The Back-Story (aka My Hidden Secrets)

okayyy. So I know the title kind of makes this whole post seem like I'm going to reveal my deepest darkest secrets, but sorry to say, it's not. (though maybe another day?? okay, probably not that either.) But having read the comments you all have left for me (THANK YOU SO MUCH! :)) I have noticed a similar trend in the theme of some of the questions:
The PortugueseAnd mainly why I use portuguese words in my posts.
Well, I guess you could say it all started when God decided to bring me into this earth... but thats a little boring now isn't? It really began when I lived in Sao Paulo, Brasil. Having lived there for Five years, portuguese was kind of second-nature to me, and now, 4 years after having moved from Sao Paulo, I want to acknowledge that part of me. 

hehe. Lovely dogs on the dress yes?

Besides the fact that the picture above proves that I was an absolutely, incredibly, flawlessly adorable child (okay, I inflated that description a little bit) who obviously enjoyed dogs - enough to have a dress with them on it - I would be categorized by a teacher at school as a "menina elegante" or stylish girl. Hence the name of this whole blog as Menina Elegante! (so if I ever get copyrighted, I guess it does go to this teacher....... Though I don't even remember her name. Oh well!) 

Though now I do currently live in Switzerland, and I am obsessed with all things French, Portuguese has stuck with me. Another word I use a lot is beijos or kisses (or bisous en francais!). Its kind of a way you say goodbye before you go off and live the rest of your day. 

And so now you all know. :) And if you have any questions, please holler.

and as for those pictures from Milan, well then stay tuned!! 

beijos!!
