Amy Grace: Maternity Fashion: What I wore

I’ve rustled up most of the items I’ve been wearing lately. Check them out.


Chris Donnelly: My son is the LeBron James of selective hearing

He’s a best-in-class parental ignorer, and it’s infuriating.


Jill Koegel: Not on a diet? Then it’s not cheating

“Cheating” is for diets. And I’m not a fan of diets.


Danielle Herzog: Kansas City Triathlon: Race day jitters and uncertainty

My husband and brother-in-law trained the past 14 weeks for it.


Tracie McPherson: The greedy American way: Buy, buy, buy

Maybe the cure is to ask yourself: “Do you need it or want it?” Who am I kidding, that didn’t work for me.

Josie Loza: We have Omaha Fashion Week ticket winners
Josie Loza Omaha World-Herald

Today we’re giving away several pairs of tickets to Omaha Fashion Week‘s spring runway show.

The spring show kicks off 8 p.m. today with its Cancer Survivor Style Show. You can read about some of the inspiring survivors from last year’s show, by clicking here. 

We asked readers to share their style with us and why they’d like to go.

Congrats to the five winners. Here’s what they had to say:

WEDNESDAY NIGHT WINNER: Gregory Foxx
I would like to get tickets for my daughter to Omaha Fashion Week, to celebrate her birthdate. My “American Girl” would love to go with her friend and experience hair, makeup and even ready to wear shows. So, I ask for the tickets and pick us. Thanks

THURSDAY NIGHT WINNERBarbara Hanson
I would love to go and take my daughter, with some inner city girls I work with, to show them how big fashion can be…just another option as they explore their passions to know the possibilities are truly endless! Also, just think its awesome to have this available right here in Omaha.

FRIDAY NIGHT WINNERJulie Harris
My 13yr old daughter and her two friends are vintage boutique loving girls who have started their own blog about fashion. I would love to be able to take them to see the show that features Kate Walz – it would be worth a bunch of great blog entries, I’m sure!

SATURDAY NIGHT WINNERSBen Pierce
My wife is very fasion forward and would absolutely love to attend an actual runway show. Could you help make me the worlds best husband??? I sure would appreciate it!

Alejandra Jimenez-Sanchez
I eat, sleep and breathe fashion. I grew up to my mom making beautiful bridal gowns. My favorite memories were when the brides would pick up their finished dresses. The expressions on their faces when they saw something that came from a sketch and their heart was priceless. Once I went to college, I majored in Textiles & Merchandise so I can be more involved in the Fashion world but life took me a different route.Taking my mom to a fashion show for the first time would be a memory I can give her like she gave me growing up. If I get the chance to go to Omaha Fashion Week, especially for Children’s Wear and Bridal, I would be forever grateful. Also, I just had a baby so having a few hours to enjoy something I love is very much needed.

Winners can retrieve their tickets by emailing jloza@owh.com or by calling 402-444-1075
