Laurie Ferraro

How would you describe your personal style?

I’m a bit of a tomboy and I love the classic French style of simple, chic, silhouettes and timeless staples. Lots of denim, leather jackets and trench coats.

What do you love most about your followers?

The support they give me and the conversations I get to have with them through our DMs. I’ve met so many great women this way.

Does your follower group have a name? If not, what would you call them?

Haha nope, they do not.

Where do you find inspiration for your posts?

Currently from vintage photographs, old copies of Vogue and Harper's and other influencers that I admire.

What was your favorite part about the Mode Around The Globe Getaway to Cartagena?

Always, always the group of women I had the pleasure of traveling with. The Mode team has a talent for bringing a great crew together – from the influencers, to the photographer and the Team themselves.

What did you love most about the Hilton Cartagena?

The ceviche. Omg it was good.

What was your favorite aspect of the Conrad Cartagena?

The property. It was so beautiful from the rooms, the restaurants, to both pool areas.

What are some current fashion trends that you hope are here to stay?

Relaxed fitting pants. Oversize coats, baggy tees. Basically anything that makes me look like a potato but feels like a dream.

Neutrals (always), high rise – wide legged pants.

Russian Doll!!

What activities do you do to stay fit?

Boxing, I try and do cardio and then resistance band training at least 2 times a week. I also love being outdoors and getting active through an activity – hiking, snowboarding, stand up paddle boarding (depends where in the world I am)

What are a few of your travel “must have” beauty products?

Makeup wipes that I can keep on me, especially in warm climates. SPF moisturizer for my face. Misting sprays.

What kind of food from home do you crave the most when you’re traveling?

Simple foods – Avo toast (but you can literally get this everywhere), cucumber and hummus on rice cakes, roasted veggie salads. And my Mum’s cooking.

What’s something about you that none of your followers know?

I never tell secrets.

What is one thing you would like to say to your fans?

Laurie: Just to remind them that what they see on my Instagram is a curated set of images that are edited and selected from a full shoot – that I am full of flaws and have good days and bad days just like anyone else. That Instagram is not real life and we cannot compare ourselves to what we see on there. I am currently sitting in a café in old yoga pants, with 6 days of dry shampoo in my hair, no make up, eating a croissant and this is real life!!! No lies.
