Just got new books for my kindle and also have been addicted to The Grand Budapest Hotel’s soundtrack!!! Was obsessed with Moonrise Kingdom’s OST when I was 18, which was quite some time ago. But listening to Wes Anderson’s OSTs again feels refreshing!!

My mother loved making brother/sister outfits for me and my younger bro. Here we are with our maternal grandparents. We are 2 and 3 most likely? Looking at this photo, I can almost smell my grandma's perfume again. Her hugs and scent were overwhelming. #tbt #childhood #memories #sensememory #familia #grandparents
