No Strings Attached...

No Strings Attached is definitely a Fancy MUST SEE! I actually went on my date alone to the movies Sunday after church and enjoyed this romantic comedy. Director Ivan Reitman and his writers did a terrific job on the storyline and plot. I have seen this story happen so many times except the roles were reverse (You'd understand once you view this film). It also goes to show that a heart is nothing to play with. There's no such thing as "No Strings Attached" because feelings will developed some way or another. You just can't be intimate with someone and never develop any feelings. Overall great movie, so make sure you go watch this film in theater's everywhere. Check out the trailer below!

Fancy Tune of The Day!

   

 Natasha Bedingfield-Happy

This song get's me through my rainy days! Any song that's good enough to make a bad day turn good is definitely a FANCY TUNE!

REVERSE Happy Hour!

Want to catch drinks after dinner with your girlfriends? Then head over to the hottest reverse happy hour in town with this simply chic look! Since the blouse is very vibrant you want to tone it down with a pair of 70's inspired wide leg denim jeans. You also want to keep the accessories and jewelry to a minimum. I hope you enjoy!

(This post is for one of my readers who sent me an email about the happy hour look!)

We LOVE Jane Aldridge's Fancy REMIX!

Jane Aldridge from Sea of Shoes posted these pics a couple of day's ago! I absolutely LOVE IT! The most fancy part about it SHE'S FROM TEXAS!! :)   Everyone loves Texas eh? However through Jane's sea of shoes she happens to love the Yves Saint Laurent platforms that she's wearing above. She's made them very versatile by doing a FANCY REMIX with a vintage pant suit below. Go JANE! It was absolutely stamped fancy!

My Fancy Travel Essentials

Everyone have those things that they just can not travel without, regardless if it's your pet, books, favorite notebook, or good luck charm. I can't board a flight, road trip, or train ride (By the way, perfect for a solo getaway) without these fancy essentials (pictured above). When I say fancy I do not mean the price of the items, more so my favorite necessities that completes me! So I love periodicals right? I mean who doesn't love reading what's new in Fashion? Especially with a periodical such as Teen Vogue where fashion starts! I love LOVE LOVE their trend reports, their current issues that affect teens/young adults, and their style watch report. Gentlemen's Quarterly is one of my favorites considering I always enjoy their spring previews, trend reports and their editorials are to die for. Elle is a good publication because I love their accessories report for good friends that are girls. These magazines definitely cater to high and low demographics which makes it fancy to subscribe to all three. I can not go anywhere without my BlackBerry! I honestly live on my BlackBerry, regardless if it is Twitter, Facebook, emails, or a BBM conversation that keeps me glued to it. I believe being able to respond promptly to someone is definitely FANCY and professional. I must always travel with my Nivea lip care, because no one enjoys having chapped lips right? It's not FANCY! I also have to use Jergens skin care because it applies smoothly and keeps my skins healthy and moist. Dry skin is definitely uncomfortable and rough. If I'm traveling on a plane it is best to wear a watch since all electronic devices are asked to be powered off (I wouldn't want to be the cause of a plane crash). I chose Timex because it's fancy and economically friendly for my college student budget. Five gum is the best gum my favorite flavor happens to be Electro (which is seen above). A trip would not be a trip without being able to control the music you want to hear. With that being said I'm simply talking about my Ipod. My ipod is filled with eclectic genres and artists. From Journey (Don't stop believing) to Jay Z (A star is born) depending on the mood I'm in. Regardless of what others may think, the vibe that in your presence influences your mood and crying babies or snoring neighbor on a plane would not sit well with my "time to relax" mood. No? Dark sunglasses are my escape.... honestly we all know the awkward conversations with strangers are sometimes annoying! Last but not least I must always always always travel with my over-sized cardigan because I refuse to be caught dead with a snuggie on if I get cold. I hope you enjoyed my fancy essentials for more updates and photos do not forget to follow me on twitter @CarltonJared.

-Cheers from Carlton!

Vanity Fair get's Fancy with Bieber Fever!

Simple and Chic for Brunch!

If you want to know how to dress when you are going on a first date... and it's to brunch! Look no further, one of "The Fancy Times" readers sent me an email on what to wear to a brunch date. She didn't want to do too much but yet look so plain. She said she wants to be comfortable but chic at the same time. Well here you are, and I hope you blow him away. This look is very vintage inspired, but very comfortable and chic.  It is also mixed with high and low prices, but if you are on a budget you can shop places such as ALDO, Urban Outfitters, Fossil, Bakers Shoes and vintage stores in your local area for this look.

I love Marc Jacobs... He's a FANCY trendsetter!

Take Notes! Kid Cudi gets FANCY for Gentlemen's Quarterly

Gentlemen's Quarterly did a really great trend report that captured the FANCY radar. Their "Spring Style Preview"  starring three of the season’s most astounding young stars – Kid Cudi, Justin Chatwin and Armie Hammer features eclectic colors and styles that were trendy and FANCY! However, the khaki shirt trend was very fresh on Kid Cudi and The Fancy Times stamps our approval. The preview is about ten spreads in the January 2011 issue on new stands everywhere, but you can see pictures of Kid Cudi below. Enjoy!

 More photo's of the other trends after the jump!

Let's get fancy and jetset!

Years ago when Paris Hilton was starring in "The Simple Life" reality show she was often spotted in airports wearing a Juicy Couture Velour tracksuit and a pair of Ugg boots. Then it became more typical to dress comfortable while you traveling. The question is.... Who wants to blend in? Celebrities such as Halle Barry, Kim Kardashian, David Beckham, and many more are so over that trend. They'd much rather travel FANCY and in style. I agree! Even if I'm traveling in a car to another city I am mindful of my brand and the image that comes along with it. Check out the pictures below of the FANCY Jetsetters.

Halle Berry

Jake Gyllenhaal

Kim Kardashian looks very chic and fancy!

Victoria & David Beckham makes traveling look cool but yet edgy.
