three shops, one outfit
So many things making a debut here on abbey kay today. Each of the items, including the shops, & their owners give me daily inspiration. These pieces were all hand picked & hand made with care & creativity in mind by an individual. That’s my favorite thing about supporting small companies, in turn you’re…

midtown adventure
I took these pictures on Saturday & I gotta say, these have to be one of my most favorite outfit shoots recently. Not just because of the outfit, let’s face it, I love all of my outfits. But because of how I spent my morning leading up to these few colorful shots. I got…

nastygal peasant top
Lately, I’ve been livin’ for the weekend. I just recently became a full-time nanny working the norm of Monday thru Friday. I change diapers, clean up spilled milk, sing songs, play cars, wipe off sticky hands, & cuddle as often as needed. But it doesn’t leave much time to pick out a cute outfit,…

let it speak for itself
One of my most favorite things about fashion is when it’s bold enough to speak for itself. When it’s daring & drastic & mysterious just in the way it’s being worn. Pieces like this tell stories the second you walk into a room. They create chatter & imagination. They make wonder & judgement. They…

lush cosmetics review
When I went to LA back in February I was able to go to my first ever Lush Cosmetics store. It was such an experience. Before then, I didn’t think much about the products I used to wash/take care of my face. I used whatever was cheapest & functional. But after visiting their Pasadena store…

a bright pop of color
It is honestly quite possible for me to wear something other than an all black outfit. These pictures are proof that I do on occasion love to wear a good solid statement piece that ends up doing all the talking for me. Black says stay away, but this color speaks loudest of all &…

all black outfit
If you’ve been following me for quite some time or (probably) even just a few posts back, then you know by now tnat black is my happy color. It truly is. I wear it most often, I feel the best when wearing it, & I feel I look my best while draped in the…

thrifting on a weekday
For about the last year now I’ve been working weekends & have had a few weekdays off. Which means I’ve had a complete opposite schedule than everybody else in my life. It’s been hard & lonely at times not being able to see the ones you love or having to squeeze in face time…

madewell dress for easter
Ever heard of the notorious brand Madewell? They’re known for their perfect leather tote bags & stylish simplistic clothing line. I’ve scoped out their shop on IG for months now & even stepped into one of their stores while in LA. I’ve been envious of them for quite some time now & indecisive me…

some spring thoughts & goals
Spring has officially been sprung for a few weeks now. And with it comes sunshine, warmer days, neighborhood walks, blooming trees, lighter nights, & new dreams. To me, spring has always been a time to think about new beginnings. You’ve let the winter cold thaw off your hibernated mood & you’re ready for adventure…
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.
