My Review: The Ravenclaw Crest 2 T-Shirt is well made and fits to the sizing chart provided by Zazzle. The design made my daughter smile and she wore it on her first day of school. She said that other Harry Potter fans noticed and smiled at her, which at a new school is a definite plus.

T.J. Maxx and Marshalls are smack dab in the middle of their Back To School sales. Whether you’re buying for a college student or a preschooler, you’ll find bargains on clothing, accessories, lunch boxes and even school supply sets. It’s easy to find what you need because all of the merchandise is for the current season and set up by size.

If you’re a regular shopper at T.J. Maxx or Marshalls, you know that their prices are already marked down from retail prices. When there’s clearance prices, you can find amazing bargains! They are called Off-Price stores because they use the buying power of their over 900 stores to negotiate prices and then pass those savings on to us.

I live near Marshalls and it’s one of my favorite places to shop. I know that I’ll always find a good deal every time I visit. This time I looked for clothing for my 11 year old daughter who will be attending middle school in about 3 weeks. This is her first time going to school without uniforms so I’m on the lookout for clothes that will last as well as good prices.

I had $50 to spend and I wanted to make it go far. We focused on tops and found 6 shirts for her as well as a small treat – earplugs for her Nintendo DS and still have money left over!

Take a look at the photos included in my Whrrl to see what was in my local Marshalls:

The Style Studio: Fashion Designer iPhone App brings out the fashionista in you. Both children and adults can use and enjoy this app. Want to play dress up or design your own fashion label? This app is for you.  According to Ray Sharma, the Founder of XMG Studio (the app creator),

While there are a few apps out there that allow you to apply colors to pre-set clothing items and mix and match them, Style Studio is the first app that actually allows the designer to choose different materials, make alterations, customize prints and apply add-ons or decorative elements to each piece of clothing.

Here’s some of the amazing things you can do with Style Studio: Fashion Designer:

• Create a fashion show
• Share your designs on Twitter, Facebook and through email
• Create tops, pants, dresses, skirts and outerwear
• Choose from thousands of fabrics, buttons, belts, etc. that have been preloaded
• Upload your own graphics and photos
• Create a magazine cover using your fashion design

Sammi’s Review (11 year old daughter):  I like to design clothes so I can express myself. This app lets me do more than the online games I play because I can change the size of the clothes, add bows and other accessories, change the design on the fabric and make magazine covers. One of my favorite materials that I’ve made has the anime character Konata Izumi on it. I just wish there were more shoes to chose from, but I can spend hours on this game.

Buy It: For $2.99 you can buy the iPhone app.

Edited to Add: Thanks to Amanda from Chronic Pain And Ramblings who commented that right now this app is Free!
