Bella UK and I have been partying all night so we're off soothing our tired feet, but we wanted to wish you a very Happy New Year! We hope that 2009 is a wonderful year for all of you lovely Fab Sugar UK readers and thank you very much for all your support in our first year. We hope you've enjoyed all of the
news,
celebrity style and
trend alerts, and we look forward to bringing you more in 2009.

Happy New Year!!
I had a fantastic time in 2008 reading all your comments and opinions on the site, and I wanted to thank you all for your fantastic contributions since we launched PopSugarUK last February!
Stay tuned in 2009 for all the celebrity news and pictures, movie trailers, music videos, fun quizzes, polls, guess whos, reviews, interviews and so much more!

Yesterday I told you about
five fab things to look forward to in 2009 but here are five fab things to see in 2009. With this much warning you should be able to check out all five.

We are mere days away from the new year and whilst we're reminiscing about 2008 lets also think about the good things that are still to come in 2009! I've rounded up five fab things to look forward to next year so click below and get ready for a whole new world of fashion.

There are
plenty of sales going on this year with Selfridges
reportedly taking £1 million in it's first hour of sales trading! Despite this there are still plenty of bargains to be found and just in time for that New Years party. The
net-a-porter sale started on 27th December offering designer bargains by the likes of Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs and Roberto Cavalli.

Although the female members of the royal family showed off an array of hats on Christmas Day, all eyes were on Prince William's new facial hair:
do you prefer him clean shaven or bearded? They gathered for a service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, and while Autumn Phillips and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie all chose low key headgear, Zara Phillips made a more daring choice with her magenta number:
do you love or hate it? As so many of us are feeling the affects of the credit crunch, the Queen has reportedly
shelved plans to buy a £7million private jet because it would be a "PR disaster". In her
annual televised speech, the Queen spoke about how this Christmas is "a more somber occasion for many", but added that the courageous would be "all the more determined to struggle for a better future".
You've still got time to vote for Wills or Harry as
your favourite British male of 2008! You can also take a look back at
a year in the life of the Princes.

Earlier this week I asked you
which fashion items were on your Christmas wish list, but now that the holidays have passed, did you get what you wished for?

credit crunch sales have been brought forward and many discounted items were available before Christmas. Here is a quick round up of some of the best online sales for you to peruse.
