Hello Kitty Fashion with the KuKee App

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and KuKee, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #KuKeeapp  http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO.

Does she look a bit kooky to you? Getting to play with a new cell phone app for kids and get some brand new Hello Kitty fashions about put her over the edge..in the best way possible! My daughter had so much fun with Hello Kitty and KuKee. See…

Some day I’ll get her to come out of her shell a little. 🙂 In the meantime, I’ll tell you about the fun time we had shopping for Hello Kitty Clothes and learning how to use the new Kukee app!

First we downloaded the Free KuKee app, scanned the green marker and took a picture of ourselves with KuKee. It is a virtual scavenger hunt app, and whenever you scan a new image or “marker”, it unlocks more features. This graphic explains it a better.

So guess where you can find the Hello Kitty markers for the KuKee app? Right on most of the newer Hello Kitty clothing items available at Macy’s right now! You scan the marker directly from the outfit using the KuKee app on  your phone.

But before we made it that far, we had to decide on which outfit to get. That was the hardest part of all!

My little model loved every Hello Kitty outfit by Evy of California that she tried on and wanted to take it all home. When I realized how difficult this decision was going to be, we enlisted the help of our Instagram and Facebook friends. This was helpful, except you guys liked everything, too. We we torn between one of the outfits with the fancy skirts and the more casual but cute striped skirt. (Your top vote-getters, I think).

We had decided on the casual one, when it dawned on me that Macy’s was running a sale on the whole collection and I could get a little more bang for my buck, so I ran back for the cute pink fluffy skirt!

Someone was pretty happy. (I don’t think this skirt has the marker on it, but corresponding tops that you would wear with it do.) Each item of clothing with the KuKee marker comes with some finger tattoos or a finger puppet for the kids to use to create a puppet show with the KuKee app.

So she played around with her finger puppets and took this collage of selfies, all by herself!

If you weren’t sure what my daughter thinks about KuKee, I’ll let her tell you in her own words (and illustrations).

You can find out more about KuKee here. If you try out KuKee, be sure and share your child’s creations on KuKee’s social media sites: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.

Oh, and if you think my daughter is cute, you should hear her rap.

Do you have any Hello Kitty fans in your house? What do you think about combining shopping and children’s apps?
