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. ♥
On Billy's insistence, I stayed home from work today. I'm not feeling well at all because of sinus infection. T_T Even though I live in Arizona, the weather can drastically change... Not to mention, there's a lot of dry air as well. Because of these circumstances, I'm feeling really sick.
It really sucks because I can't eat certain foods even though I really really want to eat some... Billy has been taking care of me and even gave me some medication. ^^ So, all is not lost! In the meantime, I'm trying to make myself comfortable, since finally, Billy had purchased a humidifier so we both can breathe easier at night! ^^
Though, I'm not going to lie - I'm really frustrated, and sad, and mad at myself for getting sick. Usually I would get sick around Christmas, but I didn't. And yet now? I'm frustrated and mad at myself because I had to call out of work today but it couldn't be helped. I need to get some rest. It was really bad yesterday! Of course, I'll work harder tomorrow to show my bosses that I'm not going to make a habit out of it! I can't afford to!
But... Billy insisted. He told me he wanted me to rest today because all I'm going to do is make it worse. So I did. I'm staying.
Since I'm not feeling well, this gave me some time to browse my favorite Taobao tumblr blog, taobao-finds! It's just a blog where you can browse through the site and they find and pick things that's cute, fashionable, or stuff they know their readers are interested in and post them there! They would also post the source link in case we want to buy it. ^^
Of course, there's no question to whether or not I want to buy anything from Taobao, but the question is: what should I buy?!
I've heard of Taobao Ring and I've read some reviews: one, two, three (this one should link the second part on their entry ^^) -- but I'm always a little worried about it. Mostly because, they don't charge you by how much everything is (no, they add that on top of the commission they make), but how heavy it is. T___T Knowing me, I would want to buy a lot of things because the Yuan is very cheap since I'm an American.
But! I need to save my money for important things right now so I can't be shopping, no matter how much I whine or beg or cry. I have to be good!
Though, I can't help but wonder if buying a cosplay outfit from Taobao is a good idea. Probably not because if I put down a size... what if it's too big or too small on me? Oh, the dilemma! D: Same thing with clothes. Well, I guess this is why I always try to get the largest size...
But anyway. Also because I'm sick, I decided to finally sign up for a lookbook and I have a Facebook page finally. ^^ It's mostly cosplay for right now, but if I want to be even more confident with my looks this year, I need to put in some effort.
I need to showcase my look so I can see how much I've changed throughout the year. ^^ I just really want to love myself even more by doing fashions I would never have dreamed of doing last year - but accomplishing my goals this year!
But for now, you can see how empty my page and profile are on the side. ^^ I should think about changing my blog's layout for the new year, huh?

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.
