The birth place to Mariachi, Tapatio, tequila and a recent Miss Universe, Guadalajara boasts more than a metropolitan city with a historic twist. As the capital of Jalisco, Guadalajara is also the Silicon Valley and fashion capital of Mexico.

Moreover, it is my father’s hometown.

A quick weekend escape, I was welcomed in Guadalajara with hearty hospitality.

1. A chic twist on traditional folkloric wear.

Smelling of craft wood and hot salsa, and just a thirty minute drive from Guadalajara, is the town of Tlaquepaque. After traveling for four years to over 250 destinations, I sought to embody my roots.

2. Vibrant Patterns & Tough Textures

Landalba, matches vibrant textures with rough leather. A new clothing line launched by my 25 year-old friend from Guadalajara, Landalba designs are fueled by the entrepreneurial spirit.

The vests, jackets, skirts and bikinis cost anywhere from $100 to $200 USD. They’re already popular in London, but you can have them shipped anywhere in the world.

3. Bright & Bold in Andares, Guadalajara Luxury

Want to stock up on that Duty Free? The best shopping in Guadalajara is at the commercial center of Andares.

I opted for a radiant yellow blazer inspired by the cheerful, colorful buildings of Mexico.

These Chanel sunglasses add a glam touch. 

4. Off-the Shoulder Look in Downtown Guadalajara

I wore this off-the shoulder shirt from a local boutique, celebrating my indigenous and colonial heritage.

Where to Stay in Guadalajara

I was hosted by the Intercontinental Presidente Guadalajara Hotel which was recommended by friends who frequently visit Guad.

My mom and I highly recommend the in-room massage service and the ceviche from Cafe Urbano. The tailor-made folkloric cropped top and maxi skirt that I wear in this blog post was from the boutique shop of the Intercontinental Presidente Guadalajara Hotel.
