monday morning encouragement: heeey! what you do matters
Today has just been one of those days. Stayed up too late. Slept in too long. Drank my wake-up ritual warm lemon water when it had already turned cold. Finished my morning coffee just before noon. Everything was delayed & behind, but I somehow managed to squeeze a cooked breakfast in amongst all the chaos…

monday morning encouragement: you don’t have to have an excuse
You don’t have to have an excuse. Did you know that? You don’t have to have an excuse to give to people to satisfy their need for an explanation about your life. Did you follow that? That basically means… If you’re sad, be sad. No excuse needed. If your life is crazy, then it’s…

monday morning encouragement: what are the odds?
What are the odds that you’ll wake up to 8 inches of snow the day after Easter? That was my town’s reality today. Waking at 6:30am to a springtime wonderland & having it still be falling hours later. The weather here is so unpredictable & we’ve even had snow in July before. Sunny one…

why i chose to write about life, style, & encouragement
It’s been about nine or so months since I switched the direction of my blog over from daily outfits to more writing & fuller content. I added in weekly encouragement posts, styled photo shoots, posts on where I’m at in life, & some random things in between. Fashion has been a love of mine…

monday morning encouragement: what in life is truly worth it?
Eventually we all come to a point in our lives where we question whether or not the time, money, or energy we spent on something was truly worth it. We wonder where things went wrong, or how we could have done some other things better. We overthink different choices that we may not have thought…

a winter recap & snowy photoshoot
I can’t believe it’s already the middle of March. Spring is in the air & summer dreaming is right around the corner. I’m someone who says she only likes certain seasons, but as soon as the next one is about to roll around I can’t wait for it to begin! So before it’s all…

monday morning encouragement: don’t fear the unexpected because sometimes it leads to the bits of good that life knows you need to see
I am someone who hates the unexpected. I don’t like when things become out of routine. I don’t like when things change last minute. I don’t do well when new circumstances just seem to pop up out of no where. I don’t handle any of these situations well. And lately, I feel like when…

the lace-up trend & where to buy them
Last summer the free spirited & scandalous style of lace-up tops came onto the scene & were everywhere. Basically it’s a top or dress or blouse that literally laces up the front or side like that of a shoe, just more feminine & definitetly sexier. The lace-up addition can be anywhere from a few inches to even as…

monday morning encouragement: you just gotta be real
Let’s be real for a sec, I am not a morning person. I like staying up late. I hate waking up. And I’m not someone who feels fully alert until mid afternoon. So why in the heck do I even offer a series of posts called Monday morning encouragement? I should really write posts around…

a letter to myself: hey you, know what you’re worth
This post isn’t for you today. It’s for me. I need a reminder. I need to tell myself a little something. So here I go… “Hey you, know what you’re worth.” Did you hear me? Know what you’re worth. Because I think you sell yourself short all the time. You get so wrapped up in…
Welcome to Abbey Kay — a place to be filled with encouragement through real life struggles, a source to ethical fashion & trendy finds, & a guide to my life in Reno, NV.
A few things about me: I desperately want others to know they are seen, heard, & not alone. I believe you should love your body at every stage in life. I think finding a balance in everything you do is more important than striving for perfection. I will always drink black coffee & never not have black nails. I try my best to be open, honest, & real by showing up for others.
Always know that life is unpredictable, but it’s still worth experiencing every up & down it has to offer.
I’m so glad you’re here & can’t wait to connect!
Be encouraged. Be inspired. Be seen.
