Leopard | Swagger New York

Jessie’s a sweet little thing. A sweet little thing with sick style, that is. We chatted her up outside the Hudson Hotel, where fashion bloggers from around the world came together (with @bryanboy, @mrstreetpeeper, and @stylebubble in tow) to celebrate online style. She’s the face behind West Coast style blog, Sweet Thing, and has some serious sartorial chops! The leopard-print silk top and the black slacks with wraparound belt are reason enough to get excited for Fall, but that wide-brimmed black hat = ah-mazing. And though the necklaces are simple, they add a touch of edgy bling that every girl needs in her jewelry drawer. Well, that, and a touch of Jessie’s dopeness. Ah, sweet thannnnng.

The N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission will meet Jan. 21-23 at the Courtyard Marriott, 100 Charlotte Ave., Carolina Beach.

The MFC is scheduled to vote on Coastal Recreational Fishing License grants for 2009. The N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries received 19 applications for grants totaling $2.2 million. A joint committee consisting of members of both the MFC and Wildlife Resources Commission has recommended approval of 11 of the proposals totaling $1.7 million.

Grants from the N.C. Marine Resources Fund, which receives funds from the sale of Coastal Recreational Fishing Licenses, must be approved by both the MFC and WRC. However, the WRC has delegated its decision to the joint committee. If the MFC agrees with the joint committee recommendations, the approval process is complete. If not, the two commissions must come to terms.

Other issues on the MFC meeting agenda include:

Discussion of a new fishing license suspension, revocation and re-issuance proposal. At its November meeting, the MFC asked the Joint Legislative Commission on Seafood and Aquaculture to pursue legislation to allow revision of the schedule against both commercial and recreational license holders. Discussion of the issue is on the Jan. 12 Seafood and Aquaculture Commission meeting agenda. this web site meeting agenda template
