Need a last-minute gift for your friend or wife or sister? We have recently transitioned the shop to the Gussy Club, our monthly subscription service. We’re currently booking Round 3, which will ship in the new year. Here’s how it works: purchase a 2-month subscription for $50 (includes free shipping) and in February and March… [Read More]
So, this pretty much sums up our lives right now. Maxwell is into EVERY.THING and basically needs to be supervised at all seconds of every moment. I’ve found that anything cardboard (an empty paper towel roll or an empty bolt of fabric) is super cool in his book, as well as my metal whisk from… [Read More]
Well, today is finally here… Today is the final day to order a Gussy, and to celebrate we’re having a 20% off sale. We have a small handful of products left to sell and my dream is to totally sell out. It’s been an incredible 5 years. I know this isn’t the end… [Read More]

I was recently invited to visit The Fabric Store, a new fabric shop in Los Angeles. It’d be silly to turn down an opportunity involving fabric, so Maxwell and I accepted the invitation and drove over. One thing I’ve learned about balancing mamahood + work is that babies looooove fabric and craft stores (just watch… [Read More]
Over the weekend we picked out our Christmas tree, a milestone for our little family of three! Maxwell was asleep in the Jeep while we were driving to a tree farm set up within the city of Los Angeles, and I thought for sure he was going to sleep through the whole thing. But… [Read More]
Our ruffled, colorful items are selling out fast — which is amazing! Which Gussy is your favorite? I’m so so grateful for your support and notes of encouragement with our transition to the Gussy club on December 17th. Be sure you read this post which outlines a ton of Gussy shop/Gussy club questions. We have… [Read More]
