Apricot Lane spring preview (and win a Farrah B necklace!) (Photos)

This year, spring fashion trends have ranged widely from electric colors to graphic patterns on the runway. And in cities everywhere, popular department stores and exotic boutiques have followed suit, getting their spring racks ready for the warmer weather and the even newer trends. One particular boutique - Apricot Lane - hit many high notes this season with their new spring pieces and even wider selection of accessories. Here are a few of the standouts among their cute spring choices!

Graphic and Geometric Patterns. All over the runway this season, stripes, graphic patterns and geometric patterns ruled. Whether they were seen in the classic suits at Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger, or in the flirtier designs at Marc Jacobs and Oscar de la Renta, the runway was filled with beautiful chevron inspired gowns and sharp contrasting edges. At Apricot Lane, you can find a large selection of flirty blouses with several varieties of patterns and shapes, along with gorgeous (and comfortable) chevron laced maxis.

Polka Dots. Polka dots graced the runways of serious fashion staples like Chanel and Diane von Furstenberg. Apricot Lane incorporates polka dot pieces in contrasting colors like navy, white and black. A perfect pair with any feminine necklace and pair of skinny jeans or Bermuda shorts.

Exotic and Floral Prints. As seen on the runways at Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren, Derek Lam, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch and Marchesa. With leopard blouses, floral sleeveless button downs, shorts and tribal prints, Apricot Lane easily incorporates this wild trend throughout a wide variety of clothing pieces.

Electric Colors. Electric colors were worn on the Derek Lam, DKNY, Rag & Bone, Diane von Furstenberg and Oscar de la Renta runways. They were seen in bright corals, turquoise blues and bright fuchsia throughout the store. Whether you like a bold shoe, a chunky and bright necklace, or a loud pair of jeans, Apricot Lane has a wide variety of wild hues to keep you seen this spring.
