&lt;i&gt;For those of you who read this blog before I moved to San Francisco, you may remember my BFF Lindy. For those who are new- she wrote compelling posts such as "&lt;a href="http://www.leopardandlavender.com/2012/05/tips-from-professional-wedding-guest.html" target="_blank"&gt;Tips from a Professional Wedding Guest&lt;/a&gt;," and really shined in a number of outfit posts [like &lt;a href="http://www.leopardandlavender.com/2012/03/pink-purple.html" target="_blank"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.leopardandlavender.com/2012/04/colorblind.html" target="_blank"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.leopardandlavender.com/2012/05/tuesday-twinsies.html" target="_blank"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;]. Many of you may have frantically been wondering where she went and if we were still BFFs [we are]. She was visiting a few weeks ago, and was obviously subjected to an outfit post... in which, as usual, she really shined. She also wanted to say hello, so without further adieu... here's Lindy:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"&gt;For the few of you who may have been wondering what the heck happened to me when Kelli up and left me for San Francisco, here is a brief update about what I've been up to these past 10 months:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Instead of staying in Idaho, and crying over my baked potato, I took the opportunity to follow my own heart to Seattle. It has been a smooth transition with the exception of one area- getting dressed every morning! Never did I realize how easy I had it in Boise!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I now spend a hefty amount of time commuting on public transportation and walking meaning my fashion choices actually have to serve a function as well looking good.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;As most of you know, Seattle is a rather wet and cold city- therefore most days I head out the door looking more prepared for an episode of Deadliest Catch than anything.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;However it's worth it to arrive to work warm and dry.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"&gt;The other difficult adjustment has been not having Kelli to meet me in the kitchen every morning with her exclaiming “oh great outfit!” I now live with two boys and therefore instead of waking up to compliments, I find myself explaining that the pattern of my dress is actually referred to as hound’s-tooth over morning my coffee.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Luckily, San Francisco is only a short plane ride away giving Kelli and me the chance to still have brunch filled weekends on occasion!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I was lucky to be in town a couple of weekends ago for a friend’s wedding and the weather could not have been more perfect! We spent the day doing two of our favorite past times... eating and laying in the park.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It was a great time that I hope to repeat again soon!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I have an exciting announcement! Today, I was featured alongside 11 other San Francisco decor pros on &lt;a href="http://www.refinery29.com/home-decor" target="_blank"&gt;Refinery29&lt;/a&gt;.

Click &lt;a href="http://www.refinery29.com/home-decor/slideshow#slide-9" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to view my picks and hopefully get some decor ideas of your own.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
One thing I really love about San Francisco is that it sort of feels like summer camp all the time. There are tons of activities always going on- like festivals and races and dance parties. Everyone knows someone who is basically a cool arts &amp;amp; crafts counselor- and they're willing to teach you how to screen print or make flower crowns or letterpress. If dancing is your thing, you can head to Golden Gate Park and take &lt;a href="http://www.lindyinthepark.com/" target="_blank"&gt;free classes&lt;/a&gt; every Sunday. Do you like riding bikes? They've made an &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wiggle" target="_blank"&gt;entire course&lt;/a&gt; just for you. There is also such a sense of community, like everyone who lives here is in this together. Whenever one of our sports teams is doing well- you know it. In fact, you can't escape it. The entire city is decked out in team colors, BBQing in front of their apartment buildings, entirely ignoring the lack of a front yard. You can't help but be swept up into the hype; all of the sudden you have the Giants roster memorized- including where they like to drink on weekends.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
The best part about living in [&lt;i&gt;Camp&lt;/i&gt;] San Francisco is that no one ever takes a beautiful day for granted. When I lived in Boise, you went outside or you didn't- there was no guilt attached. Here... &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/KarlTheFog" target="_blank"&gt;Karl the Fog&lt;/a&gt; takes a 3 day weekend and the entire city goes nuts. You cannot sit inside your apartment on a nice day or it will haunt you for weeks. On this day, it was 75 degrees and we were headed to the park. In my &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/181Yr7T" target="_blank"&gt;tote&lt;/a&gt;, you'd find a bottle of champagne and plastic cups. We sprawled out on a huge blanket, listened to our favorite songs, and did nothing but laugh and enjoy the warmth. And, for the sake of this &lt;i&gt;originally&lt;/i&gt; being a fashion post, this is what I wore.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Last week at &lt;a href="http://www.ruemag.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Rue&lt;/a&gt;, we released a new issue- full to the brim of all things &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/13KZAi4" target="_blank"&gt;Pacific Northwest&lt;/a&gt;! This was especially fun for me to work on since I grew up in Boise and spent much of my childhood visiting Portland, Seattle, and everywhere in between. I wanted to share some of my favorite features [&lt;i&gt;which also serve as an explanation as to what I've been working on outside of this blog&lt;/i&gt;]. Without further adieu...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

