(These wishes are a day early because I'm busy and worried I’ll forget to wish you tomorrow. And my birthday-remembering-track-record over the last year has been less than fab. Plus, we need to celebrate incredible YOU right now).

Suz, I’m going to write paragraphs of praise here - and feel like I did not do your spirit justice. But I can start by saying that your insatiable fabness is a reason to join the YLF community. And your absolutely killer style is enviable eye candy. Queen Fuchsia, Orchid & Raspberry, I courtesy before you and celebrate your YLF royalty.

You tackle life with bus loads of intuitive style. There is an incredible wisdom, curiosity and tenacity that accompanies your empathy, warmth, sensitivity, eloquence, intelligence, emotional intelligence, honesty, thoughtfulness, gentleness, kindness, and unending patience. You put your heart and soul into every comment here, and are so wonderfully sincere about it. You pick up orphan threads, constantly reassure people, encourage the timid, praise the confidant, and take great care with how you express yourself. Plus you comment on every single blog post with stamina and precision. Mind blowing and very loyal. WOW. I’m in awe of your graciousness each day, and learn from your stellar example.

As I’ve said before, the part I like best about you is your endearing modesty. You are so, so, SO humble - and I LOVE IT. This makes you even more special. Never tooting your own horn - yet you're always strong and confidant. This is powerful - at least, that’s how I see it. Always thinking of others before yourself, and rolling up your sleeves to help someone solve a problem at the drop of a hat. You are Super Hero Suz.

Darling Suz. I love the way you’ve teamed up with Darling Sveta as your fashion buddy. The two of you make an unstoppable, fabulous and lovable team. There is humour and mutual respect between the two of you and that’s brilliant. I hope to accompany you on a shopping rendezvous one day, taking Inge with us as our kindred style spirit.

I hope you feel our adoration and affection, Suz. You are very special, and touch the hearts of all who you hold close. THANK YOU for sharing your incredible self with us here on YLF. We appreciate it more than you know. You are a gem and such a mensch.

Now enjoy your birthday weekend and celebrate your insatiable fabness this instant.

love Angie xo
