Welcome to Rainbow Chiffon! This blog will contain blog entries about stuff I feel like sharing with the Gyaru community or my other friends who are interested in fashion! Feel free to comment or email me! I love meeting new people!
Also, this is where I talk about Yelping/reviewing restaurants with Billy, my baked goods, and stuff that I've cooked. ♥
Sway is all about having fun with clothes in an exciting and friendly atomosphere around the Bay area in California.
I actually don't remember how I originally found the website but they have a lot of cool things! This site has a lot of jewelry, clothing, styles, accessories, and other things that would probably be considered more indie and more hispter than what most people would care for.
But that's the thing - that's why I was so attracted to this store! This store doesn't seem to follow any trends - just what people want or what people wear around the Bay area in California. Now let's get to what I've actually ordered from this site:
Now, I got the beanie during the winter and winter in Arizona can actually get cold! I decided to get two eye ear cuffs because I think it'd be cooler just to get a cuff on both ears cause I thought it was going to turn more heads!
Sorry for the scars on my face!
For the most part, the earrings are like regular earring studs along with the eye decoration. They've lasted since January so we'll see if they can make it to the year mark. Anyway, the cuffs themselves are adjustable and, for those you who are used to cuffs, easy to get used to.
These are my first pair of ear cuffs that I've managed to own for myself so I'm glad I got these.
The two different cuffs in my ear.
You can also move the cuffs around on your ear and adjust them if you need to. I think these are pretty ideal for someone who are just testing the waters with ear cuffs but also the design of the earrings are interesting as well. I really like them as it's something I don't think I've seen - ever.
I'm really glad I made the decision to purchase these earrings/ear cuffs! The way they packaged these, since I bought two of them, they had put it together on a single earring set. I actually really appreciate that since the beanie is pretty thick, they had to give me a small box for it. No pictures of the packaging but it's only a small detail I remember - and heavily appreciate!
Now the beanie, I love to death because it's really cool and I love how it fits my head. Even though it's kinda thick, there's no way I can wear this during the summer here in Arizona. On the off chance that it's cold, I'll wear it but until the winter comes up....
Love it!
Usually I like to wear the beanie to bed because it keeps my head feeling like I have something comfy attached to my head. It's not bothersome to me, even with the studs.
I'm just so thankful for finding SwayChic because of their interesting styles but I think their prices may be a bit too high for me regularly purchase from them. But if you actually live around the Bay area or in California, here are the locations for the actual SwayChic stores: Berkeley, San Francisco, Pasadena, Santa Cruz, Oakland, & Alameda. If you need the actual addresses, you can find them here.
Location
Online, but ships from California, United States.
Service
Excellent. Communication is always open and they seem to be continously active on their social accounts!
Products
I would not know anything about their clothes or their materials so I can't talk about that. However, the products have clear sizes as well as the care that they may need. Everything seemed to be able to withstand everyday use!
Prices
The prices are a little high for me at times, especially when it comes to the shirts and jewelry but I suppose it's fine for what it is.
Overall
8/10 - it's really a price gripe but the service is great! The shipping is great (especially if you're in the United States). The products are great and really have a variety of them.

The nickname is Lily. Born in August 27, 198(X) (which makes her a Virgo & a Fire Rabbit). Currently in Arizona, United States.
Other interests include watching anime, reading manga, writing, video games, baking, listening to Japanese & Korean music, tweeting, sleeping, learning about technology, writing, and others she can't remember.
Kinda shy, kinda quiet. Gets grumpy when hungry or sick. Can be critical towards others but generally very nice and has patience. Otherwise, she likes to have fun, eat, joke around, talk crap about music idols, and sleep. She's nice 99.9% of the time unless she's having one of those days.
This blog started out as a school project in April 2012 but soon became an addiction!
As with most Gyaru blogs, I'm going to do reviews!
Disclaimer
The reviews I leave are strictly my opinion as well as to be considered constructive criticism. My intention is not to come off as harsh, mean, rude or as an attacker but to give the item or store a (hopefully) fair judgement based on my experiences and knowledge.
If you have any questions, comments, or if you want me to review your products, feel free to contact me!
The purpose of “Quick Look-Through” is to, well, quickly look through an online shop that sells to Gyarus all over the world without actually having to buy anything. I would, of course, want to review those when I do manage to get it but until then…
I’m going to be blunt: I don’t have any money to spend on these Gyaru online shops. As much as I want to, there’s just no way I can do it now or maybe even in the future. Or in the odd time that I do have money, I’m rather picky about what I expect and want from these shops. Great navigation, good colors, awesome products with affordable prices and the likelihood of reaching an international market (let’s be real here – we Gyarus come from all over the world).
I will only look through online stores that at least have an English option.

It is understandable if you have any questions, comments, or inquiries. Please feel free to leave a comment or contact me and I will get back to you.
These are past websites that I have done a Quick Look-Through of. They're in alphabetical order.