The girls of Hens &amp;amp; Chicks Collective went on a &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/17Kghfv" target="_blank"&gt;Pacific Northwest Picnic&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

We showed you how to make &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/15nLbNe" target="_blank"&gt;homemade bagels&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;[&lt;i&gt;which technically can be paired with lox... yuck&lt;/i&gt;]!&lt;/div&gt;

I know I say this every time, but this is truly one of my most favorite issues yet. If you haven't poured through the pages, click &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/13KZAi4" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and get started. You're sure to find something you love... and my Editor's Page was pretty spectacular this time, if I do say so myself. Which I do.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I'M CURIOUS... which part of &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/13KZAi4" target="_blank"&gt;Rue's Pacific Northwest issue&lt;/a&gt; was your favorite??&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Here we have another edition of THIS or THAT. I've been a fan of camo jeans for awhile, but have been afraid to try the trend myself. This pair by &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/12nncWU" target="_blank"&gt;Rag &amp;amp; Bone&lt;/a&gt; is a little bit understated- making them feel like a safer bet. All I'm saying is I don't want to be dressed like &lt;a href="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbno05Rl5y1qgl7lko1_500.png" target="_blank"&gt;Buster&lt;/a&gt; from Arrested Development.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
SO, I leave it to you as a poll- &lt;i&gt;which way would you wear camo skinnies&lt;/i&gt;? Casual with brights, or with a hint of drama for a night out? All I know... is that I'm personally torn and I want to wear BOTH outfits immediately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let me know your favorite version in the comments, and if you so desire- shop the looks here:&lt;br /&gt;

