About a month ago, I was at my Grandma & pa’s Anniversary Party eating some dinner, when my lovely Aunt who I hadn’t seen in ages came over and sat down by me to see how I was doing. I was telling her about my fashion blog and the Personal Stylist biz I had started up when she jumped in, “OMG! You have to play this super fun fashion game Nick created, called COVET FASHION, you will LOVE it!” Nick is my super talented techy cousin who has been in the game creating biz for awhile now, so I was not surprised to hear this. I was like, “ok, yeah I’ll check it out.”
I tend to not be the biggest on gaming so I was a bit reluctant but being that it was fashion, and my cousin was a creator on it, I had to give it a try. Especially after hearing my Aunt tell me how much she loves it and is completely addicted to it. In fact, so much so, that she told me how she had to delete the app off her phone because she was spending too much time on it!
As the party died down a bit and I was feeling a bit bored, I decided to upload this app and indeed give it a try. What I found almost immediately, was that there was no going back for me! I WAS ADDICTED!
Yeah it was kind of like shopping for that perfect Little Black Dress, when you’ve tried it on and found “the one” you just know, right?! Well that’s how I felt about this game right there on the first go at it! I’ve played it everyday since, in fact, I wait most of the time impatiently, to get my allowance each day so I can start creating more looks and get entered into the voting to earn more style points and fashion!
This game is a fashion lovers dream, and I’ll tell you why! Each piece that you purchase for your game to create a look and style for in the daily competitions, is actual designer fashion available right now, this season, that you can actually shop for real if you so desire too! How cool is that?! They also have daily deals where you can GET DISCOUNTS on these designer pieces just for being a player of the Covet Game! Not to mention earn points towards towards the game too!
I’ve actually found, in the weirdest way ever, that shopping for my game with my virtual money, somehow seems to help relieve my own desire to shop for real. I’m totally serious! I get excited about these fabulous designer pieces I can shop with my play money for my avatar, and totally love browsing through my virtual closet to piece together looks for the daily competitions! It honestly fills the need in me to acquire more, at least it has recently anyway! But enough about that, if you’re reading this and my blog, your probably more interested in the fashion itself!
So here’s how the game works. Each day you get an allowance to buy some new designer fashion, and get your entry into some daily competitions. Style your avatar for the competition look, which can be anything from styling a look for a 1920’s actress, to creating a cave-woman inspired look. There are several to choose from each day. Put your look together using fashion pieces in your virtual closet, purchase the required pieces for the competition (if you don’t already have them in your closet) and then get entered! You can even change the skin tone of your avatar, hair, and makeup to best go with your look too!
Once entered, your look goes into voting where other members vote on which look they like best. The better your look scores, the more style points you achieve, and you can earn more diamonds, and more fashion for your virtual closet to help you get a better advantage on your next styling competitions!
You also get to vote on looks each day to earn tickets to get entered into each competition. I love the voting as I find it totally inspiring to see some of the gorgeous looks my fellow Covet players create!
Also, get your Facebook friends to join, and you can borrow from their closet! How fun is that?!
That pretty much covers the logistics of the game, you really have to try it out for yourself to see, but I’m guessing if like me, you love your designer fashion, love shopping, and love creating looks, you’re probably going to LOVE this game too!
Also, in case you’re wondering, some of the designers and brands features on the game include: Calvin Klein, J Brand Jeans, BCBG MaxAzria, Nicole Miller, Nanette Lepore, Zimmerman, Rebecca Minkoff, United Nude, French Connection, Cynthia Rowley, and many, many more!
