Overpriced extravaganzas might be cancelling for lack of interest, as many people opt for a more personal celebration of the most eventful New Year's Eve in a thousand years. But, whether we're meeting friends, cocooning at home with family, or making a romantic toast to a significant other, who doesn't want to make the event memorable?

Women are finding an easy way to look special and add glamour by adding just a touch of fur to any outfit, if brisk fur accessory sales are any indication.

After all, who doesn't need to fend off the chill? Just slip a little something over your shoulders.

And if you're snuggling in front of a fire somewhere, share! Fur blankets are softer than any bearskin rug, and they're quietly becoming the must-have status item with fur-lovers who don't want to leave that feeling of sensual luxury in the coat closet.

Of course, if you must be seen in a major way this Eve2K, pull out all the stops. How about a Versace pink mink scarf, or a sexy beaded fur halter top? For less flashy, uptown girls, demure handmuffs and matching neck cuffs speak volumes about understated luxury that winks ironically at tradition.
