Henri Bendel Makes Being Stuck In Hamptons Traffic Less Awful
Starting this weekend, Hamptons season is upon us! While a lucky few arrive to the beach paradise via private 'copter, the rest of us find ourselves making the trek on public transportation. While the Hampton Jitney is all fine and dandy, it could use some extra perks, and the team over at Henri Bendel is stepping in to make that happen. Starting this weekend, one bus on the Friday afternoon Hamptons route will be getting "Bendelized," with fabulous Henri Bendel gift bags for each rider. Swag includes the store's summer catalogue, beauty samples, a full sized HB fragrance, and a splurge card, offering a whopping 20% off purchases over at the store. They'll be on hand to dole out the bags at the Lexington Avenue and 40th Street pick-up location every Friday until July 20. And, if you find yourself without a summer share, nobody has to know — you can always ride the bus just for the swag.

Spend That Paycheck On These Badass Baubles And Designer Duds
With all the, er, moist weather we've been having lately, the fact that it's supposed to be in the high 70s and sunny tomorrow sounds almost like it's too good to be true. May showers bring June flowers? Either way, you'll understandably want to get out and start enjoying the good weather, and we want to make sure you're outfitted for the occasion, with two killer sales that'll get your closet well-stocked for summer.
First up, make some time this weekend to check out the K/LLER Jewelry Trunk Show at the Cynthia Vincent Boutique. Up for grabs are a selection of new pieces and hand-cast baubles made out of porcupine quills, like this amazing statement necklace that would look totally sharp (heh) with a sleeveless button-up, or even with a simple T-shirt and a big, floppy hat. Prices are a little steep between $100 and $300, but that's what tax returns are for, right?
When: Now through Sunday, May 13, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Where: Cynthia Vincent Boutique, 253 Elizabeth Street (between Houston and Prince streets); 646-707-3830.
After you've refreshed your jewelry box, hit up the Tibi Sample Sale next week for up to 70% off the flirty, floaty staples you need to keep your cool when the temps really begin to skyrocket. With shift-dresses in summer-ready hues, weightless tanks, cute skirts, printed pants, and more to chose from, you'll be sartorially set for the rest of the season. Plus, the sale is taking place from Tuesday through Thursday next week, so you can always keep going back for more...if we don't buy up the whole store first, that is.

Hey Favorite Child: Win Mom One Of The Yummiest Brunches In NYC
Brunch on Mother's Day is kind of mandatory, right? Before you think about hitting up another crowded breakfast buffet filled with lukewarm pancakes and powdered scrambled eggs, do your mom — and yourself — a little favor, and consider going out for some eats that are just a teensy bit more upscale. Lucky for you, The New York Palace is all set to help you make mom feel like a queen this Sunday...and yes, you totally get to go along for the ride.
For starters, The New York Palace has two ultra-relaxing Mother's Day specials that you can chose from. If you're feeling a little lazy and want to stay in, the Mother’s Day Morning Glory Package gets you a breakfast in bed for two, nestled in the hotel's sumptuous accommodations. A step up from your usual A.M. bowl of Cheerios, you and mom will be treated to a seasonal fruit plate, pastry, a classic Greek-yogurt parfait, Brioche-bread pudding, and an egg-white frittata with heirloom tomatoes, asparagus, artichokes, and herbs — plus a mimosa or bellini, of course. Plus, you also get to partake in red wine and chocolate, a luxe gift basket from the The New York Palace Spa, and 20% off treatments and services during your stay.
Is mom more of a night owl? Trade the breakfast for cocktails and appetizers in GILT Bar with the Mother’s Day Night Out Package, and get the red wine and chocolate, gift basket, and 20% off discount from above. And, if you're thinking about doing both, it's safe to say you've pretty much secured the "child of the year" nomination.
If you still want to do something amazing on Sunday, but your funds are running a bit short, The New York Palace still wants to help you out. They're offering one lucky reader brunch for four at their elegant American brassiere, Istana, where you can chow down on a roasted heritage turkey and brie panini, grilled artichokes, egg-white fritatas, and a whole lot more. Just let us know in the comments below why your mom is special to you, and we'll chose one winner to indulge in this breakfast of champions. And, if you happen to have an empty spot on your guest list, we'll be more than happy to tag along. Just sayin'.
When: Mother's Day Packages are on Sunday, May 13; Brunch prize is valid until the end of the year.