So this is awkward. I said I was going to Coachella, and then I never blogged again. I really hope no one thought I died at Coachella. I definitely didn't die, I just came back really tired.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
On the final night of Coachella, there was a dust storm. I was congested for a week [and sneezing desert dust], then came down with a full on head cold that knocked me into bed-rest, then the stomach flu. So here I am like 10 years later giving you my irrelevant Coachella recap. However, I made these cute little collages on the flight home and would be so sad if I never shared them. As many of you know, I went with Lacoste Home on behalf of &lt;a href="http://www.ruemag.com/editors-picks/lacoste-home-at-coachella" target="_blank"&gt;Rue Magazine&lt;/a&gt;. Here's what happened:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cv_r2wV9dRc/UX9m7DnQK-I/AAAAAAAAF0w/Al2xiYL14iA/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cv_r2wV9dRc/UX9m7DnQK-I/AAAAAAAAF0w/Al2xiYL14iA/s640/photo+1.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;1. A bunch of cute gators ready to party. // 2. Sunset at the festival. // 3. Alexa Chung DJing [and is SO PRETTY IN PERSON I literally cannot even handle it].&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;4. Oh, just hanging out with my BFF &lt;a href="http://mrbradgoreski.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Brad Goreski&lt;/a&gt;, NO BIG DEAL. // 5. Lounging in the shade. // 6. Meeting my favorite gal ever [pinch me moment], the one and only &lt;a href="http://www.manrepeller.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Man Repeller&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;7. Danny Masterson aka DJ Mom Jeans. // 8. Elijah Wood... or is it Tim?? [hint: it's Elijah] // 9. Saying farewell to the final night.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
To read more about the party, head over to &lt;a href="http://www.ruemag.com/editors-picks/lacoste-home-at-coachella" target="_blank"&gt;Rue Daily&lt;/a&gt; for my recap.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
The festival itself was magical. Band of Horses was the best live act I've seen in awhile, and I fulfilled a lifelong dream of seeing The Postal Service. Of course- I also have to give credit to the star of my Spotify playlist, Father John Misty, for putting on an INCREDIBLE performance as usual.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Lastly, I couldn't leave you without a few outfit shots. Here is what I wore:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cj2gtpoX0-4/UX9m7IvvjYI/AAAAAAAAF00/qrTTMd5uqrQ/s1600/photo+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cj2gtpoX0-4/UX9m7IvvjYI/AAAAAAAAF00/qrTTMd5uqrQ/s640/photo+2.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Outfit 1&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;: &lt;i&gt;jacket&lt;/i&gt; Old Navy&amp;nbsp;[old]&amp;nbsp;// &lt;i&gt;top&lt;/i&gt; Zara&amp;nbsp;[old]&amp;nbsp;// &lt;i&gt;shorts&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/ZwZZEK" target="_blank"&gt;Anthropologie&lt;/a&gt; // &lt;i&gt;necklace&lt;/i&gt; Forever21&amp;nbsp;[old]&amp;nbsp;// &lt;i&gt;sunnies&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/ZWDxlC" target="_blank"&gt;Free People&lt;/a&gt; // &lt;i&gt;headband&lt;/i&gt; Handmade&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Outfit 2&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;i&gt; t-shirt dress&lt;/i&gt; Express&amp;nbsp;[old]&amp;nbsp;// &lt;i&gt;belt&lt;/i&gt; Anthropologie // &lt;i&gt;sunnies&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/ZWDxlC" target="_blank"&gt;Free People&lt;/a&gt; // &lt;i&gt;necklace&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/Zx0bE0" target="_blank"&gt;Forever21&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Outfit 3&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;: &lt;i&gt;dress&lt;/i&gt; Anthropologie&amp;nbsp;[old]&amp;nbsp;// &lt;i&gt;sunnies&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/ZWDxlC" target="_blank"&gt;Free People&lt;/a&gt; // &lt;i&gt;floral headband&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.cultgaia.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Cult Gaia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Outfit 4&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;: &lt;i&gt;jacket&lt;/i&gt; Old Navy&amp;nbsp;[old]&amp;nbsp;// &lt;i&gt;top&lt;/i&gt; H&amp;amp;M&amp;nbsp;[old]&amp;nbsp;// &lt;i&gt;shorts&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/ZwZZEK" target="_blank"&gt;Anthropologie&lt;/a&gt; // &lt;i&gt;bag&lt;/i&gt; Steve Madden&amp;nbsp;[old]&amp;nbsp;// &lt;i&gt;floral headband&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.cultgaia.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Cult Gaia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
My style theory at Coachella was super easy-going. In hindsight [&lt;i&gt;and after seeing &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/174092341818030729/" target="_blank"&gt;THIS&lt;/a&gt; street style image&lt;/i&gt;], I sort of wish I put in more effort. However, it was fun to dig into the archives of my closet and dig out some festival worthy gear. I am already counting down the days until next year...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
As always, thank you for being patient with me while I took a little blogging break. I can't wait to get back into the swing of things around here! So, on that note... I'll see you tomorrow!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

If ever there was a weekend to follow me on &lt;a href="http://www.instagram.com/kelliryder" target="_blank"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/kelliryder" target="_blank"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;, this would be it. I'm en route to Coachella to attend not only the festival, but the &lt;a href="http://lacosteliveblog.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Lacoste L!ve Pool Party&lt;/a&gt; as well. Hello, fun! Will I look half as good as Miss Bosworth? No. Will it be the best weekend ever? Probably. Am I going to be completely exhausted on Monday? Absolutely.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

I don't necessarily consider San Francisco a "&lt;i&gt;sandal friendly environment&lt;/i&gt;." Ahem... you never know what you might step in. Just being honest! But seriously, YUCK. However, the temperatures are warming up and I can't help but go back to my summer-girl roots. A fresh pedicure + new sandals is the perfect way to welcome the sunshine back to the city. I rounded up a few of my favorites from Piperlime and I must say- I'm seeing a trend. Did I choose 6 of the exact same sandal?? Maybe- but at least I clearly know what I like. Paired with jean shorts, a fun maxi-dress, or cuffed jeans- I could easily add all 6 to my closet and the woes of winter would be long gone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Which pair is your favorite?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Sometimes I feel guilty that my style is SO simple. But then I stop feeling guilty, and I get dressed for the day. Jeans, a tee, and a corresponding scarf + flats. No one can accuse you of trying too hard &lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt; you are comfortable all day. Sigh, one day I'll stop being a little old lady and start compromising comfort to dress better.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
These flats are my new "fake heels." As many of you know, I tend to stay away from heels. Not to find myself underdressed- I'm building a small collection of fancy flats. The only problem with these is the material- not ideal for springtime showers AKA flash floods. Otherwise, it's total love.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

