Rarely do I get excited to shop locally because I forever miss my nice malls and department stores, however when something new opens, I’m one of the first to check it out!  I’ll never give up my online shopping, but it’s nice to have a “go to” store that you can pick up something trendy and relatively inexpensive.  Recently a store opened up less than 5 miles from my house that has fulfilled this need: Apricot Lane.

Apricot Lane is a locally owned/operated franchise that has locations country wide (check out locations here).  The store has lots and lots of dresses, tops, jeans, accessories, and wait for it….customer service!!!!  I was starting to think that customer service was dead until I found this store.  I tend to shop with my toddler (think tiny hands touching every piece of inventory) and the owner of the store was not only okay with it, but she helped watch my daughter while I tried on clothes!  It was such a relief to deal with friendly staff and support a local shop.  Some of their brands include: Free People, Joe’s Jeans, BB Dakota, Miss Me and more.

If you have a store nearby, you might also consider having a FASHION PARTY.  I am thinking of having one myself because all guests of the party get a discount on their purchases and the host gets even deeper discounts!  It’s like a Tupperware Party, but with adorable clothes.  What’s not to love?!

If you are a Syracuse local (or passing through the area…lol), please check them!  Located in Wegmans Plaza Dewitt.  If you’re out of state, see if you have an Apricot Lane near you!

shops love!
