20 Percent Off Tuesdays at Philadelphia Vintage

Pick up collectible vintage from designers such as Versace, Yves St. Laurent and Hermés (all three pictured), along with boutique pieces from eras past at a happy 20 percent discount on Tuesdays at Philadelphia Vintage, formerly Jacinthe Boutique. If Mama gifted you with her late-'60s wardrobe but not her willowy hips, resell the best stuff here for Champagne money.

If your inner cheesecake is dying to get out, sign up now for Bombshell Betty's Pin-Up Workshop. After a photo makeup session and retro hair styling, the queen of garters (née Sara Field) will teach you how to pose to emphasize your best body parts for the glam, multiple-set photo shoot to follow. Each participant snags her every pose on a disk of hi-res images and walks out with the confidence to burn up the camera, no matter what her body type.

You’ve been giving your mother worry lines and a stiff neck for years now. Show that you appreciate her sacrificing her good looks to raise your dumb ass with a Mother’s Day medical spa package, which are all the rage with the Real Housewives. You score 15 percent off four different packages, which range from serious (Botox) to simple (massage and facial), when you purchase before May 10. Flowers die, but Botox lasts, like, three months.

Scope the selection of ’70s Hawaiian shirts and Cuban-style guayaberas for the boys at Plaid Pony’s trunk show at the ever-funky Art Star. Kitschy statement earrings and vintage housewares round out the selection of men’s and women’s wearables, all selected with a discerning eye for fabric and unique prints. Our favorite are the ’50s cotton shirtwaist dresses that keep you breezy in humid weather, while either riding a cruiser or the elevator to the office.
