And I’m so glad the festivities exceeded your expectations, you deserve to be celebrated!</p> <p>Suz, Kathleen, Nicole, Andrea, Sharan - It was such a treat spending this sunny Saturday celebrating with you.You are all such kind, supportive and - of course - stylish women.

(Of course!) So I was the "runner." I'd rush down the aisles (sometimes with <b>Angie</b> ahead or following) and pick out as many pairs as I thought might meet <b>Inge</b>'s requirements as I could hold in my hands. Poor <b>Inge</b> must have tried 50 shoes before we found her pair. She worked hard for these shoes!! It was a lengthy process of elimination, but we triumphed!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabiversary-seattle-gathering-2#post-2411383 Sat, 25 Apr 2026 12:51:10 +0000 kkards 2411383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So so good! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabiversary-seattle-gathering-2#post-2411373 Sat, 25 Apr 2026 11:17:34 +0000 Dee 2411373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like an incredible day of fun, laughter and shopping, you fabbers all look ever so stylish too.

As <b>Inge </b>and I said, the best part is watching <b>Angie</b> magically help everyone find what they didn’t know was perfect for them until — voila! — she pointed it out. </p> <p>On my phone so will say more tomorrow when able. For now I will just add that it was such a delight to meet so many FAB Fabbers!! And that every one of these women is a gem. Doing important and meaningful work in the world, building strong relationships, having a lot of fun, AND doing it in style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabiversary-seattle-gathering-2#post-2411360 Sat, 25 Apr 2026 03:17:36 +0000 Lisa 2411360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fabulous day! It's wonderful that so many YLFers were able to attend throughout the two weeks. A magical moment and the memories will last a lifetime. YLF is truly a special place, and these gatherings are proof of that. So fab and fun!</p> <p>Nice to see a peak of some of the goodies everyone browsed and potentially purchased, I look forward to the individual posts for more details.</p> <p>And how lovely to see the new pearl jeans already being put in their paces <b>Angie</b>. They are superb! And the new sweatshirts are such fun wardrobe additions!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabiversary-seattle-gathering-2#post-2411350 Sat, 25 Apr 2026 02:45:39 +0000 Vicki 2411350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many smiles and so many more YLF women I want to meet! These photos are FANTASTIC and it was a joy to see everyone gathered having such a wonderful time. I loved seeing the clothes and shoes people found and Angie it was so cool to see you in your pearl jeans. Remind me again how you found them; was it someone who spotted these beauties at Bloomingdale’s? Angie, you have created an extraordinary community here! Attending one of these is indescribable and the sweet memories last forever! Thank you for sharing the good times with all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabiversary-seattle-gathering-2#post-2411348 Sat, 25 Apr 2026 02:40:09 +0000 Brooklyn 2411348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like another fabulous day.

Very special! Thanks for the kind compliments! Yes, pic #26 makes me laugh Do you remember what we were talking about? It evoked a similar reaction. And #29 is fabulous!</p> <p><b>LJP,</b> that's fab <b>Kathleen</b> in pic #14! And I'd bet you'd enjoy Clare V. The clothes are GREAT, and the collabs are meaningful. I find their handbags overpriced - (you can get a Furla, Coach, or Kate Spade for the same price and they are superior quality bags) - although great at sale prices, though. I'd buy them on sale! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabiversary-seattle-gathering-2#post-2411338 Sat, 25 Apr 2026 01:18:06 +0000 Angie 2411338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sal,</b> thanks for the sweet words!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sharan</b>! Woooohoooo! Your awfully gracious words make me relive the magic of the day - and two weeks - all over again! Touching. Glad you're returning the shoes sooner rather than later. You've have a KILLER shopping year!</p> <p><b>Kyle,</b> you were missed! Although our quality 3 days together before the gathering was sublime :)</p> <p><b>Debbie</b>, thanks for the touching sweet words! We missed you terribly, and love that you sooo wanted to come - but had to cancel last minute due to a family emergency. I'll be here when you visit Seattle soon :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabiversary-seattle-gathering-2#post-2411335 Sat, 25 Apr 2026 01:08:28 +0000 Irina 2411335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab day you all had!
