5 Must Haves from a Red Headed Fashionista

Meet Rachel. A recent college grad with... gorgeous red hair! You know it was love at first sight for me, right? Totally. She's a super funny sweetheart who's become a Twitter pal over the past year. Love hearing her constant life updates as she successfully wrapped up her senior year in college. A smartie communications/psych major, mind you!

Rachel's also the blogger behind The Redhead Fashionista, offering a fun glimpse at celebrity style (and who's wearing what brand), some of her ensembles, her favorite links of the week (love this weekly read), and much more.  Thrilled this uber fashionable gal is bringing you her five must haves. Totally digging her picks!

In her words, here's Rachel's Five Must Haves for Right Now:

Maxi Skirts

Being petite, I've always been afraid of maxi skirts and maxi dresses. I assumed the longer lengths would make me look even shorter. I had my eye on the Winter Kate Health Long Floral Skirt for a while though and recently purchased it. I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try, right? Well, I'm so glad I did because it's amazing! I want to wear it every day! It's actually got me on the hunt for some more maxi skirts.
TAGG find: the gorgeous Winter Kate maxi too step for your budget? Check out this very similar F21 option for less than $20!
 

Wedge Sandals

Wedge sandals are a must-have for summer. There are tons of great pairs out there, but my favorite wedges right now would have to be Diane von Furstenberg's Theia platform wedge sandals. Not only do they look great, but they're incredibly comfortable too!
TAGG find: Obsessed with the Theia, but for under $60 I'm digging this inspired pair by Nine West.

MICHAEL Michael Kors Joan Large Satchel

I had been wanting this bag for a while, so my mom decided to buy it for me as a college graduation present this past weekend (thanks, mom!). From the color, to the soft leather, to the size... it's perfect!

Tarte Cheek Stain

I'm probably a bit late to the game on this one, but I tried this cheek stain at Sephora recently and fell in love. The coral-pink color of Tipsy is perfect on my fair skin and it lasts all day, even in the heat! Plus, it smells like apricots! Who could resist that? Well, unless you don't like apricots that is...

Fedoras

This BDG Linen Fedora from Urban Outfitters and this straw fedora from J.Crew (no longer available) have become staples in my wardrobe. Prior to this year, I would have told you I'd look silly in a hat, but now I find myself wanting to wear these two all the time!
