Hi Cheri, let’s start by hearing
a little about yourself…
I'm an advertising art director by day. I’m hopelessly addicted to smoked salmon. Can’t say no to a cup of English breakfast tea. Love nothing more than the sound of rain on a tin roof. Always fighting off my kitty, Ninja.
Mad about
SilverFox. Love my Mum. Love hotels, particularly the five star kind! Private
butler? I wouldn’t say no. Nuts about anything coconutty. On massive journey to
taste the glorious buffet that is the world, sans guy who takes the last piece
of cake.
How did
Ms Critique come about?
I had one of those killer days at work. You know, the type where you just want to throw in the towel and just do something different?
Something
exciting! Something new! I was feeling a bit depressed and was pondering the
future over a glass of wine, when I asked SilverFox (my partner in crime) what
I was good at it. He very cheekily replied that 'I was good at giving my
opinion' (Even when it's not wanted!) Then he told me I should start a blog and
record it all. At first, I kinda brushed him off and thanked him for his 'help'
but a few glasses of wine later, MsCritique.com didn't sound like such a bad
idea!
What is
the story behind your blog’s title?
I love fads. If it's new, then I have to try it. I've always been that way. That's not to say if something is good, I'll abandon it for something else.
I've just
always been one of those people to jump on bandwagons! MsCritique gives me the
carte blanche to do just that. I can't tell you how many times
I've
pressed 'add to cart' and justified it by telling myself 'it's for the blog!'
If you
could raid any one’s wardrobe – who would it be and why?
I love Solange Knowles (the less popular sister, but now famous thanks to that security footage). I just love Solange because she rocks everything she wears. Every look is completely different but there's one thing she does really well; colour!
She's not
one to shy away from a bright pop of colour (or even a fight with her
brother-in-law) and I just love that all or nothing attitude. (Well not
the fisticuffs part!)
Do you
ever have that girly moment when you simply think ‘’I have nothing to wear?’’
Absolutely!
I can't tell you how many times, I've pulled apart my whole wardrobe and still
felt like I have nothing to wear. I think I'm getting better the older I get.
I'm more adventurous now, but also sensible with how I spend my money.
I like to
buy a few staple pieces that I'll get a few years out of, but then I refresh my
look with some affordable trend pieces too. I'm definitely more interested in
quality too, whereas in the past, it was all about quantity.
If you
could give our readers one bit of fashion advice what would it be?
Forget the 'rules' I say and wear what you like—when you like, if it makes you feel good. Sequins during the day? YES! Head-to-toe pink? WHY NOT! Harem pants even though you're not a genie! GO FOR IT!
