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!

  • brand new me: abbey kay

    Let’s talk about me & the new look of this blog! I’ve been meaning to do this for awhile because of recent heavy traffic & felt that right now was the best time to do so. I have completely restyled and renamed my blog. Everything is new! From the name, to the web address, to…

  • Styling Shelby: Round Three

    Let’s talk about styling Shelby, again. And again, and again, and again because I don’t ever think I could talk about her enough. My obsession with her is real guys. It really is. But sadly, this is my last styling post all about her! Tears, I know. But I’m sure I’ll do more style shoots…

  • Oversized Cardigan Sweaters

    Let’s talk about oversized cardigan sweaters. They have became my favorite fad for the colder parts of fall heading into ice cold winter. I had none just a few weeks ago & have recently acquired quite a few of them. It started with a random find of one, into buying another, receiving 3 from my…

  • Tie-Dye Dress

    Let’s talk about tie-dye! I hate it. I’ve always hated tie-dye. And my friends would always make me partake in tie-dye parties where we turned beautiful white tees and things into colorful bursts of color. I hated it… I really, really did. Until, I discovered the wonderful dark side of tie-dye. Oh my! It’s gorgeous…

  • Black & White: Stripes

    Let’s talk about black and white striped shirts. Can a girl ever have too many of them? The answer is no. No, no, no, heck no!! I love black and white striped shirts and they honestly are all different! Different cuts, different fits, different looks, different widths. They are different guys, I promise. And I…

  • An Outfit a Day…

    Let’s talk about daily outfits! Silly thing to mention right? Well, I wear “outfits” every day. To me, an outfit isn’t just throwing on some clothes and calling it good, but instead actually putting some thought into how each piece will look/go together. I obviously love doing this since I do it everyday. But everyday…

  • Styling Shelby: Round Two

    Let’s talk about my sister in law Shelby for a bit. If you know me, then you already know I talk about her like non-stop because she is one of my most favorite people in this entire world! She’s so kind and caring and supportive. And she laughs at all my jokes, some of which…

  • Patterned Scarves & Sweaters

    Let’s talk about patterned scarves & sweaters for a bit. We all love sweaters & we all love scarves. But sometimes we all get in fashion funks where we wear the same outfits the same way all of the time. Especially scarves! And I’ve discovered that lots of girls are afraid of patterned pieces which…

  • Hair Has Style Too

    One of my favorite things about having a fashion blog and taking outfit pictures just about every day is that you get to see how your style and self change over time. One particular change that has been fun to watch is my hair! I seem to have had many different hair styles over the…

  • Styling Shelby

    Last weekend I asked my sister in law if I could go into her closet, put together outfits, and doll her all up for a fashion photo shoot taken by yours truly. She complied and it was the best ever! Shelby is a receptionist at a doctor’s office and wears scrubs to work everyday. She…
