Sweet Diane, you are mega fabulous. I CAN"T BELIEVE YOU CAME TO THE SEATTLE GATHERING LAST YEAR. How privileged we were to have hugged and got to know each other a little better. You are even warmer, funnier, chattier and lovelier in person. HAPPY DAYS. Say we will meet up again. We had sooooo much fun together.

You’ve been part of this community for years and enrich it daily in your special way. But first things first - cheers to British ‘80s music. The best music of all. You and I are Duranie kindred spirits. Woohooo Birmingham.

I love your manners, Diane. You’re awfully polite, supportive, modest and positive. I so appreciate that you comment on every blog post, that you encourage other forum members, that you always say nice things, and are extremely diplomatic when you don’t fancy something. That’s stylish. You’re a lady. And the grace that comes from inside shines as brightly on the outside.

Your big brown eyes are gorgeously soulful and captivating. They are the first thing I see when I look at your outfits - and they are even more beautiful in person. Your best accessory for sure. Sophia Loren wished she looked as good as you. You ROCKED the YLF challenges this year. NYFW needs you in their front row at a major show.

We all wish that we had your killer sewing skills. You are SO talented. Who else on this forum can say that they make all their clothes (apart from Firecracker-Sharan). Unbelievable. We treasure that you share your talents with us and look forward to seeing more of your amazing creations. Your style is all the more killer because you make your wardrobe items yourself. Rock on, pretty lady,

Diane, you are a shining star who spreads her fabness here in bucket loads. Thanks for being kind spirited and just so very wonderful. We hope you celebrate the fabness of you on your special day. Show us what you wore with your new smart phone.

love Angie xo
