Kim Kardashian wants you to smell just  like her. So much so that she flew back to New York just 2 days after leaving. Kim returned to promote her perfume at Sephora. The original in store promotion was canceled due to snow. But there was no need for anyone to worry their pretty little heads. Any good  A-list reality star worth their salt will commit to peddling perfume in the absence of talent. Now, we will be able to breathe in Manhattan’s fresh air as there will be hundreds of New Yorkers smelling just like Kim.

B.T.W Kim is wearing the ONE SHOULDER SHIMMER DRESS from her  BeBe collection the dress retails for $119. The shoes are CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN PLATFORM PUMPS that retail for $695 and are available at Neiman Marcus.

She will discuss her first steps in the fashion world as the Chanel muse and what she has learned along the way, including:

- How she helped created a fashion empire
- How to develop your own unique fashion identity
- The most important aspects of the business that you must learn
- Most importantly, what it takes to go into business for yourself

Looks like Simmons may be leaving a few details out. Like marrying a rich guy who already owned a fashion company and yelling to the top of your lungs to demand what you want. However, if you want to learn those two skills just watch Simmons reality show “Life In The Fab Lane” it airs on March 21.
