Happy Monday! Want to see me in a black bodysuit? Ha! But first…
Abbot Kinney is a trendy street in Venice Beach with fresh food, a hipster vibe, handmade jewelry and trendy boutiques. LOVE to go there for lunch/brunch.
We had…you guessed it, acai bowls. I’m not even going to show you another photo. I DO eat other things but cravings are real things, people. I like the fake grass floor on this place but kept looking at a small dog sniffing around a couple of tables away from us and wondering. 
Well, after looking at these photos at home, I realized a black body suit is basically what I’m wearing. The top is a non-materinty workout top that I LOVE and the pants are non-maternity cropped pants from Marshalls. Not. Hiding. Anything here! We went out to lunch after a nice dog walk and this is the kind of stuff I stuff myself into for exercising. 
This dog’s owner was sitting on a stoop feeding her dog ice cream. I’m not showing Charlie this photo.
I’m playing with some Totally Rad presets (B&Ws) and A Beautiful Mess presets for Lightroom.
Save this for those overwhelming days when you

Christina Warren says
LOl Thanks, Ashley!
Jessica (Coco/Mingo) says
You look beautiful in your black body suit, hot mama!! This post has also made me officially miss acai bowls. Back home in Hawaii, I would liiiterally eat one for lunch every. single. day. I got so good at making them at home too! Can’t find a decent one here in NY – plus, it’s not so good when you’re freezing cold! boo!
Christina Warren says
Thank you, Jessica! Oh the acai bowls! I’m a connoisseur now and I do make them at home. Post to come soon! I know, it’s one of those things you want every day when it’s warm.

Can you believe I’ve never been to Venice Beach?
Have a great week!
Christina Warren says
WHOAH! WHAT!!! That’s cray talk! Well, there are lots of neighborhoods I would still like to get out to in LA. Food trucks are my next goal though!

Thanks, Rowena! That’s a really nice point! These really hit the spot while being sweet but nutritious too. Thank you!!! Happy Monday!
Becca Dorr says
My SIL almost always wore black leggings and a black maternity tank top – for pretty much 2 years. So, I’d say you’re doing it right.
Christina Warren says
Aw yea…that will be me in the fall! I’m sure I’ll be rocking the “athletic” look for a while. Every mom here wears Lululemon and totes a Starbucks. I’ve tried their pants and they feel like tourniquets!
Thanks, Becca!
jackie jade says
that doggy with the ice cream – so cute! and love your black bodysuit look. very pregnant ninja
Christina Warren says
Bhahahah. I totally want to be a pregnant ninja. Many people talk to me about the belly at the grocery store and I am trying to be incognito sometimes, ya know? I’ve got to bust out the mumu.
Meg @Life, Love and The Webers says
Girl, you look amazing! I wish I looked that good in a black body suit!
Christina Warren says
Pwahahah. Hey, black is magical…so is spandex!
I’m just resisting the maternity wardrobe!
Abby says
I would love to live in a place like this… it just seems so exciting, welcoming, and creative, too! You are looking wonderful, mama! I love the “body suit” look on you… you’re so fit you pull it off well, my friend!!
Christina Warren says
You would LOVE it here! In Venice Beach alone, you could take like a thousand photos and not know that they were all from the same place. It’s SO creative. There are alcoves with rose walls, graffiti etc. Thank you for the complement! I’ll take them all right now!
withluckblog says
look at how cute you and your baby bump are! I wish my town had more places like the one you described. I think in the end I just REALLLLYYY miss living near water!
Christina Warren says
Living near the water does have an interesting affect on places, huh? This place is so eclectic. I love Melrose or Hollywood too (a bit iniand) and they have a different vibe. Thank you!
