cute collars

Is there anything more twee and adorable than a peter pan collar? The collar is named after the costume actress Maude Adams wore in her role as Peter Pan in 1905. Since then, it has become a women's fashion item and is particularly associated with little girls' dresses. 

                                                                                                

I always think about the outfits Mia Farrow wore in Rosemary's Baby as the epitome of peter pan collar cuteness. 

The collar as a fashion accessory can be seen on the red carpet, decorating the necks of Hollywood's best-dressed, and, in my opinion, most endearing young actresses {via}

evan golf's spring/summer 2011 (so what if it was last year!) is super cute, using the peter pan collar and ribbon bow ties to create a preppy and quaint kinda look.
