Current Obsessions: London Fog

Last week we focused on offices, closets, all things storage (see last week’s Get Organized issue). This week we’re ready for something new, so we’re scoping out London Design Week; we’ll be featuring new hotels and restaurants in London as well as designers who will be showing their work at upcoming events.

• Margaret Howell has just opened a new shop for her utility workwear brand MHL on New Cavendish Street in Marylebone. Wasting no time, Christine was one of the first to visit on the lookout for this season’s essential item to accompany her favorite MHL dress .
• Alexa has been admiring works by Danish artist Eske Rex, like the exhibitio Measuring Space shown in Copenhagen last year.
• Thinking of an exterior overhaul? See a list of architects’ top 10 exterior white paints on Gardenista this week.