This weekend, I had the pleasure of representing &lt;a href="http://www.ruemag.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Rue Magazine&lt;/a&gt; at an amazing 3 day event here in the city. We are working with an exciting new company, &lt;a href="http://www.joyandrevelry.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Joy and Revelry&lt;/a&gt;, and I can't wait to share details. In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to show you all the Instagram snaps from the weekend. We were at a gorgeous house in Lafayette, CA. Each designer [&lt;i&gt;or in my case, editor&lt;/i&gt;] styled three rooms using &lt;a href="http://www.joyandrevelry.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Joy and Revelry's&lt;/a&gt; unique products. There also was a little bit of a video interview... so I hope you're all prepared for that. Yikes!! All in all- it was a great weekend, I met lots of new friends, and I can't wait to show you Rue's finished product.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
How did you spend your weekend?&lt;/div&gt;

This photo is [&lt;i&gt;accidentally&lt;/i&gt;] part of an outfit post that I still haven't gotten around to uploading. And truth be told- at this moment in time... I'm simply too tired to link up the items so you can't see all of it just yet. Sometimes // ALL of the time, sleep wins. I like this picture though because I am scampering away which is pretty characteristic of me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Of course, I won't be allowing you to head into the weekend with nothing. Instead of outfit shots- I'm offering my five favorite &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/kelli_ryder/pins/" target="_blank"&gt;PINS&lt;/a&gt; of the week:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;I wish I dressed like &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/174092341817965081/" target="_blank"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I found my new &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/174092341817958943/" target="_blank"&gt;summer drink&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/174092341817958951/" target="_blank"&gt;Red shoes&lt;/a&gt; are now at the top of my shopping list. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Maybe it's time to go &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/174092341817958956/" target="_blank"&gt;back to blonde&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
This &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/174092341817958974/" target="_blank"&gt;lip shade&lt;/a&gt; needs to be in my beauty bag ASAP.&lt;/div&gt;

