Igor Dobranic Glamour Dress



Essential Elements-Chicago, (EE), has been an integral part of style in Chicago, but since the introduction of their Facebook page, Essential Element Mavens, their energy has permeated closets worldwide to work its magic.


Owner, Melanie Whaley, waves her wand,as she travels to fashion houses, and, presto, our allusions become a reality - clothes that are mind-blowing. By her own definition, Whaley says that an Essential Maven is "an Essential Element-Chicago fashion diva & connoisseur of fine apparel, shoes, and accessories." Herein is our attraction to her wares found on social media and in her boutique.


Whaley's savvy is no stranger to Garden Spices, so welcome back to the allure of Essential Elements-Chicago Mavens, and all who love style. Gate open - Victorine
