Darling Jaime, where do I begin with your insatiable fabness - both in spirit and in style. You’re a MEGA mensch - to put it into two words. And I WILL meet you in person one day.

Your killer Thrown Together Elegant Tomboy style is enviable and aspirational. You pair avant-garde with trends, a softness, lots of slouch, and a whole lot of thrifted sass. Your asymmetrical salt and pepper ‘do is amazing, and your brows as expressive as they come. Plus you are Queen Hat, my foot twin (along with Chicago Laura), and a fellow Cancerian. High five crab-style. It’s not easy creating a casual RATE style with busloads of effortless chic, a practical edge, and ladylike touch. Yet your innate elegance shines through from within, and your fashion sense is beautifully intuitive.

But it’s your charm, warmth, wit, impeccable manners, enchanting persona, playful attitude, and excellent energy that blow me away. Your gentle strength is captivating, and your moral support divine. I love that your endearing humility is laced with busloads of confidence. Your diplomacy, emotional intelligence and love for your kids comes through strongly on this forum, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. You are very kind, astute, patient, loyal and full of positive thoughts. You comment on every single blog post without fail, which does not go unnoticed. I appreciate your generosity enormously and THANK YOU for being Special YLF Shevia.

We hope you have a beautiful birthday that celebrates the brilliance of YOU. We must hook up in Israel the next time Greg and I visit, so prep hubs that we’re very good eaters and coming over for Shabbat.

love Angie xo
