I just logged into this blog for the first time in over a year.  I forgot I had it with kids and life and all. But, I feel like it's something I'd really like to work on, if that's alright.  I haven't given up on Thirty-One.  Quite the opposite, really.  I'm still quite smitten!  Since the last time I was here, we've had several catalog changes.  SEVERAL.  And some policy changes as well.  

With the Spring 2015 Catalog comes a longer shopping period.  This catalog will run from December 30th all the way through July 31st.  Amazing, right?  I love this concept.  We all want what's in that catalog.  I know I'm addicted and want almost everything in the catalog.  It's hard for me to budget to get what I want and what I need when I've only got 3 months to accumulate my wealth and build my collection.  The carry-over rate was really good (usually around 80% from Spring to Summer) so that time frame made it easier.  Fall was a catalog all of it's own and usually began and ended during that period.  This time, a lot of the prints carried over.  If you've seen a Thirty-One catalog from Fall to now, I'm sure you've seen it yourself.  If not, you should send me an email so I can get one out to you!

These are the new patterns available for Spring 2015!  Aren't they adorable?  Tweetheart was here last year, of course, but in limited supply.  It's the same way this year but it comes in more than a thermal.  Yay!  I know it was one of my favorites!  And for the boys: Hop To It!  What an adorable print.  I wish it came in more styles, but maybe next time.  Thirty-One has a great way of bringing back our favorites.  A new style for this catalog is the "Around The Clock Thermal".  I can't wait to get mine in so I can show it off at all my parties this Spring.  Have you guys seen the Oh Snap Bins? Now we have the Oh Snap Pockets!  You really need to get your hands on a new catalog!

Happy Shopping!

Let the "look" speak!

I found these amazing graphics of how your favorite outfits for fall could be paired with our favorite new products from the Fall 2013 Thirty-One Catalog!  It's our best EVER!  I'm so excited to share these ideas with you.   I'm gonna hush my mouth, and let the "looks" do the talkin' for me!

LOVE the Retro Metro Bag!!  I love teal and brown, too!

The Cindy Tote is a classic; perfect for professionals or stay at home moms.  I know many who use this as a diaper bag!

I have this bag ordered; it should be here TODAY!!  Can't WAIT!!

**The pattern, Black Happy Dot, is no longer available as of September 1.  However, there are so many other prints that would make this look amazing!**

Big Dot.  Not one of my favorites, but it's still a lovely pattern and I'd totally wear it!

The Casual Cargo bag is one I don't have--yet.  It's on its' way TODAY and I can't WAIT to see it!  I ordered MINE in "Say It Taupe".  Yes, we brought it BACK!

Sea Plaid is one of the brand new patterns for fall!  It goes well with Turquoise Cross Pop (one of our older patterns) as well!

Orange and teal.  I couldn't have done this better myself!  The orange monogram on the purse is what ties it all together.

Yeah!  We've got spirit, yes we do!  Thirty-One has spirit...and so can you! :)  The Collegiate Line has many new teams this catalog.  Check the catalog out online: www.mythirtyone.com!

I think this might be my favorite outfit.  I have the Free To Be Carry All purse in this pattern--Brown Woodblock Floral.  I love it.  LOVE IT.  It holds so much more than it looks like it can hold and it's not huge or bulky.  It's a fantastic crossbody, and worn over your shoulder, it looks just as fantastic!

I think I have those shoes!  I don't have the bag however!  The Vary You Backpack Purse is what it says it is: Versatile and easy to use!  It can be used as a backpack, a crossbody or just a plain purse.  

Another way to use this awesome bag!  

I wish I had graphics of ALL our bags, but this is it for now.  Thirty-One has a large variety of items. We're not just purses.  We are home organization, we are purses, we are wallets, and pet products.  We have sports bags, caddies, utility totes and coolers.  It's an amazing product line, and we literally have something for everyone.  Let me know if you have any questions!  We think of everything!

September is: The month of the CUSTOMER!

Oh...my...goodness!  So, most of my readers know two things:  The Fall Catalog is NOW AVAILABLE and I'm SO EXCITED about it!  But some of you may not know...

