LOVE YR BLOG: Anabela of Fieldguided

Anabela of Fieldguided, Fieldguided, and Fieldguided, is the "Blue Jay Way" of bloggers. Like BJW, and Serge Gainsbourg, and foxes, Anabela is dazzingly cool, but also dreamy and serene. The fact that Anabela lives in Toronto, and we are buds who hang out, is easily the Blue Jay Best thing that's ever come out of my writing for nogoodforme.com. It definitely soothes the ol' "Liz Barker Stole Emily Richmond Away From Me" wound.

Fieldguided.com is run by Anabela and her boyfriend Geoff, who is "Dear Prudence." Together, they create lovely arts and crafts and clothes, which you can, and should, purchase at their Etsy store, especially if your name is Courtney Love. Fieldguided: The Blog Edition is pretty much my favorite thing in the world: heaps of pretty clothes, photographs, words, and housescapes. And sometimes it talks about ME!!!!

Last but not least, Anabela's a total Twitter Genius. I think the crowning moment of both our lives occurred this past Friday, when we were referred to as "Twitter celebrities" at a barbecue. CHECK HER OUT!!!!!

FIELDGUIDED AWESOMENESS: (l to r) The sweetest dress Anabela made for Erin of Robber; a photograph by "Dear Prudence"; "Blue Jay Way" herself, cutin' it up

Tell us one thing you're really into at the moment that you want the whole world to know about.

One thing I'm really into at the moment is hanging out real life-styles with this amazing girl named Laura Jane? Maybe you know her?

Who is your all-time number-one music crush?

My all-time number-one music crush would have to be Serge Gainsbourg. I've said this before, but I would be a very different person had I not discovered De Gainsbourg a Gainsbarre when I was 16, and, you know, I like who I am. Thanks, Serge!

What's one item in your closet that you couldn't live without?

I adore my rose quilted Swan Clothing XL Louche. I wanted one for a year and when I was finally able to get it, it was as though I had always owned it. It just felt so right.

What three albums do you want accompanying you on a hypothetical lifelong desert island exile?

The three albums would be Colleen's The Golden Morning Breaks (for those melancholy moments when I'm missing my life on land and my friends), any Motown "Best Of" compilation for when I feel like having an impromptu island dance party, and Heart's Dreamboat Annie.

What's your spirit animal?

I have spent some time researching this and I have decided that it is a fox (I even meditated on it here:

-- I was hanging out with a fox in a meadow at dusk, no big deal). I often wish I were invisible, especially on bad hair days, and since the fox is a symbol of camouflage according to shamanic traditions, the fox will be my guide. Also, they are quick, intuitive, nocturnal, and have beautiful coats of fur, so I feel quite connected to them.

THINGS ANABELA LIKES: (l to r) Me, being deadly foxy; Serge Gainsbourg, being mind-blowingly foxy; A Baby Foxy, being very adorably foxy, and also just regular foxy, since he is literally a fox
