Wear PJs as formal pants.

Nowadays everything is allowed in terms of fashion. People can easily go out naked and people would applaud them the bravery. Last week I was talking with a friend and I told him that I could go to a fashion show wearing boxers, blazers, shirt, and combat boots; getting as a result tons of streetstyle pictures and many scary-stalking looks. After saying that I started thinking; does the piece creates an outfit, or does the outfit create a piece? I guess my answer is that the outfit create a piece, and I don’t really care what other people say. Think about it: you can have an amazing and lovely shirt, but if you combine it in a shitty way then the shirt looks shitty. On the other hand, if you grab a granny shirt full of kitties and pair it with a leather jacket and amazing shoes; then the result will be fantastic. 

So last week I went to the anniversary of a Mexican club. It was a VIP party to celebrate the place that has seen me dancing on the tables, vomiting on the bathrooms, and fighting like a black ghetto woman with a bottle on my hand as an arm. I mean those are amazing experiences, so I couldn’t say no. My only problem was that it was a pajama themed party. At first, I thought that it was going to be awful, but then I said “This is a challenge, and I will wear whatever I like to the party.” As I got ready, I decided to pair some cool pj pants with a skulled shirt, black bow tie, velvet blazer, and nice black shoes. My outfit was brilliant and when I saw myself with the pajamas I felt in love. For my surprise, when I arrived most of the guys were wearing: Nothing! They wore their PJs but their TRUE PJs. They didn’t combine them or anything. They were ready to party and then hop into their beds. Some of them even decided to wear only boxer briefs, because I guess that’s how they sleep. I felt like Cady Heron arriving to the Halloween dressed up as a zombie ex-bride. No one told me the slutty memo! Anyway, I was the most formal and cool-looking guy at the party and I prove myself something: the outfit does create a piece. Also whenever you dance in pajamas you feel more comfortable, free, and your balls dance with you with the rhythm of the music. 

Win Tickets for The Great Gatsby Premiere

I guess that one of the most expected movies of this year is “The Great Gatsby”. I remember the first time I read the book. I was 13 years old and I was looking for new things. That´s the kind of things that you do when you are a teenager and your life gets a bit boring. I decided to read the book, because I heard that it was a picture perfect of the decadent American society. Whenever you are young and you hear those words you start thinking about a lot of things. Now it´s awesome to see that there´s gonna be a picture (a new one). When I first saw the huge production surrounding the movie I was astonished. The cast, the director, the music and PRADA! Yes, customs made by Prada! Am I in heaven or what? I´ve always said that there´s not a better way to showcase the work of a designer that in a movie. Think about it, you are telling a story in which your clothes can create an atmosphere, a drama and a climax. Now it´ll be amazing to see the Gatsby story with clothes by Prada.

Anyway I decided to create a post with beautiful images as a preview of the movie because I HAVE 5 DOUBLE PASSES FOR THE MEXICAN GREAT GASTBY PREMIERE NEXT TUESDAY MAY 28^TH! How amazing is that? If you are a true hardcore Gatsby fan then you are going to be as excited as I am. I won´t tell you the dynamic to win yet, but first of all you need to follow me on Twitter: @salvadoreljure ! That´s the place where I am going to be giving away the double passes. Who wants to go to the Great Gatsby Premiere??

Dress Cool, Be Cool.

Last week I had to do my weekly article for Style&Trend Mexico. I was thinking what do guys want to read, and I got to the conclusion that most guys just don´t want to think about what they are going to be wearing. They just need a clear guide and inspiration in order to dress cool. While looking at armed outfits, I realized that most of the outfits are boring and lame. They are like “Combine a cute shirt, with black shoes, and a blazer”. That´s B-O-R-I-N-G!!!! We need to spice things up so I decided to grab some of my favorite Hollywood characters and create looks around them. Some looks that makes us feel like if we are a Goonie or a white rapper with a killer style.  Feel free to post comments, or Twits saying which was your favorite look.

GIVEAWAY: Tokyo Flash Watch

Hello there everyone! How´s your Monday going? Cool? We all know that it´s the worst day of the whole week, but don´t worry keep reading and you will find happy surprises. 

So, I must confess that I´m not a “watch” (as in clock, hour, times, minutes) guy. Maybe that´s the reason why I´m always running late. The truth is that nowadays I check the hour on my phone, and I don´t find the functional part of a clock. I´m talking about the functional part of a watch and not about the emotional connection. The emotional connection is something super strong that you have with an object. Well whenever I wear a watch, it´s because I see them as accessories and not as objects. I even have a clock without battery but I still use it just to uplift an outfit. So, when I met the Tokyo Flash watches I instantly fell in love with them. They are not just watches, or even accessories, they are true forms of art in which you can play with the way you read time. That sounds crazy right, but it´s true. The brand is starting to create cult models in order to give people truly inspiring models that define their personality. I ordered the X LED WATCH which looks like bracelet, until you turn it on and the blue leds show you the hour. Cool right? I think it looks like a giant black stud, and that´s perfect. Obviously you need to study your watch in order to know how to read the hour, but that´s the fun part. You can but online any model and they send it to your house. Awesome!

