An Interview with Dana of The Possessionista

Have you ever seen a shirt or a pair of shoes on television and immediately needed to Google it? Have you ever fallen in love with an out of stock and called the store to see if you could special order it?  Meet your soulmate: Dana Weiss, The Possessionista.

Each day, The Possessionista tracks the best (and worst) fashion from the best (and worst) television, including 90210, Gossip Girl, Entourage, American Idol, One Tree Hill and the Bachelor and infuses it with her own unique sense of humor.

Featured as a Blogger to Watch by Lifetime Television and Refinery 29, The Possessionista regularly contributes to InStyle and Us Weekly Magazines.

This interview was published on Monday, May 09, 2011.

What do you do when you're not blogging? What is your job?

Dana: I'm a mom and a couch potato. I split my time watching my kids and watching endless hours of bad television

Great fashion steal:

Dana: Denim leggings by Hue. Disposable jewelry from Forever 21. Too expensive dresses you'll never wear again from Rent the Runway.

What types of items do you like to save $ on and what do you splurge on?

Dana: I try to keep my impulse buys on the budget-y side, like ultra trendy jewelry and shoes. I splurge on jeans. And haircuts.

4 favorite fashion accessories:

Dana: Long, layered necklaces. And good teeth.

What 5 items do you always have in your purse?

Dana: My iPhone. It's like an appendage.

What are key pieces from your wardrobe that you find yourself wearing over and over?

Dana: My current/elliot pull on bell, they're skin tight and super flared, but they feel like leggings. Alternative apparel burnout dolman tees. Peasant-y floral joie tops. And my giant Michael Kors gold watch.

Favorite beauty product of all time? Why?

Dana: Kiss Me Mascara by Blinc. It looks like fake eyelashes, and when you wash it off it looks like there are little ants in your sink. It sounds gross but it's actually really theraputic.

Your most worn shoes:

Dana: The Jeffrey Campbell 99 Wedge, The Dolce Vita Beam Platform Pump, and my Frye boots are on rotation year-round

Your most worn piece of jewelry:

Dana: I've been wearing giant, fake CZ earrings for years. They've become a signature for me. If they were real, they'd be like 8 carats. Each.

What words do you live by?

Dana: Dress for you.

What is your favorite dessert?

Dana: I'm not really a sweets person. But I never met a french fry I didn't like.
