New Apricot Lane Boutique – St. Armand’s Circle Featured in YourObserver.com
Ginger O’Connor and her daughter, Melanie, will open Apricot Lane Boutique just off St. Armand’s Circle.
Ginger, an 8-year resident of Longboat Key purchased 464 John Ringling Blvd., a one-story retail building, for $1.2 million on Feb. 9.
The current tenant, Touch of Africa, will move out in one month, according to O’Connor, to make way for the new boutique.

Apricot Lane, a 23-year-old franchise based in California, is unique, O’Connor said. Each store is tailored to its location and the needs of local consumers.
She said half of the merchandise in Apricot Lane will be recognizable brands such as Good Works jewelry, Tom’s shoes and analili clothing. The remainder, she said, will be items and brands that appeal to women of all ages.
“The store will be a mother-daughter shopping experience,” she said.
She said she hopes to open in May.
“I’ve been shopping on the circle since I was 12,” O’Connor said. “I know there are a lot of boutiques on the circle. I think each … is a little bit different. I’m going to bring in a lot of different items – something for everyone.”

Don’t be afraid to mix and match your metals
Your stack should feel like you. Don’t worry about what tradition says about pairing only gold with gold and silver with silver. Instead, feel free to pair gold with silver or rose gold to create a unique, edgy or classy look.

Mix short and long necklaces
When layering necklaces, you want to make sure your pieces are spaced out evenly. You can pair strands that are 1 to 2 inches apart in length. So you can start with a strand that is 16 inches, and then the next would be 18 inches. Then to complete the look, add the longer strand that could be 20 inches or even 22 inches. This works well with a few different dainty necklaces.

Pops of color help the stack stand out
Have fun and don’t be afraid to wear different color stones together. You can mix and match similar-colored gemstone rings and create a simple ombre look. If you’re worried that your layers aren’t working, you can just start with a metal and two colors like teal, coral and gold. You could also layer one plain chain and then a colorful stone necklace to make it stand out and then another longer plain chain to add length.

Pair chunky chain-link necklaces with dainty chains
Break up heavy chain-link pieces by pairing them with other thinner chain pieces of varying lengths. You can also add in a delicate pendant piece to the mix.
