It is really hard to choose a highlight from the past week, it has been full of them.

Could it be the plans afoot for The A List Highlife party for June 26th at Auckland most luxurious location, The Wharf?

Queen Mary 2 will be in Auckland on the 4th March, which will be thrilling enough, however what makes this extra special is that Trelise Cooper is having a fashion show on board that day to VIP's and guests.

The Champagne has not stopped flowing since Thursday night.

Down at Sale St, at their now famous Black and Bling party, Moet was certainly tipple of the night with iced buckets of Champagne being bought at a record pace.

Heaps on this week, and after a very busy one last week, its full steam ahead until at least till end of March.

Top Gear live kicks off on Thursday. I will be covering that, then straight to Sale St for their always popular Black and Bling Party. This will be a great party, the last one was a blast but you must RSVP to get in.

There were two big awards ceremonies in Auckland last week, Frank Casey suit hire must have made a fortune. It's good to see people dress up for the big nights.

Good morning, the sun is shining, the kids are all back to school, and all is good in the world.

The invites are starting to pour into my in box and February is looking to be a very busy month, with March even busier.

The Quiksilver Junior world Surfing championships are running at Piha until the 28th of January, get down there if you can.

The surf is amazing at the moment and these are future world champions showing their skills at a beach near you.

Dashing home from a great holiday at Whangamata on Thursday I was looking down the barrel of a busy weekend. Friday was Big Day Out, always a favourite of mine, but a really tiring day.

I'm still on holiday but just thought I would show some pics from the festive season.

Hope you all had a great Xmas and awesome New Years, I certainly did. Still plenty more great days to come, Summer has just started... 

All the best for 2010

The end of the year is fast approaching and it has flown past.

It's been a great year for parties. Highlights have been the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series, Auckland Cup week, Air NZ Fashion week, Highlife Entertainment NYE at Matakana and one of my all time favourites, Fiesta del Sol at Stonyridge.