What does this mean to you?  A few things!  It means that if you book an in-home or online party in the month of September, and you manage to bring in $600 or MORE in sales, you will earn DOUBLE HOSTESS REWARDS.  And customers know: Thirty-One rewards their customers and hostesses--WELL.  I have people who host for the rewards and earn enough that they don't come out of pocket anything but tax and shipping and get everything on their wish-lists!  If you're willing to work with your Consultant, your dreams can come true!

Hostess rewards are:  Half price items, Hostess Credit (money towards items=free items) and the opportunity to purchase Exclusive Items at a discount.  Only hostesses can purchase those items, so they're an even better treat.  September is truly the month of the Hostess.


Also, you know by now that Thirty-One offers Monthly Specials.  September is no different.  On top of the Double Hostess Rewards special, we do have the actual September Monthly Special:

For every $35 you spend, you can purchase one of these amazing utility totes for HALF PRICE.  The Organizing Utility Tote is perfect for so many things!  I own 9 of them and I've used them for everything from carrying my kids toys around the house while I clean, hampers, gym bags, diaper bags, work bags, to organize my car, carrying cleaning supplies around my house.  You name it, I've probably done it with my Organizing Utility Tote.  And the Super Organizing Utility Tote is fantastic for hauling larger things--and it has a zipper!  I was introduced to this product last month, and honestly, I'm not sure why I didn't already own one.  It's a few inches taller than the Organizing Utility Tote, but that zipper can make all the difference in the world.  This bag is perfect for teachers...hint, hint!

Below is the link to our new Fall Catalog.  You can download it to save for later, or you can just take a peek for now. https://dlifcdwkub65h.cloudfront.net/products/Catalogs/fall2013/Catalog.pdf

 Let me know if I can help you with a party or purchase this month!  Email me: mythirtyonederfullife@gmail.com if you have any questions at all.

August: The month of the handbag!

Wow, it's already the end of August!  Our kids headed back to school, football is back and we're all just about ready for Fall.  I know I can't wait for cooler temperatures and pumpkin flavored everything!  But, we have to say goodbye to Summer, first!

The August Special for Thirty-One this month:  Your $35 purchase will get you one of the new Girl On The Go products for 50% off.  It's such an amazing deal; one I used myself!  I got the "Classic" Skirt Purse (If you think you might fall in love with this bag in the future, do yourself a favor and get it NOW.  If you already love it, get a back up NOW and put it away while you can get it for HALF PRICE!) and it came with the new Plum Awesome Blossom Skirt.  LOVE!  I think it was a fantastic decision to get a "back up".  Before long the only place you'll find them is on eBay for way too much.  A few other bags that I'm in love with are the Carry-All, the Suite Skirt Purse and the Organizing Shoulder Bag.  All of which are included in this August Special!  Below are some of the new purses and styles.  All of these are available for 50% off, and I'd be more than happy to help you make your purchase!  Email: mythirtyonederfullife@gmail.com.

More updates this afternoon, including the retirement items and a few ideas of how to use your products better!  Happy Shopping!

Half-Way Gone...

I know I've mentioned in the past few days that Thirty-One is bringing in their new Fall 2013 Catalog starting on September 1.  And that in order to bring in some new (ah-may-zing!) products, we have to say good-bye to some classics and favorites.  I think the hardest loss for *me* is going to be the "Classic" Skirt Purse.  The bases in all three colors (gray, black and brown) will be retired on August 31, but there are new skirts available for purchase in the Fall 2013 catalog.  A lot of fantastic patterns, too! So, I think for *this* particular blog post, I'll post pictures of my dear friend, the "Classic" Skirt Purse.  You've got a little while longer to snatch this beauty up before it heads to that big hand bag rack in the sky...

Those of you who know me know:  I'm not a fan of Pink Pop Medallion.  I think it's too plain.  I have the skirt for the purse, and the photos are on the sidebar of the blog.  Here it is,  little bit more broken up, for those of you who don't need the entire pattern all at once.

I wasn't really a "pink" person until I realized how cute Pink Cross Pop really is!  It goes with everything, especially Party Punch in this Timeless Wristlet.  Everything in this photo is retiring on August 31. Hurry and get this look.  I know how you can get it for $67.50.  Ask me!