I've got a very exciting AND inspiring giveaway for you today! I've partnered up with an amazing company, &lt;a href="http://www.lydali.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Lydali&lt;/a&gt;, to teach you about their amazing company AND to give you a chance to win THIS cuff:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8EpIiETUZos/UVxm3y2wx4I/AAAAAAAAFxU/WvvPNAucfds/s1600/Untitled+drawing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8EpIiETUZos/UVxm3y2wx4I/AAAAAAAAFxU/WvvPNAucfds/s640/Untitled+drawing.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.lydali.com/pages/about" target="_blank"&gt;Lydali&lt;/a&gt; was founded in 2011 by two BFFs, Lydia and Ali. [&lt;i&gt;get it-- Lydali??&lt;/i&gt;] The products they sell are beautiful and one of kind. More importantly- they are produced all over the world, and when you buy a piece- you know who made it and where the profits are going. For example, the &lt;a href="http://www.lydali.com/products/bullet-and-stone-bangle" target="_blank"&gt;cuff&lt;/a&gt; you can win is constructed of "&lt;span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #232323; font-family: 'Josefin Sans'; font: inherit; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;brass of bullet casings and bombshells that have been melted down and turned into something beautiful. Crafted by home-based artisans in Cambodia, the sales of these products help unemployed and under-employed artisans to have meaningful work and reliable incomes.&lt;/i&gt;"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #232323; line-height: 25px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Their site is full of gorgeous little treasures- each and every one is accompanied with a moving story. I'm a huge fan of products and companies that are doing good in the world, and &lt;a href="http://www.lydali.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Lydali&lt;/a&gt; is at the top of that list.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I bought these boots MONTHS ago after a particularly rainy weekend in the city. They arrived the next day [&lt;i&gt;thank you, Zappos overnight shipping&lt;/i&gt;], ready to go jump in puddles and stomp through mud. And then it never rained again. For like ever. Talk about a tragedy!! Seriously though, my heart was broken.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Now, a few mornings came and went in which we woke up to rain. But by lunch time?? Sunny as can be! Never did I EVER think I would find myself annoyed with beautiful California weather. NEVER! So, you better believe I was counting my lucky stars on Sunday morning when San Francisco was the victim of a monsoon. The Hunters finally made their grand debut! I love them. They were absolutely worth the wait.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Also, I have a new obsession- this &lt;a href="http://www.realiabyjen.com/collections/spring-2013/products/crystal-wrapped-cuff" target="_blank"&gt;bracelet&lt;/a&gt;. I am over clunky bangles; this one is a nice burst of sparkle in just the right size.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Anyways, I hope you all had a great day... and be sure to come visit tomorrow- I've got a fun giveaway planned!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I recently stumbled upon these images by David Slijper while doing research for Rue's &lt;a href="http://www.ruemag.com/fashion-style/electric-color" target="_blank"&gt;Beauty Beat&lt;/a&gt;. I am a total beauty product junkie- but rarely experiment with new looks on my own face. Every day is the same: &lt;i&gt;foundation, bronzer + blush, mascara, and lip gloss&lt;/i&gt;. If I'm going out... I just add a lot of eyeliner and end up looking like Megan Fox circa 2003. Only the bad makeup part... I sadly don't get her perfectly constructed face. &lt;i&gt;Whatever&lt;/i&gt;. When I saw these gorgeous pics, I was immediately motivated to step out of my comfort zone and try a more colorful look this spring.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
The lip colors are perfection, and while the yellow and blue eyeshadow may not suit my skin tone... I can create a modified version by incorporating it on a smaller scale. A total makeover with a few strokes of a brush- genius.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
To see my favorite products to achieve these electric looks, head right &lt;a href="http://www.ruemag.com/fashion-style/electric-color" target="_blank"&gt;this way&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to Rue Daily.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I don't know how the weather is where you are, but it has been SO WARM here. My leggies are finally meeting the light of day again. Last weekend, my best friend &lt;a href="http://www.leopardandlavender.com/2012/12/my-stylish-friend.html" target="_blank"&gt;Tina&lt;/a&gt; was visiting. It was so fun showing her all of our favorite places and I was pretty thrilled that the weather cooperated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
On this day, we took a ferry to Sausalito and I could hardly wait to bust out the boyfriend shorts. Of course, living in San Francisco... I may never enjoy blistering heat again. That is why my collection of jackets + blazers is basically exploding out of my closet. I loved the feedback on &lt;a href="http://www.leopardandlavender.com/2013/02/wallis-blazer-4-ways-part-4.html" target="_blank"&gt;how I styled this Wallis Blazer before&lt;/a&gt;, SO... it's basically the same outfit again.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I love Wallis because it is so affordable, which is why I need to ask a little favor. I want to be the first US Wallis Ambassador, and need your votes to help! &amp;nbsp;Simply visit &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/Wallis/app_177914495580579" target="_blank"&gt;this link,&lt;/a&gt; and LIKE Wallis on Facebook. You can vote for me &lt;u&gt;once per day&lt;/u&gt;. I'm behind like 200+ votes, so all the help I can get would be super appreciated. ;)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
WHY do I want to be their ambassador? Because I'm a totally normal girl who can't afford to spend one million dollars on my wardrobe. Wallis gives me affordable options to make my wardrobe gorgeous, and I really like being able to share those pieces with you- my readers. SO, without being TOO BOSSY... pretty please head over to Facebook and &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/Wallis/app_177914495580579" target="_blank"&gt;VOTE for me&lt;/a&gt;! And if you feel so inclined, have some of your friends &amp;amp; family do it as well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Happy Friday... and thank you SO MUCH in advance!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

