The Ritz-Carlton is located on the west side of Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle district right in the heart of shopping heaven providing easy access to business and entertainment hub that is Bukit Bintang. What we love about staying at the Ritz is the extra attention to detail and excellent guest services which include your very own personal butler to take care of everything for you. Where else can you enjoy top class service at a fraction of the cost of a night’s stay in a Ritz in Europe?

If you’re in the mood to splurge, the Ritz-Carlton offers a High Performance package for the coming Formula 1 from April 1-5, 2010 that includes tickets for 3 days to the races positioned at the starting grid and access to the pit lane. The package includes a stay at their Executive- Deluxe room, limousine pick-up to and from Sepang Circuit, an amenity hamper with gourmet sandwiches to enjoy yourself at the circuit, and even cocktail drinks on the Saturday evening!

MiuMiu takes inspiration from the animal world this Spring, injecting playfulness with a series of bags featuring cut-out animal shapes like swallows, cat and nude figures. There’s a definite arts and craft feel to this collection; however, Miu Miu lends a sophisticated touch by using satin fabrics and leather cut aways. Naïve prints in graphic styles combining pastel shades of blue, pink and yellow on black give a delightfully lighthearted feel to these purses.

The black leather bag and striped yellow and black clutch with cut-out sparrows are stand out pieces, while the cat print on satin clutch is simply adorable.

How Much?

• Yellow and black strip clutch with cut-out swallow, HK$10,950

Spring 2010 is officially here and this season, our attention was piqued by the newest addition to the Kristin Collection – the Kristin Leather Hobo. The Kristin Hobo is just the bag to tote to your spring and summer adventures, a perfect mix of functionality but with Spring’s relaxed vibe.

Made from soft leather, it’s light, simple and sophisticated with 2 different straps to carry as a messenger bag or on your shoulder. Another functional detail we love is the generous pocket in the front clasped by a classy metal closure. The Kristin hobo comes in 4 delicious colors – chalk, indigo, melon and camel, making it oh-so-perfect for the coming sunny months.
