  • turtlenecks & the longline vest transitional piece 

     Can you believe that today is the last day of winter? I can’t! We didn’t have too cold of a season here in Reno, but I’m so ready for spring! Bring on the chirpin’ birds, the short sleeves, the bloomin’ trees, flow-y dresses, & the anticipation of summer! I just adore everything about transitioning…

  • leather jackets can be found under BA in the dictionary

     Edit   I’m just gonna go ahead & say it… There’s just something so bad ass about wearing a black leather jacket. I don’t care who you are, where you’re from, what social status you claim, or what generation you were born into. The leather jacket will forever be timeless & it will…

  • truself organics: detoxifying mask review 

     A few weeks ago I discovered the Truself Organics company via Instagram & was really excited to be checking out their detoxifying mask. It shipped super quickly & came in the cutest & most eco-friendly packaging. Last week, I tried out the mask for the first time & am now so glad to have crossed paths…

  • the day i wore a blazer (& liked it!)

     I’m not the business type of girl. It just ain’t me. I’m not someone who wants to dress up in office appropriate attire & sit at a computer inside a three walked cubicle all day long. I have a greater desire to work on my feet & use my imagination in my everyday work…

  • rainy day in downtown la

       Day two in LA was all sorts of fun, adventurous, feet tiring (seriously, this day killed em), & an all around knowledge about what weekend life would be like if I lived in the city. You can read about my entire trip here because this post is all the about the outfit.  I’d call…

  • the truth behind less make-up

      A few months back I wrote some thoughts on what make-up means to me & why I choose to wear it. You can read the whole thing here, but it’s main point is that wearing make-up helps make me feel most like myself. I’m someone who has been an avid make-up wearer ever since…

  • i’m so fancy la

    This outfit was from my first day in la & I haven’t felt so fancy since. I rocked this look all over Melrose & onto Rodeo drive. This trench coat blazer is probably my most favorite piece I currently own. The color is so classic & the side slits make it extremely flattering. I scored…

  • abbey kay takes la

    I’m so glad to finally be taking the time to write about my LA trip that I took last weekend. I am the slowest at getting back to a routine after any vacation or break from regular life. Ya know, that saying I need a vacation because of my vacation? Yeah, my brain automatically does…

  • how accessories can change your look

    I used to accessorize like crazy. Necklaces, earrings, scarfs, belts, you name it, I wore it. Sometimes all at once. Then I cut back a bit. Then I took part in it again & over did it (like layering/bulging/what-the-heck-am-I-even-wearing type accessories). So then I stopped again almost completely. Now, I believe I’ve mastered the ability…

  • it’s ikat-ching

    Top/ H&M Pants/ H&M Cardigan/ Forever 21 similar Tote/ Forever 21 Booties/ Old Navy In my opinion, one of the most believed fashion faux pas is that winter wear must be boring. But that is just simply not true. You don’t have to settle for just some rugged boots, long sleeve tee, & a scarf…
