About

Elle McCoy, author of The Rustic Elk, with long wavy hair reflected in an ornate vintage mirror, sitting at a candlelit vanity with makeup brushes, perfume, and dried flowers.

I'm Elle,

the voice behind The Rustic Elk. I believe every place has a story and every season has something worth noticing. This is my journal of food, travel, books, photography, and a life spent looking a little closer.
