You are a fantastic community, one I've been lucky to be a part of (for over 4 years now!) no matter what part of the world I am in! You make me feel loved, appreciated and included. Many thanks!<br /> I feel incredibly lucky to share my birthday with two stylish forum members, Claire and Nancy. I was lucky enough to meet Mochi in person and I've been admiring Claire's style online. Happy birthday my birthday triplets!!!!<br /> I just want to mention that I did not delete my blog. I've been too busy to post and frankly a bit embarrassed that one of my colleagues or students might find about it.:) I turned the settings to private. If I can start taking pictures and posting again, I will make sure to let you know.<br /> Big smiles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-claire-nancy-bella/page/2#post-794095 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 03:05:00 +0000 Sarah A 794095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A very happy birthday to all three of you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-claire-nancy-bella/page/2#post-794072 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 02:18:50 +0000 Vicki 794072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday to three fabulous women, two of whom I've met and one I hope to meet someday! Wishing you so many levels of amazing, Claire, Nancy and Bella!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-claire-nancy-bella/page/2#post-793956 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:02:07 +0000 Mochi 793956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, thank you, everyone. This is about the best present I can get. I'm so lucky to have found this community. </p> <p>Feeling a bit tired from the past few days so I am sorry that I'm inevitably leaving most of you out of personal acknowledgements, but understand that everyone's words touched my heart. </p> <p>Claire, happy birthday, twin! You happened to be one of the first women I "met" here and it's been nothing but a pleasure reading your posts and witnessing your sublime style unfold. You are truly a genius when it comes to finding treasures at rock-bottom prices. I don't know how you do it. And your generosity shows in how you participate here, and give so willingly your time and expertise at Dress For Success. </p> <p>I also say it will be the world's loss if you don't end up writing a book or a column with all your hysterical insights. You are a fantastic writer and storyteller. Don't ever feel like you're just an ordinary person with nothing interesting to say. The adventures (or shenanigans, as my hubs would call them) describe are pure gold. I really hope and also assume that someday soon we will meet....maybe along with Suz....the three of us would create some mischief as we shop, I can just see it. </p> <p>Bella, I have been lucky enough to meet last year and yes, you are one uber-stylish woman. I have seen your blog and you epitomize modern chic and an interesting, eclectic style that does not stick with formula. You embrace all sorts of experiments and brilliantly make it all work. I also am always a champion of shorter, dark-haired women who make style work for them. I also hope you have settled happily into your life back home, but that we have a chance to meet up again. </p> <p>Manidipa, I'll just say that you always have something really insightful and affirming to say about each member. Thank you. I make a conscious effort not to be a yes (wo)man, just because I want my praise to mean something. Not that my opinion carries any particular weight, but that's what is important to me. I always worry about whether I'm being tactful or not, and apologize to any of you if it hasn't always been the case. </p> <p>Angie, thank you for being unbelievably generous and kind to all of us here. We are all in your debt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-claire-nancy-bella/page/2#post-793955 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 23:57:33 +0000 Mona 793955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday, lovely ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-claire-nancy-bella/page/2#post-793948 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 23:49:25 +0000 CocoLion 793948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so privileged to know all three of you through YLF.

Happy birthday!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-claire-nancy-bella#post-793657 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 17:57:07 +0000 Lisa 793657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Birthday YLF triplets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-claire-nancy-bella#post-793593 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 16:31:36 +0000 ManidipaM 793593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa! Triplets on YLF! How very, very fab!</p> <p>Unsurprisingly, ladies, you share that special something that warms the cockles of the most faraway observer's (or reader's) hearts and draws them in with both wit and wisdom. Thank you for making YLF even more of a special place to gather.</p> <p>Bella, hope all's swell and stylish in your new life. Miss your fab style challenges so much. You were one of my first YLF forum style icons. And along with huge big birthday wishes, I owe you a special 'thank you' --- I found YLF one fine day while browsing for wardrobe remixing ideas and stumbling on a post by you.</p> <p>Mochi, I don't think I've encountered another YLFer who sounds quite so much like a warm blanketing hug even at her most forthright and blunt and critical. Your eloquence and tact epitomise some of the best qualities of the forum as a whole. And your style amidst the many challenges life's thrown at you this last year has been a source of inspiration and optimism. May you rule with fortitude in Sturm and Drang in the year ahead. </p> <p>Claire, another of my first heroes on YLF, for your clean, sharp, chic style in my favourite hues of white and blue, as well as for your cheerful approach to thrifting and 'making do' with flair. Indeed, the very phrase 'making do' should appear abashed when faced with your talent for DIY --- you take it to a fine art enjoyable for its own sake, no sticky, sore necessity. I beam from ear to ear on those special days when I see a 'novel' from you appear on the forum --- it's my cue to grab a cup of tea and look forward to a very happy hour or two getting tangled in yet another smile-starting, chuckle-inducing yarn that usually turns into a very thoughtful thread as other stories weave themselves through yours. May your special day and the year ahead be full of the joy, hope and fortitude you bring to so many of us, on YLF and on DFS and elsewhere, in measures as many as the people you bring a smile to.</p> <p>Many happy returns, times three, to you stylish, generous ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-claire-nancy-bella#post-793590 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 16:27:54 +0000 RunnerChick 793590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happiest of birthdays to a triumfeminate of stylish women! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-claire-nancy-bella#post-793587 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 16:23:24 +0000 Kristin L 793587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday Claire, Mochi and Bella! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-claire-nancy-bella#post-793572 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 15:58:50 +0000 Amy 793572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clearly this is a special day!

I also have to thank you for your lovely comments and support, you are so generous and kind. Plus, best of all, you rock my son's favorite color like nobody's business and I think of you every time I see fab blue clothes around me!!! You look like a model and are quite a role model.</p> <p>Nancy, your kindness shines through your every word. I love reading your musings, your WIWs, but best of all - I love seeing your lovely, gentle smile which makes me think every time what a warm soul must be hidden behind it.</p> <p>Bella bellissima, we've both announced our life-changing events and move around the same time and I often think of you and hope you've settled in your old-new life well. I miss seeing you around here more often, your remixing was one of the first thorough inspirations to make the most of my wardrobe, and I can't even begin to say what Picture Perfect challenges did to push me outside my comfort zone. I know you keep an eye on the happenings here, but how about some new challenge sometime soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-claire-nancy-bella#post-793390 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 07:20:36 +0000 rae 793390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a fashionable day in history!

Your sense of humor combined with your elegant style and killer bod just knock my socks off continuously! You are my debt-free mentor and my DIY soul sista'!</p> <p>Nancy, I'm so glad to have met you in person and shared two whole car rides across city lines. I am just giddy watching your romantic style evolve!</p> <p>Bella, your challenges have caught fire here on the forum! It is a real YLF trend now. You always organized killer ones, too, and some of them have inspired favorite outfits that I'd never have put together without you. You Rule, Queen Remix! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-claire-nancy-bella#post-793387 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 07:09:16 +0000 catgirl 793387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a trio!
