2011 is Gucci‘s 90th anniversary, and Frida Giannini’s men’s collection for Fall 2011 is a celebration in itself.  The collection has a master class in subtle opulence, from ostrich trench coats and the double-breasted croc blazer to an astrakhan sweaters. Though it may appear to be an eclectic palette, it played as quite easy, even restrained, due to the muted colors and casual attitude.

This Fall Winter 2011/2012 Dolce and Gabbana collection  “Sensuality – Masculine Feminine” showcases D&Gs new outlook with amended proportions, fabrics and colors while encompassing their iconic traditions.  For me, their ‘masculine’ presentation showed the evolution of androgyny with black slim cut tailored jackets and overcoats, jackets with cut off sleeves, vest jackets and vests.  Coats and jackets are cut in lace, palettes, herringbone and with embroidered lapels with tuxedo shirts or shirts with large collars and lower-rise pants.  Dolce and Gabbana accessories and toned highlights are in grey, white, yellow, pink, light blue, gold and silver.  Mostly, I love their use of laced up shoes in leopard, tiger, lace, palettes and in orange, green and yellow box calf leather and the reduce, reuse and recycle of suspenders and hats.

GUILTLESS BARBECUE BURGER

·   2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

·   2 tablespoons low-sugar, low-sodium barbecue sauce

·   2 egg whites, lightly beaten

2.  Form the mixture into two patties.

3.  Spray a barbecue grill or nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and heat to medium-high heat.

4.  Place the patties on grill or skillet, and cook about 8 minutes per side (for medium), until cooked through.

Double this recipe, making a big pot of the stuff at the beginning of the week. Whenever you are rushed and don’t have time to prepare a more elaborate lunch or dinner, serve up some leftovers. The chili always tastes better the second time around.
