Caroline Issa

To help us get our Spring styling in order, we're looking to Tank editor Caroline Issa — one of our biggest girl crushes — for a lesson in prints. The beauty was recently spotted donning a bright pink hibiscus printed skirt with sharp white separates for a fun yet polished look. For added chic, the editor accessorized with statement pumps and cool aviators. The key takeaway? Temper one bright print with neutral accompaniments for a perfectly balanced play on powerful patterns. Needless to say, we'll be trying out this look once it hits 65 degrees, and you can too. Simply shop our inspired outfit below.

Shop left to right: Zara Cotton Blazer ($129), Mango Openwork Details Sweater ($35, originally $70), Lala Berlin Floral-Print Skirt ($397), ABS by Allen Schwartz Stone Drop Earrings ($65), Ray-Ban Original Aviators ($195), Aldo Filson Pumps ($45, originally $90)

>> We caught up with streetstyle favorite Caroline Issa of Tank magazine before Rag & Bone's runway show for a quick chat:

Which New York shows are you most looking forward to?

Rodarte, Proenza [Schouler], Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, and Calvin Klein.

What items in your closet are you wearing most right now?

My Givenchy jacket (shown left), because it's really cold outside, Equipment blouses, and a bunch of Phillip Lim stuff, actually.

What are you hoping to buy next?

I want to get a suit, a full tailored suit with big flared trousers.

And any Fashion Week vices?

I think probably just too much shopping during Fashion Week, that's definitely bad. And a lot of pasta in Milan — but that's not a vice, it's more of a pleasure.
