The numbers refer to how the ladies ranked on Grazia's best-dressed list (bullet one).

Welcome back, kitten! I was surprised by the Zara news, too ... and am still hoping that they'll eventually make their way out to MN. A girl can dream.

that no. 1 is the one you showed with the sneakers and shorts, right? she looks really nice in this picture, which goes to show that she should dress like this more often and lose the converse shoes. leave the kids' clothes to the chinese gymnasts who are around 3 years old anyway.
