About the Author

Lipstick to Crayons was created by two sisters “joined at the hip” despite living miles apart. Different in many ways, yet both full of an energetic drive to create, design, and start projects (and browse the internet any chance they get!). Six kids between them, yet they still yearn to maintain their “hip & stylish” former selves.

Fancy Nancy Doll- Just the hit shelves and is ADORABLE!

atte0bec.jpg
The fantastically fabulous Fancy Nancy product line to arrive exclusively at Target May 2008 and we got our hands on one! Or I should say my daughters got their hands on one.

I was so excited to get a Fancy Nancy doll for my youngest who has red curly hair and a love for not matching and anything sparkly just like Fancy Nancy. What I didn’t expect was for my eight year old daughter to fall in love with the doll. She has coveted her from the baby and hasn’t let her out of her arms since. She even changes her into her fancy pajamas and fuzzy slippers every night for bed!

fancynancy.jpgThe Fancy Nancy doll is based on the bestselling book Fancy Nancy and has been followed up with Fancy Nancy and the posh puppy and Fancy Nancy: Bonjour Butterfly.

Fancy Nancy, a brand/character known for its humor and warmth, encourages little girls to freely channel their own personal exuberance! Each Fancy Nancy title finds Nancy embarking on a new adventure where she always discovers that real fanciness does not depend simply on appearance, but more on a genuine joie de vivre, which is a fancy phrase for having lots of fun!

fanc.jpgWe have definitely had fun with our Fancy Nancy. What I love most about this doll is her uniqueness and her message that being fancy is really about being yourself. She does not look like your typical blonde blue-eyed doll dressed in an old fashioned dress. Fancy Nancy has vibrant red curly hair with purple streaks, stunning yellow/green eyes and her clothes are mismatched just how most preschoolers like to dress .

Fancy Nancy can be found at Target along with a line of accessories and outfits. The doll is $39.99 and the outfits/accessories run between $9.99 and $24.99. Fancy Nancy is going to be THE doll to have this holiday season so get your hands on one as soon as you can! In fact one lucky reader will win one just by leaving a comment on this post.

  30. Very cute~

    I recently was at a party of a friend’s daughter and there was a lady there who’s name was Nancy and she dressed up like fancy Nancy and read Fancy Nancy books to all the girls.

    When she was growing up she was called Fancy Nancy because she always wore pretty dresses, and now she travels from school to school reading Fancy Nancy books for the children and she always dresses the part!

    Please include me in your drawing
    Thanks
