Stephanie Willams has lived in central Illinois for over twenty years. From producing the local news, dabbling in weather and even bartending right here in Champaign Illinois, this fashion loving "boss lady" has made her passion for fashion a dream and her career. Now living in Normal with her husband, daughter & their two dogs (Brizzy & Apricot), Stephanie has been in retail off and on since she was sixteen. As the owner of Apricot Lane Normal since 2021, Stephane has headed back east on 74 to bring mothers & daughters, students & business professionals, a place to shop that's cute, fun & has all the latest on-trend fashion finds.

"I am so excited to hand-pick all the on-trend items headed to this amazing location in Champaign! I hope you love what we will have to offer and I am so glad those of you who can't get in store will have a way to easily purchase some of our best styles. I love what I do, so now I own what I do but I couldn't do it with out you. Thank you so much for supporting me & making my dreams come true. I have a lot of plans for this location, but please be patient as I work hard to bring you the very best." -Stephanie
