Style It!: A Pretty Shelf

via Anthropologie.com

Prop styling is one of those careers you never hear about in college when you're trying to decide on a major. For me, it took packing and unpacking countless boxes of props as a magazine intern to find out that I loved the process of picking out props for a photo shoot. Who knew that every detail in a picture, down to the books sitting on the shelf in the background, was hand picked to make the picture look great? 

That being said, why not fill you shelves with great looking books?? I fell in love with these embossed canvas books by Penguin the moment I saw them. I was even more excited to find out that they are readily available at Anthropologie! For the little ones in your life, they now even carry a line of childrens' classics - perfect for any nursery.
