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!

  • river garden

    Yep, it finally happened. I skipped a day of outfit posting. I was sick as a dog all day long yesterday. It was the saddest thing ever! I literally couldn’t move off the couch. Funny thing, I was still wearing a dress though… I’m just weird I guess. But I couldn’t muster up the energy…

  • monochromatic me

    I never thought I could pull off the monochromatic look unless it involved all black or just a simple dress & shoe pair. But yesterday I accidentally threw on a pair of tan faux leather shorts & cut-out flats that were literally the exact same color. So I thought I’d give it a try or…

  • salt n peppa

    I had a clever thing to say about this outfit. But the last 24 hours have hit me like a ton of unwelcome bricks smack dab in my face. And that’s just never fun to deal with. So I’ll just cut to the chase. 1. I clearly wear black & white all the time, which…

  • memorial day outfit

    Nothing screams “summer is here!” to me more than Memorial Day weekend. It was always the second to last week of school. It was always the opening weekend of our local water park. It was usually always our first lake/boat day. Summer has finally hit once we get to that 3 day BBQ’in weekend. And…

  • prison stripes

    Black & white stripes are a repeat in my closet for sure. But it’s amazing how the same colors layered on top of each other can appear so different depending on the cut & fabric of a shirt. Yesterday I wore them on a sleeveless button up blouse & they made me look like I…

  • tees for free

    Wanna know how I score free things? Easy. I shop the sales that offer it. Always! If you walk into a store & their sale section is buy one get one free then that means you can entire piece of clothing for FREE & that is just something you do not pass up. I’ll normally…

  • downtown abbey

    I have this new life goal that I dis cited late last night. I shall move downtown & start a blog called downtown abbey. Isn’t that perfect? Haha I’m just kidding. I won’t do that. But it would be a witty life dream of mine to fulfill & live out. Last night I went on…

  • patterns & prints

    Honestly, what’s the difference between a pattern & a print? I’m sure there’s some Webster definition that will depict the two. But to me patterns seem pretty like florals & prints tend to be geometric? That’s what I’m going with! Yesterday, I mixed the two in my outfit & I adored it! I repurposed a…

  • date night

    If I were to date night (lol) then this would be the outfit that I would choose to wear. Just a classic striped men’s tee, some black skinnies, point toed flats, a simple necklace along with a clutch. This would be the perfect outfit for any weeknight date. No matter what you & your honey…

  • jersey girl

    I dressed like a jersey girl yesterday. And I’m not talking about the ones with short dresses, loud mouths, & poofed up hairs. I’m talking bout that spring trend of wearing a varsity shirt that resembles a sporty jersey. Yesterday I rocked my crop top varsity tee that I got from Forever 21. Last time…
