Keeping Up With Kimye!

Kim Kardashian and her new beau Kanye West  made their second appearance as a couple during another shopping trip in New  York City Saturday.

Decked out in leather pants, heels and a Celine bag, the  reality star, 31, and the rapper, 34, browsed the racks at Balenciaga and made a  stop at the popular Van Leeuwenhoek ice cream truck.

“They had drinks at the Mercer Hotel Friday night, then shopped all day,” a  source tells Us  Weekly.

And it sounded like Kardashian was having a great time. “Hi dolls! I’m so  happy to be in NYC with the whole fam! Fun week! Have a good weekend guys!” she  wrote to her followers on Twitter.

The longtime pals took their romance public in the Big Apple April 5 — where  they grabbed lunch at Serafina’s, shopped at FAO Schwarz and luxe department  store Jeffrey’s, among other excursions.

Though she’s downplayed romance rumors before, Kardashian has always been  close with West; in February, she flew to Paris, France to sit front row at his  fashion show.

The rapper, on the other hand, is open about his feelings  for Kardashian. He seemed to reference Kardashian in his new song “Way Too  Cold,” (originally entitled “Theraflu”). Rapping about ex-girlfriend Amber Rose‘s relationship with fiance Wiz  Khalifa, West says, “I fell in love with Kim around the same time she  fell in love with him.”

Indeed, a pal tells Us  Weekly that West “has been genuinely head over heels for [Kim] for a  while.”
