Did you end up fondling a lampshade at last years holiday party? Here is how to have a normal night out with peers or without being professionally destructive.
If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. Otherwise, you might say or do something you will later regret. This can get you into trouble or alter someone’s favorable opinion of you. This same rule applies to canna-bus. Moral of the story is when it comes to your substance of choice don’t let it corse you into a behavior you’re not proud of.
Enjoy the food at the party, but avoid looking like a glutton. The size of the hors d’oeuvre plates will give you an indication of the amount you are expected to eat and never double dip! Remember that the reason for the party is human to human connection. So try to keep your right hand free. If you are wearing a name tag wear it on the right side. This insures that your name is easy to read on the right side from left to right when shaking hands.
Although the holiday party is a time to have fun and socialize with your colleagues, it doesn't mean you forsake professionalism. Business attire is still expected, but you can add some flair. For your casual office gatherings a fair isle sweater with slacks or chinos is probably all you need. For larger company parties or fundraisers follow the dress code since a tux or suit may be required. Whatever you do don’t be the guy in an ugly sweater suit!
Some parties involve a gift exchange. Stay in the price range recommended. Avoid purchasing anything risqué or personal. Remember that this is an office party and not a bunch of your frat brothers getting together.
Your company party may be the only time you see the president, CEO or VPs in person. This is a great opportunity to become visible to your organization's higher-ups. Approach them with a smile, introduce yourself if they don’t already know your name, and keep the conversation short. You want to be friendly, but you don’t want to keep them from talking to others. Don’t use this as an opportunity to complain about your job, your coworkers, or the company.
Before you start doing it for the gram and snapping candid shots of your coworkers having fun, make sure you have their permission. Avoid poses that can embarrass them land you later. It's fine to take selfies with your office friends as long as the other people agree. Never post anything on social media without asking everyone in the picture first. You should always respect people’s privacy.
Most of the time, showing up about fifteen minutes after the party starts is ideal, unless it’s a sit-down dinner with a designated time to be served. If so show up on time. No one likes squatters so as soon as you see the event starting to wind down, it is time to make an exit. Look for signs that it’s time to go, such as the host picking up glasses or retrieving the guests’ coats.

North and Mark is a New York City based mens outerwear brand that focuses on blending traditional menswear silhouettes with cutting edge perforce fabrics. These pieces are waterproof, wind resistant and flexible. Their goal is to get rid of men that look like arctic explores on their way to work. Since their inception they have been featured in publications like Mens Journal, Wired and our favorite publication Amanaboutstyle.com.
Today we are going to be showing you an unboxing and give a quick review of the the maxwell stripe long parka. This is a mid-weight, water-resistant, hooded parka.
This parka retails for $295.00 and it comes in three colors black with a white stripe, navy with a red stripe or khaki with a red stripe. These jackets are made from 3-layer waterproof, windproof fabrics that have 4-way stretch. This is ideal for anyone who lives in a moderate climate or those who are looking for a stylish transitional jacket.
The shell of this coat is 91% polyester and 9% spandex. The lining is 90% nylon, 10% spandex. As far as care goes it is recommended that you machine wash it in warm on a gentle cycle and hang dry.
On a non-apparel note North and Mark nails it when it comes to presentation. Imagine if I give you an expensive gift and I just wrapped it in two plastic bags. Now you would be graceful in receiving the gift but you might feel like I didn’t put much thought into the gift. Now If I gave you that same gift, but it was wrapped perfectly with a note inside, the presentation would make you feel even more valued. Yet many retailers give like the first scenario. So its refreshing when a retailer gives you an appealing package that contains a nice garment bag as well. Some of the other pros besides presentation come down to the small details.
The reversible reflective cuffs - these are perfect for those who bike or walk for their commute.
Plenty of pockets - there are two front pockets with two mesh pockets on the inside for keeping belongs safe without making you look bulky
It’s machine washable - the less things you have to dry clean are always beneficial to your wallet.
It’s easy to style casually or formally.
Smudges - the khaki color way does tend to show dirt and smudges so aim for a darker color if you have a more active lifestyle.
No automatic exchanges at this time. So just buy two if you are unsure and return the other, but their size charts are accurate! ( The jacket you see pictured is a small and the model is 5’ 11' and has a 38 chest)
They do not ship internationally at this time but if you live outside the US they will do their best to accommodate any requests. (info@northandmark.com)

There has always been a stigma attached to people who are seen eating alone. So we at AMAS decided to give you some of our favorite reasons to dine solo. For this we decided to visit our friends over at Conversation Seattle. Join us as we dine at one of Seattles premier restaurants.
Helmed by Executive Chef Derek Simcik and Executive Pastry Chef Kate Sigel, Conversation provides a sensory experience through culinary offerings in a setting that reminds us of what’s most important. Take a break from running around in downtown Seattle (or escape a busy day at the Washington State Convention Center) and allow yourself to enjoy face-to-face time with the people who matter most in your life.
Inspired by Chef Derek’s international travels as a child, the restaurant menus at Conversation are a reflection of foods his family enjoyed together while abroad, reflecting his passion for pushing the boundaries of culinary creativity while still providing a sense of thoughtful nostalgia.
Adding to the story, Chef Kate Sigel’s pastries and desserts bring a cleverly sweet perspective to the table while the design of our downtown Seattle restaurant provides guests with a captivating yet comfortable background for connection.
Take a seat. We can't wait to meet you.

Travelers often expect a whole host of accommodations and amenities during their stay at a hotel. But it’s as much on the guest as it is hotel employees to foster a pleasant experience. In this weeks episode we visited the luxurious Sound Hotel. Thanks to Bryan Everly director or marketing and sales at the sound we give you a complete guide on proper hotel etiquette . We cover everything from how to get an upgrade, who to tip, and what not take from a room. Even those who would like to propose or be wed weren’t left out. With twenty plus years of industry knowledge we made sure no stone was left unturned.
The Sound offers an experience that’s always of the moment. It’s located between landmarks like the Space Needle and Pike Place Market, and down the street from iconic Seattle retailers like Nordstrom and REI. It’s around the corner from Amazon, while just steps away from legendary coffeehouses, museums, pubs and international dining. The Sound is both your central launch pad for adventure and a stylish, comfortable place to recharge when the day is over.
