Moderne Styling: Planning + Packing with Cabo Bound Tenley Molzahn

We are going on Vacation!!
Ok, not us, but some Moderne looks are making the trip with Tenley!

One thing is universal.... Planning a trip means planning a LOT of looks, and outfits. Tenley Molzahn is no exception! Moderne joined Tenley as she planned her looks for her bday trip to Cabo San Lucas last week!

Thanks to looks from Moderne, Tyler Rose Swimwear and Michael Antonio... we think Tenley is going to be wardrobe malfunction, fashion faux pas free on this special vacation!

For those of you who are not familiar with Tenley's style... here's a quick glimpse into her style:
*Favorite Accessory: Belts!
*Favorite Colors: Sherbert like pastel colors, colors that compliment her amazing bronzed glow
*Favorite Style: Casual and cute with a sprinkle of romance

Can't wait to see which looks she opted to wear!! Make sure you check out her blog HERE to see her Traveling w/ Moderne post.

Some pics we snapped during our styling session last week:

Yumi Kim Kendra Romper + Black Belt + Michael Antonio Black Pumps

Mink Pink - 4th of July Dress + Gray Belt + Michael Antonio Pumps

Charlie Jade Maxi Dress ( Available by 6/1) + Michael Antonio Sandals

Mink Pink Delightful Dress + Belt + Wedge Heels


A trip to CABO is not complete without some killer bikinis..
We snapped some pics of Tenley ROCKING her fave Tyler Rose Swimwear bikinis.

Tyler Rose Swimwear: Looking Like A Lady Bikini + Michael Antonio Wedges
Ten loved the colors on this bikini -- fits her style to a T

Tyler Rose Swimwear Bikini + Michael Antonio Wedges
Perfect for an active afternoon - or if you want to be out on the beach.

Tyler Rose Swimwear: Sweet Emotion + Michael Antonio
Obsessed with the ruffle on the booty and the braided straps on the top!

Hope Tenley and Kiptyn had a blast in Cabo and can't wait to see which looks she decided to wear during her birthday week in paradise!!

Keeping It Hot In Tyler Rose Swimwear: Moderne Top 5 Bikinis for 2011

Memorial Day and the summer are right around the corner.





We absolutely adore Nichole Carroll and her bikini line - Tyler Rose Swimwear.. and this year we want to do the suits proud by rocking them poolside.








Our Top 5 Picks for 2011:




{ Black Cherry }




For the babe who needs a bikini top with a tie. We must say.. this is a celebrity fave!




PS: As with every Tyler Rose Swimwear bikini - the pieces are mix / match so you can get just the top and pair it with your fave bottoms to create your own look.





{ Girls Of Summer }






The perfect suit for those with a bronzed glow (natural or faux, a golden goddess is a golden goddess)... Feminine ruffle detailing along the bikini top - adds a little oomph to your bust line (for those of you who need it).






Can we say Pool Party Ready?

{Sweet Emotion}




Smokin hot suit. Loving the braided straps on the top and the amazing teeny tiny bottoms.

Serious bikini must have.

{Gypsy Boots}








Bright colors not your thing? Adore this natural / gray suit with the cutest accents on the bottoms. Perfect if you are looking to rock a feather or boho look with your hair... just a thought.







Last but definitely not least...





{ Shaking My Cage }

So, obviously this is PERFECT if you are a bride to be and have a summer bachelorette party. BUT - even if you don't have pending nuptials, you can totally work this suit all summer long.





Look closely and you'll see that this isn't just a solid white suit- it is white one white sheer stripes and the booty has ruching for the super sexy cut! We are totally feeling the fringe on the top - so cute!






There are so many cute suits we can't possibly put them all up on the blog so make sure you check out the whole collection HERE.





Can't wait to post our photos of us in our TRS this summer!! Which styles will we pick?
