What everyone has said and more! All the very best to you Deborah on your special day!

Deb, in somewhat of a rush, but you are such a stylish, fun, interesting, caring and cool person. I hope you have/had a wonderful birthday.

Wishing you lots of love and happiness on your birthday, Deborah!

Happy birthday! I hope you had a spectacular day!

I cannot tell you how lovely it was to wake up to this beautiful post this morning. I have shed a few happy tears and am so grateful for the friendships and interactions we share here on YLF.

Because it's my birthday I hope you will indulge a little philosophical musing:) I have found through life that we seem to share an innate desire to be accepted and to 'fit' and 'belong' somewhere and YLF has become one of those places for me. My family, and even I, joke about my 'addiction' to YLF but this morning I realised that it's not an 'addiction', it's a commitment to an ongoing relationship and friendship with a community of women who, as we get to know one another, share not only a love of fashion and style, but support and encourage one another through the good times and the challenges we face.

Angie, I am blown way by your kind words, along with those of the Fab sisterhood:) I have a secret dream that one day we will hold a world wide YLF 'Meet Up", and Angie I would love to meet you one day. I keep looking for reasons and opportunties to travel to Seattle lol. Can't quite convince DH yet.

Thank you all so very much, its been a great birthday! xxx

Happy Birthday, Deborah! You know I'm a huge fan of your style and I love your outfit posts. I appreciate very much the time and thoughtfulness that go into your comments. You are so elegant and chic and refined - but with a twist that always seems to make your outfits very uniquely "you".

PS: Come to Seattle - pretty please? We'd all have SO much fun! xoxo

I hope you have a very happy birthday!

Happy birthday! I look forward to reading your WIW's and your well thought out explanations. And I so enjoy your forays in new style directions. Hope your birthday month will be fabulous!

Happy birthday! I love your modern style!

I'm late to the party, but I hope you've had an awesome day of celebrations!

I may not have a chance to comment on each of your posts, but I always make sure to check out your WIW's. You are always a sophisticated and arty inspiration. Your topper and shoe choices are swoon worthy. Luv how your minimum style delivers maximum FABNESS.

Happy birthday!

Happy B'day Deb! You desribe YLF 's impact on our lives so perfectly and it isn't an addiction it's supportive friendships...

Happy birthday, beautiful Deborah! The way you have perfected your Elegant Eclectic style has been a joy to watch and so inspiring. I don't know how I missed this thread earlier, but I hope your birthday was a wonderful day of celebration.

Dearest Deborah,

I do hope you had a lovely day. Your presence on the forum here is such a joy. Your lovely chic outfits topped by that gorgeous bob are a daily delight.

And you are my sister in our faith and my friend.

Last year DH applied for a job in Melbourne. All I could think about it was that I would be close enough to visit you!!!

And I love your words above about community too, So true

Happy Birthday, Deborah! I love your outfit posts, you have a fab sense of style and of who you are. I just read your comments above - how true they are! You are very thoughtful, introspective, and kind, yet I know you can be witty too. You made a comment once about Master9 writhing on the floor in hunger while you were on YLF that still gets me laughing!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Deborah!! I love that your WIWs always give me a dose of elegant sophistication

Hope your day is full of fun, family, and love!

Happy, happy birthday, Deborah! I enjoy your emphatic eclectic style and dramatic minimal palette. Inspirationsl! But your shining positive spirit is even more so.

Looking forward to hearing about your special day!
YES a worldwide YLF meet-up would would be FABULOUS, but as you so eloquently expressed it- I feel as though we DO 'meet-up' with each other each and every time we log-in to this amazing community.

You have such a flair for creating chic and interesting outfits. And your kindness is always evident in your thoughtful replies. You are truly a gem!