Someone once asked me why I don't have anything in Yellow.  I do.  There just haven't been a whole lot of yellow patterns since Awesome Blossom departed.  I made it work just for them!  Bright and sunny! :)

For the 'Bama fans in my life...Roll Tide!  *gag*  I kid...

I have never been a fan of the Inspirations Skirt or pattern.  But here, with the accent of the Turquoise Cross Pop, I actually like it.  And I like it even better this way...

With the pink!  I don't know if I love the "color" as much as the "contrast".  Either way, I'm happy it's all mine!  But a little sad that it's all retiring...

Gray Brushed Twill here for the base, along with Pink Cross Pop and Party Punch accents.  It works!

Whoopsy!  Forgot the coin purse! ;)

Patchwork Paisley was never a favorite of mine.  But, it's a favorite of MANY.  It's retiring this month, so snag it while you can.  Oh, and after I got all the adorable matching pieces to Patchwork Paisley...it kind of grew on me.  

Oh, my summer set!!  Island Damask was the ultimate summer pattern!  I'm going to miss it.  But these products are still around in one form or another.  Everything in the photo above will retire on August 31.  Get it while you can get it!

Before I saw the new catalog, I decided that Woodblock Floral would be my pattern for fall.  I'm so happy this print is sticking around in a few things--the skirt!  Everything else in the picture is retiring, however.

And here it is with Pink Cross Pop.  I think this is just as cute as blue!  Again, contrast...

There's an idea of how I use this product.  I have 25 skirts and all three skirt bases.  I'm clearly biased, and clearly invested.  Here is a quick look at the patterns this "Classic" Skirt Purse is available in NOW:

There you go, everyone!  What you need to know about the "Classic "Skirt Purse!  If you have any questions, let me know.  Happy Shopping!

Everything old is new again!

As I mentioned yesterday, Thirty-One is announcing quite a few new handbags for the Fall Catalog!  One of the new lines is the Girl On The Go line of purses and totes.  The August Special highlights those products and offers them at a discounted price (50% off for every $35 you spend on other items) and makes them even more affordable and appealing for the back to school girls, teachers or moms.  I'm really excited about them and I've had access to two of the styles already:  The Free To Be Carry-All and the Suite Skirt Purse.  The patterns I selected are fresh and perfect for fall!  Not too bright, not too heavy.  They make sense and work well with the other items I have and love.  Turquoise Cross Pop was one of my favorite "accents" of the Summer.  It played well with every pattern offered, and I'm really sad to see it go.  It even works well with some of the Fall Products.  That's why I'm sharing these photos with you.  I think everyone should see that you don't have to throw out or sell your old products to get new ones!  This can save you a little money and mix up your look!  I've already received compliments about how well I've paired my own Thirty-One products, both old and new!  Here's an idea for you, too! 

This is *part* of the Woodblock Floral line.  Everything except the Skirt Purse Base, the Mini Zipper Pouch and the Rosette are departing August 31.  I purchased these products to be my "Fall Pattern" before I saw the new Fall catalog, and I'm still planning to mix this in.  Look at that Icon Coin Purse!!  He's so cute!

This is my entire collection--so far--for Fall.  Half of what you see is leaving as of August 31, but that didn't deter me!  Look how well it all plays together!  Love...

Mixing old and new is one of my favorite things with Thirty-One. I never get bored! They've always got something fresh to offer and these are some of my favorite for Fall! The Woodblock Floral (originally in the gray) is sticking around, but the Timeless Wristlet (In Turquoise Cross Pop) and the Retro Metro Wallet (in Woodblock Floral and in Turquoise Cross Pop) along with the "original" Skirt Purse (in the brown base with the Woodblock Floral skirt) will be departing on August 31. I'm sad to see the "original" go (it's my favorite) but I'm really excited about all the newer items. Featured in this photo are a few bags from the Girl On The Go Line: The Free To Be Carry-All in Brown Woodblock Floral, the Suite Skirt Purse in Brown with the Sea Plaid base and the Organizing Shoulder Bag are all part of the new Fall Line. I'm in love with them already, and look how well they work together with their departing friends! 

 Hopefully, this will remind you of two things:  You don't have to go broke to achieve an awesome look, and old things can still work well with newer things!  Mix and match and save a few bucks!!
