About Me
Sunday 4th November 2012
Hello! My name is Adina Belloli. I’m a 32 year old American and moved to London, England four years ago, having previously lived in Milan and New York City. I married my soulmate Giorgio Belloli (you can follow his blog Obvious Classics) who is a luxury fashion expert having worked for brands such as Prada, Donna Karan, Chalayan and Alexander McQueen. I’m a mother to 2 gorgeous (if I do say so myself) children, Luna Marie (4 years old) and Nico (2 years old). My professional career has been in the non profit sector mainly working with disadvantaged children. However, when I gave birth to my daughter I decided to take a break and start my own business (Little Lunalu) which was an online shop selling kids clothes, toys, shoes, decor etc. It took off like a wild fire and I found myself in a position of having to invest much more in the business to meet the demand or close down. I decided to gracefully exit retail and focus on my family, blog, and volunteering instead. During that time I also had my son Nico. His first year of life was extremely stressful as he had severe reflux and asthma. We spent most of our time in and out of hospitals and doctor appointments. It was a trying time to say the least. My blog was slightly neglected during that time (so sorry friends). Slowly I’ve been getting back into the real world and it feels great. I started blogging again. I’m doing some work for the World Health Organisation and volunteering with Kids Company. Life is good! Thanks to all my family and friends for the constant support.
