This is our sixth American Thanksgiving celebration and it’s become one of my favourite holidays. Spending the day reflecting back on the things that you’re thankful for is a wonderful tradition.
The person who I am most thankful for is my better half, Greg, who makes every aspect of my world a better place. His generosity, wisdom and hard work know no bounds.
I’d also like to thank YLF’er Michelle who joined our forum this year. Michelle is a journalist living and working in Toronto, Canada. She has been blind since infancy but that never stopped her verve, passion, sense of humour and gusto to live life to its fullest with her indispensable guide dogs McClure and Reva. Trust me, Michelle has enough positive energy and stamina for us all. She’s super stylish and about as gracious as it gets. A force to be reckoned with.
Michelle, I can’t adequately express how humbled I am that you chose YLF to be your style and fashion eyes. Your trust in us has made my year and from the bottom of heart I thank you for being a truly fabulous role model.
Last, but certainly not least, I’m very thankful to you, the youlookfab.com reader. I’m often taken aback by the thoughtful comments that you write on this blog. Your intelligence, compassion and wit shines through, adding to the value of our site. You inspire me to continue.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Of course, life wouldn’t be the same without these two precious little creatures. Jasmine and Rosie send extra thanks to you and all the animals that have enriched your life over the last year.

Happy Thanksgiving Angie and Greg! I am thankful for you both and the wonderful community you have created here on YLF. I know it’s an incredible amount of work, and you guys consistently hit it out of the park with your new features and updates. I’m also grateful for all the support and advice you give (for free!) your readers, both on the blog and on the forum. Thank you, so much!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Being a Brit, Thanksgiving is not celebrated but I love the history and symbolism of this holiday. I am thankful everyday for my loving family but in the spirit of the day I would like to thank both Greg and Angie for their hard work and dedication to YLF and it’s readers.
Michelle you are an Angel, I am blessed to know you and you have changed my perception of disability. I now see the ability before the disability.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Angie and Greg! I am incredibly grateful that I stumbled upon YLF one lazy summer day (thanks Google!). In just a few months you have helped me increase my style confidence tremendously. Last Thanksgiving I would not have been dressed as well as I will be this Thanksgiving, nor would I have half the confidence that I do now. YLF changes people’s lives. It’s not just a fashion blog and forum — you surpass that without question. YLF is an absolutely amazing collection of wise relatable women, actionable advice, and a safe haven. Thank you for all you do to make our lives so much better.
Michelle – I am SO thankful that I have met you as well. You and I just click and you inspire me tremendously. I can’t wait for the day that we can meet and go on a plus size shopping spree. It will happen one day!
I am also thankful for all the beautiful doggies that grace the pages of YLF.

Angie, I’m beyond touched at your unbelievably kind words, but your thoughtful reflections are among the least of the many things I want to thank you for. You and Greg provide us all with not just fashion guideance, but with a community of incredible people who all work together to bolster each other’s confidence and enrich each other’s lives. These are gifts that can’t be truly repaid, but I hope you both know exactly how much your efforts are appreciated. Have an incredible day, both of you, and thank you so much for everything!
P.S. McClure and Reva appreciate the shoutout and send wags to Rosie and Jasmine.

And very thankful to both of you, for this forum…. and keeping us fashionably updated…what a state of confusion we would be without your expert and thoughtful and sincere guidance
The Girls look VERY happy and healthy:)

Thank-you for everything. I haven’t been a member for very long but have always felt welcomed. I feel that in the few months I’ve been a member I have increased my style quotient and I know I will continue to do so.
Michelle-You are an inspiration and someone to be admired. I’m so thankful that our paths have crossed on this forum.
