Happy birthday, gorgeous. Hope you have a fantastic day!

Happy Birthday Rae! I always LOVE your WIW's and how you are able to make $1 finds look like a million bucks! Here's to a very fabulous birthday to you!!!

Thanks a million times over to everyone who chimed in with such kind words and birthday wishes - YLF sure knows how to kick off a gal's day right!

I'm so thankful to be a part of this kind, intelligent community that has really helped me appreciate and be the best version of myself - points that resonate even more on a day which marks advancing age. Many women dread birthdays, but I am happy to say that I feel super optimistic about looking and feeling fab always.

Thanks again for all your advice, wisdom support, and friendship. I cherish the memories of all the YLF meetups, and hope to meet more of you in the future!

I'm always late!
Happy birthday Rae!!!
We love your vibrant style and smile! Have a lovely day!

Happy Birthday, Rae! I admire how you are able to do polished workwear and uber-cool, rugged, tomboy-ish weekend wear with equal panache. Your thrifting skillz are amazing, your leather dyeing skillz fab, and you have a distinctive, *you* style that always comes through. You have an incredible smile--you seem so sparkly, smart, and ready to take on the world! I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

Happy birthday, Rae!!

A super birthday day to you!

Happy birthday, Rae! You are a joy to be friends with here on YLF and your amazing outfits and thoughtful responses always make me happy. Have a fabulous, wonderful day.

Hope you have a wonderful birthday. You are a very kind and thoughtful young woman.

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a lovely day.

Happy birthday Rae!!

I tremendously enjoy your outfit posts, you have this talent for always adding something a little unexpected, and I love your sense of adventure and the gusto with which you try new things (you always pull them off so very stylishly too!).

Hope hubby and the kitties are spoiling you rotten on your special day!

Happy birthday gorgeous Rae. You are one creative, inspirational and fun girl and I admire your spirit. You really are like Tarzy said in the LA get-togehter post - best friend's little sister. Adorable one too

Happy Birthday Rae. It's fun knowing you here on YLF.

Thanks, again, for the additional wishes. I had a super fun birthday being spoiled by coworkers, hubs, friends, and family. Had some great food, and I can't wait to get to work spending a li'l birthday money... hm, possibly a haircut? The best thing, though, was being surrounded by such fabulous company, in person and online - love you guys!!
