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!

  • crop it

    Got a shirt you don’t really like anymore? Crop it. Got a sweater that just doesn’t go with your style? Crop it. Got an old t-shirt that you love but never wear? Crop it. The shirt that I wore yesterday used to be a three quarter sleeve shirt & I got it from Forever 21.…

  • red balloons for ryan

    Yesterday I teamed up with the girls of Coast to Coast Central for their bi-weekly #coasttocoastchallenge on Instagram. The ladies & myself wore the color red the rally behind a family who lost their 3 year old son tragically a week ago today. You can follow the tag #redballoonsforryan to learn more about the story.…

  • staircase fab

    So most days my dad takes my outfit pictures. We’ll head out real quick after dinner & find a shaded wall or cool background that makes the outfits pop & we’ll snap a few shots. But some days we’re in opposite directions & our schedules don’t cross paths & then I’m in a dilemma. Except…

  • hello america

    I was all about the red, white, & blue yesterday. From my blue starry Hello Apparel shirt to my loud plaid pointed toed flats. I was dressed for the 4th of July…on the 6th of May. Whatever. You can dress however you want whenever you want! And yesterday I was rocking the summer boho anthem…

  • tyler the photographer

    My brother took these pictures. He thinks he’s super talented & artsy. Don’t let him fool you. As you can tell by these pictures. He’s not. So not. But please don’t tell him that because it’ll crush his little artistic spirits! So just pretend that these are the best outfit pictures you have ever seen.…

  • stripes are for hipsters

    Stripes are for hipsters. At least that what I hear people say to me every time I’m wearing them. Which happens to be quiet often. I just love stripes! I mainly stick to the classic black & white ones. But Sundays outfit consisted of some fierce red & black ones on a crop too tee…

  • springtime

    It’s spring time around these parts! And if this outfit doesn’t show that, then I don’t know what will. These shorts were a super sweet six dollar item I snagged when I lived in Utah for a few months after I graduated. They have since been one of my favorite pairs along with the copy…

  • 50’s me

    I wore my hair up yesterday….AND I ACTUALLY LOVED IT! That’s a first for me. I hate not having my hair down. But the way I curled it hair made it bounce in a ponytail & it made me feel like a 1950’s cheerleader. Especially because of what I was wearing. I wore a simple…

  • the gatsby

    Today is the day that I announce the winner of the giveaway I’m doing with Valery Brennan of With Love From Rigby. She’s a lovely lady that I met through Instagram who hand makes these gorgeous Gatsby inspired headbands. They are seriously so adorable! She concocted me about a month ago & asked if I…

    This week I’ve watched too many babies to count & haven’t even gotten dressed until like 3 o’clock each day. Its been the worst. I feel like I now know the struggle of all stay at home moms! Having to constantly put the needs of the kiddos way before your own. I think being a…
