Reese Witherspoon might live in LA with her husband and three kids, but the Tennessee-raised star will always be a Southern girl at heart. Indeed, the actress and producer — who’s always dressed to impress — launched Draper James in 2015, a Southern-inspired clothing and lifestyle collection.

The label is named for her grandparents, Dorothea Draper and William James Witherspoon, whom she credits for teaching her manners, hospitality
and style. Between film commitments and the opening of her second Draper boutique, in Dallas, last month (the first is in Nashville, where she keeps a home), the 40-year-old shared with Alexa the potions and pieces that brighten her world.
