She was also proudly female and talked about her production company and how she created it to have better representation of and better roles for women, both on the screen and behind the scenes. The whole thing was so fun and perfect for the book beverages were even served in teacups!ĭuring the event, Reese shared stories from her childhood (like churning ice cream by hand) and lessons from her mom (“pretty is as pretty does”). The whole thing felt like a private conversation with Reese and (moderator) Cleo Wade… except the theater was packed. On Monday night, I was invited to attend the book tour with Draper James (Reese’s clothing line) and I wore one of the new dresses. The panel was filmed and as soon as I see that it’s been posted, I’ll be sure to let you know.

The first was a small panel at Crate and Barrel and the second was her official book tour. I had the chance to hear her speak twice this week. She’s been on an intense press tour right now (it’s incredible the number of things she’s been up to) and spent some time in NYC promoting her book. I think it embodies a lot of women I know and respect and it certainly is aligned with Reese Witherspoon (the person and the brand). The title was a southern phrase that I wasn’t familiar with, but now that I know it, I absolutely love it! “Whiskey in a Teacup” is used to describe a woman who’s delicate on the outside but strong on the inside. (I think it’s going to be my plan for the weekend!) I’ve flipped through it and already like what I see– it’s a little bit party planning, a little bit recipe book, and a little bit memoir. I just got my copy and I can’t wait to dig into it. If you’re a fan of Reese Witherspoon, you probably know by now that her first book Whiskey in a Teacup just came out.
