Warning all avid wedding bloggy fans: this post isn't a wedding related feature – let's say, it fit's a little more neatly into the 'cosmetic beauty' category, however, I do like to stray from the path a little every now and then, especially when it comes to something as super-fabulous as peach blossoms and peonies…
No, I'm not talking wedding florals, I'm talking the names of these incredible paper false Eyelashes by designer Ting yu Wang. Inspired by the art of Chinese paper-cutting, these false eyelashes blend an element of traditional culture with contemporary design.
I'd like to think superstar Stylist, PR-ist and Journalist Katie Antoniou for bringing this little beauty to my attention…

Intricately cut and delicately pretty, Eyelashes are available in three styles, each infused with symbolic meaning rooted in Chinese culture:
These unique and expressive eyelashes come in two sizes: accentuate the corners of your eyes with the smaller lashes for a subtle daytime look, or make a statement with the full lashes for a special occasion.
Top: Left Peach Blossom, Middle: Peonies, Right: Horses
Bottom: Left Small Peach Blossom, Right: Small Horses
♥ Horses are symbolic of success…
♥ Peonies represent happiness and good fortune…
♥ Peach blossom is a symbol of love and romance…
