I'm 5'0" and I am going to go for the regular nikki. I am thinking that the mini nikki is like just big enough to hold a decent amount but if I get it and I really want to tote a ton of stuff or a computer I'll be bummed I didn't get the regular nikki. Plus i think the slouch on the regular nikki is much better! JMO

The mini nikki does hold a decent amount..but the regular works with a little amount or a big amount..I recently used mine to travel and it was awesome..It does slouch better!

i love the regular sized nikki more... i just think that hobo's look great when they are a bit larger. And ofcourse it slouches a lot more...

i do like my three mini nikkis in black, seafoam & yellow! They are great to take to work or the mall, or to run errands. I'm 5'0, and it's the perfect bag.

For the regular sized nikki, it really depends on the smooshiness of the leather. For me, I had the opportunity to purchase ocean nikki, and I felt that the smooshiness was too much for the nikki style. I like the nikki in more of a glazed, structured leather. For instance, I saw a midnight regular sized nikki at the ss and thought that it was perfect. I think that the nikki would look good in the leathers used for navy, purple and wine MAM bags too.

I love the regular nikki! I'm only 5'0" also, but am pretty wide so that would explain my preference!

But in all seriousness, I've seen the mini nikki in person and it is super cute. It's just too small for me, but I am a big bag girl... I'm sure whichever bag you choose to get, you will love.

And if all else fails, get both!!!

I want to see modeling pics of you with your baggies lady!

I think short girls rockin' big bags are the cutest things ever! Although, my SO always tells me, with the sizes of the bags I like, I might as well stuff myself in there as well. I swear, boys just don't understand!
