Oh, Inge, you're such a rock, you rock, and you're punk rock! You hold our fort down here with such style and panache, and at the same time take us touring through the fashion webverse. It's quantum fashion magic

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday Inge!

Joyeux anniversaire Inge
(sorry -close;)
I love reading your outfit review. Here's to many more of both.

Happy Birthday, Inge! I love the outfits and blogs you find for us, and if only you could give us a lesson on how to attain your beautiful posture!

Happy birthday, Inge. You are appreciated every day - for your thoughtful input, steadfast enthusiasm and your willingness to answer questions as well as to help find options. I enjoy your varied selection of bloggers and the collaborative approach you bring to YLF.

Sending you best wishes for all that matters most this year!

Happy birthday, Inge! I hope you have had a very special day.

Wow, Angie has done you proud with every word she has written about your fabulous self...and I can say the every word is true as I'm thrilled to be amongst those who met you in Seattle! I'll never forget the lovely warm welcome and big hug I got from you in my hotel lobby on the day I arrived in Seattle I hope your special day is as wonderful as you are. Happy Birthday Inge!

Happy birthday, Inge! I hope your day is filled with fun and laughter! Your contributions on the blog are incredibly important for the overall fabulousness of YLF. I equally appreciate reading about various bloggers and the fun and interesting links you provide. Above all, your kind spirit shines through everything you write in the forum. I only wish I could see your fab style more often in WIWs!

Wishing you a very happy birthday, Inge. Thank you for all you do here.

WOW. Just WOW!!

I am smiling and tearing up at the same time reading all your beautiful wishes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your extremely kind words. I am a little speechless right now, but want you to know I consider this an amazing birthday present. THANK YOU!!

Angie! Ik bloos tot achter mijn oren (blushing all over). And your 'Ding Dong' made me hoot with laughter:-)) I don’t even know what to say, except that I’m deeply touched. Thank you__ I consider myself extremely lucky to have you as my very close friend, and am still pinching myself about getting to spend an entire month with you in Seattle. It was a dream come true. And it really is special and super fun that we have sooooo much in common, and get to share and chat and laugh and cry and support each other every day. That is beyond priceless to me.

And of course I am rooting for the Seahawks! Seattle is my second home now, so they are MY team too. Plus after having spent many a cosy TV night at the Cox Castle tucked under a Seahawks stadium blanket has only strengthened that bond;-) You bet I’ll be sending bucketloads of birthday luck to Seattle on Sunday (wish I could watch the game with you guys!).

Caro in Oz - Me too! We need to figure out a way to make this happen.

Elle H - Absolutely, we need to remedy that soon.

Kerry - *nodding*

Meredith - Thank you!

Laurie -Thanks so much for your sweet birthday wishes in Dutch. How brilliant!!-)

Suz - I know. I feel the same way, and was sad you couldn’t make it. We need another gathering asap, sweet lady. Here’s to the Urban Princes cavorting together very soon!-) (I appreciate your keeping my Seahawks alliance a secret, and my word, your vote is an absolute honour!).

Deb - Right back at you. I’m so glad I got to spend time with you.

Vicki - You are a schatje (sweetheart)! Thank you so much. I’m already looking forward to our next meet-up (because of course there will be a next time), and we’ll undoubtedly work in that dark chocolate somehow. (I just received a beautiful box filled with delicious Godiva truffles, and I wish I could share them with all of you over a cup of tea and lots of chatting).

Elly - You made me smile all over again.

Sharan - Thank you, sweet lady, it was so fabulous meeting you in Seattle!

LACeleste - And now I’m blushing again too, thank you! I am already looking forward to meeting you too.

Debbie - I count myself lucky to have YOU as my dear friend, Debbie, and still think back all the time to all the fun we had together in Seattle.

Joy - Your thoughtful and sweet words mean the world to me.

Sveta - And now I’m blushing again:-) Getting to spend time with you in Seattle was such a treat. We hit it off straightaway, it was as if we’d been irl friends all our lives. I start to smile again each time I think about it, and can’t wait to meet you again soon!

Gigi - It is my absolute pleasure!

