She has brown hair, fair skin, and has her hair down with a black off the shoulder top on. There is some food in front of her. It is day time and there are tan umbrellas and other sitting down at tables in the background. To the right of that photo is a spread of food on a dining table. There are many different breakfast dishes ranging from cinnamon rolls to a fruit arrangement. The right of that is a photo of Kim reading a book. Half of the book is covering her face and her brown hair is covered by her headphones. There is a water bottle and a laptop in front of her. To the right of that photo is an image of Kim with her blonde friend that is smiling in front of the Eiffel Tower. The Tower is lit up since it is dusk.

The people both have jackets on, one tan (on the right) and one white. The photo to the left of that is of four people's sneakers. The sneakers are all black besides one pair that are are red.
