If you want to know more about your sign, read your description here.

Lately, I have been talking to a bunch of boys that fall under the sign of cancer. Don’t know how it ended up working like that, but my sign – scorpio – is compatible with them so I have been basically getting to know each one to see if their characteristics line up. As I was discussing with one of them his sign’s basic personality (because this is basically my go to flirtation move since boys usually never pay attention to this sort of thing) he attempted to make fun of me for believing in the stars and what not.

You may think I’m crazy. You may be saying ‘wow Alex believes in Zodiac signs, she’s crazy.” But hear me out. For as long as I can remember, my mom always told me she wanted a scorpio daughter– well here I am. Whenever I became friends with someone, decided I couldn’t stand someone, or developed a crush on a boy, she would ask “what’s their sign?”

Mind you, the whole horoscopes part of zodiac signs IS crazy.  No one can tell the future, and if they say they can, run away. I definitely do not base my relationships on someone’s sign. I will not avoid you if you’re a Sagittarius and I won’t fall in love with you because you’re an Aries, but if I know what our compatibilities are I’m definitely going to take the time to figure out if your sign traits actually match up to your vibe and your energy. And a lot of the time, with some variations of course, I can see a distinct pattern.

I will NOT trash talk a sign, even though there is a specific one where there is not a single person I can say I even remotely like. But this blog is about positivity so we aren’t going to dwell on that.  As I’ve formed my friendships, acquintainces, and crushes, I’ve noticed that my closest friends fall under the same 3 or 4 signs, and there are only 2 where I can say I’ve never found compatibility on any level.

All this being said, I want you all to know that you shouldn’t write off the idea that people are influenced by their birthdates. If you for some reason strongly dislike someone and can’t place why or you’re suddenly attracted to someone after a brief conversation –find out when their birthday is.

Also if you’re a male that’s a taurus, don’t hesitate to swing my way.

NXNE-Daniel-Caesar-7-of-7

I’ve been in my feelings a little bit recently – listening to music that’s all sap and love and mushy – for absolutely no reason. Maybe I’m forcing myself to reflect on how single I am? I don’t know.

Anyway, I’ve recently become utterly obsessed and amazed with Canadian singer Daniel Caesar. With the looks of a soundcloud rapper and the voice of an angel, this man sings John Legend-esque love songs but with a less raspy voice. Honestly, it’s probably the kind of music you would hear playing while walking through an Urban Outfitters, which is basically my entire aesthetic.

He has one EP that came out in 2015, Pilgrim’s Paradise, and a ton of singles over the past few years. My not-officially-professional highly recommended songs are:

We Find Love

Blessed

Get You ft. Kali Uchis

Japanese Denim

You can listen to more of his music on SoundCloud or on your preferred streaming service.

And if anyone knows when he’s coming to Atlanta on tour PLEASE let a girl know.

romphim

 

If you have any form of social media, you would have seen that a new concept for male rompers – called RompHim – has gained traction on kickstarter. The amount that the creators wanted to acquire in a month was $10,000, but they surpassed their goal and reached over $360,000 pledged with time to spare.

The concept that the Chicago-based team has developed includes a full button-front short sleeve-shirt featuring a front pocket, adjustable waist with back AND front pockets, and zipper fly for you know….men. Already this design surpasses the functionality and comfort of any female design, but what else would you expect?

The reason it has gained so much traction is not only because the romper is a comfortable and versatile piece of clothing that should be owned by most people, but also because the RompHim sparked a debate about what is considered “manly” attire. I, personally, don’t see the problem. This romper is simply a shirt connected to a pair of shorts. It is not the equivalent of the booty shorts rompers that are an option for females.  In fact, the RompHim is no shorter than Chubbies (shorts that have a 5.5 inch inseam mind you) that are staples in the southern frat boy wardrobe.  Say what you want, but I am a full on supporter of this outfit.

For example, let’s look at Cam Newton in a floral one piece at Coachella (disclaimer: this is NOT by RompHim).

Tell me this man does not look beautiful. Put together. Confident. I would love to see Broderick Hunter in an all white RompHim and Trevante Rhodes in olive green.  It looks comfortable, it’s trendy; and I really don’t get what’s so controverial about this new addition to men’s fashion.

There are MANY fashionable men who could pull this off in a way that would show they are both concerned with their looks and confident enough to handle whatever criticisms could be thrown in their direction.
