Trend-Spotting: The Kisslock

I've always been inspired by the 1920's. I love flapper fashion -- the fringe dresses, the sequined headbands, the stockings ... and, most importantly, the handbags. Purses from that time frequently featured the kisslock -- a closure consisting of two miniature buttons that press together, almost like they're kissing. And recently, the kisslock has been showing up more and more on change purses and handbags like this one from Topshop ($15 at topshop.com). See some of my favorite takes on the trend after the jump.
