Zora Neale Hurston - Florida Author from Eatonville
top of page
Search


Their Eyes Were Watching God is a fundamental book in American literature. Zora Neale Hurston, the author, lived in Eatonville, Florida. She was associated with the Harlem Renaissance. She was also an anthropologist who documented African-American life. Eatonville is just a short drive from Orlando, Florida. I took the trip to see where one of my favorite authors lived. It is a sweet little town that still retains a lot of its old school charm. #FloridaWriters #Orlando #Trave

#ootd - blue dress
This outfit is perfect for a day that is somewhat chillier but not cold enough for a coat. The boots and long sleeved dress will keep you warm, especially if you're a thin-blooded Floridian like me. #KatrinaBelleBeauty #KatrinaBelle #Blue #Orlandofashionblogger #Hats #OrlandoFloridafashionblogger #Orlandoinfluencer #OrlandoInstagrammer #Orlandotravelblog #Orlandotravelblogger #Orlandovlogger #OrlandoYouTuber #Floridablogger #Floridafashionblogger #Orlandoblogger #Travel #Trav

Disney's Hollywood Studios
Disney's Hollywood Studios is one of my favorite places to go. With my pass I like to go for a few hours and have some fun. There are a ton of rides at this park and cute Disney things to buy and eat. The theme of this park is modeled after Hollywood and Los Angeles. Walking through the park gives you that feeling of being in the golden age of Hollywood and old L.A. The front of the park is filled with buildings modeled in the Art Deco style from the 1930's. There is a cute l

Guide to the West Side of Disney Springs
Disney Springs, formerly Downtown Disney, is one of the best places to hang out in Orlando. It's a great place to walk around, eat and shop. They have a live concert venue in the House of Blues, a huge movie theater, and an expanded shopping section with stores such as Anthropologie, Basin, Mac and Sephora, Lucky Brand, Coach, and a plethora of Disney shops with exclusive Disney merchandise. They have specialty chef's restaurants such as Morimoto's and Wolfgang Puck's, Ghirar

Trip to the Orlando Museum of Art
The Orlando Museum of Art is one of my favorite museums and is a beautiful place to spend a day in Orlando. I've been going there since I was a kid and some of my artwork was displayed in the children's exhibit one year. Below are some photos of pieces on display in their exhibits. Some are a part of their permanent collection and some cycle through in their visiting exhibits. #KatrinaBelleBeauty #Orlando #OrlandoMuseumofArt #Orlandofashionblogger #Pink #OrlandoFloridafashion

What To Wear To Universal Studios Orlando
Exploring the Harry Potter world at Universal Orlando is one of my favorite experiences. I was always a huge fan of the books and films, and seeing it come to life in an interactive way is the coolest most exhilarating experience. There are two sections now, Hogsmede, the wizarding town by Hogwarts, and Diagon Alley, where all fashionable witches and wizards do their shopping. You can ride the Hogwarts express between both areas. The dining selections stay true to the books w

New Menu at Tijuana Flats Brings Fresh Flavors To Orlando's Tex-Mex 🌮
The evening at Tijuana Flats started out with a Tex-Mexican pizza. It was really flavorful and packed that punch of traditional flavor. Ground beef and red sauce topped with cheese made it a Western pizza. The toppings of tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream and jalapenos made it more modern and tastier to eat. Chicken tacos wrapped in a tortilla filled with a layer of gooey cheese. It felt like something that I would make at midnight to satisfy my cravings and this dish will defini

Barnie's Coffee and Tea - Do You Cold Brew?
When I actually have a free day I love to start it with Barnie's Coffee and Tea. Their Santa's White Christmas Blend is good year round and perfect for cold brew. It has hints of caramel, coconut and holiday spices. They were founded in 1980 and have become a global brand. Did you know that the first Barnie's started in Winter Park, Florida? Have a beautiful day 😄💆🏼☕️😍🏡 I received this product in exchange for a post. To brew it, take out one of the cold brew coffee pods

Orlando for the Holidays: Disney Springs
To continue my Disney Christmas tree expedition, my family and I headed over to Disney Springs. Formerly known as Downtown Disney, they have many additions and changes to their shops and restaurants. To avoid confusion with the one in California, they changed the name from Downtown Disney to Disney Springs. After walking around we finally went to go see The Last Jedi. We had been waiting to see it all together for Christmas. We saw the last one last year for Christmas and it

Christmas Holidays at Disney - Walt Disney World Resort Hotel Crawl
At Disney's Polynesian Resort. "Mele kalikimaka" means Merry Christmas in Hawaiian. I was transported to Hawaii when I was checking out the Christmas trees at Disney's Polynesian Resort. Their tree decorations tied in to their Hawaiian theme with beautiful tropical flowers. 🌺🎄🌼🌴🌊 At Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. They build a life size gingerbread house every year, and it takes them about four months to make it from start to finish. It was a magical day spent rediscove

30th Anniversary of the Jack Kerouac Project
Jack Kerouac was one of the great beatnik writers and he lived in a house in Winter Park, Florida for part of his career. This is where he penned The Dharma Bums.

#ootd - stylish coat and boots
Styling this coat in downtown Orlando was a dreamy fashion photoshoot. We did a bunch of different outfits and this is one of my all time favorites. I worked with my friend Daniel Bastos, I used to tutor him and now he's going off to college to study photography! He did an excellent job on his first fashion blogger photoshoot. The coat is a classic by Banana Republic. It is so soft and shiny, I still own it but hardly wear it as I'm worried something will happen to it! So it

Music Video Cameo - The Adolescent Theory
I teamed up with local band The Adolescent Theory for the video for their song Memento Mori, which was released on New Years Eve. They are super talented, totally chill guys and they deserve all the success they have worked for and more. We connected over social media and the lead singer Johnny invited me to the taping of their music video. It was the first one I was involved in in front of the camera and it was a lot of fun once I started to get to know the guys and their fr

DRIP - live Orlando show on iDrive
The DRIP show in Orlando, Florida on Idrive is one of my favorite local performances. This show combines dance with art as they use materials such as paint and sand during the performance. It's a really beautiful and visually stunning show, completely unique with that art house look. The venue has that underground warehouse feel, and is at first harder to locate, as it is situated behind Senor Frogs. Check them out at ilovedrip. Heads up, it is a 21+ venue. General admission
