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!

  • metallic & peplums

    Let’s talk about my New Year’s Eve outfit. I didn’t end up going out. My brother & I stayed in eating wings & watching movies & I was perfectly okay with that. But I still wanted to dress like the rest, all glitz & glam! A few weeks ago I bought a pair of metallic…

  • new year’s eve

    Let’s talk about the cliché New Years Eve posts about the year that is about to pass. For starters, I hate the word cliché, absolutely hate it. I just do & that’s just that. I also just don’t like the whole glory behind “ringing in” a new year. As my friend Camille Glanzmann wrote about…

  • vests & thrifting

    Let’s talk about my little varsity vest that I thrifted last week at my local Plato’s Closet. I saw it hanging in the men’s section & I just knew I had to have it! It was black & had yellow detailing & I immediately had so many outfits ideas at first glance. It was only…

  • floral kimono

    Let’s talk about my new floral kimono that I just wore yesterday! A kimono is a traditional Japanese garment that both men & women have been known to use. Best way to describe it is that it basically looks like a fashionable robe. It’s honestly the cutest ever & I couldn’t resist buying it when…

  • poi: green & cream

    Let’s talk about another Pinterest outfit inspiration that I created this past weekend! It wasn’t exactly spot on, but it just helps to show you that outfit re-creation doesn’t have to be completely perfect! I just loved the combination of the outfit I saw & wanted to wear something pretty close to it. As you…

  • my everyday make-up routine

    Let’s talk about my everyday make-up routine! I get compliments when I’m out & about all the time on how my make-up looks pretty. Not me or my face, but my make-up! Haha cracks me up. Anyway, I thought I’d share with y’all what my basic make-up routine is for most days & the products…

  • new trends to love

    Let’s talk about some new trends that I’ve been seeing & falling madly in love with! I wouldn’t say this is my next wish list, but these items have definitely been catching my eye lately! They’re out on the streets, in the latest magazines, & filling all the clothing racks. From shoes to bags, &…

  • pinterest outfit inspiration: cream, white, & black

    Let’s talk about another Pinterest outfit inspiration look that I did a few weeks back. Honestly, I’ve been slacking in this segment of my blog because when I commit to wearing some preconceived outfit I tend to get all tense & feel like I’m forced inside an outfit box. Anybody else feel me? Haha, well…

  • gold & triangles

    Let’s talk about my most favorite thing lately, the color gold! I don’t know where the liking came from but I AM OBSESSED! I just want gold colored things, all the gold colored shimmery things which is sooo not me. I used to hate gold things, like jewelry & such. But of course I’m always…

  • thanksgiving & vacation

    Let’s (finally) talk about my Thanksgiving day outfit! I’m so bad at posting when I get out of my normal routine. Which has been my life for the past like week & a half! I’m also on vacation now which will probably definitely throw off my posting game again! But anyway, my Thanksgiving outfit rocked…
