1
Can you hear that?
2
Classic.
3
Isn't that crazy?
4
The minute you yell action.
5
Hi Style, I'm Simone Ashley and this is Unzipped,
6
which is a very sultry title for a video.
7
The item of clothing that I have too many of,
8
I've got too many boots.
9
I love boots.
10
I've got too many cowboy boots,
11
too many knee-high boots, too many thigh-high boots,
12
So wellies, rain boots, I just love boots.
13
I haven't counted them all.
14
I kind of always feel embarrassed to make a guess.
15
But yeah, though the boots problem needs to stop.
16
The first item of clothing I remember spending a lot of money on.
17
It was this Chloe suit that I bought at an outlet in Italy,
18
in Tuscany or somewhere.
19
And it was this like creamy white pinstripe suit.
20
I think I was really encouraged by my friends and they really egged me on to buy it.
21
When I was a teenager,
22
or like in my early 20s,
23
I never went out and bought anything expensive.
24
A, I couldn't afford it,
25
and B, I would just feel so guilty the whole time.
26
If I had to wear one thing for the rest of my life,
27
it's going to be a swimsuit because that means I can be on the beach for the rest of my life.
28
Everyone seems to have a really strong opinion on the skinny jeans phase.
29
I just wanted to fit in when I was in high school
30
and everyone wore skinny jeans so I bought skinny jeans but I never wear skinny jeans anymore.
31
Does anyone?
32
I remember what I was wearing when I got the role for Devil Wears Prada.
33
It was a very specific moment.
34
I was at canteen in Notting Hill with my best friend.
35
It was in the summer and I was just wearing my denim shorts,
36
my Levi's and this silk blue camisole with like white lace on it that I love wearing.
37
My Nike Air Force 1s.
38
I wasn't allowed to tell anyone and I was outside this restaurant.
39
It was the summertime, so there were loads of people outside the restaurant eating their dinners.
40
When I got the call,
41
I just, I'd never done this before.
42
I just started crying and screaming and really caused a scene.
43
So when the phone call stopped,
44
I just went, just just acted normal.
45
Had really like glassy eyes and massive pupils,
46
obviously, from just being so excited and everyone was really confused.
47
And then we went in and we had lots of Negronis.
48
It was the beginning of probably one of the best summers of my life.
49
In the sequel, Meryl wears this gorgeous red Balenciaga gown.
50
that got photographed by all the press outside the Natural History Museum in New York,
51
so everyone knows which dress we're talking about.
52
I believe it was one of first of Pier Paolo's dresses that he designed when he went to Balenciaga.
53
And I just loved the color of the dress,
54
the texture, the way it just fell.
55
It was really exciting to work with her.
56
And any fear or, I'm not even gonna use that word.
57
This is the first time I'm doing an interview about this movie,
58
can I just say.
59
I felt so incredibly lucky to work with her.
60
I'm off duty when I'm not working.
61
I can't even be bothered half the time to put an outfit together.
62
I would say my friends in London,
63
some of them are similar to that.
64
My friends in New York,
65
they all step out looking 10 out of 10.
66
People like when I wear color.
67
They like my pink, I've got this like Mickey Mouse sweater.
68
It's pink, it's my favorite.
69
I'll never lose it.
70
If I ever lose that sweater, I'll get really upset.
71
You know, sometimes when you're like,
72
you'll just be thinking and then you go, where is that thing?
73
Have you ever had that?
74
Where you're like, oh my God,
75
I haven't seen that thing in a really long time.
76
Where is it?
77
Have you ever had that?
78
I know where it is, yeah.
79
There's an air tag on it.
80
To take the bins out, okay.
81
Well, I've got a dog,
82
so to take my dog out as well.
83
My Birkenstock, no socks, obviously.
84
Slip in, slip off.
85
My sweatpants, if it's cold,
86
awesome shorts, if it's hot,
87
and then a sweater and a puffer jacket, sunglasses, random hat, vibes.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
