personally, i'm not a big fan of her oscar de la renta outfit. it just does not sit well with my gut though many have raved over that look. nevertheless, jennifer lawrence is riding high on the list of best dressed actresses and the 'to-watch'. probably because she has been keeping her outfits simple and clean-cut. no fanciful designs or over the top prints. she exudes a sense of 'no-frills' elegance.

fash'on... BAM!

@dd it: fun fashion

so this whole week, we have been weaving in and out of fantastic worlds, living vicariously through the clothes worn on stage. it's almost like 'around the world in (five) days' and boy, has the journey been a fun one. hence to wrap up the week, i'm going to advocate a little fun in our fashion. nope, i'm not about to ask you to dress up as a clown (perhaps i should!) but instead, inject a little flash into your fashion.

it could be as complex as the 'twitter dress' of nicole scherzinger. it is an electronic-powered frock that displayed real tweets in real time. containing 2,000 led lights and 3,000 swarovski crystals, the dress was created by fashion technology company cutecircuit, whose clothes are embedded with lights and rechargeable via usb.

or it could be a belt or pendant with a led screen bearing a whimsical tagline.

LED buckles

or simply a slogan tee...

all in all, it's about using fashion to incite giggles and conversation. have as much fun as you like just don't set yourself on fire cos that's not funny!

fash'on... BAM!