I love nothing more than when simple, classic pieces come together to make the perfect outfit. This sweater [&lt;i&gt;scored on super clearance via Piperlime&lt;/i&gt;] has quickly become my favorite got-to-go item. You know, "I really have GOT TO GO but I have nothing to wear!!" It seems to work for every occasion. Truth be told, it looks much better with my suede burgundy flats, but on this occasion we were headed to a bar and Tim scolded me for even THINKING of wearing suede shoes to a bar. Sneakers it was.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
My necklace is from &lt;a href="http://www.sweetandspark.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Sweet &amp;amp; Spark&lt;/a&gt;, this AMAZING new jewelry company you need to know about. The founder, Jillian, scours flea markets &amp;amp; estate sales coast to coast to find the best vintage jewelry available. She puts it up on her adorable website, and offers free shipping. While I love going yard sale-ing as much as the next girl.. I really have grown fond of this method. I can stay in my pajammers with a cup of coffee and pick out vintage pieces from home. Genius. Girls, you'll be glad I told you about this now because I'm fairly certain &lt;a href="http://www.sweetandspark.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Sweet &amp;amp; Spark&lt;/a&gt; is the next big thing. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
In other recent news- 2 nights ago... I treated myself to a pint of Ben &amp;amp; Jerry's. And I left it in my purse until dinner time last night. So, there's that. You know in case you were worried things were going TOO WELL over here. SIGH... looking forward to Friday much?!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
In San Francisco, it seems like you can't go anywhere without a huge carryall. [&lt;i&gt;remember&lt;a href="http://www.leopardandlavender.com/2013/01/wwl-backpacks.html" target="_blank"&gt; this post&lt;/a&gt;??&lt;/i&gt;] I feel like I'm lugging my life everywhere I go; like I've turned into some sort of crazy bag lady with 2 books and a baggie of carrots in my purse. To remedy that, I've recently started adding more clutches into my routine. At night time- all I need is my phone, credit card &amp;amp; ID, and some lip gloss- so I'm bagging the huge totes and reaching for a clutch instead. I've found a ton of inspiration on Pinterest [&lt;i&gt;above&lt;/i&gt;], and rounded up the top 6 on my wish list:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pow2y7NUwzw/UUojIMHsiBI/AAAAAAAAFsw/Z5lZm0zcDIo/s1600/So+Clutch,+Leopard+and+Lavender2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pow2y7NUwzw/UUojIMHsiBI/AAAAAAAAFsw/Z5lZm0zcDIo/s1600/So+Clutch,+Leopard+and+Lavender2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I love when a bag has a lot of textures- it makes it so much more interesting and memorable. Plus, with print-mixing still making huge waves this season, you don't have to worry about a clutch clashing with your outfit. If anything, it will totally enhance it. Which one is your favorite??&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Happy Shopping:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If you've seen my apartment, it is no secret that I'm a huge fan of color. I love decorating my home with &amp;nbsp;bright, vibrant hues to create a light and airy space. But when it comes to my closet, more and more I find myself reaching for all black everything. It is so classic and refined, but also the easiest option.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the past few weeks, we've been working away on the new issue of &lt;a href="http://www.ruemag.com/magazine/issue/issue-eighteen#1" target="_blank"&gt;Rue Magazine&lt;/a&gt;- which just so happens to be our first ever &lt;a href="http://www.ruemag.com/magazine/issue/issue-eighteen#1" target="_blank"&gt;COLOR ISSUE&lt;/a&gt;! Needless to say, color has been on my mind in a major way, and all black everything was no longer an option. This weekend, I went for a bright cobalt blue [which IS my favorite color to wear] and knew it'd be &amp;nbsp;perfect to debut on issue release day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wearing color can be tricky, and it is important to know which colors flatter you best. Colors like dark yellows and purples really wash me out and make me look ill. Bright, cobalt blue works well with my hair and my eyes... yet you'll obviously have to take my word for it, as I refused to take my sunglasses off for these photos. But I PROMISE, wearing this color makes my eyes look super blue and awesome. Maybe awesome is an overstatement, but definitely super blue. Tell me- what are your favorite [and least favorite!!] colors to wear?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ANYWAYS... &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Today is the day!

Happy Monday! Turns out, I didn't spend the entire weekend asleep.. phew. Here's what I was up to instead:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Started the weekend early with some of my fav SF bloggers- &lt;a href="http://kimair.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Kim&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.sarahsambitions.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Sarah&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://savvyinsanfrancisco.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Melissa&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://fashionistalab.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Adelle&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/FashionPRSF" target="_blank"&gt;Lindsay&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Fell in love with this new &lt;a href="http://www.a-thread.com/collections/bracelets/products/love-friendship-bracelets" target="_blank"&gt;a-thread bracelet&lt;/a&gt;. I decided I'm over clanky bracelets, so this is a nice replacement. :)&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I went all matchy-matchy at brunch. Full outfit post coming tomorrow! On a side note, I think we can all agree that mimosa has WAY TOO MUCH PULP.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

I'm a bit of a flower fanatic, and loving how the bright hue of this orchid pops against the dark grey wall.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Hope your Monday was great and productive and wonderful and a plethora of positive adjectives. My laptop has literally never run so slow in its life, so I'm going to go throw it out the window now.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Or at least close it until tomorrow. See you then!!&lt;/div&gt;

