I love fall. I love navy. I love leopard print. I love new jackets. I love red lipstick. There were a lot of things I liked happening on this day. It also happened to be Saturday, and who doesn’t love Saturday? I did a little bit of “recon work” at the mall, meaning I went and tried some things on and made notes of what I want to get when there’s a good sale (and when I have a good income). Then I tried out a new restaurant in Broad Ripple called Hopcat. They have something called “crack fries,” and now that I’ve tried them let me just say: I had no idea crack was so delicious. I totally understand why people do it now. Let’s go ahead and add crack to the above list of things I love. Maybe I’ll add it to the “Interests” section of my résumé.

This bag probably seems really random if you’re not a modern art fan. But do a Google search for Jeff Koons and it’ll start to make more sense. As an art history major, you might think I learned all about him in undergrad, but funny enough I actually learned more about him in law school (he gets sued a lot –  those pesky copyright laws)!

So why do I have a handbag with Jeff Koons’ famous balloon dog on it? Because Koons has partnered with H&M to celebrate the opening of a new museum-inspired H&M store in NYC, and starting July 17, a limited number of these bags will be sold at select stores, on H&M’s website, and at the Whitney Museum.

I wouldn’t classify it as an “everyday” bag, but you have to admit it adds a little something unique and unexpected to this outfit! I’ll probably be sharing my bag with Kristin, because when she saw it she had the reaction of a small child who’s just seen…oh, I don’t know…a balloon animal.

If you want to get your own Koons for H&M balloon dog bag, they’re $49.99. I don’t know exactly how many there are or how popular they’ll be, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to stalk the website tomorrow if you can’t live without one. Or if you live in a major US city, they might be in a store near you (the info I have says Chicago, LA, and Dallas). Good luck!
