Everyone has their favorite celebrity mom. (There’s even a People blog about everyone’s favorite celebrity moms.) There are lots of Reese Witherspoon, Gwen Stefani, Kourtney Kardashian and Nicole Richie fans out there. And, although I think all these moms are so chic and their respective kids super-adorable, I will always and forever be a Jennifer Garner celebrity mom fan.

I mean, that’s just the cutest thing ever. Also, I love how Jennifer Garner wears normal mom clothes. I’m all for Gwen Stefani wearing the stilettos holding her kid’s hand (so much admiration for that woman!), but that’s just not gonna be me—at least not all the time. I think Jennifer Garner’s down-to-earth style and lack of fussiness is really endearing.

Oh, and look! It’s Ben Affleck!

I can really think of no better example of the super-hot, no-make-up wearing mom that every other mom on the soccer field wants to skin and wear like a coat because, well, no mother of two should be able to wear sneakers and a messy hair-do and look like THAT. But, it’s Jennifer Garner, and she’s hot even in sweatpants, with adorable children and a hot husband. Suck on that, jealous wives. Cry at the sight of my blue sneakers and cropped khakis.

But this, Jen? THIS? We will never speak of this again.

(P.S. Did Rachel style you here?)

Who is your favorite celebrity mom?

Brandon and I started an Alias marathon about two weekends ago and have made it almost all the way through—finally on the fourth season.

Alias is one of my favorite shows of all time, but mostly because it was a huge high school fixture for me. I wanted to BE Sydney Bristow, or…Jennifer Garner. I cut my hair like her. I wanted to have arm strength like her and mostly—I wanted her on-screen (and off-screen) boyfriend, seen above.

While watching the series, I was again reminded too of how completely beautiful Melissa George was in the series (playing good-girl-gone-bad Lauren Reed) and why so many Alias fans rooted for her, even as she tried to kill…almost everyone.

We used to have Alias nights at my house and invite a few friends over and my mom would make popcorn and my sister and I (well, mostly my sister) would make cookies and we’d all sit around and watch. So fun.

There are a few things I can look back during my four years of high school and say, without a doubt, I was having fun, but Alias nights were one of them. Perhaps (definitely) more geeky, playing in the band and orchestra and taking long bus rides with my best friend Lisa and my sister to go play at concerts was another.

But, Alias still takes me back to great times and rewatching the series with my husband only reinforces the fact that this show will be one of those special ones I can always pull out from the stack of DVDs and rewatch and love.

[Also doesn’t hurt that the show has so many awesome female characters!]

And, because this is a fashion blog—here’s a look at a few of my favorite Sydney Bristow “aliases”:
