I'd rather be doing any of these... 

1.reading a book, especially if its out in the sun

2. taking a rediculous amount of polaroids just for funsies

3.crafting

4. roaming around nyc in style

5. searching for unicorns

6. napping

...than serving ice cream. 

[but sadly, its a necessity if #4 ever wants to happen...]

book worm

I love books. My favorite kinds are 'coffee table books,' aka ones that fancy homes have casually lying around the house making them look well-read. I also love books that are beautifully covered and bound. I was browsing the newest anthropologie catalog and discovered the vast selection of books they offer, and decided to share some of my favorites with you! Most of these can be found on anthropologie's website, but they all can be found on Amazon as well! From fashion books, to novels, to travel, to pure entertainment, maybe you'll discover a gift or two for the book worm on your shopping list this year!

Fun reads from anthropologie:

  

these classic books are instantly updated with fresh covers to give a chic look worthy of displaying!
