Happy Birthday Angie!

Oh my - if it is Natalie's birthday it must be your birthday too!

Angie, I will start this but I hope someone will better express how much you mean to me, and to all of us. You are a never ending font of wisdom, kindness, warmth, understanding, flexibility, tolerance, generosity and beauty. And that is just to start. You and Greg have created the warmest, most incredible community here and there are just no words in my vocabulary to express how much it has meant to me. I am getting too emotional to go on.

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday Angie! I hope that you are spoiled beyond belief.

Dear Angie,

Thank you so much for your patience and guidance over the years - it has meant so much to me that you were able to help me tame my style, as well as introduce me to so many strong and influential women who also looked fab!

<3 Much love!

Happy birthday, darling Angie! I am so happy that your birthday is today and NAS madness starts tomorrow so you can celebrate in peace together with Greg and Rosie and your friends.
You are one of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life. Your parents named you very well because your kindness and compassion are truly angelic ... and like an angel you are omnipresent: I am always amazed how you find time and energy to reply for virtually every post here, to provide your advice to all who asks for it, to remember so many things about hundreds of forum members - and all this on top of working with your clients and doing everything else!
I know you will be spoiled on your special day by everyone around you because you deserve it like nobody else! I also wish for Rosie to give you many-many doggy kisses today and tomorrow and for years to come!
These flowers are for you - jasmine and roses...
Love
Sveta

Happy Birthday Angie!

While I don't post pictures or participate as much as I'd like - I wanted to be sure to thank you for all that you do here at YLF. You have no idea how far-reaching your posts and comments are. I don't worry (as much) about getting older, I don't worry so much about the fact that my body isn't perfect after losing a whole bunch of weight, I don't worry (any more) about the fact that I have little veins on my legs.

You're not just a fashion stylist - you're someone who makes people of all ages, sizes and shapes feel beautiful. This is your true legacy - making people feel good about themselves while also being able to have fun with style.

I hope you have a wonderful birthday - tons of cake, the best tea and all kinds of love from your friends and family. Sure hope you're spoiled rotten!

Thanks for reaching out and making such a difference - you make so many people feel better about themselves, while also encouraging a sense of style in an incredibly fun and enjoyable way.

Just as an aside - what's your favourite kind of cake? Just curious.

Once again, Happy Birthday Angie! Hope you're totally spoiled - because you definitely deserve it

Dear Angie, wishing you a very happy birthday:) Not only are you a truly styish creature, you are kind, warm, inclusive and generous. You are without doubt the most gifted and intuitive stylist I have every encountered, and your understanding and appreciation of the individual is one of the things that I believe make you just so good at what you do. I trust you enjoy some tea and cake with your loved ones and are spoilt beyond what is reasonable:) You have become a dear friend, not only to me I'm sure, but to all the amazing Fabbers here. Have a wonderful day and may the coming year be full of blessing. xxx

Sweet Angie,

I hope you feel all the love coming your way through these words from everyone

Your kind spirit, humility, generosity, and energy amaze me. You give of yourself so freely to so many, both IRL and on this forum. Through your guidance and acceptance, we have all grown not only stylistically but IMHO, as women and as human beings.

And of course, there's your KILLER style

Feel celebrated on your special day, surrounded by the love from Greg and Rosie. And I know Jasmine is looking down and sending you sweet puppy kisses.

