Jennifer Garner Kisses Seraphina During an American Girl Visit

Jennifer Garner kissed her youngest daughter, Seraphina, on the cheek yesterday as they left the American Girl store in LA.

Jennifer Garner kissed her youngest daughter, Seraphina, on the cheek yesterday as they left the American Girl store in LA. The mother and daughter had a family friend along for the outing, and were spotted leaving with a shopping bag and a doll. It's the second visit Jennifer has paid the store in so many weeks, but last time, Violet Affleck joined her mom for the toy stop.

Jennifer is enjoying some downtime after spending the early part of last month making the press rounds for her family film, The Odd Life of Timothy Green. She had baby Samuel by her side during her promotional stop in NYC and headed back to LA just in time to celebrate Ben Affleck's 40th. Jennifer's next movie will be a big departure from Odd Life. The trailer for Butter promises a heavy dose of satire as Jennifer plays a woman convinced her butter-carving talents can make her a political star.

The next week will be busy a one for Brit as she gears up for the Sept. 12 debut of The X Factor. She touched on more personal topics with the magazine, though, including her style and how she met Jason. Here are highlights from Britney Spears in Elle:

  • Britney on her style: "I love my jeans and my sweats — I'm really just a tomboy at heart. So it's really hard for me to be like Kim Kardashian and be makeup- and hair-ready every time I go out of my house. I'm not a believer in that, you know? On the other hand, when you do wear those sweats, you're like, 'Oh God, I should step it up a notch.'"
  • Jason on how he and Britney got together: "It was kind of one of those things where she moved, like, turned around, so we were face-to-face, and then . . . "
  • Britney adds: "Okay, that's enough information, sweetie. It was sweet, just say that."
