Photo Diaries: Nicole Williams

Nicole Williams - avid documenter, creative and girl-about-town - captures the romance of winter in Melbourne. Her photo diary follows her day spent people watching, journalling over coffee, and dining in at iconic Melbourne locations; all through a lens of gratitude for our beautiful and culturally diverse city.

"I love pieces that require no thought - pieces that are effortless and easy - and the Thomas Coat has been that for me. This coat is a timeless essential that I didn't realise I needed until it was mine. Oh, and it makes me feel like a total boss!"

"I am heavily inspired by the everyday, the imperfect perfect. There is so much beauty right in front of us - we just have to slow down and take it in. A solo coffee, cake, journaling and the Napier Quarter window to watch and observe is my perfect Saturday morning."

"I remember taking my partner to Pellegrini's for the first time. We ate pasta, drank espressos and he fell in love. There is something quite special about this institution, a place that has been there since 1954. Sitting at the bar eating my pasta, where so many people have sat before me, makes me feel so much nostalgia and love.

We are so lucky to live in a city of such diverse culture."
