Happy Birthday Ornella! I am in awe of your graceful style and amazingly thoughtful and detailed posts, complete with summary take-away lessons and links referencing your prior posts. You should write a textbook on style! We are so lucky to have you on this forum! Hope you had a great day today!

Happy Birthday, hope you had a wonderful day!

Happy, happy (belated) birthday, Ornella! I hope you had a day that was relaxing, refreshing, and renewing! It always such a joy to see you pop in here

Happy birthday dear !! have a nice time ahead and enjoy your day .

A very happy belated birthday! Many wonderful returns (to this day - not returns to the department store).

My dear YLF sisters

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding time to write your kind messages. You truly, truly give another dimension to my birthday (or, birthday festivities, as I call this period - *winking at Claire*).
You make this place special and I am truly happy to share it with you all. This is the best laboratory of personal growth, as MaryK recently called it, and every day I am at awe at how small, subtle transformations of our appearances have such strong effects that reach so much further.

This is the birthday when I turned 40. Four-O! My mantra was and still is "Turning 40 and feeling fabulous". I actually got addicted to YLF at the time of Angie's 40th birthday, so that one is very important blog post and milestone for me. From then on this place - and you - helped me find myself in many ways. And best of all, you helped me learn to love and appreciate other women even more. So, thank you for that too. It's a privilege to be part of this place.

I have turned 40 and I do feel fabulous

Ornella wishing you a very happy birthday. 40 is indeed fab.. And so are you xxx

Happy birthday, fab Ornella! Forties are going to be a wonderful decade for you.

Welcome to the fabulous 40s! Hope you will like it here and many many good wishes for the year ahead.

Happy Birthday, Ornella!

Happy (belated) Birthday and all the best!

Happy Birthday, I hope it was a fun day!

Wow I could only hope to be as sophisticated as you when I turn 40!!
I hope you are enjoying your birthday festivities. I have been enjoying reading about your change in country, in addition to your fashion posts.

Ah! The BIG 4-0!! See. You didn't turn into a pumpkin

Welcome to the 40's club. It rocks so I have no doubt that you will have the time of your life!

Wishing you a very happy birthday!
