Whether you’re planning on hitting the town, throwing a party, or just enjoying a quiet evening with family and friends, we have put together a few blogs that will help you prepare for your 2009 New Year’s Eve festivities.

Hey Ladies

New Year’s Eve parties give all of us an excuse to get dressed up and get a little wild. Earlier in the week LollieShopping gave the ladies some tips on looking glamorous for the occasion in her post Looking Chic For New Year’s Eve. Here, you’ll find links to blogs that will show you where to find affordable NYE dresses, where to find eco-friendly fashion and where to find something special and sparkly for your year-end celebration.

For the Fellas

Most guys probably need a little more help than the ladies when it comes to looking good (i.e. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy). So, I’ve thrown together an assortment of blogs that can give you some NYE attire ideas and assist you in ringing in the new year in style. The first one just sounds like the obvious place to start. The Men’s Fashion Bible hits on everything from clothes to accessories and from everyday fashion to celebrity style. For instance, maybe this year you’ll be doing some casual clubbing. They’ve got you covered. Maybe you’re looking for a smarter look? Well, then check out their geek chic ideas. Or, maybe this is the year you bring your sexy back. Yup, they can even help with this.

Another site where you can get some fashion inspiration is The Urban Gentleman. Their Winter 09/10 Style Guide can help you find a good look whether your looking for something conservative, edgy or classic. If you need even more specific help, posts like the Guide to Dress Shirt Collars can assist you in finding the look that best suits you. And, if you just need help finding something to add a little extra sizzle to your outfit, well then from fedoras to pocket squares the accessories page has got you covered.

Feelin’ Bubbly

Champagne is a necessary part of any good NYE celebration. For advice on picking the best bubbly, head to a place where they love champagne. We Love Champagne is a regularly updated blog that provides readers with reviews as well as information about the people and the Houses currently putting out superior bubbly. If you need a little help picking out the best bottle for this year’s celebration, We Love Champagne is a great place to start.

Get Cookin’

Throwing a NYE party? Having some close friends and family over to celebrate? If so, then I’m sure you’ll be needing to feed them. This year, forget chips and dips. I say “go big or get out of the kitchen!” Actually, I don’t really ever say that, but it sounded good.

If you need a little help getting inspired to cook or you’re just looking for some new recipes, I suggest checking out Inspired Taste. Here you’ll find recipes for delicious appetizers like baked wonton cups and marinated swordfish skewers, main course ideas like Guiness burgers and chicken enchiladas, and dessert recipes like roasted pears or swirled chocolate bark. My favorite part of this site is the large pictures. Trust me…if you’re not hungry when you click through to this site, there’s a good chance you will be once you see these pictures.

Hair o’ the Dog

Finally, just because we know some of you are going to be hurtin come New Year’s Day, we found some info on hangover cures. Check out Just A Guy Thing to find which of the 4 most popular hangover cures works best.
