JAPAN PUNK CLOTHES FOR GIRLS. HARAJUKU PUNK LOLITA FASHION DESIGNS, CAMDENLOCK CLOTHING & SUGARPILL COSMETICS.
We’re getting close to the most important day of the year… Halloween! This momentous occasion called for new hair and a Japanese punk fashion photoshoot with my Scottish Fold cat, featuring the handmade knits of CamdenLock Clothing. (Look, Basil Farrow is already licking his lips for trick-or-treat candy.)
My friend Tomomi Fukada sent me this stunning knit half-sweater and leggings, which she made herself. She’s incredibly talented and hard-working; Tomomi was the stylist for Green Day on their American Idiot tour, and runs a cutting-edge Japanese punk clothing label, CamdenLock Clothing.
Punk plaid hat: Putumayo, from Closet Child
Skirt: Spider, Hong Kong Lolita brand
Fishnets: Old and abused, as they should be
Ruffle punk tank top: h.NAOTO’s Candy and Purin, from Closet Child
Tomomi’s CamdenLock leggings are ingeniously designed. Tighten and tie the string at the edge, and they’ll fit anybody. I wore them below the knee (schoolgirl-style), but they’re footless and stretch up to the top of the thighs. Her latest sweater designs, which have been featured in magazines, can be purchased here on Etsy (as well as more Japan Punk boys and girls clothing).
I got a package in the mail from Shrinkle, and screamed when I saw the latest eyeshadows from her makeup company, Sugarpill Cosmetics. Her products are vegan and cruelty-free, so my earless Farrow approves. (I spy another Evil Queen makeup tutorial video ahead…)
I lined and filled in the upper lids with OhMyGoth! Smudgeliner from Annabelle Cosmetics. I swept Sugarpill’s black sparkly Stella over the eyeliner, and under the lids. The shimmery magenta Magentric went above. I finished by dabbing white shadow under the brow and in the inner corners of my eyes.
As for my new hair color… I added cherry red streaks to the bottom layers. They’ll be more visible when I put my hair up.
Smelly cat, smelly cat… (and no, he’s not overweight according to his doctor!)
Basil Farrow is the sweetest teddy bear around. He loves to be squished (look at how he winks in happiness!). For more Scottish Fold cuteness, check out my cat’s blog, Facebook and YouTube videos.
If you’re a fashion or jewelry designer and would like La Carmina to showcase your designs in an outfit post, shoot me an email here. I am very choosy about the items that I feature; I prefer to work with indie companies, and will only showcase something if I personally like it and recommend it to readers.
Wait, don’t go! I’m about to announce an Iron Fist Zombie shoes giveaway with a twist… don’t miss out on your chance to win!
Have you ever done a photoshoot with a pet? How did it go? Basil Farrow loves to pout and model…

While I'm thinking about it, does he ever shed all over your clothes? XD Especially in the summer months? I can't seem to keep my cat off my black clothes when he's shedding his winter coat, white fur everywhere it drives me nuts haha XD
Thanks! Yes, he sheds everywhere… it’s part of his charm. :)

Looking good… Basil Farrow XD Meow! You’re looking good too :) I like what you did to your hair and also I really like your make-up. Is it just me or do you have pretty flawless skin? What do you use on your face?
Hmmm, I never did a photo-shoot with my cats. I should >_> *goes off to plan mischief*
Not all cats are as well-behaved and natural models! ;)

I’m in love with your new bangs!
love your make up^_^ your kitty is so cuteXD
Love the bangs! <3

beatiful Cat!!
Nope never had that experience of shooting with a pet. – Never had the experience of a shoot either. Unless you’re talking about high school pictures, because that’s the only kind of shoot I’ve ever been to haha.
If I shoot with a pet – I always imagine for some reason it would be with a rabbit, though I would much prefer to do it with an owl. OR MAYBE A PENGUIN! – just gotta get my tux for that one.
So your outfit is wonderful again as usual – the tights and the half sweater really go well together! It’s just all so nice.
AH! And going back to a little red are we? I love it! LMAO @ you reassuring us that he’s not overweight! “and…HEART DISEASE! *Basil shows up* – HAHAHAHAHA I don’t think I’ll forget that 101 cats episode for a while!
Anyway – enjoy Halloween…just another week!
Hahah I know… Heart Disease! V__V #FML
So so so excited for Halloween in Tokyo…
Cuteness! <3
<3 your videos and blog! I'm studying abroad in Tokyo, and your blog helped me with what to do and where to go while I am here.
Basil is such a cutie!! x3 Love what you’re wearing!! :D xxxx

I love the fuzzy sweater and your make up! basil is adorable
LIKES! :D And Basil´s fur too, of course. ;)
The photos are really great <3
I totally <3 them ;)
Said it on facebook, but I’ll say it again, great photos! The second one you posted is close to a common pose I’ve seen a lot, which often makes for a sexy picture. If you were facing the camera directly as if ready to pounce. These are still wonderful photos but from having seen a lot of other sets, I’m almost surprised you didn’t have a shot like that. Like this leopard is doing, except a head on view – http://thundafunda.com/33/animals-pictures-nature/ready-to-pounce-snow-leopard-pictures.php

I took a few pictures with some of my kittens, way back when. It wasn’t a nice photoshoot like this or anything but I got some really precious shots out of it. Pets in photos are the best!
They are; they make for the most memorable photos. :) Glad you got your necklace!
