1. Solid Gold Not sure if I am a big fan of this dress, which, as mentioned recently, has been done a bit to death, but then again it is VERY party New Year 2007. If you want to jump on the bandwagon (and you have the legs) you have our blessing. Dress, Euro105, River Island

2. Rich Bitch If someone special hasn't bought you a present yet, demand this metallic clutch bags from Jimmy Choo which instantly gives 'I'm SO loaded' kudos to your look. Who cares what else you wear to the party when all eyes are on your shiny wares? Bag, Euro600, Jimmy Choo at Harvey Nichols

3. Show your mettle Not just a knitwear brand best known for its zig-zagged stripes and floor length '70s dresses, Italian family label Missoni does fab shoes too. Like these cool party heels with bow. Give your feet a chance to do the talking for once. Heel with bow, Euro520, Missoni at Shag, Westbury Mall, Clarendon Street, Dublin 2 and Georges Street, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin

4. Gilt Trip Gold has long been a symbol of prosperity and wealth so it's no surprise that luxury goods brands such as Prada deliver the party goods. These gloves would make a very generous present, if you could bear to give them away that is.

Gloves, Euro180, Prada at Brown Thomas

5. Bronze Age These pretty ballet pumps may not be party shoestoppers (bad pun - sorry), but they will make you feel a little bit more glamorous than usual as you run around the house or pop over to the neighbours. Festive and fun without being in your face.

Bronze flats, Euro55, Clarks
