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!

  • Busy Busy Days

    Holy Moly! It’s the last day of September and I haven’t even posted anything since the middle of the month. A lot has gone on since then. My weeks have been bad and stressful and just plain overwhelming. School constantly feels like a waste of my time and my job creates so much uninvited anxiety…

  • Sister Saturday

    I do not have a sister. But I’m about to get one! No, my fifty year old mother is not pregnant… Haha but my brother is about to marry the girl of his dreams!!! And I could not be more happier for them. Today we had the enjoyment of getting to go to a women’s…

  • Caring for the careless

    Good afternoon from Reno! I have listened to Taylor Swift nonstop since last night and I honestly just cannot stop listening! You see, I absolutely hate county music and will not under any circumstance listen to it voluntarily. My coworker Brittney makes us listen to it all day long at work, gross. I just don’t…

  • Love N Hate

    I’m late, I’m late, I’m late! I’m so sorry!! I was supposed to post these outfits on Friday and simply did not! I had planned on taking the pics that afternoon when I got off work but the time got away from me and I wasn’t able to take them until Sunday. I apologize for…

  • Polka Dot And What Not

    This week has been rough. So rough. Which is honestly no fun to face after such an amazing God filled weekend. I’m over my job. I’m over school. I’m over no sleep. I’m over just anything that is currently not satisfying me right now, which seems to be everything! That sounds so selfish, no? IT…

  • Coral and Sleeveless

    Crazy day today despite the same monotonous schedule. I am over the same, I want change! I think that’s why I love clothes and fashion so much because it’s a constant new adventure. Trends change, new ideas come about and every season brings something new! I m still waiting for fall weather to catch up…

  • Tribal and Denim

    My two latest obsessions have been anything denim and small accents of tribal. (I’m currently looking for a new pair of mocs!) So in this post I’ve paired them together taking a tribal patterned maxi dress and showing you how to wear different aspects of denim with it. From dark to washed out and jackets…

  • A Happy Monday

    It’s a Monday that people aren’t bummed about! Haha what a rare thing, especially for me. Monday’s to me are the beginning of a long and tiring work/school week. But today I slept in, read a good book, listened to some new music and spent most of the day alone. This weekend has been greater…

  • Don’t you know you’re not supposed to wear white after Labor Day?

    It’s Labor Day weekend!! Only reason I’m excited is because I don’t have to work or go to school on Monday! Woohoo! This first week of school was rough so it’s always nice getting an extra day to rest up and organize myself so that I can tackle this semester head on. I still hate…

  • Fall Fridays: Scarlet and Yellow (Last Post!!!)

    Summer is basically over! And it makes me pretty sad. School is starting which is always a bummer to me but I love fall time. Everything about it is just so great; the weather, the colors, the crisp clean air, just everything! I have been on a fall clothing rampage finding the most perfect pieces…
