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. ♥
Ugh. When I was working extra hard the past two weeks, I've realized something: I cannot eat anything that requires a spoon and/or a fork. Why? Because Billy and I only have a couple at home and there's no utensils at work that I can use. I've been trying to find time in between days at work (and I'd even search during my lunch times/breaks) to search for a fork & spoon set that I could use whenever I'm at lunch or whatever.
There had only been a total number of one time I didn't have a spoon/fork with me (in which case, Billy had forgotten to give it to me) so I couldn't eat for that break time. It sucked because I was in a pretty sad mood on that day too... I'm very harsh towards myself so if I fail to do a certain task that's important, I tend to beat myself up over it. :\ It's something that I really need to stop doing!
Anyway, so I started my search and even asked my Twitter friends. Diana actually gave me this link on Ali Express and truth to be told there really wasn't anything that I wanted. I wanted a spoon & fork set, sure, of course, but I also really want a cute case where it won't get dirty. D: I'm paranoid enough - I don't want to make it worse for me!
Well, maybe this but I'd probably use this in a giveaway.
So it was back to square one. I searched on eBay but the ones that came up that I wanted (Rilakkuma because, of course, I'd want that) were $50-$60. o_o Like, why? Why??
I went to Amazon where I found this one and it's the cheapest one I could find with everything I want. Well, I could do without the chop sticks but that's okay. It can come too. :P Besides, Billy always teases me that I can't use chopsticks as well as he does! What a butthole! :o
If anything, I would consider buying this one because I have a strawberry bento box anyway (I should start using that to carry my lunches anyway) so it can match. Plus it's a spork! And it comes with a little case for the top. But I've never bought from this online store before so I don't know what to expect.
Should I just cave and get the spork or should I just get the Rilakkuma case? At least with the Rilakkuma case, it'd come with some chopsticks in case the mood does strike me. What do you think?
Guh! I hate being picky but then...it's probably a really good thing.
Since I've really wanting to try different styles, there's one style that I've been really interested in lately. And it's called fairy-kei. Oh, I still really want to be involved in Gyaru and maybe dabble a little into Ulzzang but ^^ I want to try fairy-kei! I've always really liked pastel and while I do very much still love Gyaru, I feel that I really can't be creative with it anymore.
Maybe it's because I'm older or maybe it's because I want to retain my youth, I feel that I should keep trying to have fun while I'm young. I'm sure there's even some Fairy Kei Mamas around! ^^ But if you don't know what Fairy Kei is, Chole had actually made a post about it on her blog!
Or what I could do, though, is use the Gyaru makeup and use the natural beauty of Ulzzang, and just style myself in wacky pastel colors. ^^ Hehe...I have some ideas already forming in my head! In fact, I've been looking at some wigs because while I already dyed my hair a lighter shade back in September, I'm still working in a customer service industry and I'm pretty sure they don't want me to wear crazy colors like pastel purple or neon pink. ^^;;
Plus the community seems like a lot of fun and everyone seems really nice! But then... that's what I first thought about the Gyaru community...

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.