Rachylou - You know how to make a woman feel extra special. “Quantum fashion magic” and “punk rock”. You just made my day!!

Archer - Oooh, French birthday wishes too. LOVE it!!

Ginkgo - What a wonderful compliment, thank you.

Eliza - Thank you so much for your appreciation and sweet wishes.

Diane - Thank you_ I am still completely bowled over by the fact that you flew all the way to Seattle to join us, and what a marvelous time we had, my word! Also: I think we should meet and hug again asap.

Ingunn - I so appreciate your kind words (and I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll really try to post a WIW more often).

Missvee, Anne, Merwoman, Shipskitty, Columbine, Marilyn, Elizabeth, ABC, Diana, Shevia, Sharon, Aziraphale, Gryffin, Adelfa, Lyn, Ruth, and Summer - Thank you all for the sweet wishes.

This is one huge treat to find on waking up on my birthday. Each and everyone of you have made my day. I feel very spoilt__

I am off to see the "My Name Is Paul Smith" exhibition, do some window shopping in Hasselt, and have dinner at a yet unknown to me restaurant this evening. I've already tasted one truffle, and I'm sure they're will be more sweet treats during the course of the day

I'll be sure to check in again on this thread as soon as I can.

Love to all,

Inge

Inge, I seem to be late to every birthday party lately - but here are my belated wishes. I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful, happy year for you. I feel truly blessed I was able to meet you and have brunch with you this fall. Your warm energy is something I think I still carry with me. Sending you a hug across the miles. xxxx

Happy Birthday, Inge! I enjoyed reading Angie's bday message to you. I know we have in common that we are both tall and therefore I always pay special attention to, and benefit from, any WIW's you post. Thank you for your enormous contribution to YLF, and have a terrific weekend and year! (I'm pleased to see how many fab women share with me the month of January as our birthday month!)

Happy Birthday, Inge! Wishing you all the best!

Many happy returns of the day, Inge! I hope your birthday is absolutely perfect! xoxo

Oh I'm late but it's still your birthday! Happy happy birthday, Inge! I hope to meet you one day. You are SO kind and supportive and calm on the forum and I thank you for that. Have a wonderful weekend!

Inge: I appreciate your gifts to the forum every week -- what a terrific and complementary partner you are to Angie and Greg!

May your day (and whole birthday weekend), be filled with warmth and joy, whether the celebrations planned are simple or elaborate.

Happy Birthday Inge! I hope you have the most marvelous day and a wonderful weekend filled with love and happiness.

Happy birthday Inge. Your posts and your presence in the forum are extremely appreciated.
You show us new bloggers, stimulate or imagination and our critical sense when we search and share links related to fashion, and we can always count on you when we are looking for some elusive wardrobe item.
thank you for being you and for keeping us company .
hope you have a wonderful birthday.

Dear sweet Inge, your kindness and enthusiasm for life and all things style-related shines through in every post, every comment and every email I am lucky enough to get from you. You are a steadfast friend and although I didn't get to meet you in 2014, I know we will meet one day and laugh and laugh together. As a fellow book lover, I wish you the very happiest of birthdays, which of course must include time curled up in a comfy chair up with a good book, cup of tea and slice of cake.

Here's to celebrating fabulous, amazing, giving, kind, loving YOU. Love always!
Laura

My pleasure sweet friend, and hope you're walking on clouds and having a beautiful day celebrating beautiful you. xo

I am late too to the party but wanted to say a very very Happy Birthday, and all the best for a wonderful year!

Best wishes on your belated birthday.

C - it's still only 8.40 pm here, so definitely still my birthday:-)

I will reply in more detail tomorrow but just quickly wanted to say thank you again. All your fab comments have kept me smiling all day!

I'm having a wonderful time. The exhibit was small-scale but a real visual treat. I celebrated with cake and Turkish apple tea this afternoon and am now off to what is said to be the best Italian restaurant in Hasselt. I'm very curious!-)

Checking in, checking in, 32 minutes before midnight! The happiest of birthdays Inge. Turkish Apple tea is one of my latest favourites too, how great is that.

Hope your day is spectacular and you will be reading happy wishes from
all of us for AT LEAST a week!
