While the rest of the world is talking about how Scott Disick stood up Kourtney Kardashian in Paris on "Kourtney and Kim Take Miami," we're much more interested in her latest tweet.
The eldest Kardashian sister took to Twitter to confess her new found love for lifestyle mogul Martha Stewart.
I have a new and very major obsession with Martha Stewart! Her organizing tips literally rock my world.
— Kourtney Kardashian (@KourtneyKardash) March 4, 2013
We're not totally surprised by this, considering Kardashian seems to have become hyper-organized since having two children (she should take a peek at our awesome page dedicated to organizing tips.)
Plus, she has her hands full redecorating her home and has been spending a lot of time hunting for vintage goods. According to her Instagram, she's found a gorgeous print of Jane Avril and an edgy decorative mask.
We have one question: Can we go vintage shopping with her?...
