BUNGALOW DIARIES: Episode One. Welcome to one of our living rooms in the new casa! For context, we’re going to be remodeling this property, which includes refinishing the painted hardwood floors, so there’s lots of change coming. However, in the meantime I was on a mission to find a big fluffy rug to make this space feel more inviting & cozy so when I saw this one from @revival I fell in love. It’s incredibly soft, beautifully constructed & has the coolest texture. BEST part, I have a code for 10% off any Revival rug “10OFF-SUMMEROFDIANE” that’s live until Dec 1. Rug is linked in “revival” highlight & on my ltk! 10/10. #RevivalRugs #revivalpartner
ALOHA! 👋🏽 Allow me reintroduce myself! My name’s Rachael & I recently ended my maternity leave with my second daughter *& last baby*, Stevie! This time I allowed myself to actually take time off so I feel like this is the perfect time for us to reconnect or if you’re new, get to know me a little!
1. Sagittarius ♐️
2. Family is all from Florida but I was born & raised in Williamsburg, VA where my dad brewed beer for Anheuser Busch.
3. My mom and her partner now live on Cape Cod & I absolutely think of that as my “home away from home”
4. 1 biological brother, 1 step brother & 1 step sister.
5. I’m a former hairstylist & I specialized in bridal & extensions.
6. Started dating my husband while he was at LSU for his PhD & we were long distance our entire relationship until he proposed.
7. He proposed on Hilton Head, SC & years later asked me if I’d ever been to Hilton Head. K, cool.
8. We’ve lived in Louisiana, Kentucky, Los Angeles, Mississippi & Miami.
9. Just bought our first home here on South Beach & it’s a remodel *Jesus take the wheel* but I’m so obsessed with it.
10. Girl mama to 2 under 2, Isla & Stevie.
11. I’m a tropical beach girl 100%
12. My tan is real.
13. Spicy self deprecating humor is my love language.
14. I hate the sound of chewing, bad drivers with nice cars, having the laces tied on my shoes & people with closed minds.
15. I love style, copious amounts of caffeine, neon signs, suede, sushi, hot weather, palm trees, aggressively loud ass music & the word fuck.
If you made it this far, you’re my people & I love you!
Comment where you live & your favorite song, show, movie or podcast right now and I’ll pick someone to receive a goodie box of beauty! Xx
Flip-flopping through the day with @havaianas.us. As a new mom of two under two, I’m running off lots of coffee & only want to wear chic yet versatile styles like my iconic Slims. I have them in almost every color & they never let me down, xx. #ad #havaianasmoment

Cape Cod meets Miami 🦞🌴 even though I took these before Stevie was born, I’m sharing now in honor of our annual Sept trip back home to the Cape that we’re skipping this year to spend time with our newest family member. Thankfully my mom was here all last weekend & brought my favorite caramels from Kandy Korner *iykyk*!
STEVIE WEAVER PROCTOR ✨ Our little gold dust woman is here to complete our family! With Fleetwood Mac blaring in the operating room, our sweet little Leo made her arrival at 9:19 a.m. this past Monday, Aug. 14. She’s the most calm little girl in the world & her big sister Isla is absolutely in love. She was named after her amazing daddy & her middle name Weaver is in honor of Steven’s best friend 1LT Todd Weaver who was killed in action in Afghanistan (swipe to the end for a sweet memory) It’s the perfect name for a strong, courageous little girl, xx. 8.22.23

To kick off some of this year’s holiday sales I wanted to share one of my favorite small businesses, Largo Drive! They’re an online boutique based out of Los Angeles, CA and they carry some of my most beloved brands. Shopping from a boutique is a great way to support a small business while still being able to find killer items from your tried and true designers.
Largo Drive is currently offering 25% off with code ‘THESALE’ until Sunday 11/29.
Also! They have a Holiday Shop/Gift Guide on their site with tons of different shopping categories such as The Party Shop, The Getaway Shop, The Cozy Shop, etc. for super easy browsing!
Below are a few of my top picks! Just click the image to shop!
The coveted one size fits all Hunza G! I love this coral color & style.
Can NEVER go wrong with a classic white linen shirt. Can be a beach coverup or dressed up with trousers for dinner.
I live by my Eberjey Pajamas. The fabric is like butter and they last a lifetime. Love this soft orchid color.
One of my most worn sandals… ever. I have them in nude, black, olive green. You will not regret this purchase & they run TTS.
Love this cozy little set, pieces sold seperately so you can do the shorts with the tank pictured or the sweater below. Really great price!
If you haven’t joined the Daydreamer Band Tee cult, I mean club, this is a perfect time. Love this tropical graphic… & of course, Jim Morrison.
My most favorite jumpsuit that I have ever worn in my life. Not exaggerating… not even a little. Only available in a size small & it WILL sell out.
My sunglass/mask chain that I never leave home without. Handmade in Los Angeles, too!
I love anything from Show Me Your Mumu but this is soo good if you want to feel festive but stay cozy for the holidays. Would be really cute belted if you want more of a waist!
Spell & the Gypsy is definitely a splurge but I think of them as collector’s pieces… I know, anything to justify it. I can’t get enough so this may or may not be in my cart… it is.
Last but not least, a hat. If you know me you know I am hat obsessed and I love this little raffia bucket!
I hope you take a peek at the Largo Drive site during this sale, there is GOLD over there! If you have any questions you can leave them below in the comments! As always, sending all the tropical vibes your way!
Aloha, Bestie! Welcome to my little oasis on the internet.

Ooo you picked the cutest things! Love this post!
