And YES, LACeleste is truly one of a kind. &nbsp;</p> <p><b>Suz</b> :: white skirt is something I'll try this with as well. I actually think that full skirt of any kind would look great with this top, I especially can't get Neel's tulle skirt out of my head as an option. Black tulle for me... now that I have said it, or wrote it, I actually think I must get black tulle skirt somehow to try the two together.</p> <p><b>Claire</b> :: this is an old style much in need of the fresh trim. But&nbsp;I swiped the bags to the side a little bit, it's nice you noticed&nbsp;:-)</p> <p><b>MaryK</b> :: I'll just have to ask you to give LACeleste one extra hug for me when you see her. Do we have a deal ;-)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-long-overdue-thank-you-to-laceleste#post-1214055 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 15:46:03 +0000 annagybe 1214055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is stunning on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-long-overdue-thank-you-to-laceleste#post-1214053 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 15:45:23 +0000 MsMary 1214053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO FAB!!</p> <p>Ornella, you look gorgeous!&nbsp; And how appropriate that you, who are also a Noticer and Giver Extraordinaire, should be the recipient of such a lovely act of kindness.</p> <p>And LACeleste is just the best!&nbsp; I wish you could meet her in person because she is gorgeous and fun and just super awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-long-overdue-thank-you-to-laceleste#post-1214050 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 15:42:24 +0000 carter 1214050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

What a fantastic sweater, and you look lovely in it. That's your color for sure Ornella.

How very sweet of LACeleste. I must say when I opened up the photos of you I nearly fell off my chair at how wonderful you look Ornella. You glow and look like a gorgeous Hollywood star! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-long-overdue-thank-you-to-laceleste#post-1213941 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 12:06:47 +0000 Ornella 1213941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you'll all excuse&nbsp;me for not&nbsp;saying Thank You earlier, but today I have finally had enough time and good light to photograph the amazing top I received from LACeleste just before Christmas. I am a very, very lucky girl to have had two generous and thoughtful YLF Santas.</p> </p> <p>A few months ago a beautiful sparkly top in the most incredible shade of pomegranate red colour appeared on Style Exchange - it could have been perfect for me, except that it was too small. The lucky recipient of that one was Marley and she looks incredible in it, as you may have <i><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pomegranates-on-ice---what-do-you-think-shout-out-to-laceleste">seen</a></i>.</p> </p> <p>But, that was not the end of the story. LACeleste, who previously owned the red top, contacted me some time later, offering to send me the lovely cardigan she also had on Style Exchange at the time. I won’t go into too many details, I’ll just say that I was looking forward to it and even bought the hose to wear with it.</p> </p> <p>Fast forward a coupe of weeks, when the parcel arrived I was quite surprised that the cardigan felt rather heavy. Little did I know that inside the parcel was not the cardigan - but the top just like one that one from Style Exchange. You know that line: the photos don’t do it justice. Well, they don’t. It’s one of the most beautiful things I have ever owned and it reaffirms how I want to feel in the things I wear - Happy. The workmanship and the details are incredible, but what gives it its true value is the story behind it which LACeleste shared privately. I am so incredibly honoured by her generosity that I had to reread that story a few times.&nbsp;</p> </p> <p>I have not worn it out yet, but know for sure where I want to wear it when the occasion arises. And I want to wear it with as simple support act as possible (styled here with my dressy black pants) so it can take the centre stage.</p> </p> <p><b>LACeleste</b> -- finally --&nbsp;to your and your wonderful, charming&nbsp;<b>Noticer</b> whose beautiful personality led to making other women happy, a warm and heartfelt and huge, huge&nbsp;<b>THANK YOU</b>.</p>
