Following in Gwyneth Paltrow's Goopy footsteps, Reese Witherspoon is the latest celebrity to launch an e-commerce site devoted to lifestyle content.
On Tuesday, the actress announced that the site is called "Draper James," named after her grandparents — Dorothea Draper and William James.
In a video posted on the site, Witherspoon explains that her new project was "inspired by my love of the South, combined with the modern woman who I am today."
“Draper James is all about the grace and charm I was raised with in Nashville, Tennessee," she continued. "In the South you can never be too kind, too gracious or too well dressed... With Draper James, our goal is to bring contemporary, yet timeless Southern style to your wardrobe and your home, no matter where you live."
The site is very girly and very Southern.
And while the price point usually falls below Blake Lively's Preserve and Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop e-commerce sites, it will still set customers back $98 for a "horseshoe object."
And $155 for a "Totes Y'all" bag does seem a little steep.
According to Racked, "Witherspoon told WWD that 40% of Draper James's products are produced in the South, and she's planning to roll out five new collections each year. The sportswear runs from $50 to $400, jewelry is priced from $25 to $250, handbags and small leather goods will sell from $40 to $325, and home decor ranges from $14 to $400."

The internet, so far, has responded kinder to Witherspoon's site than it has to Gwyneth's Goop:

But there are, of course, also the critics:
Can we call Reese Witherspoon's new lifestyle website POOP and be done with it http://t.co/18kJ0ki4KX

First Gwenyth with #GOOP. Then came Jessica Alba with #TheHonestCompany. Now Reese Witherspoon joined in with #DraperJames. Oh brotha....
