Fairytale fashion and the Peter Pan collar x

I have always loved the cute, vintage, preppy appeal of the Peter Pan collar and with the emergence of a veritable feast of this particular design detail popping up all over the high street this winter, the dream destination of Neverland is never far away! After scouring the shops, I have popped these beauties on my Christmas wish list.

Leopard trim dress £35 Topshop, Lace dress £45 Miss Selfridge
These darling dresses add a sexy twist to the nostalgic prim and proper Peter Pan collar. With the addition of animal print and aluring lace, they give a cheeky wink to the trend.

Button Front Blouse £265 Milly at Net-A-Porter, Lace Collar Blouse £30 Next
I love the sheen of the silk on this Milly blouse and the bold contrast between the black and white which add a touch of sophisticated fun to this nostalgic look. As tops, either of these would look amazing teamed with super skinny Jeans or tucked into leather shorts for daring, contemporary chic.

Red open back dress £38 ASOS, Camel Coat £345 BABBU at Skirt
The optimisim of the futuristic look and it's connotations with swinging sixties fashion surface year upon year and owe themseves pefectly to the Peter Pan collar. These simple silhouettes breathe life into the past yet again.

Maybe its the inner child in me, the reluctance to ever grow up, but the Peter Pan collar makes me feel cuddly and soft and the likes of Alexa Chung, Agyness Deyn and Nicole Richie all seem to agree. xxx
