Find SPONSORS
This is a blog on personal alternative style, photography, crochet, music, and DIY. People like to ask questions about my hair, so I answer them here. More detailed description below.
Jad Montenegro is musician and all-around bag lady. She is the current host of Muzika del Sur News and previous host of rock show Durian Shake. She just released her EP called Fixed Points and Pendulums for her self-titled band, with bandmates Dave Ibao on drums and Pjoe Sabanpan on bass. She was awarded Best Pop Artist of The Year by Muzika Del Sur for 2009, and won Best Music Video for 2010. She is the vocalist of Polar Depth, an electronica/experimental band. Polar Depth was also given a special citation for Breakout Electronica Artist in 2009. To support her bad habits, like playing gigs for free and producing an indie album, she works from home as a writer. She is married to professional comic illustrator John Amor, a.k.a The Boy.
She is not a professional blogger, but this is the space she compiles current obsessions in, like
DIY/crafts
clothes
nail polish
music
dyeing her hair
crocheting stuff for her facebook shop Hats and Things
and the occasional lulz-worthy photo.

I recently got a beautiful package in the post:
PRINTMISS is your friendly little paper goods store. They make personalized stationery, note cards, invitations, gift tags, labels and more.
They are also proudly Philippine-based. But as you can see, these cards look like something straight out of Etsy.
If it’s anything I’m a sucker for, it’s DIY, and paper. I love paper so much I DIYed all my wedding invitations, giveaways, and programmes.
So it’s kind of inevitable that I love Printmiss.
I just ordered these beautiful modern vintage notecards from them. They haven’t arrived in the mail yet but I’ll definitely take pictures! What could be sweeter than seeing your own name on these precious cards? So pretty ♥
Their main site with all their designs is on wordpress:

But they’re just as easily contacted for orders on facebook:
http://facebook.com/printmiss
Amazing classic, vintage, elegant designs. Shades of Martha Stewart’s beautiful crafts but 100% Filipina-made by Ina Amor-Mejia.
She’s such a stickler for detail that even her packaging is exquisite, something I admire and value in any shop owner or crafter.
There are absolutely gorgeous modern designs too. How genius is it to put your name inside these trendy animal-print ballerinas? Ughhh I want all the designs, plz.
These are just notecards, but Printmiss makes wedding invitations, gift tags, and a score of other paper goods. The only limit is your imagination. I love the fact that there’s a Filipina-owned shop that allows you to DIY your wedding, birthday, debut or event invites. I wish this had existed when I was planning my wedding. :(
Check out these Save The Dates:
Don’t be boxed in by boring designs by boring print shops. Check out Printmiss and unleash your creativity!
Watch out for my *official* (tan tan taaaaaan) blog post about this beautiful little shop soon. There will be a discount code given to people who find the shop through my blog and order! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
