Happy Second Anniversary!
April 4th, 2008Greg and I started YLF two years ago and the time has flown. We like to celebrate these anniversaries by reflecting on the activity of our readers. Below are the 10 posts that received the most comments over the last year. Crocs seem to be the shoe we love to hate – they came in at positions 1 and 10. Especially notable in this list are numbers 1 and 7, which were posted very recently and haven’t had much time to accumulate comments.
- Crocs mean business
- Do you love or loathe the new Trapeze jacket?
- Preferred shopping categories
- Katie’s new cut
- The volume watershed
- Vanity Sizing
- High-waisted, wide-legged jeans
- The body shape bible
- An American holiday tradition?
- To Croc or not to Croc
These are the top 10 categories. “Body Type” was at the top of the list again this year (last year’s positions are in parentheses).
- Body Type (1)
- What to Wear
- Dresses
- Wedding Wear (5)
- Party Wear
- Casual Wear (2)
- Men’s Style (8)
- European Style (7)
- Dress Codes (10)
- Celebrities
I have posted over 500 entries so it’s hard to come up with a list of my favourites. I enjoy writing all my posts but hold a special place in my heart for the pieces on:
- International style and fashion
- Upcoming trends
- The best and worst of a season
- Dressing for your body type
- Dress codes
The posts that generated the most controversy were “Dressing your age” and “Are you too sexy to fly?“.
A big thank you to all our subscribers, forum members, daily readers and occasional visitors for making our readership what it is today. Your valuable contribution is appreciated.

Congratulations. You rock! And your site makes a difference in my life - everyday.

Congrats, Angie and Greg. This is an awesome site. Not only has it helped me be more stylish, I also really enjoy the community on the forum. It’s the first online community I actively participate in, because it’s both fun and useful. (If sometimes almost too addictive, like when I rather check for new forum posts rather than working ;-)) Super job.

…… and thanks for yr job. I can tell you that since I receive yr e-mails I have changed the way I shop, the way I look and the way I feel about myself. No kidding!
I am still in process of transforming my wardrobe but thanks to your fine help now I know where I am heading with it.
You are wonderful.

Wow, Angie, that’s great! I am learning so much and have gone from mostly clueless to having a partial clue thanks to you and your posts entirely.
My favorite are the posts on trends and what is being worn in different places you travel to.
Keep up the great work, a bunch of us rely on you now! Congrats. Nancy

YLF is my new favorite blog, and I’m still reading all the archives! Congratulations on 2 years, I’m looking forward to more!

Big THANK YOU to Angie and Greg for making this part of my every day! Congratulations and I hope you find a way to celebrate this evening!

Happy Anniversary indeed!! For all of us …
April 4th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
Thank you so much Angie for giving me something to do during my down time at work and when I want to procrastinate on my homework! This site has become as regular for me as checking my email and the forum was definitely a terrific idea. I read a lot (a LOT) of fashion blogs, but this is the only one I’m really comfortable with posting on.
April 4th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
I’m taken aback by your generous and heartfelt comments. Thank you for feeling comfortable posting on our site and letting us know how you feel. It is YOU that adds a very stylish element to YLF and it would not be the same without your voice. We love hearing what you have to say.
I’d like to extend a very special thank you to my husband Greg. It was about two and half years ago when we were flying back from seeing friends in NY that he suggested to me that I start a fashion and style blog. And I responded with “what is a blog?” It was soon thereafter that he began to design our site in his spare time and I am very grateful. YLF is a huge part of my life and I am touched that it holds meaning for you too.

Congratulations to Angie and Greg! Your blog combines excellent fashion advise and thoughts. But also importantly, your blog is so well designed. You create links in your sample pictues and previous blog entries and you have an excellent search engine. AND you don’t have little elves that help you out. It is fabulous that you could combine your two wonderful talents to help us!
April 5th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Congratulations! It’s really neat to hear about the “beginnings” of this blog, Angie. We appreciate your husband also! Thank you for publishing a blog that is not only very informative (I feel smarter just coming here), but also a lot of fun. I wish I’d been around for all of the first two years, but yay for the archives.
Here’s to many more posts and transformed wardrobes!
