#TFCmovestoLondon

I thought I would share with you the good, the bad, and the overall confusing things I will need to get use to now that I live in London.

My biggest surprise was the "mind the gap" and "look right/left" notices on the floor. Although I just might have found them crazy in the start, I am now very happy they are there. Seriously the traffic never stops and the gaps are definitely ready to take anyone prisoner.  The rows upon rows of nearly identical houses are both charming and confusing. One can easily get lost is a see of similarity. But I do love how people play with colour to differentiate their house from their next door neighbour.

British food is an acquired taste but they do love their snacks and boy do I need to be careful when walking down the chocolate/sweets/biscuits and cake aisles. The nice thing about London - and yes I am still in the food department - is that brunches are never far away, and they are always a treat. It's nice to see the restaurants buzzing with people, and food.

Then there is Primark and Topshop which are a nice change amongst the Zaras and the H&Ms, but I am sure I will get tired of them soon. Then again, there is a new shop to discover  just around every corner. Finally, London's markets are just fantastic. Great for a bargain and unique pieces, or just to grab a quick bite to eat.

Karl Lagerfeld x Coca Light

Summer has arrived, and diet Coke has taken yet another stylish step into fashion this Spring "by announcing its second fashion collaboration with international creative genius, Karl Lagerfeld. The world-renowned designer will create not one but three new and exclusive designs for the iconic Diet Coke aluminium bottle." The lovely people at Coca Cola were nice enough to send little old me the limited edition box set of the three bottles of Coca Cola Light designed by Karl Lagerfeld. Otherwise know as the 'Diet Coke Limited Edition Collection by Karl Lagerfeld'.

"Using the light and playful elements of his identifiable trademark style, such as graphic cuts, a contrasting black and white palette and clean lines broken with colour or detailing -- Karl Lagerfeld has created a bold, contemporary yet instantly recognisable collection." There is very little diet, that with this collaboration, Coca Cola has yet again proved to the world that it is the master of branding (and even re-branding something that is already as recognisable as Coca Cola).

I thought this gift was very fitting for me, especially in this period of Thesis writing and exams. And as I don't drink coffe, Diet Coka has been my go-to drink for the last seven years.What are your thoughts on the bottles? and even the project itself?

For those of you living in Belgium, this bottles will be available individually of in the box set, the 28 Mai at l'Inno and in June at Kinepolis during the Ladies@The Movies nights.
