Be encouraged. Be inspired. Be seen.


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!

  • i’m so fancy la

    This outfit was from my first day in la & I haven’t felt so fancy since. I rocked this look all over Melrose & onto Rodeo drive. This trench coat blazer is probably my most favorite piece I currently own. The color is so classic & the side slits make it extremely flattering. I scored…

  • abbey kay takes la

  • how accessories can change your look

    I used to accessorize like crazy. Necklaces, earrings, scarfs, belts, you name it, I wore it. Sometimes all at once. Then I cut back a bit. Then I took part in it again & over did it (like layering/bulging/what-the-heck-am-I-even-wearing type accessories). So then I stopped again almost completely. Now, I believe I’ve mastered the ability…

  • tips & tricks to packing like a pro

    As some of you already know, I am heading out next week to take a quick vacation to LA. My super awesome older brother bought me the trip for a birthday/Christmas present & I feel like I owe him the world right now. I am so excited to get to take a few days off…

  • mid-winter “treat yoself” list

    It’s only just under three weeks since Christmas took place & I’m sure we all got more than we could have bargained for. But it’s not too late for eyeing & wanting some new things now is it? I don’t think so! I’m really good at forgetting to mention things during the holidays that I’ve…
