Kim Kardashian didn’t let a quick trip to Paris — her last according to her recent Twitter post – interfere with her nesting mode.

In between business meetings and sightseeing, the reality star (who is due in July) and mom Kris Jenner made sure to make time for a little shopping in the city’s St. Germain district on Tuesday.