Thanks for being YOU,
xoxo

Angie, it's your birthday? How wonderful, I hope it was as fabulous as you are! Thank you for this wonderful forum, which has not only taught me about fashion but also introduced me to so many female heroes when I had none before. This is such a special place, and I know that is because it is an extension of your strength, poise, intelligence, sense of humor, and style. You shine every day, and I look up to you more with each passing day.
XOXO

Dear Angie,
Happy birthday to my birthday twin and fashion fairy godmother! I've said this before, but YLF has changed my life and given me a huge style and confidence boost. And I have you and all the fabulous YLF community to thank for it. I love your killer style and inspirational outfits. You are a wise teacher and I love how you break fashion down into understandable principles and concepts to make it easy for us to put into practice. I really appreciate your enthusiasm and unflagging willingness to help us with our endless questions and K/R's, and your encouragement and kindness. I don't know how you have the time to do everything you do here on top of your work as a stylist! I hope I can meet you in person someday! Hope you can take tomorrow and enjoy yourself with Greg and Rosie (and Jasmine looking down from above)!
XOXO,
Natalie

Everyone, and especially VC, has said all I wanted to say! All I have to add is my deepest appreciation and gratitude---for the person you so decidedly (pun intended) are and my awesome luck at happening upon YLF.

You are one of best things that happened to me in 2011! And you kept right on making 2012 a fun and manageable year at a challenging phase in the closet.

I want to share something here today that was too embarrassing to mention at the time but it fits the context. Someone said soon after I had the baby that I had never dressed better in all the years she's known me as a close friend than when I was pregnant. Now, it's an embarrassing compliment partly because so OTT--I'm not a patch on the likes of Natalie or Scarlet--and partly because it says more about just how bad I used to be than how well I was doing! But it did affirm that I was doing something right, in however small a way, and was moving along noticeably. For which I have to thank you ever so much. Not only for your generous inputs both via your blog and by way of personalised help on various threads, but also for making YLF the way it is...

Happy, happy birthday, Angie!

And now I'm curious---what's your preferred tea?

Happy Birthday, Angie! You are an inspiration! It's as simple as that. A real snappy dresser too

How could I've been here 3 years and only now realize that you and my father share a birthday?! Well I shall remember your birthday from now on!

Well, I've been here for 3 years and all I can say is that everything about you is KILLER! Right away I was drawn to your blog because of your daily posts to help us understand and develop our own personal style. You not only give us expert advice, but you ask simple questions to get us to start thinking about what appeals to each of us. Then when you started to show your own looks, I was inspired by your sophisticated yet approachable style. Plus your smile and beautiful accent is irresistible.

Happy birthday, dear Angie. I hope your day is filled with as much kindness, friendship, fun, and joy that you give to us. XOXO

Angie Happy Birthday. I just saw this in the last 15 mins of your special day. And to think that even on your birthday you are on YLF commenting & helping us all. I am not surprised though. You are always on YLF helping us all. Well we are blessed that you were born so this day is as much a celebration for me as it is you. Where would my style be without YLF & you Angie? You are so generous & wise & compassionate & fun & stylish. I hope you had a fun day & I hope we get to see any fashion gifts you may have received.

Dear Angie

For teaching us and showing us every single day that a little bit of magic inside does wonders on the outside;

For always putting inner beauty before outer appearance;

For appreciating every single person for what they are and making us want to be better;

For knowing us all so well and for writing the most heartfelt birthday wishes;

For making sure there is space here for everyone - that alone is beyond admirable;

For being a true lady in every situation imaginable, for never losing your composure and for handling things around here with the utmost respect;

For showing us that despite everything and in the world as it is success and grace don't exclude each other - but can go together hand in hand;

Thank you.

You are an inspiration in more ways than you can imagine.

Birthdays are great excuses to share our thoughts, but I hope you know deep inside every single day how much (what) you and Greg (have created here) mean(s) to all of us.

Happy birthday *** big hug ***

Dear Angie, happy, happy birthday and all the best for you, Greg and Rosie! I am so grateful for the YLF community, not just because of the fashion and style journeys we embark on, but most of all for the supporting, friendly, open-minded and warm-hearted community you & Greg have created. You shine through in every post.

When it comes to fashion & style, I have developed more confidence and more insight in this world that seemed so far away from me when I joined. And it is all because of you, your kind and thoughtful comments, your simple yet spot-on questions and the embracing of diversity and beauty inside and outside.

Happy birthday!
