There is a reason why Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian) has 7 million plus followers on Twitter. She's always in touch with them, whether she's opening a new DASH store, signing a book, selling on QVC, or promoting her latest perfume at Macy's at Aventura Mall on Saturday.

That wasn't all the activities for the pop culture diva Miami weekend. She had dinner on Friday with bff Jonathan Cheban at Zuma at Epic then headed to LIV for some fun. Hung out with another bff Loren Ridinger, Adrienne Bosh and Eva Longoria and visited her Miami DASH store before heading to Philly.

We also hear that the next DASH store might be at Aventura Mall. We hope so.

She tweeted Saturday afternoon, “Thanks to everyone who came out to Macy’s today! I swear Miami fans are on another level! I love u guys so much!!!”
