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!

  •   monday morning encouragement: i’m so tired

      I’m so tired. That’s the cry heard round the world on Monday mornings & it echoes throughout the day & into your life. I’m so tired, aren’t you? But I’m not just talking physically, or mentally from lack of sleep. I’m talking in general. I’m so tired of feeling overweight.  I’m so tired of…

  • abbey kay & aw flowers

                                                        The earth laughs in flowers. That’s a famous quote by some guy named Emerson & I only know that because it’s the favorite saying of my friend Amanda who owns her own floral design company, AW Flowers. She’s builT the company…

  • monday morning encouragement: wear the floral crown

      Oh, I bet you thought I’d flake out & forget to send you all some love to start your week out well. I’ll probably forget one day sometime in the future, but no, no, no, not today kids. Not today. Because today is important, it’s the first day of the long week ahead. It’s the…

  • what i’m loving: vol. 1

    As someone who is totally guilty of spending a ton of time on social media, browsing online articles, trolling the Internet, & drooling over etsy shops, I tend to let my heart pitter patter over too many things I don’t really need. But some of it is too dreamy to keep to myself, so I…

  • monday morning encouragement series

       Monday mornings are always such a drag around these parts. They’re my hardest work day of the week right now & it’s not because I’ve just come out of the freedom of the weekend. It’s just a tough mixture of work I deal with on Mondays & by that evening I’m usually really upset,…

  • abbey kay turns three & big changes ahead

                                  This weekend my blog turned three whole years old.  I can’t believe that I started this journey that long ago. I was just 19 years old when I decided to jump onto the fashion blogging train, and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I started out…

  • l’occitane review

      When I got back from a trip to LA this last February I was on a hunt to find & start using all natural products. A city like that of Angels will do that to you, but it also honestly made most sense to me. I mean, if my body is my own &…

  • so worth loving & abbey kay 

                                  Have you ever had an out of body experience? Okay, I’m not talking the super creepy floating spirit kind. I’m just saying like the kind where you can’t believe something is actually happening to you because the situation is just too good to be true. Well, I experienced something…

  • midtown & community shoot

                                        A few weeks ago I had a friend named Taylor who is a photographer randomly text me on a Sunday afternoon & ask if I was up to anything. I said that I wasn’t because I hardly ever am & she asked if I wanted to do a shoot in our midtown area that…

  • abbey kay takes on the south

    If you know me at all (or even just through this blog) then you probably know my love for Georgia. I’ve been going there almost every summer since I was a kid to visit my parent’s best friends who are basically family to us. I’ve had many adventures throughout the state & so much of…
