Little House on the Prairie style?

Well, not quite, although if Laura Ingalls Wilder were around today (and living in Manhattan), I'm sure she'd carry her yoga mat and Blackberry in one of these incredible shoulder bags from Bookhou.  Hearkening back to the simplicity of design during Laura's time, yet staying fresh with modern prints and fabric, these bags help bring natural elements back into your everyday routine.

Each bag has a hand-printed design inspired by nature, printed on various subtle colors of linen with a cotton lining.  The above bags are each available at Cut & Paste, or you can browse the Bookhou site to check out all their great designs. 

Although these bags would be well suited for your daily hectic routine, I have a feeling they'd be happiest carrying vegetables from the farmer's market or wine and bread up to grassy picnic spot under an elm tree.  That is, if shoulder bags had feelings...but that's for another blog I suppose.  =)
