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!

  • loafer love

    Let’s talk about loafers! Loafers, also known as grandma’s shoes, have made a comeback & they are to die for! They’re a great alternative to flats & they add an edgy twist to any outfit. I bought my first pair of black studded loafers last year & after that my obsession started! I bought some…

  • big city & dreams

    Let’s talk about my new shirt! Last week I hit up one of my favorite stores ever, Forever 21 of course! I just went to browse, but totally came away with so many scores & steals! The first thing I spotted and picked up was a black muscle tank with a floral graphic of “New…

  • elements & balance

    Let’s talk about the perfect combination of elements in an outfit. Yesterday I created an awesome outfit that balanced out so well. The colors, textures, and cuts were just so perfect. I started with a grey & black raglan cotton dress & had no idea where to go from there. I didn’t wanna wear tights…

  • san francisco & laziness

    Let’s talk about being lazy after going on vacation. I’m horrible, so horrible at getting back into the swing of things after going out of town. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not the unpacking bit. I unpack my entire suitcase within 10 minutes of walking through the door. It’s just the whole routine of things.…

  • pinterest outfit inspiration

    Let’s talk about Pinterest outfit inspiration for a bit. We all do it. It’s the latest trend. We all go on Pinterest to find the coolest how to’s, DIY projects, & quick tips on how to make our live’s easier. We all get inspired by “pinning” and passing around ideas via walls & boards. I…

  • winter whites

    Let’s talk about winter whites! What reminds you of winter? Snow, of course! And snow is white so it totally makes sense to wear white in the winter. Duh! I normally don’t feel like I can pull off an all white monochromatic outfit or keep it clean all day long. Such pressure! I don’t own…

  • crew neck sweatshirts

    Let’s talk about crew neck sweatshirts today. I absolutely love the style & have been rocking it for the past few winters. It’s a great look because you’re still wearing a sweatshirt, but it’s a cute one, so bonus! I personally love wearing mine with all sorts of looks like maxi skirts & colored jeans.…

  • wedding, cali, & cousins

    On Saturday afternoon my cousin Katherine got married! Yay, congrats to her & her new hubby Josh! They live in California so my family & I took the little 4 1/2 hour drive to help celebrate the nuptials. It’s always so much fun catching up with these cousins that we never see often enough. It’s…

  • weekend packing tips

    Let’s talk about packing for a weekend trip. I don’t go on many quick little trips, wish I did though! Most my trips are week to weeks to month long adventures. When I go somewhere I like to go & stay awhile. But weekends freak me out! It’s only 2-3 days & how the heck…

  • nyx color lip balm

    Let’s talk about my most favorite color lip balm in the entire world! I have gone through so many brands of lip balm in my life. I feel that my lips grow “immune” after using certain ones for awhile & I have to switch it up & try new ones. That sounds so silly but…
