Beautiful fabrications, alluring styles, and gorgeous prints and colors are all components of the wonderful clothing line, Ralston, lovingly made in Switzerland.
The spotlight is on Trippen shoes, amazing handmade shoes from Germany for the diva who desires unique, head-turning footwear.
Pantone denotes a color for the season, but at Essential Elements, black and white is the order of the season!
One of the highlights of my profession is meeting with designers as they present their new collections for the upcoming season. Although I've shopped the Las Vegas and California markets, New York is where my heart is!
By all accounts, the European jewelry line, MONIES is unsurpassed in the genre of bold, unique, statement jewelry. Worn by the stars and jewelry lovers everywhere, Essential Elements is proud to be a long time destination for this amazing wearable art.
We're taking our website to the next level, adding lifestyle shots of beautiful "real women" wearing our beautiful clothing and shoes. Here's a sneak peak behind the scenes of our fun and exciting day!
After years of contemplating, dreaming, praying, and envisioning, Essential Elements online shopping experience is a reality!
