The night will shine bright when illumination takes place April 26 at The Ritz-Carlton. Special guest Martin Short will entertain in an evening planned by co-chairs Danny Ludeman, former Wells Fargo Advisors CEO and Joe Stieven, Stieven Capital Advisors CEO. This event focuses on the research funded by the Cancer Frontier Fund through the Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital. The suggested attire is cocktail, which calls for a short length. But if you’re in the mood and you find that perfect long dress, go for it! And why not take advantage of the rainbow of spring colors to celebrate the occasion.

Q: KNOWING THAT YELLOW IS A
HOT COLOR FOR SPRING, DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS FOR WEARING IT IN A FLATTERING WAY?
A: Yellow can be challenging for some complexions. But one rule to keep in mind: You can wear just about any color if you keep it farther away from your face. Thank goodness for accessories! Try a yellow handbag, shoe, earrings and/or bracelet. Even a printed scarf with a touch of yellow can give just the right amount for you to enjoy this in-the-moment color. And remember: There are many shades, so if one is too glaring for your coloring, try a softer hue.
