Happy Monday, Bombers and Bombshells!
Today, we wanted to introduce you to a bomb brand you should know: Queendom by Romance.
The lingerie line has gorgeous pieces for the sassy Bombshell looking to add boldly hued, cheeky pieces to their boudoir wardrobe.
We sat down with the owner of Queendom by Romance, Romance Anastasa, to discuss how and why she started her lingerie line.
Romance says, “I’m from Chicago, and went to school in San Diego. As I was working my way through school, I worked at Macy’s. My real name is Romance, and they loved that, [so my supervisors thought it would be appropriate to put me in the lingerie department]. I was a lingerie specialist there for about 2 years, and I loved it. That’s all I always thought about. Even though I’m a nurse by trade, I just always thought about lingerie. I was drawing it, I was buying pieces, my own lingerie closet has always been huge. That’s just how I got started.”
She continues, “I worked my way up in nursing, and eventually got into healthcare sales. At 27, I was the VP of sales and marketing for a healthcare company. I was very fortunate to have this amazing boss who pushed me to follow my dreams. With his permission and with his resources, I was able to open my first store in 2015.”
She says, “I put my focus on normal girls. I feel like being an African-American woman, one of the things we champion is that we are beautiful too. The [traditional] standard of beauty is nowadays not the only standard of beauty in the world. But [now it’s trendy] to have full glam, you have to have a BBL [or a nice shape], so I always try to focus on normal girls. All my social media, all my website, my customers, I wanted them to feel proud to be within their normal selves. [I call them] Little Aaliyah’s because Aaliyah was the epitome of a normal girl. I wanted to shift the focus a little bit. So not only black women, all women, any woman [of] any shape [or] size… could know that they’re beautiful. “
Her advice to young entrepreneurs looking to break into lingerie? “Don’t stop, never give up. If you’re passionate about it, and if you love it and are having fun with it, never ever ever give up. I honestly hate to say the word fail because it has such a negative connotation, but I’ve honestly failed so many different times.”
She explains, “At one point I had 2 stores and I had to close them. Then Covid came, I had these 3 stores, and I had to close . It hit [me] and a lot of other businesses in the most terrible way. But I’m passionate about [lingerie], and I want women to feel that they’re beautiful. I [also] want other women who look like me, from the South Side of Chicago, to know that they can do this. So you just have to keep going. You’re not gonna make money every single day, every single month even. But if you’re passionate about it, and you’re motivated, and you’re resilient, and you believe in yourself, GOD will open the door for you.”
She continues, “Social Media has painted this picture of, ‘you just gotta hustle,’ and’ you gotta get up everyday, ‘ That’s not all you have to do. It’s really hard and even with that hustle, and even with that back breaking work, you might still fail. You just have to be able to be resilient, get up again tomorrow, and keep going.”
In closing, she says, “I want the audience to know that I did fail a lot of times. I’m not this [overnight] success story. I was a VP of Business Development. I made 6 figures starting at 27. I walked away and I still make 6 figures, but it’s my brand. And it’s because I didn’t give up.”
That’s powerful! We love a good success story, and the lingerie is beautiful to boot!

In the world of fashion, we’ve seen an influx of black luxury designers over the past decade. As the weather
warms up, you’ll be racing to get into that two-piece. There’s no swimwear line that compares to Delyx Ltd.
Best known for their versatility in mid-season apparel, this new company is making their mark in fashion.
In their first year in business, Delyx Ltd. made debut appearances in world-renowned shows. They graced the
stages of New York Fashion Week (NYFW) and DC Swim Week right out of the gate. This luxury line is definitely
not camera shy! Their products were featured on-air by Fox5 DC as one of the ‘Lines to Look Out For’ during a preview for DC Swim Week. The lush materials, and multi-wear pieces make for a fashionista’s dream.
Delyx Ltd. was founded by University of Florida grads, Sophia Stallworth and Sharice Barnes, and this
dynamic duo is taking the industry by storm. When you dream up a fashion line that produces high quality winter weather apparel and swimwear, everyone wants to know “How did you come up with this?”. The longtime friends explain, “Well, we were going shopping on a ski trip, when we realized we had no space in our luggage…”
Sharice says, “Truth be told, on any given trip, either or both of us has over packed. Reminiscing about the
beautiful things we’d seen while shopping, we started to think about the “what ifs”… What would make it possible to purchase less, yet maintain quality, style and variety?”
Sophia adds, “After doing some research, we noticed there was a big gap in the market. We weren’t able to find high quality products with multiple color options, different attachments. Most of all, companies aren’t making clothes that are reversible and can be worn multiple ways! So, we decided to create them ourselves. Like most great things, Delyx was born out of the premise of necessity.“
A focus on high quality material and multi functionality sets Delyx apart. Let’s take a dive in the deep end and get a sneak peak. You can find them this summer, as the featured brand, opening night, at Orange Fashion Fashion Week, July 6th and in the Genesis Show by DC Swim Week Official in Miami Swim Week July 8th.

You read that right. Your favorite comfy styles are the must-have shoes this summer. You can wear your fresh summer kicks with any other summer trends, pairing them with printed shorts, wide-leg jumpsuits, maxi skirts, and more.
White sneakers paired with dresses will be particularly on-trend this season. Pair a midi dress in one of summer 2021’s top colors or prints with white sneakers and you’re ready to take on any activity in style. Whether you’re seeing the sights on that long-awaited trip or kicking back for a barbecue in a friend’s yard, you’ll stay comfortable while looking decidedly on-trend.
Puff-Sleeve Tops
Puff sleeves are one of the top women’s summer fashion trends this season, and they’re fun to mix and match with other popular pieces to create fun summer outfits. Instantly add a little drama to your look with a stunning puff sleeve. You’ll find everything from small, subtle sleeves to exaggerated styles, so you’re sure to find the ideal style to work into your wardrobe.
Balance out the dramatic detail of the sleeves with a sleek solid bottom like classic denim shorts for a laid-back day or black pants for a dressier outing. Want to take your on-trend look a step further? Wear your puff sleeves with overalls. Another top trend this summer, overalls transition well through changing weather. You can’t go wrong by pairing overalls with a puff-sleeved statement top in a floral design — a print you’ll also see everywhere this season.
Flowy Dresses in Statement Colors
Speaking of prints and colors that will be popular come summer, bold stripes, polka dots, and tie-dye are poised to top the summer lists along with those florals. If you’re in the mood for a solid color, you’ll have plenty of shades to choose from as well. Vibrant hues like coral and yellow are just as sought-after as pastels like mint and lavender.
You can easily work these trendy patterns and colors into your warm-weather plans with simple, versatile items that let the print do the talking. What better way to get into the summertime spirit than with a flowy, breezy dress? Go with a bright, tiered design for a go-anywhere wardrobe staple that works just as well for brunches with friends and as a quick cover-up after a dip in the pool or ocean.
Biker Shorts
Sure, biker shorts make bike rides more comfortable. But they’re also coming in strong as one of the top clothing trends for summer 2021. You can easily tailor this practical piece for any occasion, too. Go casual with a sports bra or sporty top and sneakers, or go for a dressier, classic look by pairing with a timeless white T-shirt and oversized blazer. Add some strappy sandals or open-toed mules and you’re ready for anything.
If biker shorts aren’t your thing, you can still take inspiration from these outfits. Just trade the biker shorts for denim shorts or cutoffs and keep the rest. You’ll create a summer look that’s always in style.
With a variety of summer outfits and trends out there, you’re sure to find a look perfect for you!
