So excited to be joining our Fashion Editor, Hillary Dick in Newport on Wednesday, August 4 to see James Montgomery Blues Band performing at the Newport Yatching Center. This fantastic event is to benefit the Martin Luther king Community Center, an organization, founded in 1922 which provides programs to create a lasting sense of well being, self-worth, self-fulfillment and personal growth. For tickets and for information, click on MLK Community Center. What to wear? Hilary’s friend Camilla of CK Bradley has the perfect selection of summer essentials. The Dress and halter top are absolutely flattering for any age and body type. And to complement the outfits, we went to Kim Renk’s Sequin line, another Newport gem.
