- 45Shanghai Lil's Bar & LoungePonsonbyI've always been a fan of Shanghai Lils but forgot how good is was until a friends recent birthday. They pulled out all the stops, live piano by Billy. A wonderful drag act and a birthday cake! There was lots of dancing and Russell pulled out a few of his famous high kicks. The birthday girl had a ball and the venue went perfectly with her Great Gatsby theme.
- 528Q TheatreAuckland CentralI love this place. It really is a great venue with a great bar. I'm always pleased to see something here. Just saw the amazing ATC production of Anne Boelyn here. Auckland is lucky to have it!

Best Vintage Stores
- 15Deco 2 RetroNew LynnThis quirky retro store is in the middle of suburban Glen Eden and nestled beside cafe Humbug. Glen Eden can be a bit of a cultural desert so it's great to have this in the neigbourhood. I love looking through the collections of things.
- 27TangoAuckland CentralThis is the best vintage store in Auckland. The owner Driss Lambaraa has exquisite taste and everything in the store has been carefully handpicked by him. From my Frye boots to my original 1950's baby blue dress - I can thank Driss for many of the favourite things in my wardrobe. He has styled me for so many events I've lost count! He also has a great collection of furniture and art. It's a joy to spend time in his beautiful store.
- 33Aunty MavisAuckland CentralAunty Mavis is a cute little collectable and vintage store in St Kevins Arcade off K-Rd. It has a great range of all sorts of things from Crown Lynn, pottery, glass, vintage and retro items. And I love the name!
- 42The Vintage TableAucklandIf a 1950's danish side board is what you're after - this is the place to go! I discovered these guys on trade me but was thrilled to find they have a store on Dominion Rd. Beautifully restored mid century modern furniture.
- 52Vixen Vintage BoutiqueAuckland CentralA great vintage store in St Kevins Arcade. There is always an excellent range of cool retro gear combined with crazy outfits. It's always fun to shop here and the people that work there are really nice and helpful.

Holistic treatments
- 12Marise Henry AcupunctureGrey LynnI'm not a fan of botox but still want to keep my skin looking youthful. I was recommended Marise by a friend. She's great!

- 22City Chinese Health Centre ClinicAuckland CentralAda Lee is a tiny lady who gives the most wonderfully firm massages. She is certainly the strongest massage therapist I've been to. I've seen her twice and she's made a massive difference. A must for anyone sitting in front of a computer all day. Love her!

- 48Aroha LoveGrey LynnI first heard about Rosana's incredible healing massages from a friend. I went and tried one myself. She was amazing and just the thing I needed. I'm now attending a Reiki Share group every month which I love! It really is a sanctuary for healing. Awesome space too!
- 52Holistic Medical Centre - Grey LynnGrey LynnSo nice to find a medical centre that combines the best of western medicine with an holistic approach. The doctors at this clinic look at what is causing your illness as opposed to treating the symptoms.
