2015 has gone and now I have started hitting the ground running for 2016. I hope you all had a relaxed holiday season. This being the second week of January I have been putting down my notes on how I will make the blog much more interesting this year. Of course I have more soooo many plans which I will execute slowly as the weeks go by. I would also like to hear from you on what you would like me to feature on the blog this year because you guys are the force that drives this blog. I am excited to interact with you all this year and to grow much more than last year.
I don't know why I am slowly loving the minimalist trend, but of late I have been wearing more of it. This doesn't mean that I have tossed away all of my floral, vibrant looks... No I just have been wearing the minimalist style more. It is easy to mix and match which I love. With this look I wore black slim fit denim trousers from Brooklyn Denim Co which I matched with a white Oxford shirt from Arrow and suede Chelsea boots from TOPMAN . The versatility of this trend is just amazing. I will definitely try more of this.

Happy New Week :)

Hey my name is Olav Arthur and I am a denim and print addict. If there were AA meetings where one could get help for loving denim and prints, I think I would have subscribed to it a long time ago. Well don't get me wrong, sleek sharp suits are also my cup of tea but denim and printed shirts are my drug when it comes to those casual stylish days. One can easily transition denim pants to look very sleek for any event (but not a black tie event).
In this post I am wearing blue denim trousers from Levi's which I matched with maroon Converse sneakers , printed short sleeve shirt and black sunglasses. What are your casual trails style made up of?

Its unbelievable that this year is about to end. Wasn't it just yesterday that people were noting down their new year's resolutions. I hope that each one of you have accomplished half of the milestones you had put down. Well I guess I am happy by how much I have been able to do this year. Everything has been incredible and amazing. Although we still have one month to go, so far so good :).
Each day I get to wake up and choose what will make me look the part on that particular day. Whether I am going to work, a meeting, garden parties, or meeting up with friends. How I look symbolizes a lot to me. That's why I have to make sure I plan early on my schedule to know what is expected of me each week (as they say planning early is planning to succeed). I decided to wear a pinstriped waistcoat which I matched with a blue long sleeved denim shirt, polka dot slim tie, camel coloured fitting trousers and black buckle shoes.
I guess am looking the part now :)

Have you ever thought how much time we put into something all year round? Sometimes all I think about is how am going to push the bar from 60% to 101% and make it all count. Maybe am all about perfection and evolution but of course we are not all perfect but I believe if we push for perfection we can achieve greatness. But this post is all about taking a tiny break and reflecting. We all get sooo busy that we forget that life is about enjoying the whole process and making each moment count.
Taking a relaxing break needs a chilled out outfit that will make you look sharp but at the same time giving you comfort. I wore a fern green coloured graphic shirt from The Shirt Company where I rolled up the sleeves for an edgy look, beige slim fit chino trousers from Jumia Kenya , navy blue boat shoes from Jumia Kenya and a woven dark brown belt from Marks and Spencer .
You can still be on chill mood but look stylish.

I do love green gardens with perfectly cut trees and well maintained grass. Their is something about them that just enchants my life making my imagination run bizarre with Disney pictures in my mind. I decided to take a walk around my neighborhood and came across this garden which gave me an idea to do an outfit shoot there. As a blogger you will come to realize that amazing backgrounds in pictures is something really beautiful and I love that about my life :). Finding time between my work-life and life-life becomes crazy at time, so I try to appreciate the little things in life.
My look today employs a semi-official look which I sometimes love wearing on week days. I matched the navy blue slim fit trouser with a top button fitting printed shirt from Diesel , dark brown woven belt from Marks and Spencer and brown moccasin shoes from Giorgio Brutini .
What is your go to look on week days?
