Top Ten {Tuesday}: Oooh la-la!!!

Today's Top Ten {Tuesday} is in honor of my daughter, Katherine. My second-born. My "I'm what!? How?!" baby. My drama queen. My funny girl.

Katherine likes pigs. She likes bunnies. But that pales in comparison to her love for Fancy Nancy. If you have a little girl between the ages of 4 and 10, I'm sure you know who she is.  If not, you can check her out here.  (Amazon, not an affiliate link).  Nin's 5th birthday (last year) was a Fancy Nancy Fete put on in style by my mom, aunt and sister - it was so much fun!  And this year, she had a sleep over - the guests favors were travel pillows with Fancy Nancy satin pillow cases (pillows by my aunt, cases by my mom...the women are over. the. top!!!)  Facts are, I love Fancy Nancy Clancy, too.

So, here are our 10 of our favorite fancy things. Our list is inspired by Fancy Nancy:

1. The original. The one that started it all.  Fancy Nancy by Jane O'Connor, illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser.  I love how Nancy Clancy gives "how to be fancy" lessons to her family.  I love how they get all fancied up to go to the local pizzeria.  It is such a precious story about loving your family.  
2. I think I squealed a little when I saw this Fancy Nancy inspired hair clip on Etsy. How stinkin' cute is this?! And she's made out of ribbon!!!
3. The Eiffel Tower.  Nancy loves all things French because everything sounds fancier in French, you know!
4. Petits Fours. Dainty little cakes covered in fabulous icing.  And an added bonus? Their name is French!  Check out these from Dragonfly Cakes. Oh. Yum!!
5. Fancy Nancy doll.  Available at Target stores.  Katherine's Christmas gift to herself (using her Christmas money) a couple of years ago.
6. The jaw-dropping incredibleness that is this Fancy Nancy birthday cake. Oh. My. Gracious! I love, love, love! (only the orange and white iced layers are real cake, the rest are cake dummies)
7. Boas. Because boas make everything more fancy!
8. Fuschia. Anything fuschia.  Fuschia is a fancy word for pinkish purple - and is also Fancy Nancy's favorite color.
9. Accessories.  That's a fancy word for "extra stuff" - and you can never have too many accessories, according to Nancy.
10. Tea parties.  "Nancy" has even written a book on tea parties! One of Katherine's favorites!!
