Wearing a Fendi X SKIMS leather dress paired with matching leather gloves, Gucci by Tom Ford beige and brown lizard over the knee boots, and Tiffany & Co. jewelry, Nick Cannon’s ex-girlfriend was honored for her success with the controversial shapewear and lingerie brand.

“My days are completely micromanaged to the minute,” she told WSJ. Magazine of managing her fashion brands, filming her family’s new Hulu reality series, studying for the Bar Exam, and many other ventures.

“In order to get away from the kids, I will go into my office at my house and study. And then working on beauty and rebranding and SKIMS, constantly, I’m always in fittings and fabric meetings. My days are pretty full. … And that’s. I love to be home; I love my weekends at home.”

“I don’t see me floating on a yacht,” the mother of four added. “I think I’ll always feel good when I’m working.”

“We’ve talked about it. I would assemble a team of people to take over,” Kim said about her mom Kris Jenner’s possible retirement. “I hope it doesn’t happen for a really long time because I’m really busy.”

In April 2015, Kim Kardashian must have been feeling the exhaustion from planning her travel outfits after hitting three countries in just eight days.

Starting off her trip from Los Angeles to visit her ancestral country, Armenia, Kim was next spotted in Jerusalem.

Reggie Bush’s ex-girlfriend was in the Israeli capital to have baby North baptized at the Armenian Saint James Cathedral in Jerusalem’s Old City with her husband Kanye West tagging along by her side.

Afterward, the family of three landed in Paris for a quick shopping trip as well as to launch the new Kardashian hair care line.

Impeccable as Kim’s style had been, the reality television star noticeably stuck to just one pair of shoes for her entire Paris trip.

This may not seem like a big deal for common folk like us, but for big media names such as Kim Kardashian, not having a gazillion pairs of shoes while traveling with her stylist possé is strange.

Kim landed home in her reliable Alexander Wang Antonia suede heels, styled with an oversized coat from Céline’s Autumn/Winter 2014 collection and sunnies.

While highly unexpected, we appreciate Kim’s ability to style her camel heels in three different ways. After all, it’s not easy to move about in three countries with a baby and a barrage of paparazzi in tow.
