Kisses! Kelly Bensimon dotes on her daughter Sea as she flashes her legs in floral romper during girls' day in NYC

And Kelly Bensimon couldn't help but dote over her eldest daughter Sea, 18, on Wednesday as the duo spent some quality girls time in New York.

The 48-year-old tenderly kissed her daughter on the forehead as they paused on the sidewalk during their shopping trip.

Kelly made sure to turn heads as she flaunted her endless legs in a floral romper with cut-out sides.

She accentuated her pins even more with a pair of gold ankle-strap stilettos which complemented her golden tan. 

Sea looked pretty in a red dress which she teamed with metallic flat sandals.

Running alongside the ladies was their pet pooch Fluffy who looked stylish wearing a pink leash.  

Kelly, meanwhile, has also been busy promoting her debut novel, A Dangerous Age, which came out last month and was inspired by her time on RHONY.

Speaking to Bravo, Kelly said her book, which follows a group of New York women, was partially based on her experiences of entering the wild world of reality TV in her 40s.

'Now I feel that I've learned so much, and I've grown so much, and I have to thank Housewives for that,' she said of her post-reality TV life.

'All the altercations that everybody saw on Housewives have made me a better person,' she said.

'I've learned to navigate different situations differently. I've grown up a lot, like I'm a lot more calm now than when I was on Housewives.'

The author split from her ex-husband, famed fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon in 2007. 

Along with Sea, they also share Thadeus, 16.
