With a mother as glamorous and as make-up savvy as Kim Kardashian is, it's no surprise that her one-year-old daughter North West is already developing an obsession with beauty products - and shoes.

The 34-year-old mom, who married rapper Kanye West in May last year, spoke with Elle.com about her daughter's budding independence and style preferences while sharing her approach to being a businesswoman, mother, wife and dressing her post-baby body.

'[North] is obsessed with make-up and watching me get ready and getting ready herself,' Kim told the website. 'She just loves the process. She could not be more ultimately girly-girl.'

The mother-of-one noted that after she gives North, who will turn two in June, a bath her adorable daughter always asks for her 'purse' because she really wants to grab her mom's make-up bag, which is inside.

Kim said that if she turns around for a second, North will have her lipstick 'all over her face', so she had to give her a 'little make-up bag' of her own.

Not surprisingly, the reality TV star, who often matches North's outfits to her own, admitted that she likes it when kid's wear 'mini-me styles' and she loves 'seeing kids in black'.

While Kim insisted that North 'gravitates towards really simple things' when it comes to clothing, she noted that her little girl 'loves accessories'.

According to Kim, the toddler always requests a pair of shoes to wear first thing in the morning. She added that North 'just discovered backpacks so she loves to put them on'.

In fact, North loves luggage in general. The precious tot, who has been photographed lugging a small Frozen-themed suitcase through the airport, always tries to take her mom's luggage.

'We got the Frozen suitcase so she has to carry it everywhere,' she explained. 'It took us about 30 minutes longer to get through the airport because she had to carry her suitcase herself.’

She noted that North didn't want to be picked up, adding: 'She's very independent

Kim believes that her daughter's independence may have to do with the fact she was adamant about North sleeping in her own room - and now that's where she prefers to be.

'She kind of likes to be in her own room and that has allowed [Kanye and I] to have our time together,' she said.

Kim said that she doesn't want to tell anyone how to parent, but it was important to her as a new mom that she set boundaries and dedicate five to ten percent of her day to herself in order to maintain her sanity.

'It worked for me to be able to get my work out in, make me feel good about myself, put my daughter down to bed at a decent time, and have the night with my husband,' she said.

And because those post-baby workouts helped her get back in shape, she has a newfound confidence that has has inspired her to flaunt her body in cleavage-baring tops and figure-hugging dresses.

'[I think I dress] sexier now than I did before,' she said of her mommy style.

Kim and her sisters Kourtney and Khloe are preparing for the launch of their latest Kardashian Kids children's collection at Nordstrom.com on Monday, and the entrepreneur noted that she always gives 100per cent of herself to every project she takes on.

'Nothing comes easy,' she said. 'I know that people joke all the time and try to figure out, you know, what it is that I do, but I work really hard. I get up every day at 5 a.m. and start my day.'
