With some students going back to school this week and some eagerly (or grudgingly) waiting for school to start , the back to school season is one of the biggest shopping times of the year. Countless articles of what is popular this year, which binder to get, what accessories for the first day of school, and how to do you hair pop up during this time and we thought we'd bring you some of the best of each of these.

This year is all about the vintage 70s and 80s looks, bright pops of colors, platforms, bomber jackets, round glasses, and chokers-whats not to love?

These cute button front denim skater skirt hits all the marks for the skirts of the season. The skater silhouette is perfect for school and denim is making a huge comeback!

Out with the black chokers and in with the metallics! The choker trend is obviously here to stay. There are so many styles from leather to velvet to metal but this season, the golds and silvers have it! Add a pop of sparkle to your outfit with a choker chain like this one from Forever 21.

Athletic/Sporty sneakers are the hottest trend right now. These sneakers made their debut in the basketball world in the 1960's, became a hiphop icon in the 1980's, and exploded back into the mainstream this year. Comfortable and stylish sneakers are perfect for back to school.

Bomber Jackets have an effortless, sporty vibe with tons of different materials and patterns. From classic Member's Only nylon jackets to these embroidered satin jackets, bombers can be added for that lightweight layer in the chilly nights of fall season.

It is everywhere. Every post, every blog, every photo, every news article. We're talking about Pokemon Go of course. More than ever before, kids and adults alike are flocking to beaches, parks, and malls to become the very best and to catch them all.  Do you know where the hot spots are? Here are a few jam packed ones!

Santa Monica Pier, once a cute date night location is now crowded with new Pokemon trainers looking for their biggest catches. This location is heavy with water types and come early as the later it gets the more packed it is. Videos have emerged of super busy nights at the pier all in good fun!

Travel down to Irvine in Orange County  and be prepared to run into tons of people catching Pokemon at all hours of the day (and night). Heritage Park is known to be a Bulbasaur farm so those hoping to level those up and get major XP from leveling can try this place.

As we type, we have friends and acquaintances running up down and around this pier chasing a Vaporeon (and a Dragonite in Balboa that is supposed to have 6 minutes left on the timer). One of the hot spots for Pokemon to spawn, Newport pier is where everyone gathers for the cool, rare, and the awesome. Work with other groups and meet new friends on the beach! Find parking early as the later it gets, the more crowded it is. Be sure to pick up a hot Jalepeno Ham & Cheese croissant and a Thai Green Tea - perfect for an end of the day treat.

Brea Sports Park is a great place in north OC to place Pokemon. This large sports park has several soccer, baseball, and basketball courts along with one or two playgrounds. What used to be a fairly quiet park has turned into a bustling area of groups running around chasing Pokemon. We even saw off duty EMTs park their ambulance to catch some! After the recent update though, we can't say this is the best place to farm Dratini any more, Niantic patched that up...

Be sure that you protect yourself and your eyes while catching Pokemon in this crazy summer sun! Check out our selection of glasses on our website all with UV 400 protection.
