Happy birthday, Janet Sounds like you had a wonderful day planned (YUM to fresh steamed crab, my favorite!!). Your posts are always full of beauty, your well-tuned eye is present in everything you select for yourself and in your comments to others. Even though it probably doesn't show, I feel a huge kindred spirit with the way you approach your rock-n-roll look without the typical heavy black and smoke (I do the same, but it seems to come across completely differently on me); I also totally resonate with your photo style -- the types of interesting macro shots you see, the abstracts you find in landscape; I'm drawn to the same things when I take photographs (and looking at anything, really), though I don't do it professionally. I'm so glad you're part of the forum, and hope that I get a chance to meet you in person sooner rather than later <3

Happy birthday Janet!

I hope that you have had such a happy birthday Janet! I am so enjoying getting to know you better. You have such wonderful style and your kind spirit shines through all that you say! I look forward to knowing you better and following your journey. Thank you for sharing yourself with us...

Happy Birthday Janet

Dear Janet, I hope your birthday is awesome, just as you are. I have vivid memories of meeting you at the 2011 meetup in NYC...thank you so much for being a beautiful and generous lovely lady. Enjoy your special day!

Happy Birthday Janet! I love your jacket post and can't wait to see more.

Happy birthday, lovely Janet!

Happy birthday to you! I always enjoy reading your K/R posts because you have a fine sense of what works for you and what doesn't. I always learn from your analysis.

Happy birthday! Hope you had a wonderful day. Your posts are always a visual treat.

Oh, thank you everyone! It was such a lovely day -- very relaxed and I got to spend it with my hubs, which makes it special. All of the wonderful wishes from you all just made it that much more FAB! I appreciate each and every one of your lovely wishes.

Late to the party here but sending you birthday wishes all the same! You've had a fab look from the start but it's gotten even better lately.

Happy birthday Janet! I hope you know what a treasured member of YLF you are - everything said here in this thread is nothing but true! You're a beauty inside and out, and your style inspires me constantly. XOXO

Happy Birthday Janet! We need to have a DC meetup soon and we can toast to you properly. I hope you enjoy your day!

I'm dreadfully late to the party-(((
But happy belated birthday from me as well, Janet. I second every single word that has been written on this thread, and I continue to feel inspired by the way your creative spirit shines through in everything you do (from putting together refined rock 'n' roll outfits that always feel 'so Janet', to your stunning photography, and the way you approach fashion and life).

The relaxed birthday dinner with sweet hubs sounds marvelous (and that steamed crab, yum:-) I hope you felt spoilt and celebrated, and that this upcoming year will be filled with everything that feeds your soul and makes you happy.

Happy, Happy to you most wonderful Janet. I know I am late but better late......

Janet, I am so glad I didn't miss this thread, though I am shamefully late! Everything Angie says is true, and then some. It was such a pleasure to meet and spend time with you in Boston. You are even more beautiful in person than in your photos! You are a true artist through and through and we are privileged to see your amazing style in this forum!

Happy birthday Janet! I love your refined rock and roll style! Hope you have a wonderful birthday!
