Jennifer Garner appears on the cover and between the pages of the January issue Elle Canada.  I’ll admit, I’m not a huge fan of most of Garner’s films, but she always looks great in that clean, fresh-faced way and while some may say she’s far from being a fashion icon, I’d have to disagree.  She may not have that in-your-face style, but I think that’s because she’s more of a subtle beauty, refined and classy.  It’s no wonder Glamour magazine named her one of the “Women of the Year” for 2007.  It’s truly a title she deserves. Unfortunately, the airbrushing on the cover isn’t up to par and doesn’t do her justice. 

In the interview with Elle, Garner gushes on motherhood and fashion:

Jennifer on her favorite style icons:

“Coco Chanel and Cate Blanchett.”

Jennifer on her favorite go-to designers:

“Marc Jacobs and Derek Lam, and I love Stella McCartney!”

Jennifer on her fashion weakness:

“I have a real issue with Stella’s coats. I’m so glad I’ll be in New York for part of the winter because I can at least validate my Stella McCartney purchases.”

Jennifer on her favorite beauty must-have: 

“Neutrogena lip balm.”

On motherhood:

“Motherhood changes you. Missing out on that would be something I couldn’t bear.”

Jennifer on her philosophy of life:

“Happiness is your own responsibility.”
