Now Witherspoon invites you into her world, where she infuses the southern style, parties, and traditions she loves with contemporary flair and charm. She shares delicious recipes, favorite southern traditions, magical Christmas mornings, and more. She shows you that there can be a southern side to every place in the world. -- adapted from jacket and introduction.

So colorful and fun! submitted by jgetty on June 29, 2021, 12:58pm We love Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde movies, and this book is fun and colorful just like her (or, at least, the character that she portrays!). We loved all of the photos, so colorful! This book is pure eye candy! Enjoy!
