Grace & Charm

We have all watched Reese Witherspoon go from Legally Blonde star to an Academy Award-winning actress, she's the mother of three and a wife to one of Hollywood's top agents. She also launched her new line back in May, Draper James, to honor her past and allow others to embrace the beauty and style and excitement that embodies what is happening in the South today. And just when I thought I couldn't love Reese Witherspoon anymore. DJ offers an affordable mix of high-low dressing, and she can be spotted out and about in pieces from the ready-to-wear collection mixing and matching items from designers such as Céline, Saint Laurent and Valentino among others for the perfect polished touch. The Nashville-raised actress, which explains why Nashville will be the home of the DJ store opening this Fall, named the brand after her grandparents, Dorothea Draper and William James Witherspoon. Head over to Draper James to read more on Reese's personal style and how Southern women approach fashion! 


"In the South you can never be too kind, too gracious or too well dressed... "
RW






"The South is a very lively, stylish place. There is always a backyard party, a luncheon, or a family celebration that calls for getting dressed up!"
RW






"When I return to Nashville with my own family, I wanted to recapture and celebrate all that I love and remember about my grandparents and the South. That is why I created Draper James."
Reese Witherspoon

The Trend to Try

Every morning when you wake up and get ready for the day, the looming decision of what to wear hits you. What you decide on can make a difference in how you feel when you finally step out for the day - sometimes the best part about getting dressed is what goes on your feet. Which is why many people are turning towards sneakers. That's right, I said sneakers. Sneakers are everywhere right now and this season they are one of the must shoe trends to try even if you don’t label yourself the sporty type, I swear the sneaker can become part of your go-to shoe selection. Whether you love color or tend to gravitate toward the neutrals, there is a sneaker out there for you! And I can't forget the #1 reason as to why I am absolutely taking advantage of this trend - comfort! The older I get the more I love comfort, especially after having foot surgery last year. Now, that's not to say I don't have my share of heels, but some days are just better when you're wearing a sneaker. From the runway to the street, see how easy it is to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe!
