Melissa chose three look s for Carla. The first was a casual daytime look. Brown jeans were combined with a brown jacket, a v-neck white top, a v-neck jumper with white fleck. A pinstripe handbag set off the look making Carla look super smart and trendy. What Melissa wanted to achieve here was a layered look, as Carla wanted to feel warm and cosy, yet still look trendy.

The second look was a colourful daytime look. Melissa combined jeans, a fitted funky t-shirt a bright red coat and red scarf. Carla was surprised at how bright colours suited her and was surprised at how smart she looked! Melissa's tip was 'if you don't have time to accessorise add a vibrant coloured scarf to brighten up your look'.

The final outfit was an evening look. Carla is an advocate of black trousers and would usually combine this with a dark top. This looks boring and unimaginative and Melissa decided to introduce Carla to pattern and bright colours. At first, Carla hated her top, but in the end she loved it and feels a bit more comfortable with pattern and colour.

Ellie Balfe did Carla's makeup. Carla wanted a look that was easy to maintain, easy to recreate and not too time consuming. Ellie decided to give Carla a very light base, and a light grey shimmer on the eye-sockets. Ellie decided to emphasise Carla's eyes as they are an amazing colour and she never accentuates them.

Paul Hession decided to remove all the blond highlights from Carla's newly dyed locks. He wanted to update it and give it a full natural colour, and sort out her layering.

Overall, Carla was thrilled with her new look and toasted to her new fashionable future!