You guys. I don't know what it was, but this week totally did me in. I'm SO exhausted and brain dead and done.&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Done-zo-tron&lt;/i&gt;. After my morning meetings, I am getting back into my pajamas and likely staying in them until Monday.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UzO4riucZH4/UULnC6qClhI/AAAAAAAAFqc/9A7RBcB4yR8/s1600/9f65c216b5b0bec7d1c1a9549df6ce01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UzO4riucZH4/UULnC6qClhI/AAAAAAAAFqc/9A7RBcB4yR8/s1600/9f65c216b5b0bec7d1c1a9549df6ce01.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
While that isn't entirely true, I do hope my weekend includes a Holly Golightly-esque sleep mask and some snuggle time with the cats. And what I really mean is that I want to sleep until 1pm on Saturday. Just joking, that's absurd. I meant to say I want to sleep until FOUR pm.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Of course, I wouldn't lead you into the weekend without some sort of entertainment...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
so here are my &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Five Favorite Pins of the Week&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I have a feeling that &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/174092341817828907/" target="_blank"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; is going to be my go-to outfit for summer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
The next apartment or house we live in will have a bedroom just like &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/174092341817826381/" target="_blank"&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I need to find a way to make a vacation happen &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/174092341817816251/" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
As a self-diagnosed pretzel addict, I can't wait to test out&lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/174092341817816238/" target="_blank"&gt; this recipe&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;... and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/174092341817839536/" target="_blank"&gt;this quote&lt;/a&gt; reminded me the power and beauty of hard work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, and I'll see you on Monday!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Remember a few weeks ago when I was in &lt;a href="http://www.leopardandlavender.com/2013/02/views.html" target="_blank"&gt;Lake Tahoe&lt;/a&gt; for Rue? I am so glad to finally share the story I was working on! &lt;a href="http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/LakeTahoe/Default.htm" target="_blank"&gt;The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe&lt;/a&gt; recently put 23 luxury penthouses on the market; two of which were designed by &lt;a href="http://jeffersdesigngroup.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Jay Jeffers&lt;/a&gt;. Not only was I able to experience all of the luxuries that the Ritz has to offer [&lt;i&gt;which was heaven&lt;/i&gt;], but also tour the Jay Jeffers penthouses. They were beyond incredible. Here are a few photos:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Jay really redefined the definition of "mountain lodge." With mixed textures, unexpected wallpapers, and maybe the most amazing light fixtures I've ever seen... I would literally move in in a heartbeat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

First off, I need to thank Miss Sarah of &lt;a href="http://www.sarahsambitions.com/2013/03/13/getitgirl-interview-kelli-ryder/" target="_blank"&gt;Sarah's Ambitions&lt;/a&gt; for featuring little old me as a #Getitgirl. I am so humbled to have been chosen, and love how the story turned out! To read my interview and learn how I became a #Getitgirl, visit her adorable blog &lt;a href="http://www.sarahsambitions.com/2013/03/13/getitgirl-interview-kelli-ryder/" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

With ambitious girls on the brain, I turn my &lt;i&gt;Wednesday Wish List&lt;/i&gt; to the brilliant sisters behind &lt;a href="http://www.dannijo.com/" target="_blank"&gt;DanniJo&lt;/a&gt;. I am totally in awe of their creativity, and obsessed with their style. The duo behind the brand, Danielle and Jodie Snyder, grew up in Jacksonville, FL. Their passion for jewelry began at a young age and quickly exploded into a worldwide sensation. UM, Beyonce is a customer. Enough said.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Now the girls reside in New York City [&lt;i&gt;and hang with the likes of &lt;a href="http://www.manrepeller.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Leandra&lt;/a&gt;, swoon&lt;/i&gt;]. I have loved watching their line grow each season, and am basically DYING to add one of the pieces below to my collection:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

You may be thinking "Kelli, I thought you wore plain grey t-shirts every day??" You know what, YEP- I do. But you add a DanniJo piece to a grey t-shirt and suddenly you may as well be Beyonce. Sure, these necklaces are above and beyond what my meager budget can handle... but isn't that what a WISH list is for?!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

Tell me- which one of these sea-green statement makers is your favorite??&lt;/div&gt;
