On Friday last week I attended an art fashion installation on Circle Art Gallery which was the launch of Ichyulu an online store featuring selected African designers. The art installation included Christine Mhando who is the designer behind the brand CHICHIA and Arieta Mujay who is the head of PR at Boohoo. Diana Opoti PR facilitated the whole event that lasted 4days long.
Its was something I hadn't ever seen before. If you follow me on Instagram(@olavarthurmburu) you will notice I love clean and amazing decors meaning the art installation amazed me. It was perfectly executed and organized. I must give it to Diana Opoti PR and her team for the perfect set up.
You can check out Ichyulu website to get the pieces here.
Have a lovely weekend guys :)

Casual dressing is one of my day to day dressing that I love. It gives me the opportunity to dress out of my comfort zone and try new colours and styles. I normally go for dark or neutral shades of colours for my trousers but sometimes I will wear more colours or prints. I know most of you experiment more with casual dressing. What works for you? As for my shirts I wear any trends that work for me. I am more comfortable with that.
I recently got this Oxford short sleeved shirt from Banana Republic which I matched with dark beige slim fit chino pants, blue loafer shoes and a neck-piece chain from local artisans.
Would you wear this look?

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?

When it comes to my wardrobe life we all know am a fairly casual guy but at times I suit up like a boss. During my weekdays you will find me in fitted official pants and printed shirts but sometimes I let the feet do the breathing and that's when fitting denim jeans, shirts and sandals come out to play. Of late the weather has been sooo confusing that sometimes I do know what to wear. This lives me in a dilemma but a man gotta do what a man gotta do so I just hope and pray that whatever I wear is fit for that days weather.
Am I the only one who finds it hard to get nice stylish sandals to wear?... It becomes difficult if your choosy like I am since it has to suit my style and comfort. With this look I wore white footbed sandals from birkenstock which I matched with blue denim skinny's from Levi's , printed black long sleeved shirt from INSERCH and black sunglasses.
Sandals are a great way to integrate with your warm weather looks. You just need to master the art of it and you’ll be stepping out in style for as long as the sun continues to shine in 2015.