Now here´s the big surprise!!!! The lovely team of Tokyo Flash will give away one watch to a Neon Delirium follower. The dynamic will be very easy! You just have to answer 4 really simple questions and send them to my mail salvadoreljure@gmail.com . The first one who sends the correct answers will be the winner. The price will be that you can decide which clock you want and they will send it to you. The four questions are:

1.       In which year did I started Neon Delirium?

2.       Which is my favorite decade of all times?

3.       Name the Tokyo Flash aim.

4.       How are you going to wear your Tokyo Flash watch?

      Start sending your answers!

Beauty Friday: Vichy Normaderm Stick

Finally Friday it’s here! It’s time for us to plan our weekend, go out, have a nice dinner and maybe get a little bit wild.  No matter what you do, the most important thing about Fridays is that you have to look your best and dress to impress. Whether you are going to a party or just to a romantic date with your beloved one, I guess that you want to look red carpet ready. But, what happens when you wake up and you see that there’s an awful pimple on your face (usually on the most visible spots such as nose, lip or forehead)? You instantly start crying. That’s my answer and let me confess that it happens to me a lot. My luck is lovely, because whenever I have a big event or a shooting, my skin decides to go back to puberty and develop new pimples. For me it’s like the end of the world, because I feel like people is staring at the horrible spot instead of looking into my eyes. Maybe I exaggerate, but you I’m sure you know that feeling. My boiling point was when I had the Mercedes Benz shooting last March, and that day a huuuuuuge mountain appeared on my forehead. I panicked! Almost cried, and then decided to do something. The answer was to stop paying attention to my pimple because the makeup department was going to resolve the case. After a couple of minutes with the makeup artist, my skin looked amazing and perfect for the shooting but I asked myself “I need a makeup artist in my daily life. How can I afford that?”.

After a lot of investigation I found the Vichy Normaderm Stick that was the perfect answer for all of my problems. For me, it was like finding a mobile makeup artist that can go with you to any place and fix your skin in just minutes. My friend Sergio recommended me this product and just a couple of weeks ago I bought it. It’s really easy to apply it and the results are amazing. What this product does is that it covers up the pimple so it won’t look red and instead it will blend with the tone of your skin, and it will also help delete the horrible pimple. Now you can cover it up and at the same time fight against the pimple. I know what some of you guys may be thinking “I won’t be wearing makeup to cover up these things”. Well, it’s not makeup you losers, it will just help you cover the small pimple and it won’t even look like if you are wearing corrector or a foundation.

Let me teach you how to use it.

This is my skin without anything. Please stop the hating comments and just see the awful pimples in my forehead. 

You just apply the pen on your skin, give to taps on in order to blend it with your skin andddddd......

Who said pimples? Is there any pimple in here? Nop.

Now I use it whenever my skin sucks, which is almost every day. I must confess that now I feel a little bit more secure and confident on my battle with pimples. It’s like saying “Bring it on bitches, I got the right solution to kill all of you fuckers”. 

From Office to Olsen: Basic (???) Black Look.

I hope that you understand what I’m trying to say on the title of the post. I mean everyone believes that a black outfit is a basic, but how can you spice it up a little bit? That was my main question when I wore this basic outfit to the office. You’ll see its long time since I made an Office to Olsen post, but I always think about. When you are a corporative whore you must follow a dress code, but I truly can’t follow it. Sorry boss, but I’m just not into shirts and blazers. Well, I love that combination but not in the corporate way. Anyway, after a year of working at my office, I have really determined my own dress code. Of course I don’t wear jeans every day, but I try to keep things cool at the office. The only bad thing is that I have come to realize that I can’t wear spikes, necklaces, shoulder pads and many things if I want to be professional. I can’t imagine the face of the board of directors if I get into a meeting with creepers and shoulder pads. So this is a very basic outfit that I wore the other day at the office. The main point here is that I had at a party after my 9-5 so I decided to transform the outfit into something cool. Wanna se what I did with it? Keep reading.

This is how the outfit started. Pull & Bear shirt, Zara coat, Hot Topic Jeans, and Zara shoes. 

Can you feel how sad I was because of the boring outfit?

The first step towards coolness was adding a military shirt that I bought at Target.

You can see an instant change in attitude. Now I'm like the Rambo of fashion or some weird shit.

Always say yes to camouflage.

In order to break a little bit with the outfit I wore a neon galactic necklace from H&M.

This necklace feels like something that an actor or actress would wear in the set of "Galactic Balls" or some low budget porn movie. 

If you want a cool outfit then you need a head accesory. How about a spiked hat from Forever21?

Every night outfit needs a clutch or man-purse.

The last step is wearing your coat as a cape, and.......Voilá!

Now you can go out, look cool, take selfies...

Make a brilliant entrance to a party....

Pretend to be talking with someone just to not feel alone....

Tweet, Instagram and text to your imaginary lover....

Criticise everyone

...and just feel good due to your amazing outfit.
