about me

I’m the one my friends always call while standing in front of their closet trying to figure out what to wear. I have always had a passion for style and love being a go-to resource for people looking for advice. Whether you need help with what to wear or how to set a table for dinner, I'm your girl. I share all things about life, modern day etiquette and everyday style.

We had a few Kelly's in my group of friends growing up so I've always gone by my (now maiden) last name - Cerri, pronounced like (and not to be confused with) the girl on your iPhone. "Ask Cerri" was a thing way before she came along. 

Born and raised in Sonoma County, CA I live in the town of Santa Rosa with my husband, Jamie, our son, and two dogs. You’ll usually find me at happy hour (it is the best hour) with friends or exploring a new restaurant or bar that’s just opened up. I worked in retail management for ten years for companies like BCBGMaxAzria and Lacoste where I explored my love of styling while also gaining a slightly addictive shopping habit.

There are two things I love most: bringing people together and creating beautiful food, hence Gather & Graze was born! Whether you're looking for a light lunch or table spread for a party, I’ve got you covered. I create curated grazing boards for every occasion.

Feel free to share your thoughts on my posts and make sure you follow along on Instagram.
