Reese Witherspoon dishes on the ultimate must-haves for Southern gals

Chicken and waffles? Check. (Draper James)

Ever wondered what Reese Witherspoon keeps hidden in her purse?

It turns out she’s got everything but the kitchen sink.

In a new video promoting her Draper James “Totes Y’all” carryall, the actress-turned-designer serves up some serious Southern style with a few laughs. Sure, she’s got the usual beauty staples like lipsticks and a set of hot rollers—“Cause you can’t have flat hair!”

But the real secret to shining down south is all about the food.

Witherspoon’s unconventional tote essentials also include a chicken and waffles sandwich, a mint julep, a pie and a crock pot—because a true southern lady should be able to throw a party at the drop of a hat.
