.com, I began to ask myself the age-old question: “What is this stuff and why don’t I have it!?”
For example, why haven’t I heard of the Chanel Vintage wine bottle holder yet? Must only vintage bottles be placed in the vintage holder? If a bottle survives the weekend in my apartment without being consumed, surely that makes it vintage, right?

Also, in what situation might I need to use a Squirrel Snuffer by Chehoma? To buzz in the Fresh Direct delivery guy? To torment my roommate’s pet? Regardless, I’ll take three.

Knick-knacks are the epitome of settled-in, domestic life. Buying a knick-knack is like saying, “Hey, I don’t plan on moving ever,” because who the hell wants to pack those things up when you get bored of your apartment and want to move across town? If your significant other starts purchasing useless little trinkets, you better run – and quick. There is nothing more suffocating than a knick-knack gifter.
With this in mind, I stumbled upon a collection of small Lanvin statuettes, completely shattering all of my preconceived notions. Uncharacteristically whimsical and surprisingly irreverent, these particular porcelain figures said something else that I hadn’t anticipated: “Buy me!”

I’m sorry, little Lanvin dolls. It’s just that… this is getting a little too serious. It’s not you, it’s me. I’m not ready to throw in the Hermes towel just yet. But, um, maybe I’ll text you sometime…
