February at Alumna House was fast and furious, and we have good news on our Fall Collection! 

 

Our designers finished samples of our new Tailgate Collection (raglan sweaters and zipper leggings), we held two lifestyle photoshoots, and we continued to create relationships with boutiques and bookstores all across the Midwest. 

 

And although February was cold and dreary in Omaha, I got a trip to Hawaii to visit my dear co-founder and niece, Carly, who is thriving in Maui. Carly and her sister went scuba diving (see image) and were able to see reef sharks, schools of fish, and a “turtle cleaning station” Apparently, turtles take turns being ‘cleaned’ by fish – like an “under the water med spa!”  🐢💅🤣

Have you heard? The Nebraska Cornhuskers football team is packing up their bags and rolling across the pond to Dublin, Ireland for the 2022 Season Opener against Northwestern. 

This unique sporting event will take place on August 27th, 2022 at the Aviva Stadium. The time is yet to be announced. The Aer Lingus College Football Classic will be the second game in a new five-game series of college games in Dublin. This setting is home to the Irish Rugby Football Union and the Republic of Ireland national football team.

Whether you’re planning to travel “with” your favorite sports team or packing up the family for travel league weekend, we’re here to help you dust off your traveling shoes and hit the road for adventures - traveling for athletic events. 

We’ve gathered the best travel tricks and tips to save money, avoid stress, and travel like a seasoned pro!  

Keep in mind that you can’t plan for everything to happen and every trip is going to include some sort of mishap, but pack us in your backpack and we’re sure to have some fun.

 

One of the fashion trend predictions that we made for 2022 is reigning as queen of 2022 trends for many women in our circle. Comfortability is a top priority when it comes to dressing up (or down) for your day. We know that athleisure isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and leggings are here to stay.

We have stacks of leggings in our closet that are dying to be styled outside of the typical gym, grocery store, home routine, but it can be challenging to decipher how to wear leggings and what to wear with leggings, so we have created a list of ways that you can style a pair of black leggings.

While we been bundled up indoors for the winter our team of designers have been hard at work sourcing fabrics, creating patterns, making samples, and then doing it all over again when we found out some things don't work quite well.  Combining the right pattern, the right fabric, and the right fit is a huge effort.  But there is good news! We are overcoming these trials all from right here in Omaha. Because of our location and collaboration, we can make adjustments quickly without having to ship to external vendors.

Inglewood is a city located very close to Los Angeles, California, and will host the Super Bowl LVI on February 13, 2022.
