I had to log in when I saw this to wish you a Happy Birthday! You are truly a remarkable woman. You approach every situation with tact an d thoughtfulness. You are so eloquent. I wish you much success and happiness this year.

Oh. My.

I have to tell you. I read Angie's post and promptly burst into tears!

So I actually had to give myself some time away before reading the rest of your lovely comments. I've just read them now. And I burst into tears again!

I don't think my family is going to recognize me in the generous and warm things you have all said.

I actually can't think of a nicer birthday gift than this. So, to all who have posted -- you don't just LOOK fab. You ARE fab.

And Angie, you are the Queen of Fab Forever.

Late to the party, but Happy Birthday! Thank you for all the encouragement you given me and all the inspiration too!

*shed a tear and chuckled at the same time*

You are SO deserving of these kind words Super Hero Suz. We adore you. xo

Suz, Suz everything Angie said Your kindness & eloquence & your wonderful WIWs are all part of a style that is unique

I remember you from my first tentative post. I have LOVED following your style journey (& love where it has taken you).

Many, many happy returns dear Suz XXOO.

Happy birthday Suz. I especially appreciate your kind and well-thought out comments.

Happy Birthday, Suz! You are one of the YLFers who are the heart and soul of the group. Count me among the timid posters to whom you have warmly and wisely responded. You generously share your style journey and encourage us in ours. Have a marvelous day and year!

Happy birthday, Suz! Thank you for all your kind, encouraging, well thought out comments.

Happiest of birthdays, wonderful Suz. YLF is a much richer place with you here, and I'm so glad to know you here and IRL. May this year be filled with wonderful things--wardrobe-wise, word-wise, and... some other 'w' word-wise

Well what can I say about you Suz that Angie hasn't already put into words here?

Your support of YLF members is incredible. You never hesitate to offer not only style help, but "life" help as well. I always know when I read a Suz comment I'm gonna get "the real deal" and you have an impeccable eye for details that never ceases to amaze and help me.

One day we are gonna get that cup of coffee in Paris and until then, I wish you the most wonderful of birthdays

Happy birthday, our super hero Suz! Your generosity and warmth is hard to explain in words. Angie has given you a great tribute. You certainly are a ray of sunshine on this forum with your thoughtful analysis of outfits and wonderful guidance. Like others, I am also in awe of how you manage to respond to so many posts with great wisdom. I am sure all the fabbers have learnt some great stuff from your style journey. I know, I have.
I wish you a wonderful birthday and looking forward to seeing your great contributions on this forum (both in advice and in your WIW's) for years to come.

Suz, you are my hero in more ways than one: First Class Fashionista, Fitness Queen, Wondrous Writer, Empress of Encouragement, Princess Roll with the Punches, and A-1 Analytical Achiever! Wishing you the happiest of birthdays and many, many happy returns of the day!!

Happy birthday, Suz. You are a super hero in a raw silk fuchsia cape. What a pleasure to get to know you on this forum, and maybe in person some day (Yorkdale or Eaton Centre meet up?).

Had to check in to say happy happy birthday! Enjoy your day, Suz. This place has never been the same since you signed up…and I mean that in the best possible way. You are indeed a YLF superstar.

Suz, I always enjoy reading your posts and it's been great fun following your style journey. Wishing you a wonderful year including many, many excellent style moments!

Happy birthday, Suz. You are definitely my hero, and I will always be grateful to you. Xxx

Happy birthday, and ditto to all that was said above. YLF is a richer place because of you.

Happy Birthday, Suz! You are a fashion rock star. I always look forward to reading your insightful comments and your WIW posts. Hopefully we will be able to meet next summer when I am out at Lake Ontario!

Happy birthday Suz! Even though I don't know you well yet, I can already tell I'm going to love you! I hope that your day is as special as you are...

All my best wishes! Thank you for giving us all so much!

Happy birthday ,darling Suz! You are everything and more what Angie said. I am really in awe that you manage to comment on almost every single post on the forum and do it with such kindness and grace it blows my mind. It is amazing how big your heart is and how you can find a kind word and sage advice for everybody on the forum
I am still tingling all over remembering our NAS adventure together and how much fun it was. I only wish we had less that 5 hour drive between our cities so we could get together more frequently...we need to plan Toronto mini-vacation together!
As for your style I really feel that we are kindred spirits: it is uncanny how many times we pick the same things or wear similar outfits, fellow Urban Prince.
I wish you a very happy birthday and brilliant year ahead of you. You always inspire me and rock my world!

Suz, you are my super hero, and one of the forum icons. I'm so thrilled to be inspired by your style, and to soak up your always kind words. You're absolutely terrific, and I wish you an absolutely terrific birthday.

It's late, and I'm getting sleepy, but I wanted to pop on and say how grateful I am for your presence on the forum. I benefit everyday from your thoughtfulness and creativity. You are a master and the improv game "yes, and.....," praising what you see on the forum and offering and idea to build upon it. Your style is in full flower, and is such a beautiful frame for your big heart!

Happy birthday Suz! I love your point of view and contribution to make to all the ladies of YLF! I hope you've had a wonderful day!

Suz you gave out such a warm welcome when I first joined the forum that I felt like I'd come to the right place. I appreciate your presence here and the way you reinforce Angie's values, making it a democratic and kind forum.
I hope you have a delightful birthday with your loved ones.

I was nodding along with every single word that has been written here, Suz. You are a true treasure, and as fab as it gets! I have the utmost respect for how you reply to so many threads, how your advice and feedback are always honest, kind and spot on. But it's more than that, you intuitively seem to sense it when people need more than just advice on their outfits, and you are always there to help them with that too, offering gentle encouragement, a warm smile, compassion and insights that come straight from the heart.

And then there's your style of course. I adore each and every of your WIWs, and love to read your more analytical posts too. You know exactly what you want and what suits you, and without being bogged down by analysis paralysis you go for it. At the same time you have the patience to wait for exactly the right pieces to come along, and once you have them, you are on Team Wear and clearly have fun experimenting and coming up with all those fabulous outfit combinations. It's a pleasure to behold:-)

Outside YLF, you are just as generous, enthusiastic, and ready to help. I for one, couldn't have gotten my white leather jacket without your and Sveta's help (thank you again for that, I am still so in love with it). With gusto you go out to explore the stores of Canada (and Danier in particular;-) for us all, and it's always a delight to read about those "research expeditions" (as are your posts about your shopping adventures with Sveta, what a duo you are!!).
I am already looking forward to that shopping rendezvous Angie mentions above, my word, I feel giddy just thinking about it.

Happy birthday beautiful Suz! I hope your day (and the entire) weekend will be magical, and filled with everything you dream of.

Suz - what lovely tributes everyone has written - and I couldn't agree more. I particularly resonated with what Rae wrote - it is almost unbelievable that ordinary folk like us get hang out with you.

As a particularly "written" rather than pictorial tuned person, I often get overwhelmed by YLF but your lovely prose is always a treat!

I hope we will hear soon how you passed your special day!
love Anne (a fellow LMM fan)

Happy birthday Suz, fitness super hero, fashion inspiration, and thoughtfull writer. I so much e joy your posts and commemts. Have a wonderful day.

Happy Birthday, Suz! Wishing you a wonderful day!
